Baby Shower

Judy Siring, Bonnie Keltz and Sharon Morehouse held a baby shower for me. Many wonderful people came. We had snacks, drinks and gifts. Gabby got so many nice things, I can't wait until she can wear some of the clothes and play with some of the toys she got, she will love them all I am sure.
My grandma, Gabby's great grandma, cross stitched a very cool blanket that goes with her pack and play. It has a soft fleece backing for gabby to lay on.

A fun diaper cake with teething rings and a fun toy on top. It is so cute, I almost don't want to take it apart.

My mom, Gabby and I before the shower. Mom helped out a lot with the shower also, including holding Gabby most of the time. She did share with the other guests however and they were excited to hold her.

Our family!

Gabby and me by her diaper cake. It was so pretty and is our colors exactly. Gabby looked pretty cute in her pink fluffy skirt and headband. She even wore the booties that I wore at my baby shower, that was very cool.

Grandpa & Grandma

Finally got a picture of the other Grandparent's. Gabby is happy to have them so close as my parents live in Dillon. They have done so much for us already, bringing dinner, cleaning house and just keeping me company.

Happy Valentine's Day

Gabrielle Marie Willett

Gabrielle Marie Willett arrived at 6:54pm on January 30, 2011 at Barrett Memorial Hospital in Dillon, MT. She was 7lbs 14.9oz and 20.5 inches long. She had a full head of hair, though most of it was in the back. She is a beautiful little girl and we are so happy to welcome her into our family. Gabby, loves her dad. Phil calls her peanut and it fits her perfectly.

Sometimes her eyes go cross eyed. She loves to be wide a wake and look around. Loves to have her arms out and her hands up by her face.

Gabby and Kassie, our "daughter" on the UM Western basketball team. Kassie will be a great "big sister" as she is only a sophomore and has two more years here at Western. We love having two daughters!

Superbowl Sunday Andy, Albee, Brook and Hudson came over and spent the day with us and Gabby. Brooke loved her and didn't ever want to put her down. Gabby's aunt Christine also came over and she also would not let go of Gabby.

As everyone knows we have a beagle named Mac. We had to introduce Gabby and him so they could get used to each other. Mac loves Gabby, just not when she is crying. He is always sniffing her and watching over her when she is in her chair.

Grandpa Jay came to visit Gabby and us in the hospital.

Grandma Kay also made a trip over to see us in the hospital. She was delighted to see another Grandchild in the family.

Update!!!!

Well, so much has gone on since August when I last posted on our blog. Just wanted to give you a couple of pictures to keep you all up to date.

October 23, 2010 - My parents purchased season tickets to the UM Grizzly football games this year. There seats were awesome! They were individual seats with backs on them and up high so you can see everything. Mom treated me to a game for my birthday. We had a great time. They have these donut holes on their level at one of the food stands and they are incredible. I thought I was going to eat them all day. The game was also great, the Griz won on a last second touch down pass, the stadium certainly rocked when that happened. I know my parents have enjoyed the seats as they didn't miss a game and only one game was freezing. I hope they get them again, as I have never seen them so excited about something.

November 2010 - As you can see, yes, that is a baby bump. We found out we were due to have a baby in January in June of 2010. My grandpa turned 83 this year. We had to take a comparing bellies picture. It was a fun picture to take and one that I will cherish for a long time.

December 2010 - This picture was on our Christmas card this year, but I just absolutely love it. We had a great Christmas again with both families. We tried to limit our travel this year as much as possible, so Phil actually got to see what my family does on Christmas Eve. It was nice just to be home alot. We got lots of gifts for our baby, so we should be all prepared for her to arrive.
