Swinging!

Stella got a swing set for her birthday.

Jim and his Dad built it.

And she LOVES it!

Just look at her face when she got to try it out for the first time.

I think this is a gift that she will be able to appreciate for many years to come.

Running Man

Cole has been having a great time doing

Cross Country in High School this year.

He has hit some

personal best times.

Here are some pics from his first meet.

Don't they look like they mean business?

Last minute strategizing before the race.

Lined up- ready to run.

And they're off.

Looking strong.

Finishing strong.

First Birthday Fun

Here are a few shots from Stella's

First Birthday.

We had a football party with some friends

and family.

Stella acted like she knew exactly what to do with the cake.

She had tons of fun!

She Likes It... Or Does She?

A little late to the game,

but our garden is finally producing some tomatoes.

Well, to be honest, it's producing a LOT of tomatoes.

Stella found out that the cherry tomatoes

are the perfect size for her hands.

Yummy!

I like it!

It's delicious!

Whoa! It's juicy.

And maybe a little bit tart.

Oh yeah, it's tart.

Hmmm, what was that thing.

I kinda liked it.

I wanna try it again.

Touchdown!!!!

Stella has a new trick.

We think it's adorable.
