April Catch Up!

April was a BUSY month! We had my birthday, Brenna's First birthday, LOTS of pageant with practices and performances, Easter, hail and a wedding!

This is me and Stephi! I got to be one of the llama leaders in our Easter pageant this year! It was a lot of fun getting to know the llamas! I think I will have one whenever we have a place to keep it! They are so sweet! I took these pictures during out last performance which was the day before Easter.

This is Brenda May and Jo with Magi - the newest addition to the May Farm. Brenda owns the May Farm that's just outside of Hawley. She LOVES her animals and takes every opportunity to let others (especially kids) enjoy them as well.

After our last performance, we went to Abuelo's to eat with mom, dad, Jeremy, Ford and Donna. I love Abuelos! Then we came home to egg hunt and play! Mom got the kids some confetti eggs and they loved them! We celebrated Easter a day early since we were already all together :)

Jason let them have a few shots...

each....

then he got them back!

Brenna would rather swing!

I think she ate some confetti, too.

On Easter Sunday we got all dressed up and went to church. It was a really good service. Several people gave their testimony and a couple of people were baptised. We went home and ate and then that's when the weather started. We were watching the news when I heard a strange noise. I turned down the TV to hear the sound of the coming hail as it hit the houses and cars in our neighborhood. It was crazy!

The one on the left is the kids softball and the one on the right is a hail stone.

Most of it was ping pong ball size or smaller, but the big ones did alot of damage. We're getting a new roof!

We got to see most of my dad's side of the family when my cousin Carrie got married at the end of April. Unfortunatley, I forgot about my camera (really, I was just too busy trying to keep 3 kids contained and happy) so I didn't get any pictures of the wedding. I got some of the car ride to Waco though :) I know, the important stuff, right!

Stubborn little toot! She cried off and on for 45 min before she finally gave up and went to sleep!

Caden watched his movie and did great!

Jason was SUPER excited about a 4 hour car drive with 2 kids!!

Well, it's not their wedding picture, but it's a good one! Congrats to Carrie and Jason Sheppard!

Easter Egg Hunt 2011

Our Sunday School class has an Easter egg hunt together every year. There are so many kids, it's crazy, but alot of fun! It was so hard to get pictures of all three kids hunting eggs, but I did my best. Here are a few pictures from the hunt!

Gracie is ready to go with her super big princess bucket she picked out!

Didn't quite get the framing I wanted on this picture. I think I was holding a certain little girl who got me off a bit :)

Jason was pretending to take his eggs away and Caden was believing!

Brenna didn't get many eggs, but couldn't care less! She had fun playing.

What are these oddly shaped colorful balls?

She'd rather climb on the alligator.

Those huge buckets make it look like they didn't get many eggs!

I LOVE my beautiful kids! And Brenna's smile in this pic is my favorite!

Gracie is my picture taker, she smiles and poses on command. Caden on the other hand ... well, you see. Brenna is hit or miss, too.

Happy Easter From the Gibsons!

Easter Pictures 2011

Robyn did such a GREAT job taking the kid's pictures last week. I love the girl in thier pretty Easter dresses and Caden looks so handsome in his casual button up and flip flops :)! It was a little cool and windy and Brenna got upset towards the end, but overall, I think the photo shoot went really well!

Thanks agian, SO much, Robyn!

Brenna's 1st Birthday!

I can't believe that Brenna is ONE today! I doesn't seem possible that it's been a year since she looked like this picture!!! She is my little momma's girl! When all the other two want is their daddy, I can count on Brenna to only want me :) I love how she wrinkles her nose when she really smiles and how she toddles around. She LOVES her big brother and sister even if they nock her down or take toys away. She's my littlest sweetie.

We had a party on Saturday to celebrate!

My friend Holly made the banner for her the day she was born and it was perfect for our cupcake theme party! I think I will use it every year!

Gotta have balloons!

Pawpaw knows how it works :)

The guys

Balloon shooting is the best!

She gave Great Grandpa and Grandma a balloon and then took it back...she's not good at sharing right now.

Handsome boy

Look at those teeth! She's got 6!

Gracie had to get out her camp chair, too!

It was a little windy

YAY! Cake time!

Can I really have this?

Yummy!!

Present time! Thank you everyone for my presents!!

She likes to put the headbands on and off. More off then on :)

Here's the Birthday girl this morning sporting her new PJ's, crazy hair and carrying her phone. She's 1 going on 13!

Happy Birthday Brenna!
