To The Stark Family Website

Well, it's been quite awhile since I have worked on my website, almost 2 years, but many people have asked me if I had been keeping up.  Well I decided to go ahead and update for you all.  I also decided that since space is limited, that I would dedicate the whole website to Mikayla Rose, after all, she's the real reason people come to look anyway.  As I mentioned, it's been awhile, I think the last time I did anything was at her 1st birthday, but hopefully I can catch you all up.  As of January 2nd, 2003 (today) Mikayla is a very happy, healthy, rambuncious, and TALL 3 year old.  ****sniff sniff, she's 3 already****  I'm sure you all remember when she was just my itty bitty 6lb 12oz baby with pitch black hair.  Well she's alot bigger, around 32 pounds, and her hair is long and a really light brown, almost blond, and still absolutely gorgeous.  I am going to try and put up as many current photos of our family, many of Mikayla, as I can, but in the meantime, go ahead and go to the old photos I had up to catch up.

to see the photos I had up on my old website.

Part of the reason Mikayla is a happy little girl is because we finally took the plunge and bought a house.  She now has a nice, permanent recidence that she can relax and be stable for awhile.  We now live in Puyallup Wa and our family consists of Mikayla Rose, Daddy and Mommy, and our three kities, Abby, Henry, and Issabella.  We are hoping to get a dog one day, but our HUGE backyard is not fenced in, so we have to take care of that.  Yes, Mikayla has a wonderfully large backyard to run around in and be a kid.  Unfortunately, we decided to move in December, at the wonderful time of year when everyday it RAINS in Seattle, so she really hasn't been able to go out and play in the backyard to often.  That will change in the spring and summer, I'm sure of it.  See our remodeling!

Our anual family picture, taken December 2002.  Mikayla Rose is 3 years old in this pic.  Don't mind me, I'm haveing a bad body decade.  I thought I was a little too big for that sleigh, but others (JEN) insisted I wasn't, and this was the result.

On November 5th, 2003, my sweet loveable lumpy, aka Henry, was struck by a car and killed.  I was/am completely devestated.  He was one of the sweetest cats I ever had the privelage of living with and one of my best friends.  I am going to miss him terribly, but we have planted a magnolia in the backyard so we will always remember the sweet and loving Henry.

Well, the year has just become 2004, and my baby is 4 years old.  Time flys way too fast.  She is now heavily into Care Bears, (I remember playing with those when I was little **sigh**) Spongebob Squarepants, reading, playdoh, and basically anything that has to do with are.  Her favorite thing to draw is a silly face, and at 4 years of age, she's pretty darn good at it.  See the pictures below.  Her favorite foods on the planet are baby carrots, cheese (namely string) and chicken nuggets, which is funny because when she was a baby, she wouldn't touch breaded chicken.  For her 4th birthday, her aunt Rachael got her a kitten.  A little black and white male that reminds me so much of Henry it's scary.  She decided to call him Ray, after the auntie that gave him to her.  Baby Ray is very active and very sweet and is blending into our family very well.  He unfortunately thinks he can be friends with Abby and Izzy, but they don't agree.  Oh well, life goes on.
