The Spiderman Party for the 38 Year Old Man!!

With guest in town, we decided to have a big party for Kiley's birthday! So to Walmart we headed and loaded up on Spiderman party supplies (they didn't have Star Wars!). While Kiley was at work, we decorated the house and prepared his requested meal of pot roast and homemade mashed potatoes. Now, this is a real treat since I NEVER cook! Not only did I cook, but I did the dishes as well. Usually the deal is if I cook, which is never, Kiley does the dishes. Since it was his birthday, and he is so old, I did both. I did have a TON of help from my sister Amy and her daughter Paige. With out their help, this would not have been possible! Jake decided to play his video game and watch TV. We were also thrilled to have Papa Larry join us for the celebration!

Even little Gabbie got to enjoy her favorite meal...

... and the party!

Paige really really liked the cake...

... and so did Jake!

Gabbie zonkered out in her Steve Erkel pants! What a doll!

Overall, I would say the party was a BIG success. Although, as you can see, our little Gabbie was just plumb tuckered out from all the festivities!

Happy Birthday Kiley! We hope you had a wonderful day!

We love you!

Happy 38th Birthday to Kiley!

Today is Kiley's 38th Birthday! Gabbie and I would like to wish him the best birthday ever! We are very lucky to have him as a husband and father!

WE LOVE YOU!!!!

My Little Family

I have a very talented niece named Amber. She did a little photo shoot for us and the pictures turned out amazing! Here are some pics she took! I can't believe this is my little family!

THANK YOU, AMBER!!! and for those wondering... Yes, she is available for hire! You too can have great family photos, just like me!

All Smiles!

Gabbie started smiling about 3 weeks ago. It is so stinking cute! She now smiles all the time! If she is awake and full, she is all smiles! She has also started to coo and talk a little. It is so fun to see how much she is changing and growing. It is crazy how fast it is happening!

I just love her sweet little face!
Look at that smile! No wonder I have to kiss this face all day long!



The dogs have done great with our new little addition! We don't let them get to close yet, so they are still investigating trying to figure out exactly what we have brought home! I am sure that as time goes one, she will play with them more and more. It will be fun to watch them interact throughout the years!

I was so focused on Gabbie in this video, I didn't even know Dallas was there!

I am so grateful and lucky to have such a sweet, beautiful, and happy little girl! Oh, my Gabbie Grace, how I love you!

Meeting More Cousins!

Kelsey, Paige, Gabbie, and Jake

Gabbie also got to meet two more of her cousins this trip! Jake and Paige were down from Boise for the wedding! Paige said it best right before she left, "Even though Gabbie just met on Wednesday, she already likes me!" I think it is safe to say that Gabbie already LOVES her cousins! She would keep an eye on Paige at all times, wanting to know where she was. I cannot wait to watch her grow up and play with all these fun kids!
