So i have completely neglected our blog and i apologize to all who have been longing for something new. I am going to start off the new year with a quick post and a link to some pictures.
We went to Florida on NYE to visit with my family down there for a few days. A great time was had by all and we are hoping to get there again this fall. The link i am posting is full of Christmas and Florida trip pictures. if this doesn't work i will try to post again tomorrow with more information but probably less pictures.
hope everyone is doing well!!!

Mom's Day weekend
I am the lucky recipient of a g.c to Massage Envy as my Mother's Day gift. I can't wait to use it.
Although it was Mother's Day weekend right after my birthday - it was really all about Gabriel :-)
He pointed out my eyes and nose while saying the body parts correctly. He ran into the kitchen yelling ma-ma and gave me a hug!! And he had a Christmas revival - we put fresh batteries in all the toys that were "dead". Finally, we hit Toys-R-Us for the first time - he isn't a baby anymore, folks.
It was the best Mother's Day weekend I could have ever asked for!!!!

Showing off his toofs

Missy LOVES this helicopter thing Keith got Gabe last weekend when I was really sick and they went shopping. Gabe and Missy run around with this every night!

Mommy's bday
I had a great birthday. Mani/pedi, girly movie, Chinese and hanging with the boys. The next night we had a grown up evening of baseball, beer and fun. Not bad for 33.

15 month doctor visit
Gabriel is doing great - healthy, happy and a great sleeper :-)
Stats:
height = 31 inches (50%) (12 month visit was really 30 1/4 inches)
weight = 23 lbs (25%)
head = 49.1 cm (90%)
Our monster baby boy is now evening out a bit - well, except for the big melon!
He is one the best eaters ever - even started trying sushi! We are very blessed to have such a fabulous little boy. I feel like everyday is an adventure that puts a smile on my face. Oh don't get me wrong, he can be a real turkey but it doesn't last too long :-)

April at a Glance
Gabriel is very busy. His vocabulary is growing everyday and we are always amused! So here are few of the highlights from April that I captured with the camera.
Starting him young - loves playing with Daddy's football helmets
Gabe feeds himself - always! He is working on the art of using utensils for but now we end up with days like this.....Easter Sunday Mommy made homemade lasagna and he loved it!
Mommy's little helper - those drawers are full of towels, napkins, potholders and bibs so he can go nuts and does almost every day!

Iowa Trip
So, I haven't updated this in a long time.....my updates are on Facebook but I will try to keep up a bit better here too.
We went to Iowa at the end of April to visit friends, do a Pampered Chef show and see Daisy, Kate's horse. It was a nice trip and we had tons of fun seeing everyone. Gabriel got to show off all his new tricks for Gma/Gpa Busby - and they taught him some new material.
I unfortunately we sick almost the entire time we were there......darn spring cold! Luckily, while I was down and out, Keith had help from everyone around us.
I have become a horrible picture taker in the sense I forget to take them......sorry.
Here's a couple from our visit with Daisy. Rob and Branden came over to Ankeny to see us and join in on the horse fun.

Trip to the Zoo
We took Gabriel to the zoo over the weekend. It has been a year since his last trip....boy how things have changed....
It was a beautiful weekend so lots of interesting people at the zoo, along with the animals. Gabriel seemed more interested in the geese than anything else. The seals were really active so he was explaining to Daddy what they were doing.....
I also took Gabe for a nice long walk yesterday on the trails around our house. The thought was he might sleep since napping wasn't really going well (darn teething!) - it didn't work - instead Gabriel was telling stories to all that could hear....it was hilarious. But before he could get cozy in his stroller, he needed a hat.....sucks being so pasty!
