Gabe Updates

A few random moments from our life...

Friday Uncle Tim came down for the day. We had lunch and then went to visit Gabe. Poor Gabe was pretty confused. He looked like Gramps, but not quite. He stared at him with a half smile for quite awhile.


 
----------------------

Pat and Bella went up skiing today. I gave them strict instructions to get a picture, but that did not happen... That means that Gabe and I had the day to ourselves. It was probably a good idea. I went to Uncle Tim's concert on Friday and last night we got a babysitter to go to a work thing, so he hasn't had a lot of mommy time this weekend. So, we spent the day just the two of us. We started out by skipping church because we both fell asleep 20 minutes before it started. Oops. We had a really great 2.5 hour nap though.

We went for a run this afternoon. I haven't done much running since Gabe was born and it's time for me to get back into that. Today we ran to the grocery store, which was a really good plan except that pushing the stroller is hard. And it was even harder once I bought two types of milk and coffee creamer... But we made it! I told Gabe that we'd play at the park on our way back, but he fell asleep so the park did not happen.


---------------------

Yesterday Gabe decided he wanted to take a bath. So he just crawled right in. Apparently he can climb now...


--------------------

I actually caught Gabe standing up the other day. It was only for a brief moment when he let go of something, but still. I am not excited about this. He is growing up way too fast... 

----------------------

Gabe still loves the dishwasher. Seriously, it might be his favorite place to hang out!





--------------------

He crawled from the lion to the horse. This does not bode well for my heart... 


He also can climb on lion all by himself. The horse is still a little bit too tall.


------------------------

He really loves to make as many faces as possible...


----------------------

Gabe got stuck in his own shirt. 

-------------------------

As much as I keep telling him not to grow up, he gets more fun the older he gets. He is seriously a funny little kid. I love him!

A Car Wash

Spring is finally here and it feels so good!! I mean, it still freezes overnight, which makes for sound very cold morning runs, but then it’s warm during the day. In fact, it was so warm, that Gabe wanted to run in the sprinkler. Pat had screwed the sprayer on so tight that I couldn’t get it off, which was the only reason he didn’t… Instead he decided to wash the car. I’m not going to say that the quality of the car wash was the best, but I will not complain about a kid wanting to wash my car. Yesterday there was a sports team doing a car wash fundraiser and I was going to take the car in, but Gabe was proud of his washing job, so we didn’t. I think my car is going to look like this for a while… Then we got dinner at the food trucks and headed home for a fire and s’mores.

A Very Cold Day

We had another round of ski lessons yesterday. Unfortunately, it was cold. Very, very cold. Realistically it was just the wind chill. We would have been fine skiing in the teens, but the wind knocked it down and extra 15 degrees and that was too much. Pat and I took our gear, but decided it was way too cold, so we hung out in the lodge waiting for the boys.  A half hour into the lesson, I got a call from a friend that works up there that Josy was in the office. He’d made it a half hour before deciding that it was too cold to ski. So he hung out in the lodge with us. Gabe made it the whole time and didn’t want to quit to come inside. But Pat told him no and as soon as he came in, he realized that his fingers and ties were numb.  We ate lunch and then headed home. Hopefully the weather will be more pleasant next weekend…

Utah/California: Day 3

This morning we went to IHOP for some pancakes. Gabe picked the Scary Pancake, which he thought was delicious. Josy, who is very excited to hang out with Bella, informed the waitress that “her name is Bella and she’s our lovely sister!” The waitress thought he was the cutest thing she’d ever seen. Then we made it way to Bryce Canyon. We stopped in Red Canyon got a photo stop (and bathroom break…). Then we got to Bryce Canyon, which was amazing!! We stopped at one of the random lookouts before hitting the amphitheater. We hiked from the Bryce lookout to Inspiration Point, which ended up being about 3.5 miles, round trip. The two big kids did great. Josy struggled. His legs were tired and he was in pain. But he struggled along and ended up with a few shoulder rides. At one point Pat told him that he was “the Little Engine that Could.” He said no, he was “the Big Engine that was sore.” Gabe found a lizard that he insisted on taking a picture of. Then we headed back to town and had dinner
