Happy Easter!




Today was the quietest Easter we've had since being blessed with Gabby.  We stayed home and Grandma and Papa came over to celebrate and eat lunch. While I was preparing for lunch and Michael was still asleep, Gabby snuck into her Easter basket, tore it apart and began eating jelly beans, all before 8:00 a.m.!  Once Grandma and Papa arrived we exchanged hugs and then finished cooking dinner, which was delicious and Gabby did not even taste.  All I think Gabby ate today was two "Easter eggs," cookies, bread, and candy.  Pretty hard for this mommy to take!



After lunch we went on a walk and looked at houses for sale in the neighborhood.  Gabby loved exploring the houses and riding in the wagon.  Then it was time to have an Easter egg hunt.  It was very hot, but since it was just Gabby it was pretty fast.  Her surprises ranged from stamps, to coins, to Littlest Pet Shop toys, to a few candy ones.  The we paqued eggs, ate peach cobbler, and cleaned up a little.  Gabby of course was super excited that there was a surprise in each of her eggs.  Since Gabby didn't go to sleep until late the night and wasn't in the best of moods, she actually napped.  When she woke up Grandma and Papa had left, so we enjoyed playing with Gabby and watching movies.


This Easter was very nice and relaxing (although we missed family).  I hope everyone had a fabulous Easter full of events to make for lasting memories.

My 3rd Mother's Day

It's hard to believe that Sunday was the third time I've been able to celebrate Mother's Day.  This Mother's Day was especially special because I became a godmother to Aiden and Addison, some of our closest friends two children.  We woke up that morning got dressed and headed to church to watch the baptism of some of the cutest kids I ever met.  They church had us sit in the front row for ease of baptizing, but it made it far more difficult for us to contain our kids.  The baptism was at the very beginning of the sermon.  Less than 5 minutes after the baptism Gabby made a noise talking to Daddy, (I doubt the people next to us could even hear) the minister came up to me and offered to show me where the day care was.  She was very polite and sweet, but I knew I could not exactly refuse.  I have never left Gabby with a stranger, not for 30 seconds, so I walked in to the nursery and Gabby instantly began coloring.  Once Addison appeared (because the m...

Christmas Eve Elf Shenanigans

I thought we would give you a glimpse of some of the silly things Mr. Elfis (our Elf) did Christmas Eve before returning to Santa Claus.  We went to Dallas on Monday and luckily our elf (who Gabby named Snowball, then Snowball Snow Flake, but whose name is really Mr. Elfis) hopped in a car seat so he could make the journey safely to Grandma and Grandpa's and meet Ralphie, Emma and Brody's Elf. Here are the shenanigans they got into while waiting for Santa to arrive and while we were all asleep: Proof that the elves took these photos all by themselves.  If you look closely between the first two photos you can see Mr. Elfis' hand move pushing the button.   Snacking on the kid's gingerbread houses. Drinking Gabby's milk hanging upside down. What were they thinking?! Soaring with the eagles (Gabby's favorite bird). Ralphie riding a horse. Ralphie sneaking in a stocking. Mr. Elfis sliding down the banister ...

JJ Watt

Anyone who knows Gabby knows she is a crazy cat baby and that is no exaggeration.  She believes she can speak cat, chooses clothing with cats on them, calls her cat, Lila, her sister, wants to be a cat babysitter when she grows up, and literally has at least 100 toys that are cats.  This girl is obsessed and has been since she was two.  Any time we ask her what she wants as a gift her answer is always a cat. Well her dream came true one day recently.  I kept dropping not so subtle hints that cats were only $5 at the SPCA.  One day Michael said lets go look at kittens. I literally thought he was just thinking Gabby would be in kitty heaven and we were going to look, but when we arrived Michael kept saying things as though we had decided to get a kitten. So after a very long wait we went and looked at hundreds of cats and kittens, but little JJ Watt stole her heart the moment she saw him and that was it we had found our newest family member. ...
