Peace and Quiet.

Zoolights 2008.

Snapshots.

Should Alicia really be wearing a leopard fur coat to the zoo???

O.K..

Can we get at least one good shot at Zoolights?? Alicia was fiddeling with her glove, and the camera slipped...whatever!!

I said..."Say Cheese"

Good thing Alicia, Mike, and Chris were listening.

Chili for 10...Before Zoolights

9 years and counting.

Every single morning I have to lift my huge cat Willy up onto the bathroom counter so he can drink water out of the faucet...I am trying to make him jump up on his own. He won't.

If I wasn't 6 months pregnant, I would be having a nice big glass of wine right now....I am positive Tanya is at home doing exactly that. Playdates with two 3 year olds....Uff-da.

It's Official...

Stella Blu is a celebrity. My friend Lisa sent me a copy of the Fargo magazine "Area Women" and Stella is featured in it as a model for Ria Lee Photography!!! I am so excited!! Ria took Stella's pictures this last October and they all turned out so darn cute! Here she is hiding from the paparazzi! :)

Stella's 3rd Bday Bash.

We had a blast at Stella's party. We had chocolate shakes, french fries, pizza, her Dora cake, a pinata, her new swingset, her new pink jammin jeep, her favorite peeps Mac and Harry....lots of fun had by all!!!

And...

The Jammin Jeep was a Hit!! ( Christie bought this for Stella, She is the best babysitter Ever, and is Stella's BFF for sure!!)

Happy 3rd Birthday Stella!!

More pics to come...it is 7:30, and we are tucking it in!!

Swimming in December...

Why not? Grandpa Dennis's pool is heated...nice!

Adding her own accessories...

sunglasses, a necklace, a purse....

Dressing herself...

Big Big Girl...

Not only has Blu been potty trained (except for a pull-up at nap time and bed time) for one week. She is also solo at swimming lessons...Christie is in the bleachers watching our lil' Blu. She comes walking out holding hands with her class....she is really a great swimmer. I am so proud!!
