The Neighborhood Playground in FL

Can you say Future Rock Climber, like her Aunt Hadley :)















Kissy Face up the spiral





Down....

Then back Up...



She loves the monkey bars - and stands on my shoulders while grabbing the above bars and going across them, I brace her waist of course as I'm doing this

Valentine's Day 2012 in FL

Valentine's Day this year fell the day after the auction which was nice, although Justin was still swamped, he was at least able to sleep in a little bit and visit with Stella before he started his busy day.

We surprised him with this.  Stella made her daddy a giant V-day card along with her friend Ava who came over to make her daddy one too.

The day before Valentine's Day Stella was invited to a Valentine's Day party in the park with other moms & kiddies in Celebration, FL.


This photo CRACKS ME UP - this is for those that may think Stella takes a cute smiley photo each and every time I attempt one.  NOT.  but honestly like 99% of the time Yes, but here's one of those pics that makes it in that 1% slot of NOPE.  I bought her these cute plastic valentine champagne flutes at the dollar store (my favorite store) because she loves to "Cheers!" so I thought it would be a cute pic of her saying "Cheers" to Valentine's Day.  She was not so much into my attempt to get this shot, which this was my third attempt and she was over it.  hahahaha! 














Getting Ready For Her V-day Party In The Park - making mini-cupcakes






 The Party in the park
A great time with all of her FL friends = A Valentine's Day Party in the Park with 3 hours full of Desserts, Crafts & Playground Fun! By 10:30am today this little girl managed to help herself to at least 5 of the Mini-Cupcakes we brought today, 1 regular size Cupcake and some frosted cookies (but whose counting right!) Stella prefers to eat all of the frosting and hand me the cupcakes when she is done. It's nice to be so welcomed here by them all.






 Stella loves babies - this was the first time she's been around one and one she could hold since she's really been into babies.  I was primping her for her little baby brother or sister :)

The Auction: Kissimmee 2012

The whole reason we are down here is for Justin and Grampy's Annual Kissimmee, FL Auction.  This year was very very VERY important for Justin & I as far as his company goes, RealtimeBid.com.  And it went GREAT!  I'm so so so so so so sooooooooooo very proud of my husband - he worked his butt off (I, along with others, do not know how he does it).














Who says construction equipment is for the boys....










In the auction topper with the auctioneer, Grampy and Daddy.



Getting a tour of the yard with Grampy before the auction starts the week later.

Jeamma & Ter-Bear's FL Visit

As you saw in the previous post "Dinosaur World", Jeamma & Ter-Bear were down here in FL for a visit.  Stella loves her grandma and grandpa....and we can't deny it, she really is into her Ter-Bear these days!

It was really nice to have them down here and be able to spend all this QT together.  Thank you for everything Mom & Dad.







 Stella in one of her newest pairs of STELLbottoms.  And the special backpack purse that Jeamma made for her for Florida - look, do you see the cute alligators :)


 A pic of Stella in another pair of her newest STELLbottoms - this day was the only one out of the entire FL stay that wasn't 80 I swear.  And this day it had to be a record low because it didn't reach 
past 39!  



 Awwww, taking their naps




Dinosaur World!
