sunday night walks

since baby drake has come into our lives sundays have been long days for me and the kids, since we haven't been to church for awhile... we are planning to go back very soon.. by the time jereme gets home and we eat we are just ready to get out... stella had so much fun in her church dress with her rain boots.. of course she had to walk, no stroller for her, and stop to look at everything so it takes some time to get around the block...

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...
