GOOOAAAAL!!!!!

We got to go to a Salt Lake Real soccer game last saturday. It was Stella's first game and she loved it too...well, mostly. It was a free game and we got to choose our seats. We were one of the first people there and David decided to get us seats right behind the goal. This was scarey during warm-up, soccer balls were flying everywhere, hitting everyone in the stand...also very funny. During the second half of the game, Real scored two goals on the goal closest to us and everyone stood up and started screaming, yelling and cheering and Stella's fun ended, she got so scared! Michelle was holding her and she dove into her arms and started bawling. Poor thing, scared her to death. Other than that she loved being outside. Before the game there was a small carnival and she loved looking at everyone and scoping everything out.

David and Steven got their pic taken with the guy that made the last goal. Steven said after he made the goal he looked up at him as he was running by and Steven, holding up "number 1", the guy saw him and did it back. Yes, the little things that get us excited.

Stella and MommyWe got our picture taken with the mascot during the carnival

Giggles

I love it when Stella giggles, something about the sweetness and the innosence. Luckily this time I caught her giggles on camera so I could show you all.... Enjoy!

In the snow

Here's another home made snowboarding video of David doing the rails. Notice I didn't take part in this one... I'll leave that to the pro's and just take pictures. Good job honey!

In case you wonder what we did with Stella....

The snow has been great this year. We had a chance to go night boarding at Powder Mountain about a half hour away from here, it was a fun date and the pow pow was amazing. Thanks Brad and Kacie for babysitting!!


We always get to see how cute Stella is during her bathtime but no one else does, so we thought we'd give you all a little taste.

She's such a sweetheart, she loves her bathtime, it's always her favorite part of the day.

Thank you Garley for the New Mexico Lobos shirt=)

Stella and Addie

Getting dressed with daddy

And yes, David's hair is staight, we had fun with a straightener one day=)

Saving the best for last, we don't know what exactly was happening at this point... we caught her doing something maybe? don't know, but we think its so funny.

Stella is growing so quickly, we're amazed at how smart she is too. She pulls her pacifier out of her mouth to play with it, then, when she gets bored she'll pop it back in. She's sitting up all by herself too, toppling over here and there and she still loves her 'stand up drop a toy, bend over, pick it up, stand up and drop it again' game. That game could go on for hours if our arms didn't get so tired. She adores the baby in the mirror and she's also a lot better about riding in the car. She loves eating her solids too, her favorite is still sweet potatoes although she'll eat what ever we put in her mouth. David and I teach CTR 7 and she loves to sing with the kids during singing time. She still sleeps all through the night, usually about 10 hours and when she wakes up she talks so sweetly in the monitor until I go in and get her, she waits with a huge smile. She giggles at random and also when we tickle her...anywhere. She loves her mommy but gets so excited when daddy gets home. She squeels and kicks her legs and smiles and smiles and smiles. In fact, that's all she ever does... our smiley baby.
