Catching up!

I have been slacking with my updates! We have been so busy. I just finished my math class for the semester and I am pleased with how well it went! I think officially I got an A-. I'll take that! Jon has been busy with work and life and we all have been holding on for dear life as time is flying! Gabe was just put into a special education preschool for his speech! We are so excited that things are finally moving with this! He loved his first day and didn't want to come home when I went to pick him up! I loved his teachers and I am excited to see how he improves! Shelby is just as busy as ever! She is everywhere and almost always has a smile on her face! She is quite a feisty little thing and it's pretty much her way or no way! When you tell her no she will either laugh at you or start crying! Or sometimes its a combo of both of them! All in all our kids bring us so much joy and happiness, I just keep getting better and better! Now for some updates! Our Halloween was great! Gabe picked out his own costume and when it came he was afraid of what he looked like in it! But when Halloween came around... he was so excited! He was a dragon!



Look how cute he is! He has the sweetest face!

I was trying to get him to do something scary but he wouldn't! He just kept laughing and smiling!
We had a family Halloween party this year at my sister chantels house! Jon was a monk, I was a punk rocker, gabe was a dragon and little Shelby was a duck! We had a great time with all of the games, activities and food! Nothing is better than doing fun stuff with your family!

I was trying really hard to get some pics taken for Christmas cards this year. But it doesn't look like that will happen! I found this adorable 5-piece suit for gabe and then we found this super cute sweater dress for Shelby. She wasn't really cooperating and she wouldn't smile while the camera was in my hands!
I promise she really is happy!
He looks so handsome! The color of the suit is perfect for him!

Here is our happy girl! She now has 2 teeth on the bottom! She had her official 9 month checkup a few days ago and here are her stats: 29 in long (95%), she is 20 lbs (85%)! She is doing great! I can't believe how big she is. She isn't really a baby anymore. She is crawling everywhere and she has been pulling herself up on stuff like crazy! She sure is loads of fun though!

Cute pics. What a handsome boy Gabe is in his suit! I can't wait to see him in person. Shelby's a little cutie too with her big eyes. I can't believe she weighs more than Preslie. Ha, ha! Preslie's so tiny!
