COTI Carnival

Stella's school had their annual carnival and Stella had so much fun like she always does!! They had a great petting zoo where Stella got to feed a baby goat with a little bottle which she loved. They also had a fun little train to ride on, of course the pony rides, a bounce house and tons of fun games to play and win prizes. They always do such a great job and we had so much fun!!

Easter Sunday!!

This Easter we spent the night at Mimi and Papa's so we could wake up to the Easter Bunny there and then head to church and brunch! It was so much fun!! The Easter Bunny brought Stella some fun toys and candy and lots of eggs to hunt for in the back yard. Stella is still talking about Easter and hunting for eggs to this day! I guess she really had a good time!

Easter Party at Bent Tree

We had our annual Easter party at Bent Tree this year and Stella loved it of course! We waited and waited to get our picture made with the Easter bunny but it just did not happen this year. But Stella tore up the Easter Egg Hunt. She left with so much candy and eggs it was unbelievable! Last year she wanted to open them all before going to find another one...this year it was definitely quantity over quality for sure. It was hilarious!!

Ella coming to Vist

As usual I am really behind in posting on here...but better late than never!! So Stella's best girlfriend who sadly moved away came to visit us back a while ago!! The girls were so excited to see each other they just ran and played like no time had passed! It was so cute! Stella was talking about her non stop once she left and we are just now getting back to realizing she is far away....we will have to go and visit soon!!

Da Vinci Pictures

We get our pictures professional done each year and this year the pictures came out so cute! Mimi and Papa came with us this time and they got to be in a couple of the pictures. Stella of course had to wear her very favorite Minnie Mouse shoes...which I am sure will think it is hilarious later on in life!

Singing in Bible Study

Stella goes to the best little bible study while I have my Monday morning bible study every week. They have a little lesson each week and do a craft and it is so cute! This time they learned a song about the Fruits of the Spirit and yesterday they came into our class to sing it to all of us! It was sooooo precious!!

Riding a Camel!!

Stella and I went to the Dallas Zoo yesterday and had a blast! We saw the monkey's (her favorite) and rode on the monorail to see tons of other animals. She really liked it!! The best part of the day by far was riding the camel! I could not believe that she got to ride the camel all by herself and she was not scared at all! She loved it! Of course I got tons of pictures...here are a few!

"Viking Ship"

This winter I bought Stella the coolest outdoor toy. Thru the cold and snow it has been hiding next to the garage until this beautiful weather showed up and my dad and I decided to put it up! It is sooooooo cute! It did not take too long to put together and Stella loves it. For some reason she calls it her Viking Ship and I just think that is hilarious. It does have a part that kind of looks like a ship so I guess that is where that comes from...to funny.

Trip to Red River

This past week we went to Red River to take Stella skiing for the first time. The first day did not go so well. We had got her boots a little too small and she did not want anything to do with them. Finally we got her the right boots and she was a skiing machine! The first day she just skied on one ski, and then the second day she moved to too ski's! The weather was great...not too cold so it was really nice. The sun was shining and it really helped Stella since she was not too cold at all! She had the best ski instructor ever named Angel. Stella really liked her and she was so patient and wonderful with Stella! We were sooooo lucky! By the end of the second day Stella was skiing super fast on two ski's and loving it! We had soooooo much fun!

Stella's Mask

Stella is hilarious. She loves putting her underwear on her head and saying it is her mask like she is a super hero. Apparently I used to do the same thing when I was little so I guess like mother like daughter.

Stella's Actual Birthday at Chuck E Cheese

For Stella's actual birthday we went to Chuck E Cheese with her best friend Katelyn to celebrate! It was so much fun....we played games and ate cupcakes and opened presents. It was a blast. Stella got a Rapunzel (her favorite) dress and insisted upon wearing it the rest of the night while she played games. Stella and Katelyn got pretty good at skee ball and really had so much fun! Stella also got a great comfy chair from Mimi and Papa that she loves!!

Stella's Third Birthday

Sorry it has taken me so long to post this!! It has been crazy around here. Stella had a blast at her third birthday party. We had it at Pump It Up which is a indoor bouncy house place! Stella loved jumping around and really loved the huge slide that she would climb up and then slide down. She was a little scared of it at first but once she went down she was hooked and went down like 30 times! Then we had yummy pizza and cake and celebrated with all of her friends. It was so much fun!!

Snow Day! Finally

Well we have been stuck in the house for 4 days now....but we have not had snow on our snow days until today! Just a lot of scary ice:) But at least today we could go outside and play in the snow!! Stella had a lot more fun than last year (she just stood there last year and did not know what to do) this year she ran around and wanted to make snow balls and loved it! We tried to make a snow man but the snow is just too wet still and still falling! 7 inches so far! So crazy:)....and then it is supposed to be 60 this weekend. Texas weather for you!

Stella and Papa at the Aquarium

Papa and Mommy took Stella to the Aquarium the other weekend and it was a blast. She is in a "dress up" kick and so she had to wear her dress up clothes on top of her normal clothes to the Aquarium...it was too funny. She loved looking at the big fish and birds...it was lots of fun. Stella loves hanging out with her Papa
