Now She Gives 'er

First Family Photos

Cool Invention

Since we've had babies we've gotten to use a lot things that other parents say didn't even exist when they had their babies. One of them is this contraption that has a mesh bag. You put fruit, ice or anything you want really into this bag and they can eat it without getting big chunks to choke on.

Abbey will demonstrate with some yummy watermelon - a cool summer treat (messy but fun!)

We just HAD to...

Sittin' Purdy

Aida has figured it out!! She can now sit all by her big girl self and we are so proud of her. Sure, she may wobble but she's got the idea. She balances her weight so she won't tip over. She loooooves sitting in her little pool on hot days and splashes away while Abbey watches and learns.

First Waskesiu Trip

We decided to take the girls on a mini vacation to Waskesiu. It is a destination that is very close to Chris's heart (as well as the entire Gibson clan). His Grandpa Gibson spend many summers up there with the family and had taken many, many Waskesiu photos. Chris misses him very much and loves to share his memories with us when we're up there. He wants the girls to know all fun he's had up there and pass on the memories. It was special to say the least.

We only stayed 2 nights but the weather was beautiful and it was so quiet as the tourists and cabin owners weren't up just yet. We saw many elk and deer and even saw a bear (Chris said it was the first time in about 10 years for him).

Wonderful Friends (and darn cute too)

Abbey, Aida and I have made some life long friends via SPOTTO. We are so lucky to have met Jill and Tara and their children. We love our get-to-gethers to share stories, tips and have a few giggles. All the kids are so well behaved and love to play together. It's only going to get better as time goes on.

The most handsomest boys... Casey and Mitchell (Daddy says the girls can't talk or look at the boys). The smiles that come out of these two are priceless!

The most well behaved little lady EVER... the happy, adorable Maggie

The Happy go Lucky little lady Leah, who once plunked down on the blanket is so content to play and chat.

And the mover and shaker and giggle maker (she keeps me laughing) the adorable not so little anymore Ruby

Sometimes she hurts our Ears!!

Man, Abbey can sure hit the high notes. I think we may have a little Mariah Carey on our hands. She's so funny and those little chicklets make her face look so different but so darn cute!
