lindsay's reception was at the richard nixon library and it was amazing... she was such a beautiful bride.... we had so much fun eating, talking, dancing.... it was such a fun fun night.. a night to remember always... we love you lindsay.... congrats to you and kyle....

lindsay's temple day

my little neice got married on friday in the newport beach temple.. it was such a beautiful day, the flowers were sooooo pretty....

palm springs

so we had such a fun time in palm springs.... the weather was perfect, not to hot... all the girls got together (we missed you zana) to get ready for a fun summer.... all the little girls have so much fun together... stella was such a fish, she loves the water.... oma and her totally bonded in the pool, about time....

bobsy twins

stella and tana are obsessed with whatever the other has.... they both love dora so much and run around in their dora pantys all day.... summer and i have to have 2 of anything or else there are major melt downs... we love our girls so much...

happy birthday stella

stella is 18 months old today.. yeah, nursery here we come... i can't believe how fast time has gone by... she is becoming such a little lady... we have so much fun everyday... we are best friends and i love her so much.... there is nothing like your first born.....

stella loves lady bugs

we went to the irvine spectrum to enjoy the beautiful weather and chloe found a friend... she found a lady bug and held on to it the entire time we were there.... during lunch at wahoos, riding the carousol, old navy it was hilarious... finally she let her friend play with stella and she was so intrigued... stella picked up the lady bug off the table and watched it crawl all over her.... it was so precious and of course tana wanted nothing to do with it... i think we figured out the lady bug couldn't fly...

aspen

so we went to aspen and had such a good time... we stayed at the st. regis which was amazing, 5 stars... we went with jereme's company and they took care of everything which was a dream.... we left our stella with her oma and untie leslie and she had such a blast.. thank you to them and all my sisters for watching my wild child... i missed her so much but this trip was much needed for jereme and i to hang out and just relax... they got alot of snow so jereme was quite happy on the slopes... i got to experience the spa which is my new favorite spa ever.... i got my first spa manicure and pedicure and it was definintly worth it.... so lots of good food, shopping, watching movies, and relaxing before my baby boy comes to join our family...

easter day

it was such a beautiful sunny easter day... we went to early church and got to see the weaver's there... stella has never been so excited to be at church... tana and her were going back and forth from seat to seat... we then went to my mom's for a great easter dinner and great conversation... we then went over to jereme's mom's house and had an egg hunt which was so fun... stella got most the eggs, she is very into easter eggs..

easter morning

so easter morning was so much fun.... stella had no idea that the easter bunny came to our house until she saw her basket... she just kept smiling and laughing... she showed me everything in her basket and carried her new purse around all day... i will never forget this special morning...

easter bunny

so we took stella to see the easter bunny and let's just say she wasn't a fan.... luckily we have a whole year until we try again...

fun beach day

my daughter is obsessed with diet coke..... we have a problem.....

doctors & lunch at the beach

so i had my 20 week ultra sound and it's official.... it's a boy and we are so excited.. he was such a little wiggle worm and didn't stop moving the whole time... i think we had a moment... it was such a beautiful day so we decided to have fun... we all piled in to summer's car and met up with my mom and sister down at the beach... we went to our favorite hole in the wall "great mex" for lunch, so yummy, best fish tacos ever... oma was entertaining the little girls while we ate, telling them monster stories.... tana was getting her nap in the car which was much needed.... we miss you zana and can't wait to see you soon...

merry go round

so stella has always been so scared of the merry go round, she would get this look of fear and freeze up.. it was funny but sad at the same time.. i would end up holding her most of the ride until recently... we went to irvine spectrum and i was waiting for the cry until i heard a weee, weee.... she love the merry go round, she didn't want anything to do with me... it was so precious and a moment i will never forget, she is growing up...

ms. monroe

sexy woman back then...sexy woman now...

arizona

my mom, stella and i came up to see zana here in peoria, arizona... we are having such a blast just kicking back talking, eating and laughing... we went to church, she has a huge ward but stella and i only made through the first hour... we all watched the oscars, kinda boring but had some good moments... zana's house is beautiful, i love it... it has a huge room called the "great room" which is so nice because it's very open and spacious... i love the way she decorated, i am very jealous, very fun pieces and lot's of color.. very anthropologie which we love... so zana had to work a shift today from 7 to 7 so we will just explore the town and hang out... stella had no toys so we had to go to target and get her some.. she got a new dora bus that she rides all day long... she loves her new surroundings, she explore every minute... i think zana gets a little nervous, i have to keep a close eye on her, she is very busy... ta ta for now...

stella loves her new jeans

so i am very special and just got stella her first pair of jeans..... she was always so tiny i didn't think any jeans would fit her but i guess all jeans have adjustable straps inside that i wasn't aware of.... so sad because they are so cute on her and her skinny body, she loves them too.... so i know it has been well over a month since my last post, i guess i needed a break, i was all blogged out but hopefully i am back... so much has been going on, i'm not sure where to start.... i'm sure everyone knows by now stella is going to be a big sister in july.... i'm 16 weeks pregnant now and still feel great... we had an appointment this past week and we were going to confirm that we are having a boy but his little legs were crossed so no confirmation, sad for us.... at our 11 week ultrasound the tech said she thought there was a penis but we will wait for another ultra sound to be sure.... either way we are just excited... it's sunday night and i just realized how tired i am so i promise i'm back on the blogging scene so until next time... ta ta for now....

jereme's 30th bday in park city

so jereme loves to be away on his birthday especially because it is so close to christmas, so this year we left our little stella and joined the silverthorne and the esecsons on a wonderful trip to the canyons in park city.... it was truly an amazing trip.... i love park city, the little town is so cute.. jereme had the best birthday, he got to snow board everyday in powder right out the back door... i loved getting away but i couldn't wait to get home to my little girl... she had such a fun time with her oma and all her cousins... thanks mom for all your help...

christmas 2007

stella has such a fun christmas.... she loved every minute of it... how cute is her holiday outfit.. so sad we didn't get any family photo's ...

knotts berryfarm 2007

so every year on christmas eve we go see santa at knotts... it usually is dead so we go in the park and go on rides... it is so much fun, my favorite family tradition.. we have been doing this for as long as i can remember... there was someone missing this year, the weavers and it just wasn't the same with out them.. luckly she only spends the holidays with her inlaws every 14 years so i won't have to worry about her absence again... miss stella did not like santa at all... luckily we got a cute family photo with him though.... until next year...

arizona

so sad my sister zana moved this weekend to arizona... we all wished her off this last thursday and it was a very sad day for us all... they packed up their whole lives and drove up to settle in peoria, arizona... my mom drove up with zana and they are having such a blast together, i don't like them having fun with out me... i can't wait to go and see her new life.. stella already misses her auntie and i miss her too... we will be up soon, i promise.. love you zana........

disneyland

chloe loves stella....

disneyland

so we had so much fun at disneyland with the shepard's.... stella and chloe loved the parade.. they sat together in the same stroller, shared a bag of pretzels and did not take their big eyes off the parade... it was so precious... we went on a few rides.. stella was scared to death of dumbo and chloe didn't love thunder mountain considering her dad told her she was going on thomas the train.. we finished the night off with fireworks and the snow on main street... dinseyland is truly magical....

stella big afro and big feet

stella had so much fun sitting in her car seat inside the house..... how funny is my precious daughter with her big hair...
