Halloween 2011

Spiderman.............do I need to say anything else. Yes, Gabby wanted to be spiderman with muscles this year. I couldn't talk her into being anything else. She is a very strong willed kid, when she sets her mind to something you aren't going to be able to change it. I post a few pictures. One of her and her best friend Claire, one of her and Brent, and one of some of the neighborhood kids at the neighborhood Halloween party.

2011 Pumpkin Patch

Two weeks ago my parents came to visit. It was a crazy weekend. That Friday afternoon Brent was in a small finder bender. He is fine but the car was messed up, so we had to get him a new car. I love his new car. On Saturday, we went to the pumpkin patch. We always have a good time there because you get to take a hay ride to go pick the pumpkins off the vine, feed the farm animals and ride horses. We always have a really good time. I loved having my parents here.

Public Safety Day

A few weeks ago was the Paulding County public safety day at the local airport. She saw planes, fire trucks, motorcycles, police dogs and a helicopter. Gabby's favorite part was when she was able to get in the ring and fight some kid. Pretty typical of her.

Princess

Although Gabby is for sure a "tom boy" she still loves all the girl stuff.

Our Family

Just thought I would post a picture of all of us since the photo are normally of Gabby. It isn't the greatest photo but we had to send one to school for her family tree.

Labor Day Weekend

As usual I am behind on posting pictures. The Labor Day weekend Gabby's twin came to stay, j/k actually the Woods all came to stay but Campbell looks like he could be her twin. We all went to Stone Mountain. We got to ride the train, play on their big playground and see a 3D movie. Gabby does not like 3D movies, when the water sprayed on her she freaked out.

A Trip From The Leys

At the beginning of August my friend Carrie came to visit with her daughter Phoenix and son Zen. While they were here we went to the Atlanta Children's Museum which is a great place for kids their age.

Sand Box

Gabby has really enjoyed her Sandbox over the summer. I was quite hot most days so we had to go out really early in the morning.

July Weekend in Tally

The weekend in July was with only Brent and Gabby to spend time with his side of the family. They had a good time visiting with everyone. On Friday, Gabby was able to go fishing for the first time. While they were out of town I had the weekend to myself. On Friday I went out to dinner with a bunch of girl friends. Saturday I locked my self out of the house and went and had a pedicure with another friend. I was a great weekend. But by Monday I was ready to see Brent and Gabby again.

June Trip To Tally

In June you all know that we came down for the weekend to celebrate Ethan's birthday. We had a good time hanging out with the Stine side of the family. On Friday we went to the Jr. Museum and saw the funniest goat ever, plus we got to see the bear up close.

Father's Day Weekend Part 2

Father's Day Weekend

I know it has been a while since I posted anything so I have a few months to catch up on things. As expected you all know that I haven't taken many photos but I will make post of what I can.

For Father's Day weekend we kept Campbell while Bryce and Ed spent the weekend in Atlanta. We had a good time with him. We think that he Gabby look the most alike of all the cousins.

Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day weekend our community pool opened. Since then we have been everyday. Gabby is swimming like a fish. She loves it. We bought her some goggles and she is just swimming all over the place. The only scary part is when she just runs and jumps in the deep end. Anyways, Brent's dad, stepmom and Grandmas came to stay with us for the weekend. We really enjoyed having them. We cookout on Saturday, Sunday they went to church with us and the rest of the time we just hung out and went swimming. Thanks for the visit Brannings!

Happy Mother's Day

For Mother's day I got my hair highlighted. I really love it.

Gabby's Last Baseball Game

The third weekend in May was Gabby's last baseball game. I think she had a good time this season, but we will probably try something different next season.

Thomas The Train

The second week in May we went to see Thomas The Train in Chattanooga. Our friends Anne, Mason and Grady came up to hang out with us for the weekend and went with us to see Thomas. The kids had a really good time riding on Thomas. Each night we put the kids down it was nice to have time to just have an adult conversation with Anne. We were able to catch up on everything. I am so glad they came to visit. We love having visitors.

Atlanta Braves

At the beginning of May we went to our first Braves game. The weather was great and we all enjoyed going to the game. We ate lots of food and Gabby was able to pet a really big dog. I had to make Gabby's shirt because we couldn't find any little shirts that looked girly. Can't wait to go again.

Easter 2011

This was the first Easter that we let Gabby color Easter Eggs. She had a really good time, but she really loved finding Easter eggs. We still had hunts weeks later.

Panama City Beach Trip

A little over a month ago Gabby and I went to Panama City Beach with my family. We had a really good time. It took Gabby a while to get used to the water but by the end she was loving it.

Happy Birthday Gabby part 2

On Saturday we celebrated Gabby's 3rd birthday with a Pinkalicous party at our house. We had 10 little 3 year olds running around our house. They had a blast. They did get to play pin the cherry on the cupcake, which they loved being blindfolded. We had to beg Gabby to open her presents, she just wanted to play. I had a fun time decorating for the party. Thanks to my mom for making the invitations and wands. For party favors they all took home Pink pancakes, a tiara and a princess wand. I think all the kids and moms had a great time. I love you my sweet Gabby Doodle.
