Birthday Party

A Birthday Party!

Gunner Man

I can't get Gunner to stay out of the trash. The other day he found an old chocolate pudding cup, he wasn't very happy when I took it away.

Fancy Nancy

Recently Katie read the book "Fancy Nancy, Poison Ivy Expert"In it she learned the new word, "Concealed". Later that week she came up to me and I noticed a loose clump of hair hanging from her head. Because of previous experience I knew she had been cutting again.

Me "Katie, did you cut your hair?"

Katie, "Yes, and do you know what mom?"

Me, "What".

Katie,"I concealed myself under the bed, and that's where I did it"

Me, "Hmmm".

Katie, "Concealed means I hid under the bed to do it, Mom. So I concealed myself."

Me, "Yes I know Katie"

I found all the clumps under the bed... luckily it didn't ruin the length, it was just a really wonderful layering job.

Gunner's Day

What Gunner did on his birthday. I enjoyed the fact that Gunner had no clue it was his birthday and that we could celebrate it on another day (yes that means another post will be arriving shortly). Instead it was kind of a normal day.
He got to swing, he loves being outside and exploring, but swinging is a favorite!

Gunner learned how to climb on the chairs and the table.

And he ate his first pancake

He climbed on the edge of the couch and tried to dive off a million times.

He climbed on the computer desk and made a mess.

Ate snacks

AND..... Tried a new trick

Happy Birthday Gunner

On this day one year ago, our little bouncing baby boy Gunner was born. It was a great day! Happy Birthday Gunner D! Mommy Loves you!

AND THE GRAMMY GOES TO...

The other day at the girls Dr's Apt's I was busy talking to the receptionist and Gunner was getting fussy, so I asked the girls to give Gunner some Graham Crackers, when I walked over I saw this. Thanks girls!

It's BACK!!!!

The Cabin has been officially re-opened for the summer, so plan on many more posts of cabin trips. I hope to make it many more times before this baby is born.
Katie set up "Beauty Parlor" She hung a sign on the door that said, "No Boys Allowed" Then she went around and told all the boys that they couldn't come in, or else she would put makeup on them. She had a waiting room that she would call you when she was ready. And then she would do your makeup, hair, and then serve you tea (cabin water, and if you even drink a drop you will have the fastest colon cleanse you never saw coming), she also had a cash register. She was so funny. What an amazing little girl I have.

Poor Maddi was sick half of the trip, and spent it on the couch or in the hammock.

Wildlife Zoo

We had a really fun Spring Break planned.... and then life happened. Maddi and Gunner got sick, so Katie got to go with the cousins to the Wildlife Zoo. I was so sad that we all couldn't go, and even more sad that I couldn't take a thousand pictures. Oh well Katie had fun!

MY Great BIG Helper

I'm raising a wonderful little man! He loves to help around the house! Gunner loves to help with the laundry. He follows me in everytime. And as soon as I open the doors, he closes them. You can picture moving clothes from the washer to the dryer and having to stop every two seconds to open the door back up? Although when it finally gets in I let him put the dryer sheet in and close the door. He loves to help. Except when he pinches his finger...

Gunner loves to help with the dishes. Anytime I start them he runs right over and pulls anything I put in out. Or if I'm unloading it he likes to put things in like, crackers and boogers. He now has to sit in his chair while I do dishes.

A Few Katie Moments

Katie falls asleep reading a lot. She loves to read, and is so good at it. She fell asleep reading "The Little Princess" Yes a chapter book that Maddi got for her birthday, my four year old is reading it.
Katie got invited to a school friends birthday party. I was sad that I had to miss it, because of sick children, so I sent Adam and told him to take pictures. She is so beautiful. Well I think so anyway! Looks like they had fun!

A side note. She had her Follow up on her arm and one bone refuses to fuse! So she has to wear her splint still and do more excersizes. She hates that!
