It was this time last year when Gib got excited to go to the rodeo. He had a make believe horse he had named Brownie and would talk about going to see him there. It was also this time last year that Gib didn't make it to the rodeo because we spent the night at Urgent Care taking little plastic Pixos out of his ears.....(JY put them in there. His claim...he was giving Gib earrings. Apparently he needs a lesson on where exactly earrings go.

Now...once again

It is that time of year when Gib is getting so excited to go to the rodeo. He still has his horse named Brownie that he is talking about going to see. We have already made our hospital visit and spent a long night in Urgent Care. (SEE PICTURE) We now have 2 hours to go before we officially leave to the rodeo...let's hope nothing else happens.

Bella, Bella

Bella seems to grow overnight these days. She is still loved by everyone and mauled by us all. She got her first tooth last week and had a rough night last night getting her second one. She cried and cried in her sleep (she never cries at night). I saw it poking through in the morning. She loves to be the center of attention and wishes for lights out by 7:30 every night. TOday the kids giggled at her long and hard because she started twisting her little back to see the toys around her. WE LOVE HER!!

SUPER MARIO GALAXY

When Friday rolls around my kids always ask what we are doing for "Fun Friday". I guess my response wasn't good enough this last time around. They disappeared for a VERY long time and were playing without any arguing....HMMM. THey came down to show me what they were playing...SUPER MARIO GALAXY. Compliments of the costumes from Maddy. Princess Peach, Mario, and Yoshi played nicely together all night long. This is what GIb wants to be for Halloween, that is of course when he doesn't want to be a REd Eyed Tree Frog???? Where does he come from??

growNG, grOWING, GROWING

My little Bella is getting so BIG. It makes me completely sad to see her first pics and how fast it all goes by! I wish I could just stop time and freeze my kids for a little while. I don't want them to grow up big.

Baptism Blessing Pics

Maddy was baptized and Bella was blessed on the same day in Utah. Everyone from both sides of the family were there including all great-grandparents. Neat experience!

Late Summer Posting

It is time for a Johnny Ferry Family update:

June: School Out, Utah Visit, Becca Visit
July: Maddy Baptized / Bella Blessed, Utah Visit, Birthdays
Aug: Back to School, Bella Update
Sept: Gibson School, Bella Tooth, Baseball

Let's visit the above listed topics through pictures and videos. Jen and I were looking how much our kids (especially Bella) have grown the past couple of months.

Gibson has been completely enthralled by his baby sister toy "Hey Bella Sue" he calls her. His in-your-face-approach to Bella has earned him plenty of time outs, but more and more he is settling in to the fact that he is no longer the little baby of the family.
