Life Today

Time has been flying by, I can't believe it's March already! We have been up to a lot of no good lately. Here are a few pictures of the past few months.


 In January, Owen came for a visit, and Gabi had a blast with him. She still asks for him all the time. We wish they lived closer so they could play all the time!


 Gabriella discovered her new favorite place, called Jump Around Utah. They have inflatable play houses and Gabi loves it. Lol, it's so fun to watch her play there.


 She practiced her driving skills at a car show with Grandpa, I think she's going to need a few more years of practice it was a little scary!!


Gabriella was so excited to go sledding with Daddy, until they got to the hill :))




Gabriella and I enjoyed some girl time with Grandma and Laura while we got pedicures. 


We took a quick trip to Idaho. It was a great get away and we all had lots of fun!


No trip to Idaho would be complete with out playing with Grandma's cows.

December Madness

We had a great Christmas holiday! Gabriella was a blast this year, it took her a while to warm up. But after about the third present, she had the hang of it and then there was no stopping her. She was tearing into everything, it was so much fun.




Uncle Johnny came to visit and Gabriella was in heaven, she hasn't stopped talking about him since he left!


We took Gabi bowling with some friends, although she didn't want to share the lane ;) She thinks this is pretty much the greatest game ever.



We went to zoo lights again this year and it was by far the best year ever! The weather has been crazy warm so it was so much fun!




Crazy Gabi, she will only let Tyler push the stroller when he is around. LOL!


Cousins!
It was even warm enough to take the four wheelers out for a day. We had a ball, Gabi could have stayed on those all day. 


Gabriella's cousin Owen is visiting now and they are having so much fun together. They are too cute with each other, so funny!

Fall 2011

I have no excuse for my lack of blogging this fall other than pure laziness :)) But we have been busy, here are a few pics from the last few months. Gabriella started a dance class back in September. She is taking pre-ballet this year and after a few months, she fell in love with it and now she can't get enough.



In October, we took our last family vacation before Trevor went back to work. We decided since Gabriella had put up with her Mom and Dad's trips all year we would take her to Disneyland.

She didn't know what to think at first, I think we may have scared her a little since we were so excited, but after the first few hours, she finally got the hang of it and then we were trying to keep up with her.



Playing in Minnie's kitchen

Making silly faces with dad in line :)

Gabriella's favorite character this trip was by far Pluto. She was in love with him, she wanted to kiss him on the nose every time she saw him. Her other favorites were of course Mickey and Minnie. But she didn't want any thing to do with the princesses, in fact I think they scared her.


Gabi's favorite ride was Winnie the Pooh. I think we rode it about a dozen times and it never got old for her!!



Holding mom's hand because I was afraid of the ferris wheel ride






One last hug for Mickey


We had so much fun on our trip. Gabriella even did well on the car ride, I think she was so excited that the car ride was no big deal. After we got back, it was back to reality Trevor started his new job at Goldman Sachs at the beginning of November and we haven't seen him much since. I am so glad we took this one last trip before life kicked back in. 


Now this crazy girl is stuck with me all the time and I make her do weird things. Such as in this pic, she is strapped into a seat on the back of a bathroom door :)) Gabriella also started a sports class once a week. She goes with 3 other boys and she tries to keep up with them. They play soccer, basketball, and run around on scooters. Her favorite is of course soccer. Some of Gabi's other favorite things right now are:
  • Dora videos
  • Mickey Mouse old school videos
  • Her dogs
  • Telling me "no"
  • Sprite
  • Reading books
  • Cousins
  • Grandparents
  • Playing hide and go seek
  • Ring around the rosie
  • Swimming
Some of the funniest things she has said lately are:
  • "Mom I like your fuzzy jammies cause they make my mama feel soft"
  • "No I do like it"
  • "Mama, stop talking"
  • "Copper and Coco are my favooorite"
  • Her all time favorite word is no such as, "no do my hair" "no wash my hair" "no put on my shoes" and many many more

It's been a while

Well we finally made  it back to the U.S. and Gabriella is in heaven with her family!! I haven't posted very many pictures from our last trip, so here are a few more.


Gabriella running by Westminster Abbey, where the Princess was just married.




China Town in London


After London, we flew over to Munich. I think Gabriella liked this horse!



German food is the best!!
