8 Months!

Last week Gabbi hit the 8 month mark, so we decided to have a day-long birthday bash. We hired a clown to entertain her while she ate her breakfast.

Then we had a sprinkler princess dance for her.

The sprinkler princess was a little shy and uncertain of the cold water at first.


But Gabbi cheered her on and the sprinkler princess performed an amazing show.


Gabbi is so much fun right now, army crawling everywhere, and loves eating "real" food. She has a third tooth coming in, and is a very content baby. She loves anything that is not a baby toy, and thinks her siblings hung the moon. She is at her prime in baby deliciousness right now!

On Friday Bernard went to school, Bella was at Grammy's, and Brian took the day off (because having only one child is a vacation) so we could go enjoy the weather and the view at wine country gardens. It was yummy and relaxing, and Gabbi did great. My beloved enjoying a lovely glass of red.




Gabbi really likes to make out, and we are happy to oblige.

Friday Fun

Yesterday I took Gabbi to sears to have some photos made. Obviously sears does a so-so job, check out how badly they framed her in most of the pictures and some of the shadows, but it was very cheap (as in I spent $8 total). I decided to wait for fall and have my favorite photographer shoot all the children, then we can use them for Christmas cards. Here are Gabbi and Bella in the same dress (too thrifty to buy a new one), Bella was about 3 months older. Check out the difference in hair.

Then there's this guy.


Quite the clown is he.

He is Risen!

Happy Easter! Here are some pictures from our Easter celebration.


The kids checking out their loot, which consisted of bible man/ bible girl masks and capes, and lots of chocolate.
The classic bible man and bible girl poses.

Someone's taking her pose very seriously.


Someone's not so sure about her Easter presents.


That's better.

The bible children hunting for eggs.

There wasn't any one good picture of us together, so here are all 3 bad ones.




Gabbi with Aunt Melanie, check out that windy hair action.

Gabbi checking out grass and leaves for the first time.



John 11:25-26

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die."



Hope you all had a wonderful day!
