Gabby's Pony Tail




Gabby's hair is now long enough for a pony tail! It is a little pig tail, but very cute and curly. She is also into wearing her hats right now. Gabby is talking up a storm and is convinced that everything goes to Oz (with the magical Wizard of course).

Father's Day 2010






Today was Father's Day. We had a early morning but decided to make the most of it and made homemade waffles with fresh strawberries, raspberries and blueberries! We then went to church and it was the first time Gabby didn't cry (or even whimper) when we left her - I guess she is growing up! Gabby is into shoes right now and really likes to wear her black patent shoes :) In the morning, as soon as we get up, she goes to the shoes and picks out which ones she wants to wear.

This outfit is one of the new ones from Grandmother Ann. Gabby enjoyed pointing out the bees on her dress all the way to church. She likes this dress but the blue one that she got at the same time is her favorite :) It's blue - and blue is her favorite color! Gabby is starting to wear her hair in a ponytail! I will try to get a picture of it because it is so cute.

I thought I'd take a picture of the balls that are constantly all over our floor. Gabby LOVES throwing the balls. The only thing is she has not quite grasped the concept that she should throw the balls forward and sometimes they fly out backwards. She loves to carry the box of balls to the kitchen and dump them there and then run through the pile of balls kicking them. Oh well...she likes to sort and count them so we will just continue to pick them up all day long!

Gabby has acquired a couple of more cows to her herd and loves them all. She is learning her letters and is getting close to knowing them all. She also got her first tea set and is ready to start hosting her very own tea parties! Gabby got to hang out with the Tom boys yesterday and is starting to be more like "one of the boys". She rides the trikes with the best of them! Carter takes very good care of her and makes sure that she eats all the fish she can possibly want and that she gets lots of hugs.

Watermelon Girl







Gabby is ready for the pool. She is wearing her hat and goggles now!!! We are so happy :) She loves the pool and her new swimsuit from Grandmother Ann (although she is growing so fast that I'm not sure it will make it through the whole summer)!

Yosemite




We went to Yosemite - while it was a beautiful day, the trip was not easy. Gabby was a little sick and traveling up to altitude did not help - neither did the 3 hour car ride. Gabby took her first picture (the picture of the waterfall).

Memorial Day Weekend





We took a road trip for Memorial Day. We stopped in Bakersfield and Gabby got to see her cousin Rory and hang with Grandmother & Grandfather. It was a beautiful day and a great visit...she especially loved chasing the dogs Peter & Michael around the yard!
