Saturday Night Racing & Easter

Holy Cow! Over 150 pics in the last 3 days. I don't know where to start. This will be a very short but sweet update. I'll have to post later with more details.

Getting ready for the races....Gibson's in Uncle Josh's race car

Jason,Gibson and I went to the races Saturday night to watch Uncle Josh race. Gisbon just sits in his little race car chair and watches the races like a big boy. At least for a little while until Donkey has to entertain him with smarties. :) (that's what is in his mouth in this picture.)

Thanks Donkey! We love you!

We had Easter egg hunts galore over the weekend. Here are just a few pics.

Here he is taking inventory of his eggs. He counted all the way to 20 and then started over again with 1. :) I think he wanted to make sure he had a total on his eggs in case Payden-"the egg thief "-attacked. Gibson wasn't too keen on sharing with cousin Payden. We're still working on the sharing bit. :)

Family Pic (ignore my foot) :)

That's all for now. I've got tons more pics but I have to go to bed. Baseball season beckons bright and early tomorrow morning. :( I'll try and update over the weekend. Have a great week!

Kiss it!

So, in the last few weeks, when Gibson falls down and "hurts" himself, he always asks me to kiss "it"; whatever it may be. It's usually his head, sometimes his leg and last week it was his bottom. :) Anyways, I was on the phone this morning and Gibson slipped off his step stool and hit his shin. He interupted my phone call to tell me to kiss it. I didn't kiss it fast enough so he rolled up his pant leg and kissed it himself. :)

No pictures today. Gibson had his easter party at school but I forgot to take my camera. I borrowed Mom's camera but you have to be more intelligent than the camera to operate it. Apparntly, I am not. I did manage to get a few pictures though. :) I'll try and post them over the weekend. Also, a quick update, Gibson had a meeting this past week with the speech therapist. He is having trouble pronouncing some of his words correctly. The speech therapist will work with him 3 times a month until he turns 3 at which point he'll attend a speech therapy class at the local public school. Other than the speech, Gibson exceeded the "normal" in all of the other developmental categories. We were very relieved that his speech problem was just that and we could take action to correct it before it got worse. That's it for now! I hope you all have a very safe and happy spring break!

Catching Up....Ambulances, Snow and a few other things

I'm still not sure how time goes by so fast and I manage not to keep my blog updated. Anyways, let me try to catch you up.

We went to Jason's work a couple of weeks ago to visit. Gibson is absolutely fascinated with ambulances. He always wants to see the lights. I'm not posting it but I have a picture of Gibson actually opening the door to the ambulance like he's fixing to jump in and take a call.

Somewhat disappointing to his dad, Gibson also likes fire trucks (just not as much as ambulances). You would think by his reaction that this is the first time for him to see an ambulance or a fire truck. What you may not know is that he sees one or the other (sometimes both) every 3rd day when Jason works.
Here we are snuggled up on the coach not feeling very good. We caught the "yuck" that was going around. Thank God we haven't caught the flu (yet...knock on wood). Poor little cousin Payden has had it twice in 3 weeks. :(
Once Gibson was feeling better, the acoustic part of Post Oak Savannah came over for a short practice. Gibson sat in and picked with the best of them.
He knows exactly how to hold the pick (and how to drop them inside the guitar).
Usually in the mornings, I give Gibson his breakfast and then I'm sort of "in and out" of the kitchen while I get ready and Gibson eats. One morning, he decided to watch TV and eat his breakfast in the living room. This is how I found him.
Then on Sunday, when it was 70 degrees outside, Gibson followed me out to the truck to get something. Like the outfit? That shirt is WAY too small for him (size 18 months) but he INSISTED on wearing it. And the shoes are Jason's. I can already tell he's going to be one of those guys who'll go check the mail in his underwear. I haven't a clue where he gets his fashion sense.
So Sunday, it's 70 degrees and sunny. Monday morning, we've got almost 4 inches of snow on the ground and it's in the 20's. Texas weather...you gotta love it. So Gibson got all bundled up to go play in the snow for the very first time before we had to be at school. His very first step into the snow.
"What is this stuff Mom?"

He took off walking thru the snow like no body's business. (BTW, I'm such a hick.) Anyways, he loved it and thought it was so funny.
"What did you say this stuff is supposed to do?"

Before we went outside, I was putting on my shoes and Gibson says to Jason & I "Let's build a snowman." It was so weird. We hadn't discussed building a snowman at all. But Jason wanted to build Gibson one so here's a picture of Jason's 2 minute snowman. Pretty sad looking, huh?
Just a few pics of Gibson in the snow.

Giving my big boy kisses!
