Gillian's 3 Months old today!!!!!!!!!



Jack had swimming lessons today. The kids pool was out of order so they were in the big pool and then the warm pool. GaGa came to watch. Jack did really good once again. At the end of class Jack was in the warm pool walking on the seat part in the pool. He miss stepped and fell in. There was nothing for him to grab onto so I jumped in and saved him. The life guard came over to see if he was OK. I think it scared me more then it did him!

Surgery day! Mom and Holly came over around 12ish. Holly stayed with the kids at the house while Mom took me to the Surgery Center of Fort Collins. This was the 1st time I had left Gillian! But Holly did a great job! Surgery went good. Only lasted about 10 minutes or so but I was in recovery for about 1 hour and half. Then went back to my house packed up the car and the kids and went to Mom and Dad's for the weekend.

Mom and Dad dropped us off at our house while they went to church. Then Holly came back over and the 4 of us went to Chili's for lunch while Mom and Dad went over to Grandmas for lunch. After we ate we went to Grandmas house to visit. Aunt Bartie and Uncle Glenn where there and wanted to see Gillian.

Today I had my Pre-Op Appointment and the kids went with me and they were so good. Since they were so good during my boring appointment I took them to Chuck-E-Cheese for a treat! I didn't tell Jack where we were going so when we pulled into the parking lot he said "Chuck-E-Cheeses! Really Mom?" So cute that there made my day!


Gillian all cozy on her bouncer! Sleeping in her crib!Chuck-E-Cheeses!!! What fun!! We had a blast! Jack kicking a soccer ball.

Jack eating pizza not really wanting to smile for a picture! Watching the show while eating dinner!Back to eat more pizza! Jack being silly! Gillian asleep in her car seat! She actually had a lot of fun as well. She is a people watcher and thought this place was funny. She just watch the kids (mainly her brother!) play and love the music and kept smiling the whole time until the end when she fell asleep. I didn't want them stamping her hand so she had to wear a sticker with the stamp on it!Jack and Gillian getting ready to leave after a Very Fun evening!

While I was getting Gillian out of the car Jack ran to the front door. When I got to the front door he was in between the screen door and the front door. Silly kid I thought he was stuck but no he had done this on purpose! So I had to take a picture or two!
