Christmas Card Bloopers

Enjoy these Christmas card bloopers...........



I was a tired mommy after running back and forth to set the timer, I mean how do you tell a 11 month old to stare at a camera set on table with no one holding it!  In the end we picked one of just the kids! haha =)

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all my blog readers!  I hope you all have a wonderful holiday with your families and friends!  Remember the real reason for Christmas is our savior Jesus Christ!  God bless you all! 
Love,

Happy Birthday Melissa and Adam!

We had a great time celebrating Melissa and Adam's birthday's Saturday night.  Melissa's birthday was December 9th, and Adam's was the 11th!  We had a great meal, yummy cake, and I chowed down on puppy chow (love that stuf, haha).  Luke had been SO excited all day to go over and play with his cousins, he had a blast!  We took some pictures of all of the cousins together on the couch, which was pretty entertaining.  I need to get some copies of those!  Happy Birthday to Melissa and Adam!  Love you guys!

Thanksgiving 2010- Gabrielle's 1st Thanksgiving!

Sick kiddos

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at Rob's parent's house!  It was great we didn't have to travel this year!  Unfourtantley Gabby and Luke were a little under the weather that day with colds, which Gabby's ended up in a double ear infection, while also finally getting her first tooth!  We had a great time though, ate too much, and had fun visiting with family.  Luke and I were able to stop by my parent's and say hi later that night!

Halloween 2010--Gabby's 1st Halloween!

This year Luke was Mr. Incredible for Halloween, of course!  The Incredibles is Luke's favorite movie of all time.  I can't even begin to count how many times he has watched that movie, it kept him entertained many a day while Mommy was on bed rest this time last year! ;)  Luke wanted me to go as Mrs. Incredible, and Gabby to go as Baby Jack Jack.  haha.  The only baby Jack Jack costumes on the Internet were considered vintage I guess by now and were 95 dollars!  So needless to say we didn't go that route!  He wanted Daddy to go as a guy from Pawn Stars. haha.  We love that show! 
We ended up picking out a Baby Tinkerbell costume for Gabrielle as Luke loves Tinkerbell, so we thought this was a great compromise to Baby Jack Jack. haha.  She looked adorable! 
We went Trick or Treating with my sister Melissa and bro in law John and Ellen and Lauryn.  Ellen was Lightning McQueen and Lauryn was Alice and Wonderland!  We got TONS of candy, and had a great night!!  It was a lot more fun than last year when I was on strict bed rest, and did not get to go with Luke and Rob!

Luke the Fireman

Rob's Uncle Jeff promised Luke earlier this summer a tour of the fire house in Springfield.  He is now a fire investigator with the Springfield fire department, he was a fire fighter for many years there.  Well this past weekend we asked if Luke could come down to see the fire house!  He was SO excited!  We ended up touring the Chatham fire house where Rob's cousin Lance is an EMT and a volunteer fire fighter first.  Luke loved being able to get in the fire trucks and ambulances, and he loved trying on Lance's fire gear.  We then went out to the Springfield fireman's club out at Lake Springfield, Luke and Gabby had a lot of fun swinging and Luke loved the playground!  Then Rob's Aunt Donna and Lance left to go try to get us a table at D'arcy's Pint, they called us back and said it would be an hour and a half wait!!!  We decided not to do that, we will have to try to go there for lunch next time.  So we went to Cheddar's and then to a Springfield fire house where Luke got to turn on the sirens and sit inside the truck.  He says he is going to be a fireman when he grows up now.  I may have to talk him out of that! haha!  Thanks again to the Miller's for the awesome day for Luke!

Gabrielle Susan is 9 months old!

Being a sweetie!

Gabrielle turned 9 months old today!  She is such a sweetie!!!  She had her 9 month appointment today, and was 19 pounds 6 ounces and 26 1/4 inches tall!  I can't remember what her head was, but it was in the 75th percentile!  haha.  She is a healthy, happy little girl!  She brightens every day with her big still toothless grin!  She loves to say Dada and baba.  Her fave person is Daddy.  She loves to smile at him, talk to him, and even waves hi and bye to him!!  She has yet to say Mama or wave at me, haha!  I think we have a major Daddy's Girl on our hands!   She does not crawl yet, but believe me she gets where she wants to be!  She either rolls, scoots forward, pivots, or crawls backwards to things!  She is definitely on the move!!  Especially if she wants one of Luke's toys!!  She still loves to eat, she is eating some finger foods and all of the stage 3 baby foods.  She is a such a joy, and i couldn't be more proud of her!!!
