Rodeo




The Friday before Gabby's birthday by some miracle, Michael managed to get off of work a few hours early so we could go to the rodeo with Grandma and Papa.  We arrived at the rodeo early enough for parking to not be a hassle and had plenty of sunlight left for Gabby to enjoy the Ag Farm. She "planted" seeds, "milked" a cow, "fed" the chickens, "sheared" a sheep, and sold all I her produce for some money and bought some cracker with her money.






Then she saw some newborn farm animals and watched some baby chicks hatch and take their first steps, which she found to be the highlight of her entire rodeo experience.  Finally we went to watch the rodeo.  She was highly interested for oh, about 5 minutes.  Then she enjoyed some cotton candy, peanuts, and a few walks around the stadium with Daddy.  She stayed up extremely late and seemed to enjoy listening to Keith Urban.  She sat in Grandma's lap and danced.  Grandma told Gabby that Keith Urban was her boyfriend.  Gabby thought about this for a while and then informed Grandma that the singer couldn't be her boyfriend, Papa had to be her boyfriend. Gabby did amazing throughout the entire experience.  We will definitely have to go to the rodeo again next year.  Yee Haw!

Thanksgiving 2013

Thanksgiving Day we all with to Grandma and Papa’s house to enjoy a traditional Cajun dinner and it was delicious.  Gigi, Blakeleigh, Brandy, Nanny, Uncle Patrick, Grandma, Papa, Aunt Lisa, Aunt Christine, and Keith were all there to celebrate with us.  Gabby enjoyed the day immensely playing with Blakeleigh the entire day and even trying to snuggle with her during her nap time.  Gabby made everyone sing "Happy Birthday" to Mommy and she blew out the candles Then Brandy and Blakeleigh spent two nights with us.  We had lots of fun going to Mud Pie to make handprint Christmas cookie plates and hanging out at Grandma’s house.  Gabby enjoyed very much singing Happy Birthday to Mommy with the family and blowing out my candle.  The night of my birthday Gabby spend the night with Grandma and Papa and Nanny, Uncle Patrick, Mommy and Daddy went to the movies together for the first time ever.  It was a very fun weekend.   T...

Sacrafices for My Angel

Everyone knows that being a parent is full of sacrifices and some are more difficult than others. So far being a Mom I have "sacrificed" my skin thanks to stretch marks, my youthfulness, thanks to the worries that cause the new wrinkles I notice weekly, my pretty legs thanks to the varicose veins I received during pregnancy that never went away, the comfort of sitting thanks to the back pain I have had ever since pregnancy, a good night’s sleep, and the list goes on... However, none of these things truly feel like a sacrifice (although I do miss sleep and my non-damaged body) they are just part of being a mommy and I wouldn't trade parenthood for anything! Today, however, a very difficult sacrifice was made, although I know it was the only choice. Ranger, the dog Michael and I had for 7 ½ years, was given to a new home today. He bit Gabby on her head when she was about 9 months old and then about a week ago he nipped at her and unfortunately that was the last straw. M...

Pink or Blue Skittle

Okay so as requested by many, I am posting a picture of my belly. A few people told me that they needed to see my belly before guessing the sex of the baby. When Michael took this picture last night we were both convinced my belly grew from the time I woke up. Please comment whether you think it's a boy or a girl or email me and let me know what you think because I would love to make a little scrapbook page of who guessed what. We will let you know October 30th, whether or not you are correct.
