Just so you know!

We have too many vacation photos to post here. It just takes too long to upload. I have sent a digital scrapbook to many of you via email and posted the pictures to my facebook account. Enjoy!

Fort Morgan was awesome! Day 1

This is the house at Fort Morgan. Across the street from the pool and one block away from the beach! SWEET!
Mabry and Reaves in the ocean on Sunday afternoon right after unloading the car. They jumped for about twenty minutes and got completely soaked.



Gabe's first experience with sand! He loved throwing it over his head and getting sand balls and giving them to people. He also liked to steal other kids' beach toys.

new camera

This is Gabe's face when he tells me NO! He uses his index finger and everything.
Rolling in the grass after playing in the sprinkler.


I have no clue what Mabry is doing besides getting closer to the source of the water.

Okay. Postings have been light because my four year old camera bit the dust and all photos have been taken with my phone (not the best quality). My husband surprised me on our anniversary with a brand new camera, and get this---it's orange!!! How awesome is that? Anyway, here are some photos taken with the new camera.

just an update

Today is our third anniversary! What a quick, yet long ride this has been! In the three years we have been married, we have moved, changed jobs and had a baby. I believe these are three of the biggest stressors to marriage and we have managed them with grace, I think!

We have watched our children grow into interesting people during this time. Mabry is a reader and wants to be an actress/singer just like Hannah Montana when she grows up. Her back up plan is to be a teacher. She is reading Nancy Drew books, Junie B. Jones, and rereading all of the Little House books. She likes to make a mess (aka crafts). She babysits after Gabe goes to sleep so that she can play on the computer. She has learned how to use the cell phone to call me. She can multiply 0s, 1s,2s, 5s, and 10s. She can count money. She can write so that I can read it. She learned to ride a bike in 5 minutes, but won't do it anymore.

Gabe is learning more and more every day. He loves books, especially books about animals. He calls his daddy, Guy. He calls me Mama now. He still calls Mabry, baby. He can find his and anyone else's bellybutton, eyes, nose, and mouth. He likes to dance. He loves Elmo. He plays with cars all of the time. He makes the animal noises for cow, cat, dog, duck, sheep, elephant, and chicken. He calls all cats ReeRee after our cat. He will hug and make the kiss noise at you when he feels generous.
