eight months.

I feel like we don't have a baby anymore, we have a toddler! She is into everything, explores, and is even nice enough to pick up anything dirty on the floor. 8 months is so fun I tell ya! She is like a sponge these days. STOP growing up! It is fascinating to me how fast they learn, makes me tear up.

Wow, we love this little lady!
At 8 months she is still in the 15 lb range, little gale.
She can stand holding onto something with one hand.
Eats solids and nurses every 3 hours.
Sleeps for 10.5 hours, eats, then goes back to sleep for another hour or two.
A top tooth popped through.
Seriously, she loves the beach and being in the pool.
LOVES it when Daddy is around!
She gives high-fives and kisses.
Makes a dove sound.
Plays peek-a-boo.
Gets the dvds out 3 times a day.

California after Christmas

The entire Stapley family headed to San Juan Capistrano for Fern's (Elissa) wedding. It was a fun quick trip!

Fern and Trevor got married on December 28 which is a very special day that is well known within the Stapley family. Grandpa and Grandma Stapley got married on that day in 1951, Amamda Stapley and Mark Earnest got married on that day in 2002, Rob and I got married on that day in 2007, and now Elissa Stapley and Trevor Bruce. It is especially special to me and Rob because his parents also got married on that day in 1982.

During our stay in California we visited the Frey's, Rob's grandparents/aunts/uncles/cousins. It was great for them to see baby Aubree at a fun age.

Rob, Aubree, and I were lucky enough to stay the night at cousin Becca and Steve's house. Danny and Aubree loved playing with each other every morning.

Fern and Trevor got married in the Newport temple. Oh I love that temple! Rob and I were grateful to attend the beautiful ceremony.

The reception was held at the Stapley's home. It was amazing! So was the food (I had thirds)!!

Oh and Happy 4 year Anniversary to me and Rob! Yahoo!

bottle duty.

Aubree is obsessed with cousin Danny.
love this munchkin.
we love and miss these guys.
cousins.

Christmas Eve

For Christmas Eve the Stapley family tradition is to have Jordan's Mexican food. We grew up on the stuff, it is our favorite!! We held this special occasion at the farm where we had a hayride, rode horses, and had a bonfire. It was so great to spend time with our family! Afterwards, we put together a bunch of gifts to give to a few families in need. What a touching experience that was for everyone! I love doing that every year.
Aubree's first time on her horse, Trigger.
Aubree is obsessed with all her boy cousins.
Love these two.
Aubree loves her Uncle B.
