Daddy and Jackie's new game

So Derek loves to stick handle in the house and Jackie LOVES to watch him since she has been able to crawl she will crawl up and try and steal the ball from him.....they both love it!! she got a little more intersted in the camera then the game while i was filming it lol

Sun shinny days.....stuck at work :(

The sun is shining the birds are chirping i am in short sleeves and caparies what a wonderfully warm day to go frolicking in the sun...................WAIT I AM STUCK IN MY CUBICAL AT WORK looking at the gray walls and computer screen for 7 hours, what a waste of an evening.....i guess the pay check, being able to pay bills and rent and food is a good reason to do it , but still i would rather be home going on a walk with Derek and Jackie but oh well!! I will stay and work and make money to live :)

Any way i love this warm weather and i think this is perfect i think it should always stay this temp no warmer no colder jsut this its perfect!!! now i have a headake which i have been getting a headake/migrane daily for about two weeks now i should go to the doctor, but i hate doctors and have always had headakes daily just never to this intensity...i supose i will just continute to hide out in my room with the curtins drawn adn lights out tell they stop or i get up the courage to go to the doc

getting married...having kids...changing friends

You know one thing that bugs me...when you get married single friends do not want to be your friends anymore beacuse your married and different! I mean what is with that!!!! if your friends you should be friends even if you make a change in your life! A change like that is one where you want your friends to still be there for you!!! This brings me to my second point! When you have a kid you lose friends too because your married friends without kids do what your single friedns do! grrrrrr grrrr grrrr this is another BIG TIME in your life when you need your friends to be there but some of them just are not! okay end of my rant :)

Moment of silence.............for Jack

So i am sad to report that 24 will not be on in 2008! It will not be back untill 2009 this is a tragedy....what will i do without Jack to save the world!! I really do not know how i will make it untill 2009 lets all take a moment of silence for jack

Sunny days for the Stells

So it was a warm day here in good ol Provo Utah! I decided it was too warm to waste the day inside with the TV on! I talked with Derek and told him we should take Jackie on a walk to the duck pond! So we took her down to the duck pond where we feed the ducks (Jackie ate the bread instead of feeding the ducks) and chased them around trying to teach Jackie about ducks...... After our walk i still did not want to go home so we went to burger king to grab a quick cheep bite to eat Jackie had fun eating fries and lettuce and trying to drink water out of my straw!!! To keep up our productive day when we got home from BK we got our swim suits on and went to the Provo rec center where Jackie went swimming for the first time! I think she just thought it was a big bath tub! But Mommy and Daddy got to play too! She loved every minute of it!! She would kick her little legs and try and eat the water! She played for about 45 minutes before we realized she was cold and that we should get her out and in some warm clothes so we took her out (much to her dismay!) and decided to go get some ice cream! So off to cold stone we went! Jackie enjoyed the few bites we gave her and had fun being out of the house! When we were leaving we decided we should go look around Shopko because have not been there in a while so after an hour there we finally made our trek home and we are now watching balls of fury, and here i am writing on here!

Dont leave cheerios by Jackie

So Sunday i learned an important lesson. I learned if you leave a box of cheerios sitting on the floor and a bowl Jackie will try and make her own cearal. As you can tell by the picture she got very few in the bowl but managed to get a lot on the ground! lol she sure loves her cheerios!! She is soo funny we love her to death!! She loves to play and get into everything!! But thats what babies do!

we got a biter!!

So today Derek was watching Jackie and she crawled up and bit his toe! He said it HURT! Lol i thought i would let you know i mean what else are blogs for?

Just a lot of stuff can we say RANDOM!!

SO i am at work and i know i need to update my blog but i can not think i a certian thing to write about so i am just going to start typing and see where this blog and keyboard take me!

We have been doign great latley not much is new except Jackie is getting teeth which brings with it a whole lot of fun for her parents! She is pretty good and only gets fussy in the evenings but we are excited for her to get some teeth and for her to continue to get big!! Oh yeah she has started to pose for the camera (well has been for a while now)! haha she knows when we are taking her pictures and she also knows when you are making a video of her too lol! she is so smart!

This is her at church she has decided that church is not fun unless we hang out with the other moms and babies in the mothers lounge! She is so funny she really knows what is going on and gets mad unless we are in there! But she is sooo cute we let her get a way with it for now!

So i am at work and my friend Caitlin (who is soo sweet she watched Jackie for us last friday so we could go out!!! THANKS CAITLIN!!) is orginizing a march against domestic violence! its amazing to me how much stuff actually goes on here in Utah! There is a petition you all should go sign i did it now its your turn! go to http://www.saynotoviolence.org/ if you sign the petition the united nations will donate $1 for every one who signgs it! This petition is part of a international campaign combating violence against women! SO all you go and sign it!!!

here are some facts about violence against women

1 in 8 in utah will be rapped! Utah has a rape rate that is higher then the national average

1 in 3 women will fall victim to sexual violence sometime in there life

91.4% of rapes happen by someone the victiam knows!
