Lovely Aquarium!!!

We went to the Pine Knolls Shore Aquarium this past Saturday with Dianne and Scarlett. We had so much fun. I think one of the best parts of the day, was watching the excitement on both Gabby and Scarlett as they were walking into the aquarium, running everywhere, so excited to see it all. It was a blast!!

My favorite picture has to be the bottom right picture in this one below with the stuffed Alligator. Gabby is so funny! She was showing us what it looked like.

Daddy was trying his hardest to get her to go "Aaahhhhhh", but it came out more of a surprised look!! Ha ha!! =0)
They had this cool play area opened this time where the kids could come and color or play with toys. So we stopped in for a bit! It ended up being "work" for Dianne and I. =0)
I think Gabby would have enjoyed the ocean a bit more, however she kind of got dunked and almost swept away a few times, and so most of the time she spent running up onto the sand and trying to bury herself, or on Daddy's back. So silly!! =0)

Pool photos!

Here are a bunch of pictures from our little outdoor activity the other day. Gabby is just so silly!! I can't believe how pregnant I am, and I have another month. Ay!! =0) (A little pregnancy update: Little man is between 4 1/2 and 5 pounds. He is already head down and I'm all baby. I've gained about 12-13 pounds the whole pregnancy so far, which is a huge blessing for me. Gabby is dealing with Mommy not being able to do a lot of physical activity with her, I guess as well as can be expected of a 2 and 1/2 year old. For example, she let me lay on the couch for about 45 minutes this morning, while she watched some cartoons. My little trooper! Other than that, we are super excited for little Cavan to join us soon!)

She seriously thought she had a bug, even though it was a leaf. =0)

My little doll!!

My little princess decided a couple of days back that she wanted to put on some of her dress up clothes. So...let's see, we have a little oriental costume(Grandma and Paw Paw gave this to her back when she was a infant, now it fits =0)), Tinkerbell costume, princess shoes, and her Elmo camera. That about tops it off! =0)

I started making this dress about 2 months ago. I got the zipper in and had started the front with it's little pleats. I couldn't get the pleats to match up, so I took it to Jacksonville with me so Mom could help. I ended up forgetting to work on it with her, so she called and asked if she could finish it. I said, "Yes please"!!! Haha!! Thanks Mom for finishing it! =0) Gabby was very willing to smile after Church before we took it off of her. So sweet!!

Daddy was very sweet for us on Tuesday, and put one of Gabby's yogurts in the freezer making it her "icicle". She ate all of it that night after supper. We were quite surprised. =0)

I should have cleaned these off a long time ago!

I finally cleared the photos off of my phone, all 226 of them!! Thanks Mom for letting me use your little card! =0) Here are just a few that I thought were so fun, I needed to share!

Happy Mothers Day!!

Happy Happy Mother's day to all of you wonderful women out there that have/had the privilege of raising Spirits of our Heavenly Father. It is such a wonderful blessing to know that we have been given such a beautiful responsibility and that he trust each of us enough with such a precious gift. =0 Love to all!!

and the End!!! What a awesome trip!!! =0)

...in the Middle...

In the beginning...

Lots more to come!!!

Seals are so scary!!!

We had the wonderful opportunity to go to the Zoo with Paw Paw, Grandma, and Aunt Dana on Friday. It was so much fun!! We went up Thursday evening and then went to the zoo on Friday!! This video was our favorite of Gabby and her first few encounters with the seals. She is so funny!!! =0) I missed her first reaction, however number 2, was just as hilarious!!

Pictures to come!!!
