Flashback Friday

I was just reading up on Flashback Fridays and was sad to see that this will be the last week that Christopher and Tia host the event! I've unfortunately only joined up a few times... mostly because I forget, then realize when its too late... that's just how my brain works now. But today, I want to link up in honor of their last time hosting. This was one of the first fun blog hopping type events that I joined, many months ago, and I truly wish I had done more. So here is my flashback, circa 2004. Mexico with Brent and his parents. We had a wonderful time in Cancun and Tulum, and I really hope we can make it back there soon.

This was new years night, I could not believe how my camera captured this picture, and these fire dancers were incredible!

The cheesy bed pose, but this was a pretty sweet hotel room, it was a full circle! a totally round little condo!

My goodness we look young!!

On top of the tallest Myan ruin in the area, what a view!

Brent's parents on top of the ruin, Love the canopy views!

Sneak Peek!

Last week I took Stella for a special 3 month photo shoot with Nikki over at Nikki Hoover Photography (which we will affectionately refer to as NHP in all future discussions or posts :) ) I had wanted to surprise Brent with some special new pictures for his office for Father's Day, but cant decide which pictures to get, so I told him he could pick. We'll get them ordered and framed, and he can add some pictures of his beautiful daughter to all of the duck hunting and deer hunting photo's that line his wall at work. 

So what do you think? Isn't she growing so fast!! She's so adorable! and when she wasn't looking at the camera she was flirting back and forth with Nikki's youngest son, Weston, who had the most adorable smile and flirty wave for Stella whenever Nikki was trying to get her attention.

My Button....

So I was just checking things out to make sure everything on the blog worked and linked up properly... and figured out that my blog button doesnt work! I'm so sorry if you've tried to grab my button and were redirected to photobucket... when I first made it I tested it and had no problems... I'm not sure what happened when I must have published it. I think I fixed the problem and now have a working blog button that actually DOES redirect to A Snapshot of Our Life, YAY! So, feel free to grab my newly working button. And, if you display my button on your blog, please let me know so I can add your button on my blog love page :)

Thanks!!

3 Months and Growing!!!

Stella,

Today you are 3 months old!! You are growing so fast, and have changed so much in the past 13 weeks! You are such a happy girl now, smiling constantly at mommy and daddy, and even people you meet for the first time if you're in the mood. You squeal with pleasure when you see big smiles or when someone pay you special face to face attention. You are such a chatterbox!!! We sit and talk for hours throughout the day, and if we are distracted, you screech and let us know you were not done with our conversation. I have to admit, you make mommy laugh constantly throughout the day, with your many noises and faces you make, you're one hilarious baby girl. You've taken quite the leap on many levels over the last few weeks. You now wiggle and squirm your way all over the place, using your super strong legs to push yourself up and around on the carpet, daddy and I have to watch you carefully to make sure you don't scoot your way into the couch, or make it too far across the room. You also roll back and forth, from your back to sides easily, and once or twice to your tummy, we're thinking you'll be rolling around the room in no time. We are trying to get you to sleep on your own, for more than a couple hours at a time. Last night you actually slept in your travel crib next to our bed, for 4 hours!!! Mommy was so happy!! Hopefully you'll be going almost through the night very soon, with just one feeding in the middle, that would be perfect! Your body is also now absorbing almost all of the food you get from mommy, which means you have taken to only pooping once every 7 or 8 days... which at first scared mommy and daddy a lot, but now we kinda get it's normal, and you're thing, and you're still growing and doing just great, so were not too worried. You love your bath time, and baby massage every evening. You love to snuggle, love your naked time, and love the mirror. We cannot believe how much you've grown and changed so far, and how fast you're developing mentally and changing physically! We are so excited to see what this 3 month of life brings with you, and what changes you'll make over the coming days and weeks. 

We both love you so very much baby girl, 

Love, 

Mommy and Daddy

Spending your 3 month birthday on Jayson and Lindsay's boat on the Owhyee Reservoir 

You LOVED the boat!!! And your life jacket, thankfully!! You took several naps, usually lulled to sleep by the jetboat engine and the bumps on the water.

Chillin' with daddy on the boat, you were so freakin' adorable in your little life jacket!!!  Daddy forgot to get a picture of mommy with you, but that's ok, we'll get one soon hopefully.
