Well I will just say right now there will be quite a few pictures on this post due to it being Gabe's first birthday and Halloween. They are out of order... Sorry! Gabe's birthday went well. We had a lot of family come to support his big day. He had a great birthday. We had spaghetti for dinner and then cake and ice cream. I think the cake turned out great!! Unfortunately I can't say that I did it by myself. Brad and Laura convinced me to do this cake. ( I really wanted to do but thought it would be too hard) They assured me that with their help it wouldn't take too long. So thanks to Brad and Laura for all your help with the cake. It looked so pretty and tasted sooooo YUMMY. Gabe loved all his presents. So thank you to every one!! I can't believe my little guy is already one. He is getting so big and definitely developing a personality. He brings so many smiles and a lot of laughter. We sure do love him and look forward to many more years with this cute boy.
Halloween was interesting. I don't know if Gabe really like it. It partially could be because we kept him up past his bed time to go trick or treating. We dressed him up as a pumpkin. I wanted to do a cowboy but we found this cheap costume for 5 bucks. Gabe loved the candy but didn't like going up to the houses to get it. I think he was scared of the people so we had to hold him then he would put out his bucket. He ended up having a fun night and was excited to get to bed!
The rest of these pictures are random taken over the past couple of days... enjoy!

Laughing at everyone else around him.


This picture is hilarious to me. It happened yesterday.. I will start by saying that Gabe loves to play in the cabinets. So this bowl was out already. Well yesterday morning when I was trying to eat breakfast this little guy started reaching for it and fell backwards in to the bowl. This is how he ended up. I laughed so hard.

End of Halloween night.



After eating cake. He had it everywhere.

Joe making Gabe sad. Pitiful sad face huh??

Likes to play with pots and a wooden spoon.


We got the table for him and his PJ's he got from Gram and Papa Stan.


We had cake batter left over so we decided to make Gabe his own cake.

Love this face!
