On Sunday we celebrated Father's Day by letting Grandpa fry fish for us at his house. The fish turned out perfect, in his opinion. We have to admit, they were pretty tasty. Here is Stella blowing a kiss to that Old Man.
Sharing some laughs with Grandmere.
Grandpa can't be left out...
How many Pourciau's does it take to feed a baby? (variations on this question are a theme around here, as you will see later)
Grandpa and Stella reading his Father's Day present.
Again we ask ourselves, how many Pourciau's does it take to remove a baby from a high chair?
Grandpa rescued Daddy's old horsey from the attic and saddled him up for Stella.
Ride 'em, Cowgirl!
Yee-haw!
Hugging that sweet pony.
Stella thought the horse did not go fast enough, so she decided she would push it.
Still pushing.
This is Stella's "Could you PLEASE stop documenting every second of my life on film?" face. Sometimes the paparazzi really gets to her.
Who's in the barn? It's Sheila!
Happy Father's Day!
On Monday we went to Toys 'R Us, where Stella sang the classic, "I don't want to grow up, I'm a Toys 'R Us kid. There's a million toys at Toys 'R Us that I can play with! From bikes, to trains, to video games, it's the biggest toy store there is! I don't want to grow up, 'cause if I did, I couldn't be a Toys 'R Us kid." She sang this with perfect pitch, I might add. Since Stella is still a little small for a bike, and video games are off limits for life, she had some fun trying out a pint-size stroller.
Her baby was inconsolable, so she had to take her out of the stroller.
On Tuesday we visited the library for "Cajun Dance" at 10 a.m. At least that is what it said on the calendar of events. Stella's face in this shot conveys her confusion at "The Cupid Shuffle" being touted as a cajun song. None of the cajuns she knows dance to "The Cupid Shuffle."
They finally played some Stella-approved tunes and she was able to get down with her bad self.
That night Stella was all set for some fun in her froggy pool, but a bigger fish invaded her small pond. Apparently, Damon is really serious about practicing that open water swimming.
And here she is stirring her yummy soy cream! 
Stella also heard that Grandpa and Grandmere were planning an exciting vacation, so she thought about stowing away in their luggage...
One of Stella's latest accomplishments is saying, "Cheese!" for photos. While is it heart-wrenching due to the fact that she cannot actually enjoy this tasty dairy treat, it is also humorous because she makes a very cute but not very photogenic "Cheese Face." (See next photo for a sample.) Strangely enough, as a child I can remember making this exact face and frustrating my mother's photographic efforts. What makes a kid think that closing their eyes makes their smile bigger I don't know, but apparently it has seemed logical for at least 2 generations in this family.
