Stella Grace turns 8 Months Old

Look Who's Standing Now

All of a sudden, baby girl can pull herself up to standing! She's loving her new play table too. I'm thinking our weekend project is to get those baby gates installed...

PS. Thank you Cheryl for the sweet outfit from England, her first present ever! Everyone was excited when we found out I was having a girl, and on her vacation Cheryl decided she needed something pink!

Hugs Across America

Just thought I'd share the cutest card my Dad and Pat sent for the boys' birthdays--they traced themselves to send them hugs! Love it! Braden was able to read every word on the card out loud and check out his toothless grin...top tooth lost on Saturday :)

Go Vipers!

Couldn't have picked a better team for Braden, his team name is the Vipers (coincidentally the nickname of the F-16 Scott flies). It's with the Upwards organization, a christian organization which promotes Christian values as well as teamwork. Going to be a great season!

Soccer Season has Started

Braden is in the darker blue---his orange jersey is arriving soon. LOVED his first practice!

Seven Months Old

We now have a crawler, a sitter, and a very good eater! At Stella's 6 month check up a few weeks ago she was 15.6 lbs and 29 inches long---continues to be around the 35 percentile which is perfect. Now that school has started for the boys it's just me and this little love bug during the week days :)

1st Day of School

A little encouragement and reminders while waiting for the bus :)

And they're off!

Home with smiles after a great first day!

Carter's Surprise Birthday Party

So very cool of the Adams and Seigfrieds to do an alligator birthday party for Carter while we up for Labor Day! Very thoughtful and you can tell Carter loved it!

Stella Meets the Adams Family

So happy to finally introduce Stella to her wonderful Aunt Amy, Uncle Casey, and Cousins Zach, Jake and Ben...lucky girl!

Aunt Carol and Uncle Bobby drove down for the occasion too---as you can see, Stella loves Aunt Carol!

7th Birthday Party

Can't believe my baby is 7! Happy birthday to my favorite 7 year old! Fun party at the pool!

Boogie Boarding at Huntington

Beautiful day for the beach...and apparently Braden can't get enough of it! Love to see him having so much fun with his Uncle Dave!

Super Heroes!

My soon-to-be sister-in-law MADE these capes for the boys...how cool is that?!? So awesome of her!

6 Months Old!!!

My gorgeous nephew and my daughter turned 6 months while we were in California...so, a picture together was a must!

California Pool Time

Spent a lot of time our first week in California playing by their pool with Michelle and her family, this time it was just the kids and I to give Michelle a break (she had to take her baby to the doctor because she was having breathing issues). Baby seems OK now, but I think time away might be just what the doctor ordered for my friend!

Tattooed Love

My awesome Step-Mom Pat has decided to tattoo the initials of all her grandchildren--so super cool to see Stella and William (Billy) were added to the mix with Braden and Carter!
