Easter 2010

We had a wonderful Easter celebrating the resurrection of

our Savior Jesus Christ! It's such an awesome feeling to

know HE IS RISEN!!

We went to church Sunday at Providence and heard a great

sermon given by Shawn!

Here are a few pics before the service

Saturday we were going to go to the Gastoph Easter Egg

hunt, but it was raining so they had "meet the Easter bunny"

inside. Alli Jo did not want to go near him...but Grady (my

nephew) loved him!

Here are the kiddos getting ready for the Robinson annual

egg hunt! So much fun!

Hi Hi, Hi Ho. It's off to work I go..........

Yep, you read it right...I'm back to work =(

I started back April 1st, and no it wasn't a joke haha!

It was very difficult to leave my babies, I've become

really attached these last 11 weeks! Yes, Stella is

11 weeks old...can you believe it? WOW time is flying now!

Here are the two weeks before that I forgot to post

Work is going ok, not too bad. I know my prayers are working

b/c I feel God with me while I'm there. I come home on lunch

to see Alli Jo and Stella (Hunter's in school). Stella is always

grinning that toothless grin and Alli Jo is always hanging on

my leg, not wanting me to leave =(

God has a plan, and I'm sure there's a reason I am not staying
home right now. I trust Him!

56 days

Look who's 8 weeks already!!!

It's hard to believe it's been 2 mos already! Goodness

time flies when you're havin fun =)

This week we had some great weather, so when the weather

warms up people get out of the house!!

We were lucky to have some great friends stop by.....

our neighborhood of girls!!

Yes, we have ALL girls down our lane!

Hunter and Gracie were in school =)

Maeli, Alli & Stella, Akaysha and Nataya, Izabelle

49 days

I forgot to post another milestone for Miss

Stella --her first bottle!! Given by daddy

on Feb 14, 2010 =) She did great! We

had to practice b/c mommy and daddy went

on a date, hee hee!

One of her big smiles caught with my cell phone

Having a girls day...getting a mani and a pedi

Goodness, these days are just passing by faster and
faster each week! Stella Bell (that's her nickname)

is now 7 weeks old!!

Friday she had her 2mo doctor well visit.

She did very well!

She is now 11lbs 5oz and 22.5 in long

(at birth she was 6lbs 12oz 19.5in long)

I was a little worried that she may be "too big"

but doctor says not to ever worry when she is

on breast milk....when they're on solid food it's

more of a concern. She said some babies are

just little porkers (my words LOL).

So she has another nickname --Chunky Monkey =)

Check out my thighs!!

42 Days

I am a week behind in blogging, but Miss Stella

turned 6 weeks last week =( Can you believe it??

1 1/2 mos already!!!

Miss thing continues to smile her little toothless

grin daily! I love it!!

No other big milestones for Stella this week, but

mommy finally got her announcements sent out!

Also this month mommy is returning to photography

again! So if you're wanting to book something,

let me know....I'm booking up fast!

I returm to my full time job April 1st =(

Day 35

WOW 5 weeks already!

Last Wednesday Miss thing turned 5 weeks old!!

As if I didn't need to bring out my camera before....Stella

reached a BIG milestone and started to smile and coo

for REAL!

The more I talked to her the more the smiles came =)

It just melts my heart to look down and see her toothless

grin, grinning from ear to ear! I can be sleep-deprived to

the fullest and seeing her smile at me just makes it all

worth it!

Stella is still nursing every 3-4 hours. In the middle of the

night it's 3 hrs on the DOT! It's like she has a little alarm

clock going off! I'm looking forward to the long stretches

between feedings =)

We have been enjoying all of our days home together!

Hunter has been at school durning the week, but Alli Jo,

Stella and I have have been having a blast. If we're not

doing photo shoots (haha) we are reading or listening to music,

and recently "school" with Alli Jo. I have started to teach her

how to write her letters. She can already write her name, CAT,

and MOM. Along with the letters A,B,C,D,E so far =) It's so

amazing how fast she learns!

I will leave you with a few pics of Alli Jo...that is if you even

recognize her LOL
