Favorite things....

My new favorite things is a good ol' Reuben sandwich. Seriously, I just had one of these for the first time a few weeks ago and can't seem to get enough of them. We have some corned beef in the fridge that I am going to cook and make into my own personal reuben sandwiches...YUM

Happy Halloween!

This year Gabi was a ladybug. She really enjoyed saying trick or treat and loved getting and eating candy. Her favorites are smarties and the big tootsie pop suckers. Happy Halloween!

Happy Gabi....

The other day we were at the park for a birthday party. As Gabi was playing and having fun she said to me "Mama, I'm soooo happy!!" So cute! She loves to sing the Happy Birthday song and blow out candles! If it's your birthday watch out she might wanna steal the show. :)

She has also been having happy dreams lately. She woke up from a nap and announced "Fun night night!" We can only assume she had happy dreams. :)

Glad you are sooo happy Gabi!

I'm grateful for....

My husband and conference weekend.

I was the last of our family to have the flu. Dear hubby took care of me and luckily I didn't have anywhere to go because it was conference weekend! Didn't get to watch much but thankfully we have the internet to catch up on it! LOL

Grateful Sunday

Grateful for new couches! LOL

Grateful Sunday

Grateful Sunday is an idea I have read about on several blogs and each named it something different. I love this idea and while I have tried doing a grateful journal/thought book it never really worked out. I think once a week will be much better!

* I have wonderful siblings who are wise beyond their years at times. Even though the age gaps between me and them are large (5, 11, 15) I am excited as they get older and our "differences" become less and less.

* I was pulled out of church several times today because our daughter wasn't behaving. I was upset because I couldn't fulfill my church duties but then I was grateful that even have a little one.

Gabi's first joke...

The other day Gabi made her first joke.
Hi Dada...No MOMMA! then she laughs and does the joke reversed to Dada too.

Here's to our silly little girl!

My favorite things...

It has been a while since I did this post but one of my favorite things is little girls with cute hair! Gabi recently started letting me do "pretty hair" on her. We make a little production out of it. She sits on the sink in the mirror while I do her hair. When her hair is done she looks at herself in the mirror and says "Oooh pretty" and then gives her self a kiss in the mirror. :)

Right now it is pretty basic either a full ponytail or if she sits a little while longer I will do half up and half down. So cute!

The other day she went to a birthday party and when she woke up from her nap I told her it was time to go to the birthday party. She looked at me and asked "pretty hair?" How could I resist! LOL.

Gabi at the beach!

Gabi's first trip to the beach was Coco beach in Florida. I always thought her first trip would be to the Pacific but I guess she got lucky! :)

She loved the beach and wandered further and further in! She wanted to go body surfing with the best of em'!

Nick and Lindsey get married!

Many happy years to come for this couple! We had fun in FL, it was hot and humid but the food and fun made up for it! ;) Hopefully once I can get to edit some more pics I will have some more up here but for now this will have to suffice!
