What's Been Happening

I know it's been a couple months since my last post. What can I say, I've been living and loving life. 2013 ended with such amazing opportunities and blessings, new job, Stella is blossoming into a full fledged toddler, just so much is going on. Now it's a new year and I can't wait to see what God has in store for my little family. Maybe a sibling for Stella? Who knows! All I know is I'm going to be 33...eek! I can't believe I just typed that. It's like he who shall not be named (for you non Harry Potter fans out there it's Voldermort) it's something we don't speak of. But I know I'm getting older and the fever is upon us...baby fever that is. :) Plus, I always thought I'd have three. I come from three and I have loved every fun, loving, hair pulling, sleepless nights, laughing fits, how did that booger get on me, wouldn't trade it for the world moments with Stella...I just can't wait to see what other little people can come from Clint and I. Next time around all I'm asking for is dark hair. I don't need a mini me just something to show that I'm not the nanny...I feel like my genes didn't even show up to the party with Stella. I jest but all that really matters is that they're healthy.

Something else that 2014 has started, my weight loss journey. I've been taking Plexus Slim for about 3 1/2 weeks and I gotta tell ya I feel amazing. The pink drink is the real deal and I've lost 7 pounds! Not too shabby. I want to be healthier and more active not only for Stella but for myself. Not to mention it's supposed to help lower cholesterol, which I'm borderline high, and a whole lot of other health benefits. What can I say...I drank the Koolaid (literally), I'm a believer.

 

 Christmas at Clint's Paw Paw's house.

 Playing with her baby doll from Nana.

 I had a photo album made for all the grandparent with pictures and milestones from Stella's first year. I love me some Snapfish.

 Playing with her mail box. Clint thought this was an odd gift but it teachers her shapes with the different sizes of letters.

 Christmas at my parent's house, having fun with her cousins.

 Ready for Christmas!

 Christmas outfit for school.

 Big girl reading her book before bed.

 Pig tails!

 Fast asleep. This is why I don't mind her being in our room. Her sweet face is the last thing I see before I go to bed at night and the first thing I see when I wake up in the morning.If I was going to hash tag anything it would be #blessed.

 The stroller was for her baby doll but she thinks it's really for her.
I'm surprised she hasn't broken it by now.

 Cheese!

 Sweet girl.

Baby yoga!

Max always makes her laugh. These two are thick as thieves, even though she mostly just terrorizes him. He's a good sport.

 Girl is too cool in her leather jacket and high tops.
I can't take credit for this. This is all Clint's doing.

 She's a ballerina cowgirl. Clint's mom took these and I love them.
It's giving me ideas for her 2 year old photo shoot.

 This was at the Rainforest Cafe, FYI Stella does not like it when it thunders and the animals come to life. She spent most of the dinner in Clint's lap. I feel bad but I really thought she'd like it. :(

Playing at Gidda's.

Having fun at Kaitlyn's 5th birthday party.
