Gemma

Gemma is getting so big, how time flies. She is fully walking now and figuring out running, I took her in to get her shots last Tuesday. It was so sad her little legs were sore and she couldn't walk very well. Normally however she is so happy and busy, she is also starting to talk a bit she say's "Oh WOW!" and when we are in the store she points and say's "wats zat" and today she started calling me " MaMa" I just love it. She waves bye-bye and when I ask her where daddy is she waves bye-bye :-) even if he is right there...
She loves to get into Cisco and Jade's rooms and if they leave their doors open she makes a bee-line for Cisco's room first. :-) And she really does not like it when I tell her "stop it" it makes her cry.This is a cute picture of her walking, the little pooh bear car is from Grandma Anaka and Grandpa Ray, they gave it to her for her birthday. It's not her birthday yet but they were excited and I didn't mind, because they won't be here on her birthday anyway, they are going to Panama.
Gemma is a big girl now.. well she thinks she is... I spent last week painting her crib. Chris and Jana were very kind and let us have it back, I had lent it to them for Jack, thinking that I wouldn't need it because none of the other kids ever slept in one. Gemma however can only sleep in her own bed, it was a dark blue but I wanted to have it be a lighter color. All I can say is that primer is important!! My dad had told me that I only needed to sand it.... the guy at the home depot said the same thing... they were wrong. Anyway I finally got it done over the weekend, with a lot of Cisco's help, and this is a picture of Gemma in it. :-)

Kangaroozoo

We went to Kangaroozoo today with Lori and her kids, on our way I decided to call and invite Chris and Jana, Jana had to work but Chris brought Gabriela. We had a lot of fun Cisco invited his friend Josh to come along too. Gabi had a ball with Jade and Gemma. I had fun taking Gemma down the big slide, she was a little scared at first but she came to love it, so we jumped and went on the slides for a few hours. When we slowed down a little Gemma must have had enough because she threw up.....ick.... She is prone to motion sickness, the poor thing. By then we were all tired and it was time to go, it is a lot of work to climb those things.

October 7, 2007

It was our 9th anniversary yesterday, so we took the kids to Joe's Crab Shack for dinner to celebrate. Usually when we go out for seafood we go to the Market Street, but we wanted to try something different. James, Cisco and I ordered the crab pot. It was a really fun meal, basically it had two kinds of crab, shrimp, sausage, corn and potatoes and it came in a bucket. I didn't take a picture in time. Jade and Gemma had quesidillas, Gemma also shared my corn, she really enjoyed it! Then for dessert we ordered a "Sea Turtle" and we all shared that. It was very tasty, Gemma liked it too, however Jade wasn't too impressed, she did like that there was a play place though.

Who are you???

Joey, Cerissa and Charly came out to our house on Saturday for dinner and to play games. This was cute of Gemma and Charly, they were checking each other out very carefully.

Taking a rest...

This is a special picture because Gemma dosen't usually sleep anywhere but her own bed.

Snow???

Yes, do believe your eyes these are rather large snowflakes that fell for a few hours on Saturday the 29th of September. Jade was so excited to go out and play in it.
Anyway I am very excited that it is October now, October is my favorite month... I love the fall and Halloween and my birthday. Our anniversary is also in October
