Happy Birthday David

It's David's birthday today and I can't tell you how blessed Stella and I are to have him in our lives. When I first met him and we fell in love I didn't think it was possible to love anyone any deeper, well, over the past 9 years I was proven wrong. I love to tell his success stories on how he's done so well in school and is going on for his masters. I love to tell how he soared at work and was honored to travel to Canada and Puerto Rico to fix radars at those sites. But I'd also like to tell you the trates he's too humble to admit himself. He's always reaching for goals, in fact he's got a long list of them and keeps track. He's also very supportive of my goals, in fact he's helping one of them become a reality very soon and has been very understanding in making it happen. But in the last nine years, I've come to see something that I just discovered in the past year, and that is just how much love he has for our baby girl. No one can make her laugh like he can, no one can calm her down like he can, and I have never seen her attatched to anyone like she is attatched with her daddy. David has spent a lot of time and energy on our new little family, always looking at how he can help me out and learning the ropes right along side me. With him, I feel like we can get through everything. I'm glad we're still young and have everything ahead of us. I love you Davey, I love everything you are and everything you're striving to become.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Just a little taste of our laughter. He's always making fun of my towel head in the morning, so one evening after we got Stella out of the tub and I was making her bottle, both daddy and Stella were laughing, I turned around and this is what I saw.

The ABC's

A is for Anniversary....
August 18th, David and I shared our 4th Anniversary! Marie came to babysit while David and I went to Park City and rode the zip lines. I was so scared at first, just from being afraid of heights, but it was so fun! We stayed and watched people take their ski's off of jumps and into the pool doing back flips and other tricks. That was really fun to see, in fact, David wants to take the class so he can take his board of the olympic jumps and into the pool too. After that we went to Wasabi for all you can eat sushi. My Favorite!! Then with full bellies we walked around Liberty Park. It was a great anniversary honey, thank you & I love you!


He even bought me roses! Those of you who know David really well, will know how suprised I was to receive roses, thanks love!
B is for Birthdays....
Saturday August 29th Stella's 1st and my 27th birthday!
I made Stella's cake, David made my cake and we both made plenty of food.
She couldn't figure out what to do with it at first. In fact she was a little nervous with everyone watching her and camera's pointing at her. But as you'll soon see, she figured it out eventually.



Stella's sippy cup, the final topper

The best part about the cake was after she made her mess, "David, she's all done and It's my birthday too, so you get to clean her up!" Ha Ha!

Our family


Our neighbors, friends and Stella's play pal, Coasten, Nate and Shana


Pam with her mom and three kids

This is what David gave me for my birthday, a bike trailer/stroller. So far Stella and I have put it to good use. I absolutely love it!
Thank you everyone for making our birthday's so special! We are so blessed to have friends and family like you!!
C is for Camping...
David had a family reunion at camp Bartlett over the Labor day weekend. We camped out in a tent for 3 nights and Stella did great! I'm coming to find out she doesn't mind adventures like these because she loves anything new and she loves the outdoors. I should have taken more pics of the family and scenery, but I did get some cute shots of her holding still for once! I'm not into feeding her too much sugar, but I gave her a lolly pop and had to capture her cuteness.


Sharing with daddy

Want some???

She is getting cuter and cuter everyday. I LOVE this stage, she's so much fun and learning little bits at a time how to communicate. I just can't imagine our lives without her. She is the BEST.

I get nervous shooting guns, but they had a rifle range and I had to test it out too. This was David's dad's gun a 9mm. Yikes!!

Tuckered out on the way home. This is her new forward facing seat grandma Lolly gave her for her birthday. The first day we set her in and drove to church and back she giggled the whole way. She loves being able to watch more of whats going on with mommy and daddy.

Bent it half... her newest sleeping position.

She just started cuddling with this puppy I received ages ago. She snuggles it right before she falls asleep and cuddles it the whole night through.
