Lovin' her dolly!

Gabbie got this doll last Christmas but hasn't really shown interest in her until recently. She loves to carry her around, hug her, feed her, and take naps with her. She likes to give the dolly to Bob or me and we take turns holding her and loving her, then Gabbie takes her back and rocks her and pats her while she's saying, "oooh, baby." So cute.

Field Trip!

We went to Bishop's Pumpkin Farm for our first preschool field trip. It was a ton of fun and perfect weather. Unfortunately, my camera's battery died (my bad), so these are the only photos I have. Hopefully I'll be able to get some pics from the other boy's moms. =)Sitting in the front row waiting for the pig race to start.

And they're off!!
Gabbie had lots of fun, too.

Good Moments

Davis and Gabbie have their really good moments like this. I came in to see them coloring together. Too cute.

Six Flags!

Bob's new job sent everyone to Six Flags down in Vallejo a couple weekends ago. The day was gorgeous and we had an excellent time. Davis especially loved the dolphin show. Waiting for the show to start.

Davis would laugh hysterically everytime the dolphins would jump or splash the audience. It was contagious. =)
Gabbie also really loved looking at all the animals -- especially when they would come up close.
Davis braved some rides. The first one we went on I was a little concerned it was too fast for him and it would ruin him for life, but he got out and said he had a ton of fun. Then, he wanted to go on this boat ride with Bob.

Buddies!

Davis and his cousin, Rhett had an awesome time this trip. They were playing with each other all the time. They especially bonded when Rhett stayed the night towards the end of our trip. He and Davis were playing and swimming and just having a blast with each other and Grandma and Grandpa.

Posing before jumping in.

Yummy breakfast.
My sister-in-law Lauren did Gabbie's hair really cute so it's out of her eyes. She taught me and I love it! Thank you!
Gabbie already starting monopolozing the phone.Pausing her conversation long enough to say, "CHEESE!"

Go Cougs!

So, I know it's totally late, but I still wanted to post more of our trip to Washington last month. Especially our chance to go see the Cougs beat the Huskies up in Seattle. My mom set up some babysitters for the kids so all the adult kids could go up to the game together! It was such a blast!


There were about 100 of us in just our section who got tickets together, but there were about 10,000 or 15,000 other BYU fans around the stadium. It was awesome. I still didn't go to the bathroom by myself, but it was fun to see all the blue!

Bob couldn't even look my way for a photo for like 1 second. He's that passionate (obsessed)!My brother-in-law, Tom, sporting the blue wig. This is when BYU messed up.
And here's when BYU was doing awesome! =)
Our seats were pretty high up, but it was cool to see the play develop. My sister, Amy. I went to sit by her so I could talk to somebody. Bob's not real social at these things. =)
I caught him looking only because I was on the other side of him. There's my brother, Adam, and his wife, Lauren.Leaving the stadium so happy! Yeah! They won!
