Gabbie Girl

Gabbie will be seven weeks old tomorrow. She is such a joy. She now sleeps so well and is calm and quiet most of the time. When I was pregnant with her I had no idea what she would look like, but I was convinced that she would be a peaceful little sweetheart. And now that she is here, I'm convinced I was right. We love this girl so very much.

Sister Love

Her are the girls playing together. I LOVE seeing Mollie with Gabbie. She is such a sweet, adoring big sister. I pray everyday that they will love each other more and more and will grow to be best friends. They are so blessed to have each other!!!

Future Cheerleaders

We took the girls to dinner at the Ram on the Tacoma Waterfront and happened to be sitting next to a table full of cheerleaders. The were wearing purple and gold with Vikings logos. Naturally, I thought they were from Puyallup High School. But I started noticing that their attire was VERY nice, with Reebok and NFL symbols all over. So, I started thinking that PHS must have a ton of money...

Mollie, of course, got their attention and they fell in love with her. She even got one of the girls to take her shoe and sock off to show off her nail polish! Finally, I figured out (from their accents)that they were not from PHS, but from Minnesota and are NFL cheerleaders! Super fun! The girls were super sweet and very excited to take pictures with our girls. I think they fit right in and maybe a little cheerleading of their own is in the future! (Well, if they get daddy's rhythm and flexibility!)

Mariners vs Red Sox

Last weekend Jeremie and I got to spend a little one-on-one time together for our anniversary. Ok, it wasn't really just the two of us, but it felt like it since we only had Gabbie with us. The game was a little boring until the 8th inning, but then the Mariners pulled it together and won 4-2. It was tons of fun. So much so that we are now talking about how we can get away on a real vacation without any kids next summer. Anyone up for taking two kiddos?! :)

Mollie Goes to Camp!

Mollie and her best friend, Addison, went to camp for the first time this summer! It is called Lil Whipper Snappers and is put on by the YMCA. They got to go to camp for two days for a couple of hours. The theme was "under the sea", so they got to make glittery starfish and a beach scene in a shoe box. So fun!

Summertime Family Fun!

For my birthday, we headed to the Woodland Park Zoo! I have been wanting to go for the last three years, but for one reason or another, we just don't seem to make it there. We all had tons of fun and Gabbie was such a trooper. At just four weeks old, she managed to stay happy most of the day in 80 degree weather. Mollie, of course, had the most fun. She would have run from exhibit to exhibit if we had let her. And surprisingly, she requested going to see the cows and pigs (in the petting farm) the entire time. Forgetting all the cool, unusual animals like crocodiles, hippos, and giraffes, she just wanted to see animals we can see in our own backyard (not literally, but we do see horses nearly everyday!). Here are some pictures from our outing!

Here are two pictures of each of the girls at one month. They obviously look different, but look so much like sisters! Can't wait to see what Gabbie looks like as she grows. Both girls are so beautiful and we love them so, so much! They are such a blessing to us!!!

Happy Fourth!

Here are some pictures of our family fun on the Fourth. We went to City Blast at the Puyallup Fair Grounds with family and friends. Mollie got to play on bounce house toys and we all got to see a fun show and fireworks display put on by Puyallup Foursquare Church. We also had a BBQ at our house. Mollie got to enjoy a smore. Notice how much ended up on her face. Good thing she was wearing a bib! :)
