Popcorn popping....

Hooray!! Spring is here! This is the tree outside of our bedroom window. Just a little reminder that winter is drawing an end and warmer weather really is on its way. David and I have gone out to play soccer a few times, just the two of us kicking around, nothing official. We take Stella with us and put her out on the lawn and she LOVES being outside! She'll play on her own or follow the ball with her eyes. Usually she has a perma-grin.

She has also graduated into the 'big tub'. The transition was easy, she didn't seem to have a problem, in fact the baths last longer and she can fit more toys in with her. I like to teach her how to splash... maybe I'll regret it someday but right now I think it's cute.

Davids mission companion Jesse Garley came up for General Conference and spent a night with us. It was so good to see him, you are welcome here any time Jesse!!

Stella warmed right up to him... or maybe it was his phone

So I finally finished Stella's crib bedding set. I know, I know, she's almost eight months old but It took a while to find the fabric I wanted and it took a while to sew it and put it all together. So I made the bumper pads which have cute little scooters on them, and I made her baby duvet cover with little bird fabric.

Here's a closer view...

I was going to make her sheet too, but it was cheaper to just buy it =p

So here's my favorite video of Stella laughing. I don't think she's ever laughed this hard. This is one of those times we went to the park to play soccer, I sat down to prepare her bottle and a mosquito kept landing on my face so I started shaking my head and tried to blow it off... well... this was what followed.
