On "The Plane"

Twister Madness

Sweet and Clean in Christmas Jammies!

The Wild Bunch!!

my lovely baby bump!

For all of you wanting to see my belly, this is all I've got for you at 14 weeks...I'm sure I'll make up for it soon enough though. I think a week of all-you-can-eat on our cruise just may do it.

I'm feeling great now, I finally have energy to exercise and clean the house and not take so many naps!

**UPDATE** 16 weeks (11/22/09)

Too many days at the buffet or a growing baby? You decide!

We love to see the Temple

Mom, Dad, Curt & Shayla took a road trip up to the Temple this past Saturday. While up there we got to see Melanie who was up with the Student Ward. It was a BEAUTIFUL day at the Temple.
Loving parents (Dad is almost smiling even!).

Beautiful Fall day.

This is the "We are off like a herd of turtles" picture!

Gibb Girls

The St. Louis Gibbs were up for Labor Day weekend, the girls are getting so big and are so cute!

Labors on Labor Day

For Labor Day dad rented a back-hoe Tractor to take out some trees. He also rented Curtis and Tyler as his cheap labor. (They missed you Riley!)This is my favorite picture.. Dad with his hands on his hips watching Ty, it's pretty much how most of the work happened.Curtis posing with one of the trees.
Dad posing as Big Foot, I think.

Happy Birthday Mel!

Tonite was Melanie's 20th Birthday! Filled with Chinese food, presents and "Green Stuff"!

The big 2-0, except Dad asked "Your'e 110?!". (Unfortunatley she blew out all her candles, better luck next year!)
Melanie- waiting for me (Bug) to bring her presents one by one.
Presents from faithful Kalie!

This year Mom and Dad will celebrate thier first year of not having a teenager in the house! Yesterday Melanie said, "Dad, tomorrow I won't be a teenager so we have to start getting along!". No word yet on if that has started happening!

Tonite Dad was heard singing, "No more teenagers, no more hormone issues!!". To which Melanie replied, "Dad, I am turning 20- not into a BOY!".

Melanie has made us smile and laugh for twenty years, I am so grateful for this last addition to our wonderful family!

Love you all!- Bug

It's a grandson/nephew/boy cousin!

Grandbaby #5 will be a boy! Here is baby showing off the goods and his cute little face!

A Visit from Nana, Papa, and Melanie

We really enjoyed having Nana, Papa, and Melanie at our house this week!  These are just a few fun pictures from Cincinnati.

Easton and Melanie.  Aunt Mel made sure that Easton had good hair this week!

4th of July Slip N Slide Fun

Melanie had the good idea of playing 'Slip N Slide Baseball' on the 4th of July.  It was an awesome time!

Melanie and Curtis getting ready to slide.

It looks like Curtis won the race!

Dad crossing the finish line and sliding through the grass.

Curtis about to wipe out!  It seems like he was the one who had to do the "test runs" for all of the "good" ideas.  Thankfully, he walked away with only some scratches!

Easton and Riley

More Slip N Slide Pictures

Brady and Shayla 

Shayla is getting her first taste of pregnancy making her have to miss out on some of the fun.  She did go down the Slip N Slide once on her butt.  At least she wasn't puking in this picture, though!

Mexico

Curtis and I had a great cruise last week. We rode ATVs through rivers, mountains and the jungle in Puerto Vallarta. Shopped in Mazatlan. We watched dolphins and seals as we parasailed in Cabo San Lucas. We enjoyed sunrises off our balcony each morning (not to mention some amazing food on the ship). Here are a few pictures of our fun!

Sledding!!

Riley taking Easton on his first sledding trip. He enjoyed flying down the hill and dodging the other kids.
