We are in the midst of a January heat wave! It has been so nice for about the last week and we are all loving every minute of it! The kids and I have made an effort to play outside everyday this week and it has been so wonderful! My new years resolution this year is to make as many memories with my kids this year as I can. Or at least try and use the time that I have with them in a fun and memorable way! It won't be long before they are grown and no longer have the desire to spend time with their old Mom! Like the song says "You're gonna miss this. You're gonna want this back. You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast. These are some good times so take a good look around. You may not know it now, but you're gonna miss this" That song sends me into hysterics every time i hear it! I know I am going to miss this time I have with them now! Why is it I am not making better use of the time I have been given?
I took the boys sledding for the first time in a couple years, yesterday. It was a blast! We are planning to go again this afternoon and my Grandma is going to come stay with April so that I can go and join in on the fun! I also plan on taking the camera with me so that I can get some video and pictures.

Oh Boy!
Okay so I OFFICIALLY am the worst blogger ever! I haven't updated since Joel started school. Whats up with that?! Christmas is 4 days away and I couldn't be more excited! I don't know who is more excited the kids or me? I cannot wait to see their faces on Christmas morning! Its definitely true that giving is better than receiving! There is nothing like seeing someone who truly loves what you have given them.
So its been busy here at the Gabert household! Having 3 kids 5 and under is busy to say the least. April is on the move now and starting to get into everything. It won't be long before she will be a full force tornado like the other 2. She is such a joy to be around these days though and she is developing such a sweet little personality! She loves Nathan the best and is even starting to say Dada now. Whether she knows what she is saying or not is another matter all on its own. I am pretty well done breast-feeding which makes me sad and happy at the same time. Being that she is my last baby and knowing I will never get to do it again makes me mourn it, but bottle-feeding is so much more convenient.
Colin is FINALLY potty trained! Its been a long road but we are finally there and he is pretty much accident free! I am so proud of him! Its crazy to think he is so big already. I swear I blinked and he grew in the moment! I wish I could just slow time down, just to keep them this size for a little while longer.. so that I can enjoy them without having to worry about the hustle and bustle of life.
Joel is doing great at school! He loves it, and has made a great friend named Conor. Its so cute to hear him talk about his friendships and I am so excited to watch him develop into a young boy! He is enjoying learning and I love hearing about the different things he is learning. He can now count well into his 40's or so and can identify all his numbers up to 20. He knows all his letters upper and lowercase and cal write all of his numbers and letters. He has also learned all of his letter sounds as well though he still has trouble on occasion. Yesterday Nathan and I were coming up with random words to ask him what they started with. Nathan asked him what weiner started with and he said "u". Man did we laugh. What a character.
Well I have lots I need to get done but I thought I should come and make a entry for once since it has been so long. I am really going to try and write more often.

Having a Baby Changes Everything
I just stumbled across some of my favorite commercials of all time! They are so touching and truly say what we as mothers feel but can't always put into words. Watch and enjoy!

I Would Die For That
I just wanted to share a song that I found on youtube. Its very emotionally touching though so be warned that it could bring tears to your eyes. Just remember before starting to scroll down to the bottom and pause the blog music.
