Painting and Puppets

Another painting. I need to get better brushes.




these puppets were really easy, just a half plate stapled on the back to fit over the hand. :)

New (to us) Car

Say hello to our new car. Jeff's car was on it's last legs, and it was paid off, so we went looking, and got a good deal on this Pt Cruiser, which I have always LOVED.
It's soooo comfortable, and roomy. I love it! It's a good family car too, so instead of just switching cars in the driveway if we want to go out, we can just switch gabey's car seat, and ride in that one. :)

Art Projects

Gabey and I have been painting....

Charlie and Lola

Charlie and Lola is a fun show on Playhouse Disney, and I'm absolutely hooked on it. It's soooo adorable, and I love the little girl's voice. Gabey and I watch it all the time.

It's based on a children's book series, and I'm really interested in getting some of the books. I love the drawings, and the stories.

I also like Phil of the Future, that's more like a regular sitcom that you would have seen in the 80's, nice and innocent. It's really cute though, and Jeff likes it. We tape it and watch it together.

It's funny that I like kid's shows better than so-called grown up shows. I don't watch any shows like that anymore, they're all just full of bad jokes, and grossity (lol, I made that word up, I think).

Hot Hot Hot

Whew, I've been spending a lot of time in our bedroom. It's the only room in the house that's air conditioned, lol. I'm so thankful to have it. It's so comfortable in there.

CAMOlottes

My friend over in Thimble Thoughts made the coolest coulottes for her daughter, they're camoflauge, so she named them CAMOlottes! Isn't that the most inventive COOL name?

Tons of Pics

We went to the zoo again yesterday. Gabey came to me in the morning and asked to see the dinosaurs. Mommy has been wanting to go to the zoo with us for a while, so I called her up, and took her with us. Gabey is in LOVE with the dinosaurs exhibit.











These are just some goofy pics of Gabey at home...

cool plaque that daddy gave me. i love it!

Ultrasound Today

I'd like you to meet Gideon Charles. :):)


He's right on schedule for October 16th, he's perfectly healthy, and a whopping 1 pound.

Ultrasound Tomorrow

I finally called for an appointment, and they had a cancellation for tomorrow to get an ultrasound.
I'm so excited. Jeffie was actually able to get the whole day off, and so now we don't have to worry. We have to go to the Clinic tomorrow also, to sign a consent form for Gabey, so we'll go from there to Hillcrest, where we'll get the ultrasound.

In the beginning of this, I was afraid that if I found out it was a boy, I'd be really disappointed, but today, I guess since we're finding out tomorrow, I really started thinking about it....

and I have a real calm.
I know now, that either way, I'll be totally contented.
If we are having a boy, I am absolutely good with it.
We even talked about the name Gideon again and confirmed that it would be his name if it's a boy.

So, tomorrow, you will see pictures, and meet either Grace or Gideon.

My new Toy

I decided to go check out sweeper vacs at Walmart, and this one was awesome, and was on sale from 47 to 37, it was the last one, so I grabbed it.

I like it already. It vacuums up the hard floor so nicely, and just plugs in to recharge.

You flip it around, and it becomes a little swiffer wet jet type mop. The really good thing, is that the pads are washable and reusable, so that's less to buy. I'll just have to buy more cleaning solution once in a while.

Just think of the steps it saves!!!
With regular sweeping, you have to...

1. Use the broom, and sweep, guiding everything into a corner. You most often miss spots, and most often accidentally sweep too hard, and fling the junk everywhere in your attempts. LOL.
2. Get on your hands and knees at the garbage pile, and use the broom and dust pan to gather the stuff up. You always have the small debris escaping right under the dustpan, and you have to keep moving it to try to corall everything.
3. Dump the dustpan stuff into the garbage
4. Clean out the broom into the garbage, which also flings dust and the like in places other than the garbage can.

Cars and Food (what else is there?)

So, Gabey are you driving today?



Saturday, Chrissy, and we went to Goody's, and I got some cute pics of Gabey being silly. We went shopping after, and had such a good evening.





These are for Daddy. There was a car group at the restaurant, and Chrissy got these pictures for him with my camera. Here you go Daddy. :)






What a month for rainbows! We had another double rainbow last night! I took pictures, but they look just like the one I put up before, lol.

Dream Night at the Zoo

The hospital gave us an invitation this cool event at the Zoo. We went last night, and had just the most wonderful time. Gabey loved it, and walked the second half of our visit, even up a hill! He loved the Dinasaur exhibit, and made us take him there twice. He was so cute all night and had some great silly moments, we were just so happy.



The Ranger's dog was awesome, and gave Gabey a huge licking kiss! I missed getting picture of it.




i loved the salt all over his face, he just enjoyed the pretzel so much!


The Dinasaur exhibit was Gabey's favorite! This one spit at me, and I screamed. ROTFL.


we loved this tiny owl, he's 11 years old!


the T-Rex was his favorite!




We got to ride the train for free too!




fun hot dog dinner


some of our great doctors, and our social worker, Linda


i was so happy to see gabey walking so much. it's more excercise than he's had all month.


Gabey had me take pictures of him in front of every dinasaur, while he growled!






We just had the perfect night. I'm so thankful to have been able to go.
