Birthday Boy!!!!!

I am a little late on Gil's second birthday, but better late than never right? Here are some pictures of him getting ready to open some presents. Bob was out of town on business:( but we were so lucky to have Aunt Kennan and Aunt Brooke come and celebrate with us!
He really understood the present thing this year.
A little brotherly help from Tucker.
Minie was watching the opening of presents from her bike.
Daddy gave Gil his own HUGE dump truck. He liked it but Minie LOVED it. When she would disappear we would find her in the back of the truck just sitting there.
Nannie gave Gil this AWESOME space ship and toys. This was the hit of the party. All the kids wanted to play with it. Even the big boys.
Birthday Cake
Serious Gil waiting for his cake.

Jude enjoying a little play time with the iplay rocketship.
Ummm ice cream.....
Checking it out...
A little brotherly bugging.
Gil's favorite present hands down was the big ball given to him by his big brothers. He had a great day, but daddy was sorely missed. It is always fun to have my sisters come down. They are always a great time, but 7.5 kids is a lot for three ladies:) We missed you mom.

Some of Gil's 2 year pictures....

• This weekend we headed back to our home town because Bob had meetings, we miss the fall, and we love to see our friends and family. Brooke and I took some pictures of Gil for his 2 year old pictures and really hers turned out a lot better than mine see! Thanks to my dear friend Amber we got to visit her parents awesome house and their many barns. It was really fun....enjoy! I will try to post some of his actual Birthday party this week.

My first attempt at black and white.....

Gwynnie's giggle...I love her chubby fingers in this picture!
Happy Gil Bear, but by that afternoon he was very feverish.....Last night Bob took him in to the doctor and he has an ear infection. both his tubes are out so I guess we will see if he is going to need tubes again!

Geena is my favorite 6 year old ! She is so sweet with Gwyn and Gil. I like to call her my little nanny. She entertains my kids often for me. Love her like she is my own. While we were taking pictures the other day she and Gwyn were whispering to each other.....so cute!

Her first day at pre-school.....where is the time going?

Here she is ready to go....and oh so tired of mother's photo shoots!! Little brother feeling the need to have his back pack on too. It's a good thing he was down for his nap when I had to take her, I am afraid he would have had a melt down with out sister bear.

Talking to daddy who was out of town for her first day...I don't know who it was harder for, her or her dad! The other night after Bob and I had been laying in bed for awhile when he rolled over laughing, telling me that Gwyn had proposed to him earlier in the evening:)
Waiting for Miss Debbie's door to open....
Gwyn in class with her friend S.J. She loved Pre-school and didn't stop talking about it all day. She loves Miss Debbie ( helps that she is my good friend!) She was really tired after the long two hours of strenuous work;) We LOVE pre-school
