Hally and Katy came to Lexington to visit us last week. We had so much fun with them!! Suzana loved having a big friend to play with. Hally was a great bedtime story reader! Suzana is acting out the story!

While they were here, I had some time to sew since I wasn't entertaining Suzana 24/7. These are my first pair of ruffle capri pants that Suzana is modeling.

On Friday, a couple of friends had baby Wolfie and me a baby "sprinkle." Here are some awesome friends I have made in Lexington!!

Time to catch up!

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted anything! Here are some pictures of what Suzana has been up to the past few weeks.

She loves to love "her" babies! She and Brenna are so beautiful in their Fourth of July colors!

Paw Paw and Gi Gi bought the baby boy a bed and Suzana and Daddy were a great team in putting it together! She actually did help. She has amazing fine motor skills!

She had to try it out to make sure it was comfy :-)
Giving Wolfie a big kiss!

Love this picture!

After I took this picture, I told her to open her eyes....

This is what I got!! haha!

We can't believe we will adding our baby boy in less than seven weeks!! Time is flying by! Suzana has been busy this summer with the pool and gymnastics. She has become quite a daddy's girl too! She has developed some advanced skills, such as drawing a person, writing some letters, stringing very tiny beads to make necklaces, drawing a house and other objects that she labels by herself (a pool with slides, a ladder) and they actually look like what she is drawing! She can name a word for almost every letter sound. Her storytelling, memory and vocabulary are amazing too! We just feel so blessed with her in our lives! Although her stubborness can be a little challenging at times, we know it is because she just knows what she wants and will do what she can to get it. That is a great skill to have growing up (maybe not as her parents when she is three though)! We are excited to meet our baby boy and see all the blessings he brings to our lives too! I will try to keep up with posts, but bare with me if I am a little slow! Have a great day!

King's Island

Josh, Suzana and I, along with our friends, went to King's Island on Monday. We had an awesome time!! We were there for TEN hours! Suzana loved all of the rides, she was SO brave. I am pretty sure that I was more scared for her to ride them than she was to ACTUALLY ride them. There were a lot more rides that she could ride by herself than I realized, but she hopped right on and took off! What a big girl.


We had to get the classic King's Island picture in front of the fountains on our way in. She rode this way quite a bit, which made daddy's back ache (mama's just ached from walking all day!) But we didn't care :-)

The first ride we hit was the carousel. Unlike at Gatti Town where we have to ride it 10 times every visit, we only rode it once here since there were MANY more fun options!!
Of course she loved the swings.
Suzana and Sydney are getting ready to ride the Beetle Bugs. This was their first time on them, and they had no idea how much they were going to absolultely LOVE this one! They rode it AT LEAST 15 times!!

Ah, now they know!! I could have taken 100 pictures of them on this ride! They were hilarious!

Little crazy lady in the front of the roller coaster with her hands up!!!

The bumper cars were another favorite. Anything she can drive is always a hit!!

Another fun car ride, with a boy we don't know. This won't happen again for A LONG time! :-)

Cooling down with Sydney at the water park. It was actually cloudy most of the day, so the weather was perfect!

We also took a ride in the kiddie "boo house." Although she hid her head in daddy's arm for most of the ride, that was the one she talked about the most! She even made up some very imaginitave stories about the "big guys." I think she may be a writer with all the stories she makes up on her own, they are hilarious and you have to wonder where that little brain comes up with so much!

Hope you have a very safe and Happy Fourth of July!!

Busy Bee!

Suzana Kate has been one busy girl since summer started. Of course we are at the pool swimming as much as possible, but she has also started taking gymnastics and participated in a week long music and movement class last week.

This was her first day of gymnastics, she had a ball and was such a good girl!
Check out those leg muscles!

The music camp was at our church, which is also where Suzana will be starting preschool in the fall. Her friend Sydney took the class as well, and they both had so much fun!

Shakin' it!

Hope all of you dads had a wonderful Father's Day!! Josh had to sleep all day after working all night and then had to go back in, so we didn't get to see much of him, but we are so lucky to be blessed with him, as well with our dads/Suzana's grandpas! We love you all!

S'more Please!

Josh got a new grill for an early Father's Day present. It has a charcoal side, so we decided to make s'mores one evening. Suzana thought they were yummy...

and messy!

She even made one on her OWN grill!

New Additions!

Our niece Brenna and nephew Luke were born on May 31, 2010. They are both perfect!Suzana loves her new cousins! This is right after they were born. She sang, "Twinkle, Twinkle" to them. It was priceless!GiGi with her three grandkids. One more to add in September :-)In not such exciting news, we went to a movie in the park last weekend and they had a petting zoo. Suzana loved the sheep! Guess we will have a farm one day with sheep, goats and horses!

Summer Fun!

Well, there hasn't been too much to blog about in the Gibson family lately. Below you will see the majority of what we have been up too. Pool, outside, playing in the new sandbox, driving the jeep; pretty much the same thing everyday! At least Suzana has plenty of friends to do all of these fun things with! She plays with Sydney pretty much everyday and they have a ball! Yesterday our friends Ellie and baby Julia came over to play too. The BIG pool opens this weekend, so that will add a little variety to our pool time. Have a great weekend!

Suzana has become quite the little gymnast. She even does back flips off the side of the pool into the grass!!
