catch up...again!

I have been a huge slacker lately with updating my blog and everything else for that matter. So let me just catch up a little bit. I turn 29 in just two days and then Gabe turns 9 months on Thursday so hopefully it won't take too long till I get another post up. We have all been pretty sick lately. Abby has had a cold and cough for like a month and I went to take the girls in last Friday to the doctor and turns out that they both have strep, so at least they will be good and healthy for our trip this weekend to Chicago to see my brother Jon and Wendy to bless their new twin boys. Well, to top things off, I got sick on Saturday, sharing...and gracing...my guts with the toilet bowl all day. I'm still not 100 percent but I'm not throwing up at least. Gabe's had a cold and teething for a few weeks and hasn't eaten very well, and has lost a bit of weight but I think he is starting to eat a bit more now. Tommy is doing well at work and took great care of the kids on Saturday while I tried to stay in bed and away from the bathroom. I sure love that guy! Well, enough of the woes, and here are bigger and better things that have happened of late!


This is a video of Gabe when he turned 8 months old so it is about a month old but it is cute.


Here are some pictures of the kids taking baths and having fun together. I just love it when they all get along...I guess that really only goes for the older two, but I'm sure you all know what I mean when there is peace and harmony.

Here is a video of the kids when we were in Maryland at Grandma and Grandpa Krebs's house. We met up to spend the weekend sight seeing D.C. again with our good friends MaryIrene and Jeffrey Allen with their wonderful boys Elliot and Sam.

These are some pictures down at the family farm in Virginia taken just a couple of weeks ago. Gabe is sporting the semi truck and Aiselyn is going to the rodeo! Somehow I don't have anything of Abby--poor girl!

This is the capitol building in D.C. with the beautiful tulips in front of the botanical gardens. It was so pretty!

Here is me with MaryIrene and Gabe inside the botanical gardens...I don't recall what kind of pretty flowers we are by...maybe irises. Ya got me! I don't know! But they look good and we aren't bad either!

Here are Aiselyn and Elliot playing underneath an airplane or something at the Air and Space Museum. They had a lot of fun together during this trip!And here is our cute little family in front of a spaceship. Doesn't that just catch the moment?

Finally here is a fun video of the girls doing their ballerina tricks.

I love my family so much, I am so glad that Heavenly Father has sent them into my life. I just hope and pray that I can do what He intends me to do with them especially these wonderful children. Sure they make me want to pull my hair out at times but they really are some of the best little kids one could ever ask for. Aiselyn loves to learn and get bigger and is reading really well now, Abby is just a bunch of fun and loves to follow Aiselyn around and does voice her opinion quite well...she is a red head after all. Gabe is just a bunch of fun as well. He is very laid back and still doesn't have any desire to roll over or cruise or anything which is really fine with me...he sits up and plays with his toys and is happy. One of these days he will get up and start walking I am sure...but I can wait. Tommy and I celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary next week. I can't believe it has been that much time already. We are very much still in love and he makes the outside of our house look good while I usually tackle the inside. It works out pretty well! Until next time--peace out!
