So here is an update. Derrick is doing well and liking the Air Force. Loving being a dentist!!! I am running around picking up after my family. Gabe is soooo Gabe. Loving life he will be 3 in January. Oh wear has the time gone? He still loves doing anything that daddy does and daddy is getting more and more tired of it. Nate will be 1 in March. He is not crawling yet but gets around by rolling and pulling. He is very vocal and has quit a temper. He really lets you know if he wants something, and if you don't do it right away then you are going to hear it. But he gives lots of kisses and smiles. And our newest adition to outr family if we wearnt already busy enough is Looie our 6 month old pug puppy. Whow he also has an aditude. But Gabe really loves playing with him and I love cuddling with him. So all in all our family is doing great! And loving life.

I love my kids!!! It sure is hard being a mom, but I really love my kids! It is so wonderful that we can be with our families forever!

So an explanation on the pic with Gabe in the wagon. So the wagon was sitting in the kitchen and he put his little Tow Mater chair in there and all of this books and then sat in it and started reading books. So I had to get a pic of that.

Fall Break

For fall break last week we went to Denver to visit the Spendloves. It was Shelby's birthday and Gabe enjoyed playing with her toys just as much as she did. We had so much fun while we were there. The ride took about 7 1/2 hours, but it was a lot shorter distance than going home. While there we mostly relaxed with the Spendloves, went shopping with Charissa, played video games, watched Planet Earth, and Gabe ran all over the place playing with everything. Gabe especially loved playing in Shelby's room with all of her stuff. While there we realized how much we miss the mountains and the better air. Oh, we also went up to a mountain place called Red Rocks and took pictures, so hopefully we will get some good family pictures from that.

While Derrick has been on break we have been excerising more and we go on walks often. Moe comes with us. On our first walk Moe go a little tired, so we gave him a lift.

So Gabe finely got his first cut that we had to go to the doctor for yesterday. His dad was watching him while I was finishing up getting ready. Little did I know that that meant not watching him. Gabe was sitting on my big ex cerise ball in to back by himself and got off balance and hit his eyebrow on the book shelf. Derrick started yelling "Jess! Jess! I need you come help!" He brought Gabe in the bathroom and he was bleed from his eyebrow. Luckily he's a pretty tought little boy and after we stopped touching him he started playing on the furniture. Jumping back and forth from our been bag to our couch. He did start crying again when they weighted him at the dr. office. But all in all it could have been alot worse. I'm surprised that he hasn't gone into the doc's for enjories yet. I'm sure there are many more to come.

So this is my first time blogging. Chrissa tagged Gabe. So Gabe is a buzzy little boy. Always jogging around the house. He loves to watch me cook( while I am holding him), he loves to get one of Moe's toys and have Moe chase him but he never lets go, he love to play out side( during the day he brings me his shoes about 100 times until I finally give in), he really love to play with his daddy and give him kisses, he loves to brush his teeth, he loves to be in mom and dads room while mom is not, he loves to say " all done", and he loves his stuffed animal " Mr. Frog ". What a blessing Gabe has been to me. He has such a love for life. I think that I need to remember that more often when he is getting into something he should not be.
