Princess with her Purse

Check out her new purse from Joanne and Paul...she is wearing her Princess headband from them too!! She is going to LOVE that purse so much when she gets a little bit older...I wonder what she will put in it???? 

Ladies Who Lunch

We enjoyed lunch outside today. We had to get fueled up for our long walk, and feeding the ducks....read on. Aunt Alicia was with us too...she took the picture! 

Feeding the Ducks

We took a long leisurely walk this afternoon around Aunt Alicia's neighboorhood. There is a lake, with a big fountain, and bike/walking paths. There are always hundreds of ducks running around waiting for people to stop and feed them. Trust me, they are well fed ducks. We had such a great time. The ducks fight with each other over the bread, and we saw a big duck fight between 3 of them, we thought two of them was killing one.....we were pretty worked up, it looked like they were drowning him. We love all animals so much that we were screaming for them to STOP. They finally did, and we fed them more!!! The weather has been so beautiful, we try to be out as much as possible, before it gets too hot....thats right around the corner.
 

Sassy & Rocky

While out running somes errands today, we ran into some adorable yorkies...named Sassy, and Rocky. Stella loved the puppies, so I asked if I could take a picture of them to add to our blog...their owner was a little old lady who wore big HUGE bright red glasses, she was so sweet. She was thrilled for me to take their picture, and of course she thought Blu was just adorable!! 

Stellas Famous pose

She sits so nice in her rocking chair for pictures for the blog. This outfit is super cute...she wore it to the gym with me, and then to run some errands. She loves wearing her little shoes, and they help keep her socks on... 

Alicia and Stella

Stella is wearing her new headband from Joanne and Paul...it has a princess crown on it. Alicia looks really good with a baby. I think she should have one. Aunt Alicia loves to take Blu shopping to Fashion Square, she has real good taste for baby clothes!! 

Jason Engeberg

Meet my cousin Jason. He lives in Kenmare ND. It is -5 degrees right now in good ol Kenmare!! Home of the Honkers. I haven't been there to visit in such a long time...hopefully we will be able to bring Stella sometime. Jason is wearing his cool snowmobile outfit in this picture!!

Baptism Day

2/26/2006!!! What a beautiful day. Grammie Cindy, Aunt Alicia, Uncle Mike, Uncle Nick, Joanne and Paul, and Nathan helped us celebrate!! We ate a fantastic lunch out on the patio by the pool...compliments of Grammie..of course. She is the greatest cook, and remember for all your catering/personal chefing needs call Cindy at 218-863-6466!!!  

Our Angel

Stella Blu wore the Baptismal gown that Alicia, and I wore. My Grandma Busha made it from an old dress of hers...how sweet is that. Busha also made her bonnet, and when Stella gets married Busha wants us to snip the sides and it will be a hanky to catch her tears, and that is exactly what we will do..

Pouring of the water

Stella LOVED being Baptized...she needed some cool water on her head bacause the church was 100 degrees!! She loves her baths, so I knew she would not make a peep. Her Godparents are looking on. God Bless Stella Blu! 

Just Me

Just had to throw in a single shot of me after Bapitsm. Lookin' pretty darn good for just havin' a baby!! (Kidding) 

Chillin'

Stella and Nick are just chillin after church. Stella loves church, she actually sleeps through church!!ha ha 

Aunt Alicia & Uncle Mike

They have to have a baby soon!!! Stella wants a cousin to play with, and boss around! I know Alicia and Mike can't get enough of Blu, since they usually hog her when they are around!! 

Grammie and Stella

I love this picture. Stella is holding Grammies hand, and she is wearing the string of Pearls that Grammie and Grampie Pullen bought for her. Grammie is going to babysit Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I have to go to Jury Duty on Thursday, and then I am officially back to work on Friday.... 

Joanne & Paul

Joanne and Paul look amazing in this picture...they are the cutest couple in Scottsdale!! They came to Stellas baptism today, which was so thoughtful of them. We love hanging out with Paul and Joanne, they are so much fun. They also love Stella so much, and might even babysit in a couple weeks!!

Willy & Rachel

Will and Rach were just taking a nap. They cuddle with each other whenever they can..which means all day!! We've had the cats almost 7 years now. They are really good cats. Really FAT cats too!! 

Papa

Papa and Stella catchin some zzzzz's after a long day of work... Man I love her, Papa...

Stella Blu

I could take pictures of Blu all day long, and she is so content in front of the camera!! This diaper cover is her Dad's, he received it from his grandpa years, and years ago. About 30 years ago, if your wondering!! They are just a bit big, but will surely fit like a glove soon. Stella is wearing her size "6 month" clothes, she is not even 3 months old....she LOVES milk!!She sure is growing up fast, everyday is so exciting. She coos, and smiles, and gets very excited when she sees her dad and I!! She likes to cuddle with us in the morning and that is when she is the happiest, lots and lots of smiles, and coos. Time really does go by fast, now I know what my parents were talking about. We sure cherish every day with our little Stella Blu, can't imagine life without her.
Enjoy the pictures....more to come!!!!  

Grandma&Grandpa Berg

Stella was only a few weeks old when this picture was taken. Grandma&Grandpa Berg are coming to visit in March. I am sure they miss Stella tons. They are going to stay in their Condo for the first time. We can't wait to see them. 

Uncle Nick

This photo was taken the day Herbie fell in the pool. Stella has her pants hiked up really high!! She enjoys spending time with her Uncle Nick. He is going to teach her lots of stuff...he's a third grade teacher and super duper smart!! Nick stopped over tonight to see his niece, he calls her "precious". She sure is lucky to have so many people love her. 

Blu's Mugshot

This may look a little like a police mugshot....I assure it is NOT. My Blu is a perfect angel. We had another great day together. Coffee for Mom, Milk for Stella. We went to the gym for Mom to lose her extra baby weight, and Stella to play with the babies at daycare. Mom gets to watch Stella on TV from the treadmill...we love technology. Then off to Grammies for lunch. We are interviewing a gal tonight to be Stellas nanny, so Mom can get back to making people pretty a few days a week. We just talked to Grampy on the phone....love you Gramps!!!
