Busy times

:Oh gosh where to start. Well we had the Nichols family reunion which was nice. It is always good to catch up with the family. We had it in Ashland at the park this year which is different because for the last 25 years it has been at the farm, but everybody showed up and we had a good time. It would have been nice though if the rain could have held off.

:Patrick, Shawn, Wesson, Abbi, Lorelai, Gabe, and I all went to Mason's 1st bday party. Which was a great time, and a little hectic with all the kids running around.

:This is the last week of Marketing and after a whoping 1 week off I am going to start Management. Woo Hoo. I think they should at least give us 2 weeks to recover from finals gosh.

:Wesson turned 2, and we had a party for him. he was very excited by his 4wheeler and his camo. You should have seen him with his camo hat on his four wheeler carrying a catfish it was very funny.

:The same weekend as Wesson's bday everyone was moving. Sean & Cristy moved into a trailer from the apartment complex and Abbi moved into Ashland. Let me tell you it was a crazy week and Claire put on facebook that they are trying to buy a house. I always think its funny when everyone does something all at once, and its all over facebook. Anyway Gabe is excited because he now has his very own room with his daddy where he didn't before and he got a new bed. I think he was excited bout the bed he seems to tell everyone. :)

:There has been a little bit of bed switching going on at my house too. We have gotten Gabe and Wesson's room clean and orginized as well as converted Gabe's bed from a crib to a daybed so he is very happy that he can get out of it whenever he wants. We also gave Shawn a car bed which I think he is pretty excited about. The boy loves cars the movie so what could be more appropriate.

:Saturday was a big day we went to the Pumpkin Festival and Lorelai's bday party. It was a long day but the boys had a great time and then we all went to bed early.

All three boys :)

The Last Few Weeks

Well school has officially started we are almost halfway thru this sesion. There is a little homework out of the book, which my teacher actually wants me to read. Midterm is tomorrow and on top of that we have been working on a group project.

We had a Bias Family Reunion. Which I don't have pictures of yet but we had a great time and Gabe found someone to play with :) There was lots of food like always.

Two weeks ago I went to the hunting cabin with Patrick and they guys, I wasn't sure what to expect but I had a good time.

Home sweet home

I even caught some fish :D

Gabe drew me a picture this morning. I was so amazed when he told me it was a Boat. He is getting so big. It of course went straight up on the fridge :D

Sentences

Lately Gabe has really started to use sentences rather that just  a word or 2.

Here are some of Gabe's newest sentences:

(stops dead in his tracks, and puts hand behind ear) You hear that?
(waves me over) Come on Mommy I show you.
Mommy look what I got!

I just cant get over the fact that he uses sentences and the little hand gestures that go with them just tickle me :)

More stuff thats been going on

I went to see Harry Potter with my mom. I had already seen it but I always go see them with her. We needed a girls date :D

Gabe is 2-1/2 I truly can't believe its already here. My boy is getting so big.

Gabe knows his alphabet. He doesn't like to do it all in a row the other day in the car he was going from O-Z over and over again I thought it was really funny because he doesn't want to do the first half. He can count to 20 with a little bit of help some of the teens confuse him. and he can recognize 1-10 :)

Being Silly

I thought I would just post some pics of Gabe & I being Silly together on Thursday. He likes to play with the camera just as much as his mommy does.

Yea we are silly deal with it. :P

A little catching up to do

Lets jump right into things. On the second I had to go to the dentist and have a filling yes that's right I had a cavity but I will have you know that it was my FIRST ONE like ever, I was disappointed but I guess I did make it 22 years without one so I did pretty good. It is sad however to not be able to say I have never had one. Oh well I guess things change.

This week it dawned on Patrick that deer season is right around the corner. He has been trying to get ready like crazy I guess he thinks he has to get everything ready all at once. So the other day we went to bass pro and got him some new arrows and he got Shawn a new bow, the two of them have been having a great time practicing. Then Patrick decided it would be nice if he could have a new bow. I don't remember who gave him the idea but on to craigslist he goes...anybody out there have a Hoyt bow...yada yada yada, and sure enough he found someone. So last night Patrick, Gabe and I went to Jeff City, we took the Glock and the trade began, a little chit chat and a shoot of an arrow and we are good. So now he has a new toy. Of course the first thing he does is switch over his sights and all the important stuff. No time to waist lol. You would think deer season started tomorrow. Any way first thing this morning hes out shooting his bow. It's so funny how excited he gets but I'm glad hes having a good time.


Today I am at the apartments just like I am about every Tuesday this summer. Its a pretty slow day we just have one apartment that we have to get ready, no big deal.

So here I am sitting at the desk when I realized that school stars back in a week. I am so not ready to go back I have been enjoying my break. I guess I will just have to suck it up. I hope Marketing isn't a hard class I guess we will just have to see what happens the first day to get an idea but I really don't like waiting for things like that.


What is going on in the world of Gabe. Well I bought him some bat man toothbrushes which he seems to love I gave one to Sean and one stays at the house. He is learning how to brush, he isn't very good but he does what he sees me do but heaven forbid if I try to help him brush a different side of his tooth or something. Mr. Independent lives at my house.

I have switched him to pull-ups. I am hoping that being in pull-ups will make it clearer to him that he needs to poop in the potty. I am struggling trying to get him to switch over to the potty it would be nice to switch to Underwear soon. I want potty training to be done. Pretty Please.

I stayed home with Gabe on the 11th. Sean & Cristy went to the Doctor to find out if their baby is a boy or a girl, and let me tell you Gabe wouldn't be thrilled sitting at the hospital all day. Anyway we had a nice day together, just the two of us. Oh and I bought Gabe new shades :D


When Sean & Cristy were done Gabe went over to find out if he was going to have a brother or a sister. Which is still confusing to him I don't think he quite understands the concept of "or" so he tells me brother or sister all the time so now we have to teach him that it is...are your ready? A brother. So sometime around Christmas Gabe is going to have a brother little Logan Matthew. I am excited for Gabe he love babies it's so cute to see him help. He was really good with Lorelai so I am not worried in the slightest. Well except he does love his attention so hopefully it wont be a problem. He is so sweet when he tells me that "Baby in Cristy's belly". I think he is looking forward to it. It is hard to explain a baby just showing up all of the sudden to a two year old.

Oh and I had it pointed out to me that it is weird that I care about the baby, but the fact is that Logan is Gabe's brother and family is what matters and the baby is important to Gabe and that's all that matters to Mama. So there. :P

Oh and last but not least I got a new headboard this week. Well it's new to me anyway. This isn't the greatest picture but with the lighting I had in the office this is what you get.
