Occupying Gabriel

I was folding clothes and Gabriel was very interested. He wouldn't leave me alone so I dressed him up. He enjoyed it. He is wearing Ruth's NSU shirt, Daddy's socks on his hands, and Zoe's bathing suit bottom on his head.

Zoe is starting to want to crawl or at least move forward. She likes to be on her belly every once in a while. She has a little cleavage in this pic. I'll have to teach her about modesty.

Memorial Day Weekend

We went to my Aunt Charlene's on Saturday. It was great fun! Almost the whole family was there minus a few. We enjoyed some good food (like always). Our family knows how to cook, yeah baby! We also had fun swimming and boating on the lake. She has the best house. Gabe was a hit with everyone. Gabriel was in the pool for hours and he loved the boat. He fell asleep riding on it with his daddy. Zoe enjoyed the fresh air and the jacuzzi. She got to meet the Davenport's for the first time. Ruth got to hang with her babies all day long. She was pumped. We took a lot of cool pics and we didnt want to leave. It was a great day!

Four Generations

We went to visit my grandmother (Mawmaw Tootles) for Mother's Day. She is my mom's mom. So we had to take a pic of the four of us together. Mawmaw is 80-something, my mom is 50, i am 27 and Zoe is 3 1/2 mos.

My grandmother is the ultimate Mommy! She raised 12 (Ann, Althea, Larry, Lois, Melvin, Darrell, Gail, Terry, Cindy, Julie, Benji, & Nancy) of her own and did her part in helping with 70+ grand and great grand children. I nominate her for mommy of the decade!

Names

I love finding out the meaning of a name. A name is so important. It is something used everyday of your life. It is spoken by people that love you and people you dont even know. It can even be spoken by an enemy. That can be a powerful thing for you if your name means something good. But maybe not so good if you name means something not so good. The bible says that "Death and life are in the power of the tongue" (Prov 18:21). It also talks about speaking positive and how important a spoken word is. Just think all God had to do was speak and the world appeared. Things happen by spoken words.

Thats why I put a lot of thought into my children's names.
Gabriel Evertt Chi - God's Strong and Anointed Man
Zoe Christabelle - Life & Beautiful Christian or Beautiful Anointed
Every time someone calls Gabriel they are speaking that he is God's Man and when they say Zoe they are speaking Life. I'm thankful for my children's names. I think they are great. The best translation that I could find of my name is a strong spirit. Thats positive I believe.
A good website for finding meanings of names is www.behindthename.com or you could just do a search for baby names.

Looking forward to naming another baby!! If you need anyhelp let me know.

Daddy, Mommy, Gabriel, & Zoe

These were taken before church. Gabe and Daddy were dressed alike.

I think every grandkid in my family has a picture on this tractor.

Gabriel's Sissy

The first pic is something i did trying to keep Gabriel busy. I think I actually made more chores for my self by giving him two cupcakes. The next two pictures are what he does when i dont give him cupcakes. He loves his sissy. He is always tr

yin to give her her pacifier or give her sugar. And she lets him! I am thankful that he loves her. I'd rather him be kissing than hitting!

Mommy, Mama, Mom, Mother

I dont care which one my babies call me it all sound great. Even when i hear it every second Gabe is awake. Mama, Mama, Mama!! Being a mommy is one of the most important things in my life. I love the feeling of picking up a crying Zoe and watching her tears stop because of being held or the fact that sometimes only I can figure out what Gabriel is trying to say. I even love that i cant get though a whole blog without Gabriel needing to be in my lap.

Frazzled

Do you ever feel like this? I did today. The phone rings, the baby cries, the other baby cries, the phone rings, i have to do this, i have to do that. WOW. I am definately frazzled today. But Gabriel is now asleep and Zoe should be soon...nope nevermind shes grunting. LOL. I do love my babies and i really really appreciate all my mommy did for me!

Christmas Eve 06

This was on Christmas Eve. Still loving the Saints!! Gabe was so happy this night. He had Aunt Holly and Maw Maw laughing all night. I know this is an old pic but its cute!! I'm at my moms and she has the kids and the pics were on her computer. Its nice to have a mom to watch the babies so i can post a blog. LOL.

Sleeping Angels

So sweet. They were out for the night! Its so fun having two. Gabriel really loves his sister. He would have loved to know that he was sleeping with her.

Geaux Saints!!

My babies are definately Saints Fans!! Black and Gold. Gabirel really enjoyed taking pics with sissy. Zoe may have got poked a little too much but it was fun.
