meet Pinto

I would tell you that Lucy has a new stuffed animal, but with his size, I am considering him a new family member....meet Pinto! This is a prime example of the gullible grandparent. Buni was here and had us at Costco for some over-sized bulk shopping. I couldn't resist and put Lucy up on the horse. She looked at Grandma with her big brown eyes and I knew in one second that Pinto was coming home with us. Lucy LOVES him! She has to mount him from the couch he is so big, LOL! Pony rides are now at our house for anyone interested!
p.s. the last picture was a must, I can't post without including my sweet Violet.

Violet's baptism

Yesterday our sweet Violet was baptized! It was a perfect day!

You also must see the cupcakes that I made....they have REAL violets on the top, they are sugared and they were so good! (I did not make the violets, ordered them online.)

Buni's here

Buni arrived yesterday morning , yipeeee! We had fun in the yard with the girls early evening, and later in the night Grandma's friend Michael arrived. The wine was flowing, which lead to dancing, but no night with The Gaber is complete without an injury. Last night it was another toe injury, and the sweet daughter that I am, I got a picture of the face in pain. Don't worry, she did not need the stitches she was screaming for, in fact, Michael couldn't find the cut, LOL.
Today is starting out as usual, Shawn put everyone through the P90X workout, who knows what else our day holds? Enjoy your Saturday everyone, the weather is PERFECT!

snack surprise

Lucy has been showing me this caterpillar treat in a Halloween cookbook for about a week, so today I surprised her after her nap with it on the table! She went crazy and the caterpillar was soon disassembled for eating, FUN surprise snack for my Lucy!

husband post

Shawn wanted to post my blog today...

"That's 16 bottles and two boxes of "on the go" formula...the "re-call" marketing efforts were genius.‏"

Guess I panicked last night over the shortage on liquid formula after the recall...I went to most stores in a 15 mile radius of us to stock our pantry. Sad news is, that this will only get us through 22 days of feedings. Hopefully the shelves will be restocked by then!

thank goodness for the hardwoods

Some times I hope that you all get my blog at a moment when a good laugh is needed. Whether you're laughing if you are a mom going through it, or because you are happy that I am going through it, here comes your laugh...
Lucy just came down from her nap and announced that she needed a new diaper as she began to pull the tabs on the sides. As the diaper fell to the ground, out fell a poo ball onto the hardwood floor! Yep, you read that right, I just had a poo ball rolling on my floor! THANK GOODNESS she was standing on the hardwoods! LOL is all I can do at this moment, oh, and clean the floors! :) Hope you are all having a great Monday!

pumpkin party

Sunday Grandma and Papa had all the kids in the family to the farm for a pumpkin party. They had a hayride out to a pumpkin patch that they grew just for the kids, it was so awesome! Grandma put together a table of fun snacks and prizes for the kids, so fun! The adults also got a special treat....warm cider, YUM! The weather was perfect for the occasion, way to go, thanks Papa and Grandma!
