A year of catch up!

I'm back after a very long break that wasn't intentional, I can't believe it has almost been a year since I've last blogged! I have a few drafted up but never finished them. Life got crazy after our house fire, we moved in with my parents (11 months to be exact) while we waited for the house to get fixed and sell it! It took 7 LONG months to sell but it finally sold and we were able to move on from that nightmare! We found a house we love, in a great neighborhood with tons of kids Stell's age...we can't wait for this summer to start using the pool! So with that being said we've had quite an exciting end of summer and fall! We moved, found out I was pregnant with baby #2 and bought a new bigger car to fit our growing family! It couldn't have been a better way to end 2014!

So lets back up a little and try to recap all we've missed......

February and march were still freezing temps but lil miss could have cared less and only wanted be outside.

 March started with a 2nd trip to Florida to visit Gg and grandpa, this trip daddy wasn't able to come with so it was just Stelly and me! grandpa spoiled us and up graded us to first class since I was flying alone pretty lucky lil lady to be 22 months flying first class. This trip we spent with lots of time on the beach. January you weren't so sure about having your toes in the sand but thankfully this time you loved it!

 April brought a trip to the zoo and Easter

Stell got her first scooter from the eater bunny and loved it

May was Birthday month. Estella turned the Big 2 and we celebrated with a zoo themed birthday she was obsessed with animals and still is

Woke up on her birthday to find a big trampoline 

I didn't take pictures but for all the kids we had a scavenger hunt for tiny zoo animals we had hid throughout the back yard

October we found out we were expecting again:) more scooter time, we went to the apple orchard, took two trips to the pumpkin patch, celebrated Halloween pretty much all month long. We went to the light up parade, you got to where your costume to dance, went to a pumpkin carving party at the neighbors, we entered you in the toddler costume contest that you took 2nd in last year and this year you WON 1st place! You were so excited because you got to be in the big parade and you ate up every second waving and saying hi to everyone. On Halloween night you made it around the whole neighborhood you trick or treated like a champ! Dad went out and I passed out the candy, he said you walked right in the the second house's kitchen haha, but you had a blast and still talk about Halloween-a (that is what you call it) almost everyday
