Happy Birthday Jackson Robert Stevens

Happy Birthday Jackson!!

We recreated the Candy Land board game for Jackson's party. What a great time designing, creating and building with the kids. I think we all had a great time making this come together.

King Candy

Lolli the lollipop Fairy

Jolly the Gum drop Dinosaur

Ginger Bread Bean Bag Toss

Gloppy Chocolate fountain. A huge hit, even with the adults.

Candy Buffet. Willy Wonka has nothing on us!!

The boys playing tug-o-war with out "licorice" rope.

Jack's sweetheart for the day

Shot of Rainbow Bridge. I think this was by far the best party we have ever had. With the Darth Vader party a close second, maybe even a tie...

Let's see what the next party has to bring.

FINALLY!!

I am finally updating our blog. We have all been really good. Dominik and Jackson are enjoying their summer (or what you call our summer- there has been no sunshine lately). We have been fortunate to have our niece Andrea stay with us for the month of July. It has been awesome having her. Me and Trav actually got to go out to a movie and dinner with friends and no kids.

Stella is getting so big. She is almost 4 months old and we are loving every moment of it. She is rolling over like crazy and grabbing everything she can. She is very vocal and loves to just sit and "talk". The boys still adore her and I am so happy that she is going to have 2 bodyguards for when she starts dating. Travis is still going strong with his job and it has been such a blessing. He has been surfing a lot lately and he is really enjoying it. This Friday Trav orchestrated an Elder's Quorum pine wood derby night. He has been really excited for it and of course his car has been ready for a few weeks. Everything is going well with our callings and we are enjoying serving those in the Cardiff ward.

Well, I told LeAnn that I wouldn't spend a lot of time on talking, so here are some pictures. Enjoy!!

Travis can still jump (a little).

Someone gave the surfer a change of scenery!


Jackson's newest favorite toy!

Stella is our little champion fighter.





Any guess who needs the haircut?


Stella's #1 fan. How sweet!

Best Weekend EVER!

I am seriously behind in updating this blog with the events that happened two weekends ago. We had by far the best weekend. We jam packed it with a ton of stuff, but we had lots of family and friends and lots of activities. We had the Cluff family here, along with Jack and LeAnn. We also had Jarrod and Staci, along with Jim. It was a GREAT weekend. We had Jackson's birthday party, soccer and Legoland on May 1st and had Stella's blessing on May 2nd. Here are some fun pictures from that weekend. Enjoy!

Stella's first time at the beach.

Travis painted this for Jackson and he, Jack Jr. and Rozanne made the cake.

This was such a fun party. As always, Travis went way above and beyond.

Dominik LOVES playing soccer. What's even better is that his best friend Davis is on his team.

The boys LOVE Legoland! Dominik says that he likes it better than Disneyland. He must just be on a lego high.

The blessing was so great and Stella was SO beautiful. I love my little angel!



Thank you to everyone who came and shared this wonderful event with us. We love all of you and are so grateful for you in our lives. Thank you again!

Stella, how do we love thee...

Stella is 2 weeks old today and we have enjoyed every minute of it. She is such a cutie pie and such a good baby. I definitely enjoy holding her and snuggling with her. I love that when she is wide awake and someone else is holding her she will look for me when she hears my voice. I love that when I sing to her she looks right at me and she'll smile (and no it is not just gas). I love that she brings out the softer, gentler side of Dominik and Jackson. I love the way Trav melts when he looks at her. She has been such a blessing. I am even enjoying dressing her in all of the beautiful pink clothes she has. We love you Stella Bella!

Here are the super cute letters my friend Becky helped me make to go above her crib.

Here are Stella's biggest fans!
