are you on the stairs?

Tonight Seth and Gabe were playing a version of hide and seek it was SO cute they would run around our little island in our kitchen and Seth would hurry and hide before Gabe got back around. If we had the energy Gabe would spend all day doing it but Seth was getting tired and said OK it's your turn Gabe to hide. So Seth started to run/walk around the island and Gabe ran to hide, well while Gabe was hiding and Daddy was seeking he said "is Gabe on the stairs?" and you hear this cute little voice peep up and say "no" we both started laughing it was just to cute. The next time Seth asked "is Gabe under the table?" "No" and then Gabe went sprinting across the room to hide under the table after Daddy was done checking there. Oh the good times we have at our house.

Our Family Pictures.....that I forgot to put on!

As I was going through my blog....and seeing all that I missed. I realized I hadn't put on my Family photos we had done. My friend Shannon...(www.shannonhaddenphotography.blogspot.com) did our pictures for us. WOW amazing and I need to put them on, a lot of you got our Christmas card... if you didn't I'm sorry I must not have your email or your address, I tried to send them either of those 2 ways.

Here they are my family photos, I had some done around Christmas with the WHOLE family..... I will put those up later, I still can't decide all the ones I am going to put up... mainly because I have only thumbnails at this point to look at. BUT I am trying to keep up with this whole blog thing this year, so we'll see how it goes.

which way is down....I mean WEEEEEE!!

Yep that's us, today we went sledding.... it was COLD and WINDY and let's just say we didn't stay long, but we got some pictures and spent some time warming up in the car.

Seth and I both went down separate and had a blast Seth went over a jump... and you can see how that turned out. I hit it as well but didn't fly off, scared the crap out of my mother in-law though she thought I was a goner.... LOL I survived!

Gabe even went down by himself only from half way and we were huddling around him the whole time but he LOVED IT!! He would scream at us to take him up again and he would cry if we didn't do it fast enough. I have such an amazing family on both sides I am so lucky and Gabe is so lucky to have so many people who love him.

Out Bowling

We went bowling this week as a get out of the house activity. It was so much fun Gabe really likes bowling and mommy enjoys it too. Seth is really good at it, he doesn't think so but I gutter ball it quite often and he gets STRIKES just as often so.... you be the judge! For Gabe though he gets the bumpers and the little holder thingy. Well he bowled better than mommy too. SO there you go I can't bowl but I sure like to try. Give me a Wii and I can kick but but not in real life.

I'm sorry they are blurry you would think a person like me wouldn't take things like this BUT this is not my good camera it's my little pocket one I take on the trips that I don't want to lung my big camera on!

FYI that is a 6lb. ball! and YES he's carrying it by himself.

A couple of months in just one post

I'm sorry it has been forever....and ever. So I am going to try and catch up really quick!

Seth and I celebrated our #3.... YAY for #3 He took me to the Twilight movie to celebrate! What a guy he watched it with me and everything.

Then we celebrated Thanksgiving and our lil' man's Bday all together because my parents came up for the holiday! I can't believe our little man is 2 it's crazy how quick they grow!

We had 2 birthday parties one with my family and one with Seth's family. Since my parents were up all my siblings came down for a day to play games and visit. So we had some birthday cake to go with it. Gabe LOVED it we had a car bday cake (which I made...don't judge) and he got a Mac truck for all his cars some tools and a BIG red wagon! Then at Seth's parents party they had for him he got PLAYDOH and a book from his aunt and some more cars!

YAY now we are on to Christmas stuff. We went to the Salt Lake Temple to see the lights... WOW amazing to say the least.

They had a lot of different Nativities from a lot of different countries. It was a beautiful sight to see I took a lot of pictures of them but I am only going to put on a couple of my family.

After that we did hot chocolate, YUM. Later on that week we did a rice Crispy TRAIN... yes a train...chugga chugga or a Choo Choo in Gabe's terms. We did that instead of a Gingerbread house because Seth can't eat the gingerbread... and he CAN have the rice crispy... which meant I didn't have to eat it by myself. Turns out Gabe ate most of it though.

Then it was Christmas, we did a couple of gifts up here. And then off to the BIG G with my family. EVERYONE was there which ment no room to breath but we had a great time, and yep Santa stopped early. In Germany Santa comes on Christmas eve, and because this is a German family Santa KNOWS that he needs to come to our house first when he goes around, a big detour I know but it keeps us happy. I grew up with that and LOVED it and lucky that Santa has kept up the tradition.
