Trip to Cincinnati

On Friday, we left to go to Cincinati for the weekend. Gabe was having a reunion for his high school basketball team who were the only ones in Calvary Christian history to win the State Championship! Yay go Daddy! So we traveled up there with Gabe's parents. Ford did really well on the way up. He took two naps and so did I. We stayed in a nice hotel, The Hilton, with a comfy bed. Calvary had cake and snacks for all the old basketball team members during their current high school team game. Then at half time their old coach called the team out to the court and said some very nice things about his team. Gabe was so excited about getting to see all his old teammates and coach. We ate at Skyline Chili afterwards, which is Gabe's favorite thing EVER! We headed back the next day in the afternoon after eating at Bob Evans and shopping some! Thank you to Gabe's parents for taking us up there! We love you very much. And thank you to Ford for being the best baby in the world!

Tag....I'm it!

Laura Alsup tagged me and challenged me to post the 4th picture located in my 4th folder where I keep my pictures. And here it is!! It is a picture of me and my parents at a wedding I was in two Augusts ago. It was Kristin Carman and Branson Stevens wedding! It was such a fun and beautiful wedding. I can't believe it has been over a year since they were married. I love my wonderful parents!

Now it is my turn to tag four people....I pick Missy Guthrie, Melinda McCormac, Casey Ealy, and well I guess that is it because Laura used my other friends!

Here are the instructions:

Go to the 4th album in the place you store your pictures on your computer

Select the 4th picture in that album (no exceptions)

Post it in this post with an explanation and link it back to your tagger

Tag 4 people to do the same thing...or you can cheat like me and tag 3 peeps!

Lunch with Riley

We went to lunch with baby Riley and mommy Ashley last week. Ford and Riley had a fun time sitting in their high chairs beside each other. We ate at Cozumel which was yummy! We can't wait to see them again!

Valentine's Day 2009

What fun Valentine's morning! Gabe, Ford, and I exchanged gifts and played. Ford tried pears for the first time....and yummy....he loved them! Later in the afternoon, we went to Ellie's birthday party. She is turning 7 years old! I cannot believe how big she is getting. She got lots of fun presents, and we all hada blast. Later that night Gabe and I cooked steaks and browned butter pasta to celebrate the day of LOVE! The loot!Ford reading his V-day cardyummy pears!

Ford loves his cousin aka sister Ellie!

Thank you Maw Maw!

Maw Maw sure loves little Ford. She made him two very special pillows for his nursery. One is for his chair, and I monogrammed it. The other one is a mini pillow for his crib! She did a wonderful job. We love our Maw Maw! Thank you so much!

Applesauce, biter biscuit, and more...

Ford had applesauce for the first time a week ago. He really loved it. I think it is his favorite thing he has had so far. He gobbled the whole jardown in no time. We also gave him a biter biscuit which he loved, but kind of got bored of and just started hitting it around on his high chair. We also let him try some melt aways....BIG mistake! He got choked on one and threw up everything he had just eaten! Poor little one, but he was perfectly fine afterward. Needless to say, we will not be trying melt aways anytime soon! With a melt away on his face!he loved the biter biscuit

he sure loves his daddy!

Ford's 6 month check up

Ford went to have his 6 month check up last week. He is a very healthy boy and gets to start eating veggies and fruits 3 times a day and rice cereal one time a day! He got 4 shots:( But did not cry until the third shot went in. Dr. Ewing said he is right where he needs to be! And thank you too nurse Mari Anne for doing a wonderful job with the shots.

Ford went to class for the first time on Sunday morning two Sunday's ago....last Sunday he was asleep during class time so he went with us! Thank you to his wonderful teachers, Melissa Ericson, and Mrs. Wood! Ford had a great time, and when Gabe came to pick him up he started crying becuase he did not want to leave!
