Our Tree

Gabby helped me decorate our tree this year! It is a beautiful tree and we are getting into the holiday spirit! Gabby is very excited this year for Christmas...

Jumping

Gabby loves the trampoline at school!

Gabby Climbing

Gabby spent all morning in a doctor's office and was very happy to be outside at the park. She is climbing!!! The only problem is she is climbing on the table and dancing...YIKES!

Gabby with Morning Glory

Gabby had a wonderful trip to the farm for Thanksgiving. She loved playing with Freckles, Ginger and all the other farm animals, making tea in her new kitchen, bouncing on the trampoline, climbing the stairs, talking on grandma Debi's antique telephone, and riding in the swings. Gabby especially enjoyed riding Morning Glory everyday...even bareback!!

Bigler Bowling Night

We went bowling! It was a lot of fun and Gabby was enjoyed the outing. In the pictures, those balls are 10 lbs and 6 lbs...she is a strong girl! She even rolled the ball down the lane and knocked a pin over. We were chasing her from chair to chair and down the lanes (Gordon has first hand knowledge of how much polish they put on the lanes and how slippery they are)! I must admit that I lost the 2 games we kept score...145 to 147 :( It was a lot of fun and a great family event, we'll put this one on the repeat list for sure.

Gabby at the beach

We are having incredible weather here - 88 degrees! Gabby is spending the morning at the beach. She has made some new friends and loves playing in the sand.

Gabby Swimming

Yesterday was a big day for Gabby. We got some decent video of her swimming last night and thought we would share it with everyone. Gabby really loves the water.

First Day of School

I think this is harder for mom than for Gabby! She loves it. There are 8 kids in her class, lots of teachers and as you can see - a lot of things to do!

Halloween 2010

This was Gabby's first time trick-or-treating...and the first time that mom or dad had gone trick-or treating since highschool! We had quite a group: a bee, a giraffe, an astronaut, and pumpkins. We had a good time but the bad thing is that Gabby got a lot of candy but will not eat it! We let her try a few different kinds but she would rather eat chocolate ice cream! So....if anybody want s some free candy - swing by!

Gabby learned how to say tick-or-treat very well and really had a good time. It is exhausting!!!

Pre-Halloween

Gabby got to dress up in the morning as a princess. She loved the tutu, the boots and barbie! What a beautiful princess!

Halloween Bike Ride

We had a full morning! We baked pumpkin bread, went for a bike ride to the park, dressed as a princess, went swimming...all before 11am! Gabby made sure dad pumped the tires up enough and made sure her bike cart was adequate for Barbie to ride in as well!

Carving Pumpkins

We did carve pumpkins this year! We had Gabby to help and inspect...although she was not interested in helping us clean out the inside of the pumpkins because they were "slimy inside". She was very good about helping to pick up the seeds off the floor :) The markings on her face are the remnants of her helping us draw faces on our pumpkins....she has a tendency to color on herself more than the paper or pumpkins.

We then showed her how we put a candle in them and that they help keep the Goblins away....she kept checking on the pumpkins to make sure there were no Goblins coming in our house!
