Busy Weekend

Hello Everyone~

We had a busy weekend. The kids got their pictures taken on Saturday morning. Overall I think they turned out great. Unfortunately Piper was her super happy a half hour before pictures started. So when the photographer got to our house she was hungry and tired. Isn't that always the way.

Sunday morning we woke up early and went to mass at St. Peter's and visited one of my favorite people Father Kottas. Then it was off to the zoo. Brody loved the animals and the train. Piper did not like the train especially the whistle and when they let out the steam. That night we visited Grandma and Grandpa Gibler.

We got our in car DVD player installed in Jay's truck so we are ready for our trips to Okoboji this year. Hopefully it will keep Brody busy for the 3 hour drive.

Well that's all for now. I'll post again soon.

Miss Piper

It's Been A Long Time Coming

Hi Everyone,

I can't believe it has been over a year since I last blogged. In the last year Jay and I welcomed a baby girl to our family. Piper Elizabeth was born March 7th. Miss Piper is healthy and happy but don't let her fool you she's got fire in her belly. When she gets mad watch out. Unfortunately she already got sick. She was only at daycare 1 week.... All daycares should be bleach bombed weekly.

Brody is a great big brother. He'll be 3 this September. He's a very sweet little boy except when he's testing his mom :) He likes to watch Toy Story, Curious George and Sesame Street. He said to me the other day when we were driving "Look an octagon" I took me a second and then I noticed he was pointing to the stop sign. Telly was looking for an octagon on an episode we had watched a week earlier. Good old Sesame Street....

Jay and I are celebrating our 4 year wedding anniversary next week. We are going to Cascio's Steakhouse for dinner. Yum I can't wait. We are going on a cruise in January. I'm so excited even though I know I'll miss the kiddos.

I know I haven't been good about updating but my goal is to update at least monthly. So talk to

you soon.

Trish

All little boy

Hello,

We are so glad spring has arrived. It is great to have the windows open and be able to be outside. We made our first zoo trip last weekend. Brody was roaring all the way through the Cat House. He liked the lions, tigers and other cats the best.

He is talking so much more now. Some of his favorite words are "no", "Melmo" (aka Elmo), "Mom" "puppy" and the list can go on. He is all boy. He loves to play outside, be dirty and climb.

As for Jay and I. Planting has started for Jay so he has been busy. Nothing new with me. I'm still working from home 3 times a week and loving it. We are looking forward to our family vacation to Spirit Lake in June.

Cooper and Brody

Jay and Mary and their son Cooper came over for the Super Bowl. The boys played and had a great time. Here is a picture of them watching the Super Bowl commercials. I love this picture.

Florida Vacation

Hello All~
We just got back from a vacation in Florida. We did so many fun things the week we were there. My sister in law Brandy and I were in a cupcake eating contest, Jay and I ate a sandwich called a Fat Sandy, we went shopping at an amazing outlet mall, and Brody got to play with his cousins Cale and Reagan. Here is a picture of him and Reagan at the park. The weather was cool 50-60s but it was great compared to the cold and snow that was in Council Bluffs. Brody did good on his first plane rides.

Christmas

Hello,

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a long time. You can blame it on Facebook that is were I post my pictures. The smile on Brody's face in the picture sums up our Christmas. We had a wonderful Christmas with our families. The weather was terrible on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day but it didn't put a damper on our celebrations. I think we ended up getting a foot of snow here in Council Bluffs.

Today we have the Pellett family pictures so hopefully we get some good pictures to turn out. We hope everyone is well. Talk to you soon.
