My Little Sunshine turned 1

I can't beleive she is already 1 year old but we celebrated Gabby's birthday on the 7th. I was able to somewhat pull off making a Minnie Mouse cake for her. After family arrived and we sang Happy Birthday, she got to dig into one of the ears. Here's the before...

And the messy but adorable after!

She absolutely loved all her gifts. She was spoiled by her grandparents! We love you Gabby! Thanks for being our sunshine!

Memorial Day

Our Memorial Day was jam-packed this year. We had a bbq lunch at my sister, Corey's. We ate yummy food and the kids played to their heart's content!

Then, we went to Grandma and Grandpa Russell's. Will sure loves that trampoline!

And presenting...the master chef, Karen. Benj's mom is theee ultimate cook! Yum!

Gabby sure enjoys her cousins!

Chelsea and Chris brought their tee-ball gear and Will got to swing a few with dad!

We definitely had our meat intake by the end of the day! Thanks Russells and Marsiglis for a great Memorial Day!

Yeeehaw!

The Saturday of Memorial Weekend, we went to the first annual Pony Express Rodeo. We had a great time and it was done so well. The kids loved it! Gabby kept holding her arms out and just making all sorts of noise! It was hilarious!
You can't really see it but there's a guy wrestling that steer!

My 2 good-lookin' cowboys!

Zoo-rific!

Our neighbors, the Bartletts, invited us to the Zoo and we had a blast! Will got to go on the carousel!
I love these ones. Seeing it from their perspective, eh?

Oh dear! (Believe it or not, this was Benj's first visit to Hogle Zoo! You wouldn't think he grew up in Salt Lake!)

Our ape neighbors!

Needless to say, it was a nice visit!

Tutu Cute!

My friend Dayna, is a photographer. She wanted to have pics of these tutus so she can sell them. She took all of these adorable pictures of Gabby! If you wanna check out her photography blog to see more of her stuff, it is dayzyphotography.blogspot.com

Will wanted to join in too!

Dayna had balloons for the pictures. Will was the designated balloon holder!

I'm so glad they turned out so well and to have my chunky little princess!

Another One!

Ok, so as most of you saw from the last post, we are expecting yet again! Yes, it was planned and we are thrilled! I'm due November 13, so chances are we'll have 3 under 3 for at least a few days ; ) I'm feeling good so far and am already getting a little ponch!

Easter Fun!

As you can tell, we went to our fair share of Easter Egg Hunts! Will loved it! Sometimes he was so excited, he would take the eggs he picked up and put them in Gabby's basket. What a sweet brother! We went to our first one at Grandma and Grandpa Z's
Gabby loved being put in front of an egg to pick it up. The trick was getting her to let go!

Our next hunt was at Grandma and Grandpa Russell's. As if they didn't have enough sugar, Will got to have a creamie. MMMMM!

Gabby will be the cutest big sister ever! Happy Easter!
