Gabe is 4!!

Four years ago today, after 21 hours of labor, an amazing epidural and a c-section my baby boy was born!

Some of his favorites are:
Color: Red
Show: Scooby-Doo
Game: Skylanders

Weight: 37.5 lb
He can count to 20 and say his ABCs

Food options have come so far in the last year. We have found Mac n cheese that he can eat as we'll as some breads and a nut free version of peanut butter. I'm glad that the world is accommodating all the people with allergies there is a whole section of special foods to shop in at Hy-Vee which is awesome. He is starting to be able to eat atleast some of the meals that the rest of us eat!

Happy birthday sweet boy, Mommy loves you!

CRAZY WEEK

This week has been a whirlwind. Saturday and Sunday I did wedding stuff the girls and I went shopping for bridesmaid dresses. Mom and I went to the wedding gala and got info on all sorts of vendors I will need. Friday Patrick and I went to get tuxedos picked out so we know what everyone is going to wear and everyone can get fitted now. Since I went to the wedding gala we got discounts on all of them and Patrick gets his free. I was pretty stoked.

Monday means back to work and school. Work is crazy hectic! It's a new year which means its tax time, and all the deadline are at the same time!! Ahh. Quarterly reports, w2s, 1099s, organizers, sales tax, and I'm sure there is something I'm forgetting. It has been anything but quiet this week.

Abbi and I are trying to get into couponing again so hopefully that goes well, we have been out of it for so long. I would really like to save some extra money (and Patrick has been bugging the crap out of us, lol).

Patrick has gotten a membership at the arc recently, he's trying to loose some weight, and when we are kidless, which is one night a week, I go too. It's been kinda nice. I've been walking 2.5 miles. Walking doesn't seem like much but my body can totally feel the difference the next morning. Patrick tells me I'm out of shape(how rude) but it's kinda true. I do not work out at all. This gym thing could be good for both of us (but don't tell him I said that).

Oh and the awesome deal of the week: some Ariat boots Patrick found at Goodwill! They fit, they are in great shape and instead of the $150 you would pay at a boot store I paid, are y'all ready for this? $6 that's right I was felling pretty awesome after that.

Christmas and the new year

Christmas was wonderful. Lots of time with family is always nice.

My Favorite Present, Patrick and I got a new Bed :) the old one was very sad.

We got another great picture of the 3 boys :)
We got all three boys taekwondo lessons. Wesson decided against it. Gabe likes it but doesn't quite get it and then there is Shawn who is totally in love with it. But the little ones can always try again which is nice.



Well it's a new year and the world didn't end which is awesome. lol (I wasn't to worried) It's crazy busy at work, a new year means tax time, and in addition to all that I'm planning our wedding by May. Crazyness! I am super excited and the rush to get everything done hasn't quite hit me yet so I'm still pretty calm.

Pre-Christmas happenings

We have gotten a couple of great pics of the 3 boys all together lately which is funny because it is normally so hard.

Christmas is coming and you can tell by the number of trees we have put up. So here are some pics of those too.

We also went to see Santa this year. I can't express how excited I was after we got the pictures taken I totally did a little dance. ALL THREE BOYS SMILED!!!! I know crazy right! Last year Shawn wouldn't go anywhere near Santa, Wesson screamed the whole time and Gabe just dealt with it. This year good pictures from ALL of them I still can't believe it. I only have hard copies of the pictures so I will have to snap some of them, so I can post them.

And I have Christmas lights on my house for the first time since I moved out of my parents!! That's right my totally awesome fiancé, Patrick got out and put them up!! I was so excited!! I love coming home to a house that glows :)

Halloween

Here is a picture of all the boys in their Halloween costumes and one of Gabe at the pumpkin festival. Sadly we didn't get to take all three boys this year.







Shawn's birthday

Wow! How behind am I? Shawn turned 6! It's just crazy how fast they grow up.
