Some Randomness from the past week...

Here I am last Sunday. I chose my own outfit, but you have to guess what my favorite color is!

Here I am playing with Auntie Sharyn. She's doing a puzzle, I'm coloring in my jammies!

We went to lunch with Auntie Sharyn and her family. I got more ketchup on my face than in my mouth!

I get so sleepy playing with Uncle Nick and Auntie Sharyn. I like to nap on the couch!
I'm just such a happy girl lately! Look at those pretty eyes!

A day in the snow

Mom and Dad took Caden and I to the snow today. We just went to Mt. Baldy which is much closer than Big Bear and the other resorts. We don't need resorts, we're 3!!! We just had fun in the snow. Unfortunately, yesterday it was really hot and so was today (54 degrees up there) so a lot of the snow had melted or turned to ice. We still had fun though!


Here I am going down the hill.

Here we are (with daddy's legs holding us from going down the hill)


Caden, Daddy and I posed for a picture
Caden had lots of fun too!

Here are some videos. The first one was a sled path that some nice person dug out and then it turned into ice. I was ok, there were never any fear or tears, just a little reaction from some bystanders!


This one is a little more my speed!



This one is of Caden. Mom says sorry it's all "Blair Witch Project" at the end.

Another game of who do I look like?

Yes, that's a towel being held up by a princess crown.
Do you need another picture, just for clarification...
Did you get it???



















Yep, I look like a backup dancer in Michael Jackson's "Remember the Time" Video.

My Friend!

I went shopping with mommy, Julie and Caden this morning. We had breakfast. Caden and I had pancakes. I love pancakes!

This is my friend Caden and his tongue. He was being silly!


We kind of got put in time out in Nordstrom's for not listening. Who would have guessed?


But we were good enough to get to go on the Carousel.


Look at my pretty smile!


Caden and I were waving at everyone like we were the homecoming King and Queen, LOL!

Just for Josh and Kate

So Mr. I was in the band at Stanford...how do you like this song from a 3 year old. We could fix Kate into a Trojan fan given a couple more weeks or really just one home game. Ha ha! What bowl is your team in again? Oh, it's ok, you can just sit back and watch us, or Cal.
Peace!
Love Stella!

Christmas Day!!!!

I woke up this morning and Santa had come to my house. I got a lot of books, which is great because I LOVE to read. This is a fairy book to my Great Aunt in St. Louis.


This is mommy's side of the family. I'm sitting on my Gigi's lap. Auntie Sharyn and Uncle Nick flew in from DC along with Auntie Sharyn's sister, Kate! Auntie Sharyn's parents flew in from Boston and of course my Uncle Jeff and Tia Linda as well as Uncle Pete and Aunt Katrina were at Maca and Papa's for Christmas. It was so fun!

Below is a little video of me when I just woke up this morning. I was groggy but there is one momment of video that you can see the magic of Christmas in my eyes!

Merry Christmas Eve

Christmas is tomorrow. I'm typing in my sleep...ha ha ha! Here are some pics of Christmas Eve on Daddy's side of the family!

Me and my daddy!


Uncle Nacho, Auntie Angelica, Mommy, me, Daddy, Grandma, Robert and Uncle Junior.

I danced all night and on the way home, I was really sleepy. Mom thought I looked so peaceful. I was really good today!

After I went to bed, mom and dad came down to find that Santa had come! WOW! I'm one lucky little girl!

Elf on a Shelf

Mom bought me a special friend. I named him Elvis. Elvis is an Elf and he comes with a book. The book says that Elvis comes to me directly from Santa! Holy Cow SANTA!!!! Every night Elvis flies to the North Pole to let Santa know if I've been naughty or nice. When he flies back to my house every night he finds a new hiding spot. He's been in my car seat, hanging upside down from a pants hanger in the laundry room, in the blinds, in the tree, on top of the tv, in a candle holder, in the microwave handle...you get the point! He's crazy. I can't touch him or else he looses his magic. Well last night was Elvis' last trip down to my house, and he came home with a special present. This is from Elvis, because he loves me and he's going to miss me until next year when he'll fly back. Mom say's everyone should have a Magic Elf!


Here is Elvis under the tree this morning with a special present. I didn't touch Elvis!!!

I opened my special present.

Auntie Sharyn helped put it on! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Auntie Sharyn so much!

I'm so proud. I've been wearing my gift all morning!

Elvis brought me a Tinkerbell necklace. Wasn't that nice!

Where is Tall Man?

Here he is. So this is what happens when mommy is baking cookies. I was singing Where is thumbkin? I got to tall man and daddy told mommy to turn around. I don't understand what the big deal is. For those of you who don't know the entire Thumbkin song it goes: Where is thumbkin, then Where is Pointer, Where is Tall Man, Where is Ring Man and finally, where is pinkie. I know the whole song. Mommy sings it too but she uses different finger jestures for "tall man".

Does mom get another vote for "mom of the year" for this lovely gesture?

Christmas Card

So it turns out my mom has officially run out of time. She wanted to mail out a Christmas Card to everyone. Our Christmas list has grown substantially this year and my mom is kind of bummed that she doesn't have the time to send these out. So instead we are redirecting our peeps to the blog. So, enjoy the card. Mom feels like an idiot but we'll make up for it next year. I promise!

I think my mom passed down a gene I didn't want!

So here's some background. I have a My Little Pony and she has a brush. I was sitting on Daddy's lap and beating the brush on daddy's head or something, then this conversation happened:

Me: "Mom, where is my pony"
Mom: "in your hand"
Me: "Oh ya"

Seriously, I have beautiful dark hair with auburn and golden highlights. But mom passed down the blond gene!

Holiday Concert

Tonight was my Holiday Concert at my school. Mommy doesn't know why two of the videos are fuzzy. Just accept it and move on. Enjoy my beautiful singing!

Heart

So mom told me my skirt was on backwards. I guess she just doesn't have the heart to tell me my cheetah print's don't match. What does that old lady know about fashion? I think I look cool!

Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite color?

I don't feel good today. Mommy thought the Christmas Tree may make me feel better. It did for a little bit and I was back to my normal defiant self for a couple hours while mommy put it together. But I'm just sick. I don't want to eat, I have a fever and I just want to sit on my daddy's lap or sleep. I know I'll be more excited about our decorations when I'm feeling better. I love Christmas time. Maca got me a new advent calendar that mommy has to go get special treats for. Today we watched Frosty the Snowman and Elf. Mom and Dad LOVE Elf. I don't get it yet.

Thanksgiving

I went to my Uncle Pete's and Aunt Katrina's yesterday for Turkey Day! Gobble Gobble! I had lots of fun!


Aunt Katrina has a really cool park. This ladder was so hard, it went from horizontal and twisted to vertical! I did it all by myself!

They had some really cool monkey bars.

They had a bicycle style stairclimer thing. It was really hard too! Not even mom can do it. The park did say it was for ages five and up. Maybe mom isn't older than five!

Katrina also bought these wind up things. There was a monkey with symbols that walks and bangs...it came home with me! I love it!
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving too!

I'm an actor

Here I am, practicing my acting faces.


Sad...

Pouty...

The Casual Hello...

Cheezy...


Rock Star...


Happy...


Vindictive...

Shy...
And yes, these are all real emotions we go through every night at our house. Mom doesn't usually have the camera when I'm crying at night. I've been REALLY whiny at night lately. Apparently my parents don't like it much. We'll see how long this phase lasts!

Pull Over

Here I am at The Little Gym. I did a pull over all by myself. I walked up the wall, kicked my feet over the bar and then pulled myself up! I did it all by myself! Then I do a little bit of casting and then a tummy roll (I flip back over). This is hard guys! It takes a lot of arm and ab strength. I'm getting good at it! I can do it walking up the wall, I still need to do it from the ground. That's the next step.

A little bit of video

Just a warning, the audio is loud, but that's how I like my music!

This little number was because I didn't go to gymnastics class today and because it's Monday and Dancing with The Stars is on. Also, mommy is horrified that she posted this video and our living room looks like this. Oy!

Kung Fu Panda

Mom asked me about a month ago what I wanted to be for Halloween. I said a princess. Mom said no (she's anti-princess). Mom wanted me to be Curious George. I love George, but I didn't want to dress up like him. She asked if I wanted to be Kung Fu Panda and I said YES! So for a month, I've been really excited about being Kung Fu Panda. I got the costume and put it on. I loved it...until Halloween. Halloween day, I wanted to be a witch (oh and I was, but not in the dress up kind of way). Mom said no, you're gonna be Kung Fu Panda. So, I threw a fit!

Here I am crying before school. Mom said I just had to put the head on for the parade at school, because the head is really cool!

But no, here I am in the parade. No panda head! This panda head is crazy cool!

No, really, it's super cool...look at this! Maybe it's just crazy like my mom.

Nope, it's crazy cool, but I still hate it!
I wouldn't wear the head. It stayed on for about 30 seconds for the picture above. So mom made me some ears out of a white headband, a hair clip, some black felt and some sandwich bag ties. Okay, MacGyver! I'll wear them!
After Trick or Treating, I allowed my mom to take one more picture!

Saturday we had a party at The Little Gym and now it's Sunday and I'm still recovering. I took a nap on momma...she's squishy.
