What a hair day!

Yesturday we stayed at home most of the day. Good thing because Gabby was having a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Hair Day (by the way that is one of her favorite books). Most days Gabby's hair looks crazy but this day it was extreme. I wish it would decide if it wants to be curly or straight. She decided she wanted to wear my hair band which didn't help it at all!

Potty Success

I am so excited last Monday we sent Gabby to school with only one diaper for nap time. She wore panties the rest of the day. To my surprise when I picked her up she hadn't had any accidents. The rest of the week she successfully went Pee pee but she hasn't quite gotten the Poo down. That hopefully will be coming soon. I am so glad to not be changing diapers all day anymore. So, on Monday when I picked Gabby up I took her to pick out a cupcake for doing so well.

Addison's 3rd Birthday Party

Today we went to Gabby's friend Addison's birthday party. She had it at Jump for Joey's in Hiram. It is very similar to Zoikes for you Tally folks. Gabby loved hanging out with all her friends and mommy and daddy had a little break since she had people to play with.

Labor Day Weekend

The Woods were in town for a soccer tournament on Labor Day weekend. So, on Saturday we were able to go watch Syvannah's soccer game. On Sunday, our church had church at the park with a picnic and bouncy house. Gabby had a great time. That night the Wood's came back over to hang out at the pool and BBQ. On Monday, we all went to a local water park called Sunny Valley Beach. It was kind of small but perfect for the kids. We had a really great time having everyone stay with us. We miss hanging out with our family. So, when they are in town we like to do as much with them as possible. Believe it or not, I didn't get any pictures of the family. So who is shocked......jk

Miniature Animal Farm

The Friday before Labor Day I took off work to take Gabby to the miniature animal farm with some of our friends from the neighborhood. It was a neat place since everything was the same size she was. Although she was scared most of the time. The kids were able to go in with the animals and feed them. I guess Gabby didn't like the fact that they could look her straight in the face.

Daddy's Softball Game

Two weeks ago Gabby and I got to go watch Brent play softball. He recently started playing for our church. This is just a picture of Gabby before we were ready to leave. She looks all grown up in this photo.

August

I just realized that I hadn't posted anything for the entire month of August. So, here goes. The first weekend in August Brent and Gabby went to Tally to visit family. Which means.......mommy had the whole weekend to herself. The first two day were great, but by day three I missed Brent and Gabby.

The other weekends we have been mostly hanging around Dallas. We have met some new people so we had a few birthday parties to go to. Last weekend we invited some friends from work over for a day at the pool, dinner and a late night of poker. At the beginning of the month 3 other ladies and I started walking the neighborhood twice a week. It has been nice to get to know them better and get some exercise in. One thing we did do this month was try to take Gabby skating. Needless to say it was a flop. Brent and I couldn't stop laughing at how funny Gabby looked. It didn't last long, Gabby couldn't stay on her feet.

The best thing that has happened this month is Gabby has decided she was ready to start using the potty. She really only goes pee right now, but you have to start somewhere. She has only had one accident. We are so proud of our little girl. Now Brent and I can't keep eating her potty M&Ms since she really has earned them lately.
