House Hunters

Has anyone ever seen the show house hunters? Jeremy and I have started looking for houses and I wish it were as easy as they make it seem on that show! I have a feeling this is going to be long, exhausting and anything but fun. Isn't there a house out there with min. of 4 bedrooms a city or mountain view, hardwood, granite, thick shutters, an upstairs loft, stainless steel appl., walk in closets a pool and within my price range? OK, I'm kidding about expecting to find all of that within our budget but a couple of those things would be nice. Wish us luck on our hunt!

Maisie Lynn Gibson

Shaun and Carilynn had their second child, first girl, today around 4:00 this morning. Her name is Maisie Lynn Gibson, she weighed 8 lbs. and was 20 inches long. She is so cute and chubby and she and mom are doing great! Here is a picture from Shaun's phone.

Sweet Ryan

I just wanted to say happy birthday to my sweet little Ryan. I can't believe she is two years old today. It seems like yesterday I was in the hospital delivering all 7lbs. 13 oz. of her. She has brought so much joy and love into our home and life definitely would not be the same without her! Today we've already had so much fun opening presents, going to breakfast with grandma and picking out some birthday presents with her. Tomorrow we're having a little princess party, as requested, for her so I'll post all of her Birthday pictures then.

Easter egg hunting!

Here are picures of all of the kids during an Easter egg hunt at my parent's house. It was impossible for me to get one of all the kids looking at the camera. Unfortunately Brin, Ryan and Kristen and Rebecca and Derek couldn't be there. You'll notice there aren't any of us in our Sunday best because I forgot to take pictures of us on Easter, I was planning of getting some but pregnancy has taken it's toll on my memory!

The much anticipated Easter egg hunt.

Baby boom!

So I'm very excited to announce that my family is experiencing a baby boom! First Carrilynn is having a baby in about a week, then myself the end of July and now I'm happy to announce that my little sister Rebecca is also pregnant, yeah! They've been trying a little over a year and they are so excited. She is about 12 weeks along and is due in October. Needless to say I'm extremely excited since our babies will only be about 2 1/2 months apart. Congratulations Booky and Derek!

Parties and Messes!

So this past month has been quite busy. It all started off with an awards night for the city of Henderson with my dad receiving a surprise award! He had no idea he was recieving it and no idea that his kids were coming, SURPRISE. Next, we babysat our neices Ali and Corinne so Tana and Loren could go out for Tana's birthday. The girls were great, so well behaved....well until Ali and Ryan decided to pull out everything from Ryan's dresser and throw it on the floor. It was quite the mess but it was so cute to see them in their beanies and surprised faces when we came in. We had to take pictures of it. Last but not least my sister in law Tana and friend Leesha had a birthday on the same day so my friend Cairen threw a little birthday lunch for them. I was in charge of the birthday cake which was so fun to do. Cairen told me about a cake she saw online and when I saw it I had to make it. It's layered, not 1,2, 3 even 4 layers, it's 12 layers! It looked so cool when we cut it I had to post pictures of it. I probably won't be making another one anytime soon but I'm glad I tried it and it was a success until I almost hit a biker coming out of our complex. As soon as I saw him I slammed on my brakes and the cake flew off of the cake stand!!! Luckily there was minimal damage to the cake and none to the biker, nothing a little frosting couldn't fix.

Tana and Leesha, the birthday girls.
All 12 beautiful Layers!

My amateur decorating skills, but I thought I did a pretty good job.

THE MESS

The two little culprits

Surprised to see me!

The gang at the city awards. Congrats Dad!

Thank Heaven for little girls!

So I know that lately my posts have been few and far between but pregnancy is really taking it's toll on me. It seems to be much harder for me this time around. I'm sure it's because not only am I STILL nauscious at night but I have an almost two year old to keep up with.

We've done some fun things lately which I'll post pictures of later but today I just wanted to say that Ryan is going to have a LITTLE SISTER. That's right we found out today that we are having another girl.

We're really excited and I'm so glad that Ryan is going to have a little sister so close. Hopefully they will be great friends, I know my sister and I have always been the closest of friends and we're about as far apart as my two little girls will be. Now it's on to the challenge of naming this little girl...for those of you who know Jeremy you know that this will probably not be decided until she's born!

For this moment we're just excited to know that we're having another girl! At this rate Jeremy is really going to be outnumbered.

Cookie Tuesday

So yesterday we made sugar cookies with some of Ryan's cousins. The kids had a blast rolling, cutting and of course decorating and eating the cookies! Ryan is just like me, she seemed to like the dough and frosting better than the cooked cookie. It was fun to see her with her cousins, she loves playing with them.

Christmas

This Christmas was really nice. There were all of my favorites... a family cookie exchange, the Big Gibson Christmas party, a real Christmas tree and of course giving and receiving gifts! This year at the Christmas party we had a nativity which the grandkids starred in, it was really cute. I don't think they practiced much, if any, but we all got the picture. Then it was time to go to Arizona to spend Christmas with the in laws, we had a really good time and it was nice to see some of Jeremy's side that we don't see very often. Ryan was not interested in opening presents, all she wanted to do was eat her banana. She finally came to and opened some. Her favorite was a little rocking chair we got her, I mean Santa, she loves it. I think next year will be even more fun with her because she'll be able to better understand what Christmas is about and Sants, not to mention that she will have a new little brother or sister. THAT'S RIGHT I'M PREGNANT! We were kind of surprised just because with Ryan it took a couple of years but that wasn't the case this time. We are really excited. I'm 10 weeks even though I swear I look about 20 and the due date is July 29 or 30th , I'm not sure since I haven't seen the Dr. yet. 2009 here we come! Sorry the pictures aren't in order.
