Crafts

The other day we were out in the city, for those of you that don't know we live in Roosevelt and Salt Lake City is "The City." Well we stopped at a Toys R Us to look at birthday gifts for Gabriella. When you only go out to, "The City" every five or six month you have to shop for things early. Back the the story Gabriella needed warm water for her bottle so dad ran into Michael's to see about the water. On the way out he made the mistake of noticing that all the beads were on sale. Back in the car dad told mom that the beads were on sale as he was pulling out. Dad had to find another parking spot so mom could buy beads. Now mom had new necklaces. The bows are more hair things for Gabriella, if dad had anything to do with the hair no flowers would be involved.

ANTICS

Gabriella has been running around the house getting into trouble. One of her favorite places to play and try hide out is the bathroom. The other day I let Gabriella play with my keys. We put her to bed and when Lisa went to use the restroom she found something. I heard Lisa say, "come and see what your daughter did." By the way when every Gabriella is in trouble it is, "your daughter." Anyway I found Lisa in the bathroom looking into the toilet. This is what I saw.

Now that is not all our little monkey has been out to. She loves to play in the dishwasher while mom and dad are loading it with dirty dishes, or taking out the clean one. The other day she had some toys that she threw into the dishwasher for a good cleaning. Then while we were taking out the clean dishes she found a little goody.

Also while having fun in the bathroom she found the toilet paper that she loves to unroll.
Lets just say that mom and dad have to keep the bathroom door closed at all times now.

Temple

On Friday we went with Lisa's family and Andy's mom and Sister to the Draper Temple open house. It was early start, we left Roosevelt at 6:30 am so we could be there by 10:00. It was really neat to watch Gabriella's reaction as we walked through the temple.
Sense we don't get out to the city much, after the temple we did a little shopping. It was just nice to have day away from home and not have to worry about cleaning and other things.

Saturday Cartoons

Gabriella like to watch cartoon like, Strawberry short cake, Care bares, little people and cabbage patch kids. Mom and dad though they would introduce her to good old Saturday morning cartoon. The cartoon they have on in the morning are lame. To bad we don't have a channel that plays all of the good cartoons. I guess we could get all of the old classics on dvd but come on people. What ever happen to Transformers, TMNT, Ghostbusters, Sonic, Smurfs, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, Ducktales, Gummy Bears, He-Man, Darkwing Duck, Bettle Juice and the list goes on. What ever happend the good old days? I mean dinosours that turn into a trading card? I think that is just bad cartoons.

Park!!

The other day we went the the park to let Gabriella play around a little. She got a little nervous on the slides but did alright as long as dad was sliding down with her. Dad sliding down with her was a little comical because he did not really fit down the slides. We took her to the swing set next and she loved that. She would lean really far forward, we tried to lay her back but she would have none of the. To get her to look up for a picture was hard enough.

She was clapping her hand the whole time.

Maybe she had to look at the ground and the is why she would not lean back.
