Gabriella loves her Gamma!




We had a fun/full weekend. Jeff spent all day yesterday helping a friend move and the kids and I spent it shopping both for fun and for groceries.
Today "the guys" went swimming at one of Brandon's wrestling buddies house and the girls and I went swimming at my moms. Everyone had fun, even Gabriella liked it.
Tomorrow is back to the grind of work/school and running around. It's around this time of year where I long for the 9 month school schedule. We've still got another 6 weeks to go. Next year will be interesting with Alyssa on a 9 month schedule and Brandon on a 12 month one.
Well, I just put Gabriella to bed...all clean and nice in her brand new jammies.
I still have two to go...so I guess I better run.

Check him out...

Brandon has a blog now too.
I'm sure it will be filled with all the exciting things that he experiences (wrestling) as well as his perspective on life. Should be interesting.
I am not helping him (besides making sure what ever he has to say is appropriate) so keep in mind he's just 6.
Check him out....

Memorial Day...

I'll be honest, we had a pretty lazy Memorial Day.
We did take the kids to the water park for a little while and that was fun.
Other than that we just stayed home. The kids played, Jeff did some working out and I held down the couch. :)

Bean...

Bean is our guinea pig. Sadly (depends on who you ask) his brother Cotton died last year leaving Bean lonely.
When Alyssa was cleaning his cage today he caught the eye of Gabriella. She had never seen a "puppy" like this before.
Not sure if it was such a good idea to introduce them...poor Bean may never be the same.

Meeting Bean...

Like mother

Like daughter

Bored...

As you can probably tell from all the posts that I have just done, I'm bored.

Alyssa is with my sister for the night. They went and saw Taylor Swift in concert. Exciting times.

Brandon is spending the night with some of his friends. This is the second time he has ever slept away from home (besides spending the night at my moms)
The other time was not a good experience...he had a rough time.
Sadly, it seems it's just mommy having the rough time this time around.

Jeff is working...

I tried to keep Gabriella up as long as possible but when she was standing at her crib literally begging to take a nap, I realized it was time.
So here I am...I've watched enough TV and did 90% of my laundry. Now what?!

I guess I should just be glad I'm not the house that kept the boys tonight...at last count there were 6 boys staying...all around the same age, all with a TON of energy and all with very strong personalities...

Off I go now to fold another load of laundry.
