Easter

We had Easter Dinner at the Rozmus household. It was delicious, ham, potatoes, asparagus, rolls and herb dip, etc. etc. Needless to say we came home stuffed. It was great!



As you can see, Stella was dressed as the Easter Bunny after her bath Sunday morning, however, she did not enjoy taking pictures for mom and dad. She tried her best to be screaming and throwing a tantrum in every picture snapped, but we got a couple where you can't tell she's too upset. Once we got her dressed and ready for church, she was much more delightful!



The Easter Bunny brought Stella a basket, and luckily remembered to put something in it for Andy and Me as well.


About two weeks ago I bought this adorable bunny headband that I was patiently waiting to snap a picture of Stella in. When I first bought the headband, Stella would wear it for a couple of minutes just staring at me like - there is something on my head, I guess I better not move. However, I never took the opportunity to take a picture because for some reason I thought it was important to wait until Easter. Bad move. By the time Easter rolled around, she figured out how to whip that thing off so fast I didn't even have a chance. I guess there is always next year...we will have to try again.

Slow Goin'

Well. I finished two more pages...finally. I better stop now and get the dishes done. If I don't, they will pile up too high and I will never get to them. These two are from when we all fed the stingrays at Sea World. That was crazy. You can see them swimming towards your hand, and the anticipation of their slimy nasty mouths is almost too much to take. I screamed both times I "fed" them. I'm not sure I actually kept my hand in the water long enough to say that they ate from my hand, because I would get creeped out and quickly pull my hand up. I am sure they are harmless animals, but lets face it...they are a little gross. Andy Fed the stingrays also, but I think he was more excited to feed a bystanding bird. He held (waved) the little fish in the air and the big bird flew right down and snatched it so fast. It is pretty amazing the system Sea World has. Have tourists pay us to come here. Then have them pay us to feed our animals for us. Nice thinking guys. But it's worth it for the memories:)

Something to get you salivating...

So Stella has a little cold, and she's getting her 2nd tooth in, so she is pretty sensitive these days. That makes for a couple of nights with not much sleep, and a couple of days with not much getting done. So I don't have too many scrapbooking pages done, but I will post what I have from the trip so far. Andy suggested I do this because if I post them all at once then it is, "so many pictures, so much stuff...and then a little bit of writing at the end." So here are the pictures from the first Day when Stella and Jagger "got to know each other". Jagger was unimpressed by Stella's ability to grab and scratch. He would even start crying on occasion when she would come around. Poor little guy. His one advantage - he can crawl a lot faster than she can scoot.



While we were in Orlando - one of the things we did was go to Sea World. I have plenty more pictures of Sea World to come - but this is the first batch. Enjoy!

We're Back...

Well, we made it back from our awesome vacation in Orlando with Andy's Parents and Brother Alma and his wife Nicole and their son Jagger. We had a blast, and I can't wait to post all about it - but I am going to scrapbook pages first - so that I can put those up rather than put up ...oh...200 or so pictures. I am trying to do this quickly as I know my parents are anxiously awaiting the pictures and stories, so check back often, hopefully soon you will see something exciting.

Manly Man

Our Ward Youth had a service project building an obstacle course at the camp they go to. Being that I am in Young Womens, I went, and luckily brought Andy along. There were some extremely heavy "poles" that needed to be moved, lifted, and placed in the ground. It was a big job. Andy was just the man to do it. He once again proved to me just how strong he is. I love that Andy enjoys working hard so much. His motivation and strength are two of the things that made me fall for him in the first place. He got the job done - and had a good time getting away from the desk for a little while. I had it real tough - I held Stella and indulged in a little chit-chat.

I'll never learn...

Every time I cut my own bangs, I think...never do that again. However, time and time again I do it...again. Oh well - I guess some things never change. At least Stella enjoys sliding her fingers through them whenever she can.

Growing older by the minute

Lately I have been noticing more and more how fast Stella is growing. She seems older all the time. I remember when she used to sleep almost all day, and she would lay so still, I could lift her arm, or her leg, and then drop it, and she would not even flinch. Now she doesn't want to stop moving for even a second. She has turned into an always active and loud little tyke. She has become extremely curious, never wanting to miss out on anything. She is aware of so many things going on around her, and she wants in on all the action. She has recently learned how to take her headbands off, and now keeping them on for even a little while takes a lot of distraction.

The most fun she's ever had

Andy and I took Stella on a little walk around our complex last night. I don't know if she has ever had as much fun as she did on that walk. Andy had Stella up on his shoulders, and he and I were skipping around, back and forth, going towards eachother and then away from eachother. Stella was laughing so hard. She just giggled and giggled over and over again, throwing her head back and screeching. It was so fun! I love when she has a good time and shows it. We can't get enough of her growing personality.

Daddy's girl...

That's what Stella is these days. She loves to be with her Dad. In the morning time, she sometimes even starts to whine when he hands her to me so that he can get ready for school. She especially enjoys when he throws her around up in the air, lifts her up so she can touch all the lights, and puts her on his shoulders so she can pull his hair. When he comes home from school, she will watch him walk all over the house, just staring at him, and getting excited when he looks at her or comes near her. She really really loves her Dad - and he loves her just as much!

My soon to be new obsession

My Mother-in-law Audrey is a fantastic seamstress and she sent me a package yesterday. To my surprise, she got me a sewing machine! I wanted to go out and buy some fabric as soon as I opened it. Lately I have become very interested in sewing because I want to make Stella lots of cute little dresses and outfits. Now I can...or at least I can try. I don't really sew. I made some boxer shorts in 8th grade home arts class, and my Mom helped me and my sister make some shorts when I was in probably 5th or 6th grade while we were at my Grandma's house over summer vacation, but really I can't sew. Now I am very excited to learn! Look forward to some posts of Stella in her homemade clothes!

Thanks Duane and Audrey!!!
