Fall 2011..

Hi, Spencer and Everyone!

We hope you're all doing well.

Our family has had a busy and fun fall so far. Stella continues to grow smarter and funnier and cuter, every day. She honestly says the funniest and smartest things every day. It just amazes us and provides us with constant enjoyment and entertainment.

She continues to love her preschool class. She is so social, she loves all the kids in her class and they love her too. She is still in a little dance class and a gymnastics class too. She really loves the gymnastics class the most right now. She's actually starting to get a cartwheel down. :)

As you can see from the pictures, she was Cinderella for Halloween. She had picked that out months in advance and never changed her mind. So, she had a great time dressing up as Cinderella and even tried to do her 'best princess smile' all day long! Ha, ha. This was the first year we actually took her 'trick or treating' around the neighborhood. She thought it was the best thing ever and still talks about it almost every day. She also had a school party, a church party and a party at her grandma's house. So, she got some serious use out of the costume this year! She asked me yesterday if she could be 'Sleeping Beauty for Christmas'. So, now she thinks she is supposed to dress up for every holiday!

Tomorrow we'll be spending Thanksgiving at my mom's house. Stella is excited to play with her cousins, but not so excited to eat turkey. She's pretty sure she won't like it...and she's probably right. She still has a palate that consists basically of peanut butter and honey sandwiches, chicken nuggets, spaghetti-o's, yogurt, apple sauce and crackers. :( We're doing our best, though, to keep her tummy full despite her lack of enjoyment over food.

We hope you enjoy the pictures.

Love, The Webbs

Summertime 2011...

Hi, Everyone! Hope you're all doing well. We are plugging along through the hot months and looking forward to the fall!

Stella is as vivacious, smart and beautiful as ever. She is very interested in letters, spelling and reading now. She always asks how to spell everything and when she sees letters she always tries to identify them - and is getting pretty good at it! I have the feeling she'll be an early reader.

She is now 28 pounds and 38 inches tall.

She continues to surprise us with the funny and intelligent things that she says and remembers. She has the memory of an elephant.

We've stayed busy over the summer with vacations, swimming, movies and having play dates with her little friends in our neighborhood/ward. She has a little set of girl friends that are in our ward that are so cute all together. It's fun. She's very social and is already a leader amongst her peers.

We went to California a couple weeks ago and took her to Disneyland. You'll see some pictures below of the beach and of Disney. She got to meet 'the real' Sleeping Beauty and give her a hug. She was in awe. :)

She started back into gymnastics and dance two weeks ago after a nice summer break and is doing great already. The teacher moved her up to a more advanced dance class already! It's so cute. She's getting really good at watching the teacher and following her example.

Today was her first day back at preschool. She was very excited and not nervous at all. There are some pictures of her below (in the purple / pink dress and purple flowers in her hair), of her 'first day of school' outfit.

We love her so much and are so grateful to have her. She is our little ray of sunshine.

Late Spring / Summer 2011...

Hi, There!

We hope that everyone is doing well! We sure are. We're making it through the hot summer...staying busy with the two girls. Stella is doing great. She's growing all the time and has really matured over the last few months. She's such a beautiful and smart little girl.

She is loving swimming this summer and is getting more and more brave in the water. We're working on learning to swim. Stella had a great third birthday and this year she actually understood what was happening! She was very excited for her 'Alice in Wonderland' party. Grandma made her an Alice dress to wear and she had a great time helping me decorate for it. She got a big girl bike this year!

We're taking it easy this summer but she will be starting preschool in August as well as back into dance and tumbling class. She's excited to get back into her classes. She's still loving nursery and her teachers told me that she's the only one in the class who can remember and sing all the songs in there.

Here are a few pictures from the past couple months.

Love,

Cam, Jenny, Stella and Scarlett
Playing in the rain.




Walking with Grandma at the lake.




She loves dandilions and calls them 'wishers'.



Thank you to the Rodebacks for the cute birthday presents! So cute. Here she is wearing her Tiana dress. She loves it.


4th of July.



All ready for her dance recital. She did so great! She remembered the dance and did the whole thing. She also waved to the audience from the stage! I think her favorite part, though, was that she got to wear make-up.





Her little dance class with their teacher.



At the Grand Canyon. She really wanted her little doll to be in the picture. That's why she's holding it up like that! :)



Tired girl in the car on the way home from the Grand Canyon.


Bounce house at her bday party.




She really gave that pinata a good beating!






Showing her guests her new bike!
