Happy 4th of July!

Swim Lessons

 I am NOT happy about swim lessons.... Mommy keeps dropping me off places and leaving me and I don't like it one bit! Yesterday was my 1st day of swim lessons at Hammond's Swim School. My teacher's name is Amber and she is really sweet. 1 day down....9 to go!

 After swim lessons and my good report, Mommy took me out for my 1st Happy Meal at McDonalds! I guess the swim lessons were worth it!

 I decided we all needed to be nude this morning! I got in big trouble shortly after this picture was taken when I went and peed on the couch!

 Mimi, Mommy, and I made homemade popsicles today! We made strawberry banana and I got to be the stirrer! "Nummy"!

 No falling asleep during Barney, Opa!

 Swinging with Uncle Ry Ry and Auntie Jan!

 My BFF Billy! Everyday I go next door looking for "Bee" to come play with me!

 Cousin Addyson came over to my house to play! We had lots of fun playing with umbrellas, dancing, and being silly!

Faster Addy, faster! Choo Choo!

Catching Up With Stella

 Mommy and I took Papa out to lunch at Superior Dairy as a Father's Day treat! All MY idea! I ate half of Mommy's sandwich and half of Papa's sandwich..and some of their chocolate chip milkshake. What can I say? I'm a growing girl!

 Look at me! Big girl booster seat, big girl sippy cup, and a big girl plate!

 Future cat lady!

 Playing with cousin Addyson! We always have fun together!

 Mimi came to watch me at gymnastics last week! I showed her all that I have learned. She saw my famous Star Jump, Donkey kick, and Pickle Roll!

 I get better and better each week!

Favorite part of gymnastics......the Stamp at the end!

1st Day of School (Kinda)

I got to spend the morning with my Nana in her classroom! I had so much fun! All the kids loved me...and I didn't mind all the attention either. We sang songs, made popcorn, and played outside for recess.

 It was my idea to hula hoop! I think mine may be too big?

 Me and Nana swinging outside. I am such a big girl!

 Hanging out with my new friends!

All the kids wanted to hangout and help me with anything I needed. They were really cool kids.. I can't wait to see them again next year!

 I sure like this school thing. Preschool...here I come!

Being silly with my new friends. They sure know how to make me laugh!

 Harlow and I love our Papa!

 Me and my friend taking a water break at gymnastics! What a work-out!

 Bed time stories......

 My cousins Luke and Alyse Polder came over to swim with me the other day! We had so much fun! We are all pretty silly when we play together. I sure like living close to my family.

 

Alyse and I both start swim lessons this month. We are practicing our "kicking".

The Weekend

Today was my 1st day of Sunday School back in Lemoore. I was in "Noah's Nursery"... Mama and Nana snuck me into the 2 & 3 year old room today because it looked like more fun for me. I don't know about this lying in church thing..... I sure did have fun though!

Here are some pictures from my weekend!

 I made Papa watch Barney with me! He must really love me....

 Look what my Nana got for me! A bike buggy! She took me on a bike ride this morning and I loved every minute of it. I feel like such a big girl now!

 Me and Papa relaxing on the golf course. I help him walk the doggies every evening.

I am such a big helper.. I'm in charge of the leashes and even throw the tennis ball for the dogs! What would Papa do without me?

Little Gymnast

 I started gymnastics last Wednesday! I'm in the "Tiny Tots" class. I had a lot of fun! We did things like stretching, somersaults, trampoline, balance beam, rock wall, monkey bars, and hula hoop! I am very talented in all these areas but there's one thing I need to work on....waiting my turn in line!

 I take gymnastics very seriously!

 This is my kitty Smokey. I always make sure he has food and water and give him lots of lovin'! I am definitely a cat lover.

Nana taking me for a spin around the cul de sac!

Hello California!

I have just been so busy! Every day I have new things to do and people to see! Everybody wants their Stella time..and I don't blame them..I'm pretty fun! I am learning new words everyday and always up to something. My favorite activities since being home include swimming, playing with my new puppy Harlow, talking on the phone, feeding sheep, playing in my new bounce house at Nana's, and picking Papa's lemons and apples!

 Here is my new puppy Harlow aka "No Harlow"..she is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi!

 We are two peas in a pod!

 She always likes to play with me.... we love running around Mimi and Papa's backyard!

 She is always there to watch me...even if I give her a headache!

We love snuggling on the couch for my evening "ba ba" (bottle).

 Who needs a swimsuit when you have this girlish figure?! I start swim lessons next month at Hammond Swim School! Swimsuits are required.

 4 Generations- Mother's Day!

 Aunt Jenna gave me my 1st Mt. Dew! Big points with me!

 Aunt Allison and I always make a Superior Dairy run when she's in town! It's tradition!

 Pool party next door! I sure love living close to family.. always something to do!

Grocery shopping with Mama! I always have to bring my baby..I'm a good Mama too!
