Stella's baby

Stella has a new favorite toy! It is the cutest little catapillar, a little big for her, but she loves it! She digs her head into it and smiles everytime she sees it!

Through the Looking Glass

When we moved to this house we soon noticed that Cardinals love to sit near our bay window. I always loved this because my great-grandma loved these birds, so every time I see one I think of the good memories I have with her. I love and miss you Mamal. Here is some pics I took through the window at our little guests!

Growing Up!

Change is all around us. I was going through some photos and could help but notice how fast our babies change! They grow up right before your eyes, without you even realizing it!! Enjoy it while you can, before you know it they will be grown!

Mason...

Stella...

Field Trip!

Yesterday we took a field trip to Entertrainment Junction. This time Mason got to bring his 2 best friends. He brought his cousin, Ellie, and his buddy from my daycare, Ethan. They had a great time....here are some pics!

Yummy....messy...snacks!

Stella has fallen in love with the messiest snacks!! Cheetos! They leave her looking orange with yucky orange hands! What do ya do? I guess...just let her get messy!

Funny faces!

Kids make the funniest faces.....

Trip to the Mall

Today we took a trip to the local mall...This is what we accomplished!

Now she has her ears pierced! Too cute!

And here is what Mason did at the Mall

Our little Model!

So we just got a new camera yesterday, and we have quickly discovered that Stella is a little model. Every time we go to take her picture she gets this cute little grin on her face and wrinkles up her nose! She is too cute!

Potty = Train place

Mason's favorite things are trains, any kind of trains! When we started potty training him we told him that if he filled his chart with "stars" everytime he went to the potty then his reward would be to go to the local train attraction.

This place is awesome. It is the largest indoor train display in the United States....he loves it. They also have many Thomas and Friends activities and a huge playroom for the kids to play in for hours!

Guess what Mason filled up his potty chart, so here was his reward!

Ps. Stella loves it too!

Baby...It's cold outside!!

This time last year we had to carry Mason everywhere because he really didn't like snow. I guess he has now had a change of heart! Here is him playing with his cousin Sami...

Splish Splash.....taking a bath!

Now that Stella is older she gets to spend more time with her bubby! She especially loves the fun times that they have in the bath tub. One thing that she doesnt like is when her brother insists on pouring water on her head!!

Sleepy heads!

Our kids are definately the best things that have ever happen to us. They bring so many good & fun times and truly just light up our lives! Even though they are so adorable some of the best times are when they are sleeping. They just look so innocent...like sleeping angels! What do you think?

Be greatful!

Sometimes it might take a time like a world in turmoil, and an economic crisis....to stop and think what you are truly greatful for! In these hard times it is hard not to stress about paying the bills, wondering if you are going to have a job tomorrow, and wondering if you are going to have money for diapers this week. We should all sit down and think.......

What are we greatful for??

My babies!

My wonderful Hubby!

Fun times in the tub!

Fun times...bothering her bubby!

So when you are feeling too stressed out...just remember what your greatful for!

The Holidays!

Wow! The holiday season went so fast, that here is are already in January. Things are our house have been hectic, but we are finding a way to get through it! Christmas was great this year. Mason is now at the age where he enjoyed opening every gift! Stella would sit and watch him and try to tear the paper off. Once she got a piece tore off it went straight to her mouth! hehe

Here are some pics!
