Oh Boy!
We had our 16 week sonogram today and got confirmation that it is a boy! Gabe is really excited to have a brother. At least he says so now. I'm not sure he even knows what it means. Every time I tell him that there is a baby in mommy's tummy he looks at me like I am crazy, then around the room and says "where's the baby?" I think two boys is going to be a handful but the fun they will bring will be totally worth it. I can't wait to meet the little guy. I wonder if he will look just like Gabe, only time will tell. Now we just need to find the right name...
Family Reunion 2010
For eight years now my mom's side of the family has had a huge family reunion every other year. I have been lucky enough to attend them all and this latest one was completely awesome. We spent an entire week on the beach in Lincoln City, OR. The weather was awesome, it didn't ever get above 75 degrees.
Gabe had the time of his life. Between all the attention, all the kids to play with and all the outside time, he played hard and slept hard. He even fell asleep twice while eating lunch. Yes, I made sure to take the left over food out of his mouth before putting him down for his nap.

This year the reunion included an abundance of activities including, but not limited to:
- a relay race
- a kickball game
- a scavenger hunt (amazing race style complete with the traveling gnome)
- a sandcastle building contest
- Bingo
- Bunco
- Phase 10
- Tee shirt stenciling
- Tutu making
- Wake boarding
- Water skiing
- Deep sea fishing
- and lots more...
We ended up with over 600 photos and have posted them all on our Flickr site (see link to the right). Here are a few of my favorites.

Gabe completely amazed by the ocean
Just look at his face and tell me this isn't one happy kid
I can't wait for the 2012 reunion!

Long time no post?
Yes, it has been a bit too long. I am going to try to make a better effort at getting some more posts up, even if it is just some photos.
Gabe and I took a last minuet trip to SLC, UT for mothers day. It was the first time in 8 years since I had been able to spend mothers day with my mom. We had a great time.
Gabe is learning so much so fast. Just today I asked him, just in passing while I was crawling on the floor, if he knew where Rylee had left her bottle. He said "yeah" and ran and got it from the next room and then gave it to her. I just couldn't believe it! I knew he was understanding more and more but I had no idea he could do that yet. He is always full of surprises.
Gabe has recently been really fond of wearing shoes and slippers. He will bring them to me to put on, even if they don't match. Here he is the other day playing, notice the one slipper. This is a normal sight here in the house lately, no pants and one or both slippers or shoes.
He's been working on getting his diaper off now, so we'll see what fun that will be.
He also loves to play XBOX with daddy on Saturday mornings while mommy sleeps in.
