Can't wait to see everyone who can make. Registration is at 10:30 and the walk is at 11 at New Life Assembly in Billings on Temple Place off Shiloh Rd.

Stacia and Her Family

Stacia and Good Night

Stacia like most children has a good night routine. The cutest thing in her routine is having to go to her window to say goodnight to everyone. We say good night to her aunts, uncle, and cousins who live right by us. We say good night to Oma and Papa. She says Oma and Papa. We say good night to Sally the bunny that we are fostering. She tries to say Sally. We say good night grass, we say good night moon. She says moon. We stay Good night Stars. We say Good Night people in the Cars. She tries to say Cars.

I promise as soon as I can I will get some more photos up of her as well as maybe some of the rest of us.

Saturday morning Mama took me and Bridget down to the fair to catch the rabbit show.

I was not impressed with watching the show though seeing my friend Dixie from the Easter Egg Hunt was fun.

We walked over later to see the horse show that was fun especially getting to pet a horse.

I loved the strawberry ice cream Mama got me.

Mama tried to get me to eat some chicken and rice but I was having nothing to do with it. I did eat a Viking on a stick.

I liked going on the rides especially the bounce house and the slide.

Stacias Latest Skill

When we put door knob covers on the doors we didn't want Stacia opening and making a mess with like the bathroom, Bridget's room, closets, ect we jokingly said that Stacia would figure out how to use them before Bridget did.
Saturday night Larry put Stacia to bed as he often does on the rare nights he is home. The next thing we know she is out in the living room again so back to bed. This was repeated 3 times with both Larry and Bridget taking her to her room as I was busy sorting through some clothes of Bridgets and matching them into outfits.
Finally Mama had to put her to bed at which point she stayed. Sunday night as Larry was working I was the one to put her to bed and she didn't come out once.

I am thinking that a certain little girl is wanting mama and only mama to put her to bed.

So far she has not tried opening any rooms we don't want her going into.

Stacia went to the lake

Stacia along with big sister Bridget, Abba, and Grandma and Grandpa P went to Wild Bill Lake by Red Lodge last Saturday. She had a blast according to the reports. While she didn't fish she enjoyed playing near the lake while Abba, Grandpa, and Bridget fished. Bridget caught her first fish and was very excited about that.
When they got home Grandma P fried up the fish and the girls got to try some fresh trout. Stacia seemed to like it as long as her fingers didn't have to touch it. She was not at all interested in using a fork to eat and with the little bones in the fish that you have to watch for I was not going to force the issue.

Fishing

Stacia went fishing today along with Bridget, her daddy, and Grandpa and Grandma P. Will know more later.

Reunion, 4th and what else has been happening

Stacia seemed to have a good time at a family reunion for my side as long as she was near Mama, Abba, Oma, or Bridget and as long as there were not too many people around her. If she got too many people around her she decided to hightail it out of there. She did enjoy checking out the port-a-potty, but was not too impressed with sitting on the seat. She actually acted scared. Not that I blame her those seats are awlfully big for such little bottoms.
Stacia went and watched the parade in Laurel with Mama, Abba, and one of Larry's brothers. It was fun watching for Bridget and her cousin  in the parade along with other friends that we know. She enjoyed watching her Uncle and the people who's house we were in front of throw water ballons and spray a hose of water at people. After the parade we went over to Larry's brother and his wife's house for a while until time to head home so that Larry could go to work. Bridget went over to  my brother's houseto play with her cousin in the pool  for a while while Stacia enjoyed having Mama all to herself and getting to watch some of her favorite DVDs.
Stacia enjoyed a brat and some miracle gelatin salad for dinner and then later came out with to start watching the fireworks. She ended up not being able to watch all of them because she choose to be trying to flip over the deck railing and Mama was not too keen on that idea especially in the dark. She got taken inside and put to bed.
Last night Stacia had a nightmare about 4 am it took Larry and I until almost 5:30 to get her settled down enough to go back to sleep. We were going to just put her back to bed in just a pull up. Not flying with her she insisted on jammies. We were going to let her keep the 4 weebles and the weeble trike that was out. No Stacia insisted that things be put away. It's almost comical how she insists that at least her room be kept clean and nothing is out of place when she goes to bed.
