I use this blog as a journal and a scrap book for our family. It is so hard to keep up on all of the pictures we take, but this is the easiest way for me to do it. I print off a book in January of the previous year. Because I do this, I hate to leave out any pictures. As I was looking through the last few months of pictures I noticed I left out some pictures, so I am adding them in here.
I love this sweet picture. Stella is a cuddly baby. She falls asleep on shoulders, and likes to be held. Both of my kids have liked being held by my dad. I think it is because he is always warm and has big shoulders to lay on and big hands that hold them. They feel secure and safe.
We got tickets to go to the Brigham City Temple open house a couple of months ago. Even though Drake would not remember it, I still wanted him to come see the temple so he knew what we were talking about when we said we were going there. We went to dinner at Maddox and then headed over to the open house. Well when we got there it was already like 8:00 p.m. and they told us that it was going to be a 2 hour wait just to get in to the temple. That wasn't going to to work with our two little kids so we had to leave and didn't get the chance to see it. We were pretty bummed, but it just gives us more of a reason to go over and do a session.
Stella is always happy. She only cries when she really needs something. I just love this little girl. She makes me smile and laugh every day!
I love witnessing little moments like this. I walked into my room to find them watching a show together. Drake could have sat on the chair and watched it all by himself and Stella would have never known or cared, but instead he put it on the floor so she could see and laid by her. It made me such a proud mommy!
Lauren went to the Homecoming dance a few months ago. Every time she has gone to a dance I get to help her get ready by doing her makeup and helping her with her hair. It is so fun! I enjoy the time I get to spend time with her. I just can't wait for the time I get to do this on her wedding day!!
Watching cartoons together while mommy makes dinner.
And then eating that yummy dinner!
Drake is so good to Stella. He always tells her that she is cute and says hi to her and gets her toys to play with. Stella absolutely ADORES Drake. She smiles every time she sees him and starts to yell when she hears his voice! Drake was the only person that could get her to laugh for a long time.
My friend Nikki and I have been sewing some stuff for our girls. One time when they came over the only way we could get anything done was to strap them down and put on a show!
Josh brought this little toy home for Stella from one of his business trips. I just think this picture is cute!
On the way home from Pocatello late one night both kids fell asleep. It was heaven to ride in a silent car!
We still have two kids in diapers!! It is awful! At the rate we are going, Drake is never going to be potty trained!
Because of Stella getting so much attention, it has made Drake think that being a baby is a good thing. He sometimes wants to be swaddled and rocked. He laughs and acts like it is a joke, but deep down he really wants this at times. That is why I am happy to play along, cause secretly I love it too!
