Tara and Stella meet the boys

I LOVE my family! We've had so many visitors since the boys birth ( well, actually since I got pregnant). I think in the past year my mom has come out to visit 6 times, Tara has come twice and Becka has come once. Brothers... You are welcome to come too! I'm glad that we are all as close as we are even though I'm on the opposite side of the country.

Tara and Stella were lucky enough to fly first class, but that still didn't help with the jet-lag/time difference for Stella. They day after they got in she was so tire she fell asleep eating her breakfast.
Tara was super excited to hold some babies and give them some love. Here she is with Jonas. He was quite smitten with her.
We did a lot of cooking, mostly cookies, but here's a shot of the yummy margherita pizza we made.
Stella was a great helper with the boys. Always making sure they were happy with their blankets and binkies.
Again, with the helping. I can't believe how big she is!
Here's Tara snuggling Elliott to sleep.
Stella loves showing off her scary face (Presley is a great big sister and taught her how to make a scary face).
We had to throw in a meal at the Waffle House just to make Chris jealous.
Stella giving uncle Matt some love.
Another one of our cooking adventures. Chocolate Pudding Cake. This was fabulous (and super easy)! Camille had made it for book club night and Tara fell in love with this recipe and had to teach me how to make it too.
Another place Tara wanted to visit while she was here was the Steak & Shake. I think Stella enjoyed herself too ( I think I have a similar photo of Presley at the S & S too...).


Tara had to rent a car because my tiny little car couldn't hold all of us. Stella is Enjoying a rice bar and a movie in the car.
Tara told me I was only allowed to let her go to Bruster's once for her favorite Key Lime Pie ice cream.
As always, the visit was too short! Thanks for coming out! I can't wait to see you all again in May :)
