My top two obsessions......

So there are two things I am in mad love with right now....... Stellar and CAKE! I dont eat the cake, I just decorate cakes. I look for every excuse to make a cake. Steve bought me a bunch of cake decorating supplies for my birthday and its been obsession ever since. I recently bought some Wilton brand character shaped pans off of craigslist for cheap and its sooooo FUN!!!! I made my nephew a hamburger cake yesterday for his birthday. Bridget my sister bought me some cake decorating classes for my birthday. My last class is tomorrow and I am soo sad. There are other continuing classes starting this spring. (I wont panic) Can ya see the fries in the back of the photo? They are sugar cookies cut into frie shapes and rolled in sugar. Rice krispies for the sesame seeds. Anyway.....Stellar is growing by leaps and bounds. He will be 7 months old on the 8th of this month~! Incredible. He starting scooting at about 5 1/2 months. Then started full on crawling about a month later. Well just in the past week or so he is pulling himself up on things and scurrying along the couch. The downside to that is that he has some new bruises on his 7head7bujuybhh8ihyhj. Ok he just got a hold o fthth mnmhn hkneh of the keyboard.. sheesh. He will be walking soon. To soon. :0 ) He is such a funny personality to have in our home. It is so fun and we just cant seem to kiss him or hug him enough. Now if he would just sleep all the way through the night.

Thanks! Love you all!!

These are a few of my favorite things.... 5 months old

Happy Boy

I was mowing the lawn and he was happy as a tick in his little saucer (thanks to my neighbor) and protected from the sun with his hat (thanks Andrew and Jen) and some sunscreen. I just love this kid.

Catching up a bit....

Today is a big day for Stellar. He had his first solids. Rice cereal mixed with banana and he LOVED it! This picture is his messy face before his bath. He actually is a very neat eater.

Naked Bath time! I love his bath time he is so cute I want to bite his face....heheheh
Steve will sit and watch tv and prop Stellar up beside him and it is so funny cause Stellar will watch tv with his daddy. So cute. Love it so I had to of course take a picture!
This year we went on a week long trip up north to Ferragut State Park. It was Steve's step mothers family reuinon they have every year and they invited us. Stellar was great as always. It was a 8 hour trip up there... sheesh. It was beautiful.
This is Uncle Dan and Stellar. Everyone loved him and passed him around like the flu.

This is Steve's dad, Sam his cousin, and Brooklyn his niece. Obviously not ready for a picture :)
This is Steve's step mother Lynda, Savannah and his sister Ashley. We all spent a lot of time just hanging around and enjoying eachothers company.
This is Stellar at about 13 weeks old. Sitting in his high chair for the first time. Its nice to have when I am cooking. Slap a few toys on it and he can bat at them for hours.
So the Riley's have a tradition they do every year on the 4th of July. They go up to Oakley, Utah to their parade and give out free chilli verde breakfast burritos. They usually give out around 300 every year footing the cost them selves. It was fun to go this year and see the action. This is Steve and his cousin Trevor in the action.

My Hillbilly Baby

We just got back from a 9 day adventure up state. We went to Farragut National Park in northern Idaho. Stellar was a dream. He is the best little child. He traveled 8 hours like a dream. While up there Ashley, Steve's sister like to take pictures. Well, she took the funniest picture ever and I have to share it. We can not stop laughing at it.

Blessing

This weekend we blessed Stellar. We had friends and family come up from Utah and it was so good to see everyone. We got some sweet gifts from Andrew and Jen. We put Stellar in the swimsuit they bought him and robe and took the cutest pics!
