Gabby as a baby. This just a tribute to her five years with us. I still think she could have won a beautiful baby contest.
Chad turns 30, but just look how is still the same ol'Chad in monogramed overalls.
Birthday Breakfast.
Chad's 30th Birthday Bash. Look at this generation pic. Classic.
Finally a belly shot for those who requested.
The BIG 3-0!!!!!
Gabby's birthday breakfast.
As a tradition, we went to Chuck E Cheese for Gabby's birthday.
He loved that car!
Can you see Gabby's face?
Gabby ran up quite a ticket count on ski ball.
Alex finally gave up and just climbed up the ramp to throw them in.
Friday night, for Gabby's birthday, we took just Gabby to the Astros game with her Grandma and Gido.
The fireworks were just way too exciting for her. Seriously she squealed with delight every explosion.
All tuckered out. Even five year-olds need their beauty sleep. Besides, she had a party to get ready for the next day. This year we did something different. Gabby invited all girls for a tinker bell party where they did fairy crafts and got their nails painted. It was a very girly time.
You like the costume? I sewed it myself, don't look too closely.
Girls just wanna have fun!!!
Alex was frightened by the birthday song.
But the cake cheered him up.
Family pic.
Grandma and Grandmommy gave her a birthday kiss.
Here's my big five-year-old riding her new bike that Grandma and Gido gave her.
Gabby had her first sleepover with her cousin Cammie for her birthday. They enjoyed popcorn and watched the new Barbie movie on Gabby's other big present, a princess TV with DVD player.Phew!!! It's been a long month. If two big milestone birthdays weren't enough, hurrican Ike had to come and destroy all our big plans. We originally planned to have fam trip to Galveston the weekend of Chad's 30th. Needless to say, we made other plans. Chad's parents were gracious enough to let us have the family celebration at their house, even after they had been out of power for several days and had a little bit of water damage. I can't thank them enough for helping us throw Chad a great birthday...even though it wasn't a beach house in Galveston, it was still loads of fun. Then came Gabby's big day. She knew it too. I heard the phrase, "It's my birthday, I can do what I want." about a thousand times. But somehow I couldn't resist spoiling her. Her celebration started with a special birthday breakfast with pink frosting. Then Chuck E Cheese for lunch, followed by the Astros Game. Then the next day, Gabby had her party. ( A party that I would have killed for as a little girl.) Tinkerbell was the theme. Only girls were invited and they had manicures and did girly things like decorated art projects with jewels and glitter. I am still sweeping up glitter and beads. But a fun time was had by all. Every time September rolls around, I am reminded of how very lucky I am to have two wonderful people in my life: Chad and Gabby. I love them dearly and I'm sooo happy their mine.

It HAS been a momentus month for you guys!!! Loved all the pics and Abbey had the best time at Gabby's party; everything was princess perfect!!! Such a fun and creative party and great job on the fairy costume!
Where to start? I am still laughing at Alex crying at the Birthday Song. Grant did that the first three years of his life at all of his parties and any time the song was being sung at a party/restaurant. I never knew the song was so scary. Not sure what that's about. And, OMG - that costume is soooo cute. HOW do you have time to do these things? I think Gabby's birthday sounds like good fun - must be nice having a girl, better make that TWO girls, and you get to do all the glittery, pink, lace, princess things. Sigh... Sigh again... I totally enjoyed the pics of Chad in his overalls. Tell him that yes, he does look the SAME and I had a good laugh from it. And, oh wow! Let's not forget the very first picture you posted of Gabby. Those eyes!!! Yes, she very well could have won Prettiest Baby Ever. And, I love the updated prego pics. You look great!
