Day 17 Tues Aug 24


One of her favorite activities lately - dressing up her fairy paper dolls. She puts shoes, dresses, headbands or hats on them and sometimes even a hammer in their hands (why that was included in with the set of accessories...I don't know).

Day 16 Mon Aug 23




Back to Lifetime Pool with Faith, Gracie, and Scarlett to enjoy some more swimming and sunshine before summer is over. Here's a series of photos with Stella and Scarlett. They were talking about their toenail polish color, laughing at Remy, and having fun snacking. I think this is just the beginning of their girl talk...they are so cute together!

Day 15 Sun Aug 22


We had a great time today at Scarlett's 3rd birthday party..but I didn't take a single picture while we were there! Mark is reading Stella her new bunny book before bed.

Drinking a strawberries and cream smoothie on the way to Hub Hobby.

Day 6 Fri Aug 13



Changing her doll's diaper. Notice that she has on a pair of Remy's socks as "gloves" so she doesn't get any poop on her hands. (That's actually what she told me!)

Day 5 Thurs Aug 12


Brookie is pouring Stella some hot cocoa. Just what I would want in 90 degree weather!

Day 4 Wed Aug 11


Remy "Chunk Monster" Gabriel. He'll be 12 weeks old this Friday! And, our sheets are off of our bed because he decided to have an explosive diaper while laying on our bed this morning...it's always something!

Day 3 Tues Aug 10

Stella & I working out to Fit TV. It's just too hot to go outside with a baby!

Last day of the rummage sale! Stella is doing some art work while she waits for more customers.

Day 358 Sat July 31


We participated in the neighborhood garage sale. Stella was busy interrogating every person that stopped by..."what's your name, what you lookin' at, look at my shirt, you want to color with me, I'm a baseball player......."

Remy had his 2 month check up today. He weighs 13#9oz and is 24 1/4" long. That puts him on the 90th percentile for his height and weight. Wow!
Stella and her cousins, Gracie & Scarlett, coloring towards the end of the night. Scarlett is in only a pull-up because she HAD to fit in some coloring time before she got her PJ's on.

Day 353 Mon July 26


We found a great new restaurant close by called, The Buzz Coffee Shop and had awesome waffles for dinner. Mark had a bacon/brown sugar waffle, Stella had peanut butter/banana/honey waffle, and I had the S'mores one. Plus they had games to play while you waited. We'll definitely be back!

Day 352 Sun July 25


While the kids napped, we enjoyed watermelon lime margaritas! Great recipe from Cooking Light...Mark had the tequila and I subbed Fresca and it was still delicious!

Day 351 Sat July 24






Always feels good (afterward) to clean the garage! Stella had fun going through everything that we pulled outside. It was really hot out and she was such a good helper. In the pic above, she's enjoying a glass of Kool-Aid Fun Fizz...it was too sunny out to get a better shot at her first Kool-aid mustache and she also had it running down her neck and it soaked the front of her shirt. She kept saying it was yummy and good!

We celebrated Scarlett's 3rd birthday at Chuck E Cheese! Stella had a great time playing games, dancing, and turning in tickets for prizes (light up flashing bracelet, flower ring, and suckers!!) ...she was giving Chuck E high fives, too!

Day 350 Fri July 23



At 2 months old...Remy's doing a great job holding up his head and reaching for his toys hanging from his play mat.

Day 349 Thurs July 22



Going through our storage to get ready for our garage sale. I opened a bin of baby toys that I had packed away and Stella had a blast looking through it. The video starts out kind of slow, but Remy starts making some cute noises towards the end. (Again, I had the camera in some sort of weird mode - sorry!)

Day 348 Wed July 21


Cool dude...on the way to play with friend's at the splash pad!
