The Family

We took advantage of the nice weather and attempted an impromptu family photo shoot on Sunday. It turned out like most photo shoots, Riley and I looking at the camera while trying to keep the kids at least in the picture!

The Gibb Family

Brady


The Gibb Girls

Brother Love

While doing dishes the other day, the kids were playing nicely in the playroom. Pretty soon I heard a shuffling sound. When I turned around this is what I saw coming through my kitchen! I am not sure how they got her in there, but she was loving the ride and being a part of her brother's activities.


Easton just loves his baby sister.

I believe that one of the best sounds in the world is a baby laughing. Fortunately Jaylee has older brothers because they are always the ones that make her laugh. In this video Jaylee is playing 'sword fight' with Easton. She thought it was hilarious!

Baseball Dress

I have started sewing! I started by making Jaylee an Easter dress. (I am waiting until Easter to post pictures of that dress.) My mom helped me through the Easter dress and when I was done I wanted to try something else. This little baseball dress was my first creation that I sewed together all by myself. I am really happy with how it turned out. I know there are too many pictures in this blog post, but she just looked so cute in all of them!

Jaylee's Hair

Jaylee has been working on growing her hair. I am excited to start doing ponytails and braids, but I think she still has a long way to go! For now, she can just keep using her big bows and flowers.


Cousins

Easton and Ruby
Ruby and her sisters came to visit this weekend and my boys had so much fun playing with them! They played all weekend long.


Jaylee and Dax
I wanted to get a picture of these two together. I quickly realized that there was no way that we were going to get both of them looking at the camera at the same time. I decided to post two pictures, so between the two both babies are looking at the camera at some point!

3rd Annual Heroes 5k Run / Walk

Last Saturday I ran my first 5K race since before I got pregnant with Jaylee. There were only about 150 people there, but I was the 3rd place female! I ran it in 28:31 which was way better than I expected. I have been taking it really slow as I get back into running so that I will not get injured and that I will enjoy running. My plan must be working because I felt great and really enjoyed the race.

Random Shots from the Past Few Weeks

Last week we had a family pizza party. It was complete with dinner and games. In this picture the kids are proudly showing off the ribbons I made them for winning the games.

Jaylee loves bath time and is starting to get sad when I make her get out!

Jaylee celebrated the opening day of baseball by proudly wearing her Cubs hat. Opening Day is like a holiday in this house. It started when Riley and I were newly dating and he said to me, "Guess what? It's one week until Opening Day!" and I said, "What's that?" I have learned a lot in 10 years!
