This weekend was such an awesome weekend for us Gehl's. My husband a.k.a. 'lovaaa' and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary on Saturday...and how sweet it is that it was on Sweetest Day :) awww yes, it was grand! (I'm doing a fist pump just thinkin' about it!) Jake and I had a relaxing morning; well after we put our phones on vibrate that is :)
So any who-we took a nice ride through the Franklin Mountains here in El Paso, which then took us to our next adventure. The 3 of us went to a pumpkin patch and corn maze that had a few other fun activities as well. On our hay ride we were smack in the middle of a cotton field as well as chili fields, it was gorgeous.
Isabelle was so excited to go on a tractor ride; and she had on her boots n ruffled skirt; looking so snazzy in her outfit. Jake and I were beaming at our cute little family. Lately it seems we have been enjoying the 3 of us; really enjoying being parents; all tantrums aside. I don't mean we don't normally-but toddlers are tough! Sometimes I want to throw myself on the floor and scream too. Well that just wouldn't be appropriate though,. right? haha...Our arguments, well they just aren't there. I don't know if it was our week away or just knowing our anni was round the corner. Life has just been really relaxed and fun...a lot is changing for us and we can't help but smile and thank our Lord.
We concluded our day with the best margaritas we have ever had and a pot of chicken chili that had been simmering in the crock since noon. MMMMM!
Sunday we did nothing but veg all day, I mean sweat pants and all! Other than a little walk to get some fresh air; it was nothing but dips I made and football. Isabelle was kind enough to watch with us. At one point the smarty pants sat with Jake for awhile and would say comments like 'boom' and 'oh man!' when the players would fall or were tackled. Yep, this child has personality to the max!
On another note, Isabelle is pretty much speaking full sentences, I am talking 3 words here people! Seriously, she is growing way too fast..she's just a little person running and playing and talking. She tells us 'shhh' when her baby is sleeping, can burp and feed her (and for some reason will call her baby Jim after grandpa Jim, or Aimee, my bff here in this awful desert.)
She will ask for a pillow when lounging on the couch, and will repeatedly say 'o my goshhhh' when anything falls, breaks, or hearing a loud noise. She has now started saying 'oh snap', 'thank you' and 'please.' Which is making disciplining her very hard. Her little voice will so sweetly say 'please mama' or 'sorry.' I mean seriously! I just want to squeeze her and give everything and anything!
And my FAV...wait for it...wait for it!!!!!!!!!!! She folds her hands when we pray and says 'Amen.' Oh I love you Isabelle :) Yes your mom or 'Hannah' as you like to call me is obsessed with you!
