Happy 4th Birthday Abram!!!

This year I was blessed to be able to spend two full weeks with Abram. Abram is a very special person and I don't think he will ever know how much I appreciate the person he is. He isn't like anyone else I know. He makes me one proud Auntie!!!

Happy Birthday Abram!!!

I am so sorry we won't be at your party. We really really want to be there. I hope you have an awesome day! WE LOVE YOU, Uncle Gabe, Auntie Samantha, Ella, and Noah

I had an ultrasound today...

and found out that we are having another...

BOY!!!

Cruise to Cabo

We boarded our cruise in San Diego harbor. We got settled in and headed out to explore the ship. We had a fabulous dinner and met some great people. When we woke up on Friday morning, we saw sunshine and thought we would have great day. We went to the spa and got couples massages. It was amazing!!! We went to lunch and could barely finish our lunch because the boat was rocking and thrashing all over the place.Apparently, our ship was going right through tropical storm Olaf. Next thing I know Gabe is really sick and the sun is gone, it's raining with wind gusts up to 50 mph. Thankfully we when we woke up on Saturday the sun was shining again and we were in Cabo San Lucas!!! We spend the day shopping, eating, and touring the peninsula. We went back to our ship and swam and laid by the pool. But within hours the storm was back with a vengence. Needless to say the rest of the cruise was spent inside the ship trying to keep for being sick.
