I was able to catch this really good picture on my Iphone!

Isn't she just SO CUTE?!?!

Party At Stella's!

We recently bought this musical crib toy...

Sometimes she likes it...

and sometimes not so much.

(Pictures were taken on 2/24/09)

3 Cheers for HOCKEY!

February 21st, My dad, Nina, and I went to a hockey game.

Now...it wasn't as awesome as the New Years Eve game we went to,

BECAUSE...there were no fights!

We won though...so thats good.

Nina showing off her hockey stick and bell!

(Thanks Barrie! I'll get it back to you soon!)

Can you find Erin and Travis?

We need more cowbell!!! (hahahaha)

A fight ALMOST starting...

Damn Refs!

Boooooooooo!

Sleep

I will post more tomorrow.

I need sleep.

Yay for sleep!

Pediatric Unit

On Feb. 5th, Stella, Nina, and myself went to the dr.

for a cough and a few other misc. things...

They gave Stella a breathing treatment to open her lungs up.

That night she was breathing worse...

so I took her to the ER and we were there from 630pm until 12 30am.

Sent us home...

"nothing we can do for her because she doesnt have a fever"...

So Friday we went back to the Dr. for a check up (per. ER instructions)

and they couldnt believe they didn't do a breathing treatment!

So they sent us home with a nebulizer machine and medicine.

That evening she came down with a fever and the

on-call dr. told us to go straight to the ER.

We got there at 9 15pm and by 2am she was admitted into the peds. unit.

Stella looking so sad in the ER (2/6)

"Mom! I'm sick!" (still in the ER)

Her crib in her pediatric room

Aww! My poor baby!!!!

Silly Girl!

So sad but SO cute!

Hi Baby Girl!

Our hospital room...

yes, I had my OWN bed!!!

See my laptop?! HAD to bring that because my

FRIENDS are in there...hahahaha

All in All...shes doing really well. They said she had bronchiolitis.

(bronchial infection)..something like that. They were just scared

about her getting or having RSV. It was really hard for me to be there

while Tim and Nina were at home without me and Stella.

Valentines Day Project

I saw this project with these crayons on a blog I frequent...

called Elle's Studio. LOVE the stuff on there!

Anyways, I made these for all the kids in Nina's class.

Got the heart silicone "pan" from walmart

Got these alphabet ones from Sillycone

I made the first letter of each child's name...also her teachers names.

I got this metal mailbox from the Dollar Spot at Target.

I altered it with stuff I had in my scrapbook room

and put her teachers initials on it.

(Made one for her Friday teacher, but forgot pictures)

Stella Rose

Here are some pictures of baby Stella.

The first three were taken Jan. 13th

and the last two are from Jan. 14th (2 weeks old!)

She has binky mouth! So cute!

SO CUTE!

Sticking her tongue out!

How Adorable! 2 weeks old!

Nina decided Stella was going to play

barbies with her.

1 month?!

WOW! Didn't realize that it's been a month since I've posted!

SORRY!

I will make it up to you all tonight! PROMISE!

Blog Give-Away!

I'm always lookin' around at different crafty blogs...

Here is one of my favorite one's...

LOVE the ideas on there!

Movie Date

Tim really wanted to go to the movies.

And he picked Gran Torino.

I've only seen previews on TV...hadn't heard or read reviews.

So I agreed to go.

I am SO glad he picked that movie.

There is so much about that movie that I loved.

I'm not great at writing reviews, so I'll just say...

GO SEE IT!

You won't regret it!

First Park Visit of 2009

Monday Jan. 12th was SO warm! 60 degrees!

So it was Tim's last day off of work so we took

the girls to the park down from our house.

Nina was SO excited to go!

Stella...of course...could have cared less...hahaha

Wave Slide!

Close up of Stella Bear

Stella in her carseat...

doesn't she look so warm and cozy?!

A Swingin' Good Time!

GiGi and BopBop bought this swing for Stella.
She just sleeeeeps and sleeeeeps in it.

That's what they are best for ;)!

Isn't she so tiny in there?!

Of course Nina wanted to be in a picture...

Hi Baby Stella!

We often find Nina trying to play with the swing...

without Stella in it.

She even tried climbing in it once...silly Nina.

Happy Stuff!

While at the hospital, my friend (and her family)

sent us some flowers (the ones in the front).

Thanks Shasta and family! They are STILL beautiful!

THEN Thursday afternoon we received the ones in the back...

from our California friends...Nina and her family!

It also came with the balloon! Thank you!

How did you girls know that daisies are my favorite?!

Sleepy Girls!

I have pictures of Stella's first bath at home...

but they are pretty visual...so I won't post them.

But here is a picture Tim got of Stella and I napping.

Great Grandma and Stella

Mamie Rose London meets Stella Rose Leingang.

Great Grandma was SO happy when

she heard Stella's middle name.

Stella is the first relative to be named after her.

Our Big Helper!

Nina wasn't so sure about Stella in the hospital...

took her a while to warm up to her.

These pictures were taken Thursday (1/8/09)

after she got home from preschool.

She was SO excited to be able to help!
