Totally Fun Tuesday


Bowling all by herself


Lifting 20% of her body weight, no sweat

The alligator helped her roll the ball down the ally

We had a ton of fun

Gabby knocked down all but one pin!!


She decided it was also a slide

The "walker" helping her skate

Can you tell she loves him?

The furthest she skated independently

Look at her go

Approximately one second after I shot this picture she fell forward, busted her nose and lip, and we got of the rink to clean up the blood. She was a trooper.

The finale of the day: Her Tangled comforter came in

So today, as most days in the McIlroy home was a Gabby day. We filled the day full of fun. We started at the habachi grill (more for Mommy and Daddy) and Gabby ate more of my steak and noodle than I did. Then we tried to go skating which Gabby has been dying to try out but they weren't open yet so we took a detour to bowling since it was $2 Tuesday. Boy did we luck out on a cheap and very fun day of activities.

Since I am on vacation I will not be verbose, but rather allow the old adage a picture is worth a thousand words do the work for me instead.

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. ...
