Just Keep Swimming

We had a rough start to the year with my appendectomy and sickness circling our family. We also took an unexpected trip back to Idaho Falls, my Grandma passed away. My brother and I were so thankful we spent time with her on Christmas and were able to see her one last time. I'm sure Stella has felt the walls in our small apartment get smaller more than we have from staying home and inside so much. So on saturday, since I'm feeling about 100% again and all of us are healthy, we decided to go to an indoor pool just a few blocks away from here. I was a little nervous of how she'd react since it's been such a long time from the last pool visit, but she was so excited!

Here's a little video of her mean daddy dunking her... haha, just kidding, she doesn't mind it, I think someday she'll swim faster than her daddy!



Um. So... how do I explain this one? Stella likes to stand in high places? She also likes to rappel? Don't worry grandparent's, she is safe :)

She is also learning how to do the dishes
and she loves it!!
This is why we had to get the poor girl out!!

Sledding Adventures

We were able to go sledding with David's sister and her family. The challenge was finding enough snow! We haven't had a lot of storms this year, so it was tough finding a good spot, but once we did, we had a blast.
I had a tough time with the layout for some reason, thus the lack of captions... but you get the idea anyway...
















Stella was tuckered out by the time we got her back in her seat, before we got on the road she was fast asleep.

Christmas at the Lugo's

We spent christmas in Idaho this year with my parents and loved it! We were able to spend a long weekend so Stella was really able to enjoy time with her grandma and papa Lugo and also lolly and papa Parker. I know this is late, but thanks family for a wonderful christmas!
This is a pic taken at our house... Stella loved playing with our nativity set, she'd squeeze inbetween the couch and the christmas tree to play with her little baby Jesus. It was priceless! I almost didn't want to take it down this year.
She didn't really get into the wrapping paper, this is a pic just to show you how delicate she was.
Mom and Tom's beautiful tree's and presents on christmas eve, and one happy baby with glow bracelet.
I think she loved her stocking the most
I made her this blanket for christmas... i love the way it turned out!
