Party

So, we have been doing a lot with Tate lately and I always take pictures. I am going to try and update the blog every day or so with the events.

Today, we start with AJ's birthday. AJ is a little girl who goes to daycare with Tate. This was a July 26, 2008.

This a Baby Olivia getting ready to hit the pinata. (There are three O/Alivias at daycare. Baby Olivia, Olivia Hunt and Alivia J, aka AJ)

Presents!!


AJ's farm cake. She loves horses.


Tate was playing outside and came in looking like this. I thought it was a black eye...but it is just dirt. :)

Wednesday Nights

Just about every Wednesday we do the same thing.....Disc Golf doubles and Juice & Jammies.

Chris is the president of the South Puget Sound Disc Golf Association. About a year ago Olympia finally got its own course at Yauger Park. Every Wednesday night the have random flip doubles.

Tate and I usually hang out with him for a hew holes and then go to Barnes & Noble for Juice & Jammies story time.

Most nights, Tate is really good at J & J. Not last night. Tate is one of those kids that does what other kids are doing. If there only a few kids and they are all quiet and listening, then he is quiet and listening.......if there are loud, cant sit still kids....Tate is loud and cant sit still.

Last night was a night with a lot of kids. About 15. And of course, Tate ends up next to the two loudest kids...and neither of them can sit still for 5 seconds. So, Tate is doing the exact same thing. I was so freaking annoyed.

We left before the last book was over and we didnt stay to play with the trains.

Hopefully next week there are either less kids, or I pick the quiet kid to sit Tate next to.

9 days to go!!

Today is my last day of work for two weeks. WOO HOO!!

9 days until the wedding. I am so damn excited!!

I probably wont blog until after the wedding....but I dont think anyone reads this anyway. HA!

So, if anyone is reading....have a great two weeks. I will be back with pictures!!!

Love,
Soon to be MrsGilby

16 days to go

16 days. That is it. That is not very many. I am very excited about the wedding.....and hanging out with all our friends & family. I hope the weather is nice. *sigh* That is all for now.

30! Yes, 30!

I am 30 today. 30! *sigh*
I am having a hard time with 30...but I think it will pass. I just feel weird saying it. 30. I want to be, oh, 28. I think 28 is a good age to be.

23 days to go

Only 23 days left until the wedding. I am so excited....but sick of planning. I really wish I could hire a wedding planner to handle the last things that need to be done.

I really dont want to do the programs. Can I just have everyone wear nametags? HA!

Me and a Bucket

Bachelorette & Dress

This past weekend was my bachelorette weekend. Me and 6 girls went to Seaside Oregon and rented a house. It was tons of fun! Hopefully I can get some pictures posted later this week.

And.....my dress is in (again). Now just need to get a few little alterations and we are ready to go! WOO HOO!!!

Bridal Shower

This is a bit late. The shower was on May 10.




















I also received some pics from the girls that were there. I need to find them and post them as well. It was a great day! I have some great, wonderful friends.

My fate with wedding dresses

Months ago I bought a wedding dress online. It is a beautiful dress, and it happened to be named "Adrienne". Well, I got it, and there was a pretty big smudge on it. The dress shop sent me a check for $300 to have it cleaned. (I still havent and I am sure I blew the money long ago). Once I tried it on I knew it wasnt the one.

I tried on and ordered a dress from a local shop here in Oly. My dress arrived yesterday. Today Natalie, Krissi and I went to try it on. It fits, but.......it has a spot on it! Can you beleive it?!?! Two out of two.

At first the shop was going to try and get the spot out themselves....but they decided they would just send it back and order a new one. *sigh*

So, now I wait....for my dress....again.

I have this feeling that on our wedding day, Tate will run up and hug me, with dirt or chocolate on his hands....and I will have little finger prints on my dress.

I just think it is my fate.

(No, you cant see pics of the dress, I will post gobs & gobs of pics after the wedding)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRITT!!!

My little sister is 20 today. 20!!!! In my eyes she is still two. I wish I had a picture of her on my computer of when she was 2. I hope she has a wonderful day and doesnt get to drunk.

Sunshine

Last Sunday was a beautiful day. Tate and I went to the Farmers Market and down to the water. There were jelly fish everywhere! It was neat.

Brook & Sarah met us at the Farmers Market. We hung out in the nice warm sun.

We then went to Brook & Sarahs house for lunch. We hung out in the back, ate & listened to music. It was lots of fun.

I asked Tate who is best friend is (thinking he would pick someone from daycare). He thought for a second and said "you are mommy." Melt my heart. How cute was that! So then of course our friends think he is the cutest sweetest thing.

All in all it was a great day.

Then I woke up Monday, sunburned with an awesome tan line across my nose from my sun glasses. Nice.
