We took our first trip with Stella to Idaho Falls a couple weeks ago. She hates the car ride, so I usually have to feed her a ton so she'll sleep through it, and she did.
While we were there we stayed at Grandma and Grandpa Parkers house in Rigby. And Great Grandpa and MeMa were there visiting too. Below is a four generation shot of MeMa, Lori, Julia and of course the star... Stella MeMa and Grandpa (Great Grandparents)

We also stayed in Idaho Falls at Grandma and Grandpa Lugo's house.
Aunt Jessy and Stella


Grandpa Lugo who is famous for his songs that he makes for all his grandchildren.
Stella's song goes a little something like this:
"Stella, Stella, she says grandpa your my fella. Stella, Stella she says grandma your so swella.
As we all walk along, she is there singing a song. Stella, Stella, we all love our baby Stella."

Grandma Lugo was so excited to see Stella, she ran outside, grabbed the car seat from daddy and ran back inside leaving mommy and daddy locked out. =)

This last weekend was Halloween and also Grandma Sarah (now Smith) got married to Steve. So there were lots of people Stella met for the first time.

Stella was a U of Michigan cheerleader. Great Grandpa sent her the outfit when she was born, he's a big fan

Sarah and Steve were married November 1st, here's some pics from the reception
Here's the new combined familyDaddy's favorite dancing partner, StellaBy the end of the day she was pritty tired

David found some beautiful leaves behind the church that we thought would make for some good pictures. The second I laid her down she started screaming, when I picked her back up the back of her head and dress were soaked.... I'd be screaming too if I had to lay in cold water... oops!

Here are a bunch of pictures of Stella being her cute little self

After her bath

The first snow of the year.. she didn't take it too well

But with the first snow, we had to go snowboarding of course, so we bundled her up and went to the park. She slept all snuggly the whole time.

This dress is a very special dress. Stella's Fairy Godmother, Erin sent it to her. Erin's son Zander, and Stella have already been decided for each other in an arranged marriage. =) j/k

Fingers and Toes

Mommy's all time favorites, they're so silly always making me laugh

This is the picture of the month. Two cute cousins. Addison or "Addy" is about 4 months old and Stella is about 2. This was there first time meeting.

That's my Stella! She's getting so big. And (sorry Julia) I think she looks just like Davey. But, as long as I'm the favorite Aunt, everything's good! :)
