The Six Gambles

2011-12-28T18:09:00.000-08:00

Its been a while.......over a year is out of the boundries of a "while". However I'm back in the swing of things and will give a brief and colorful update....

Big kid rooms and beds, potty trained, 3 year old pre-school, obeying the first time, lizards, 3rd birthday party circus celebration, Auburn football, wagon rides, games, band aids, spelling our name, pig tails, big kid bikes with training wheels,memorizing bible verses, art, cheerleader uniforms, roasting marshmallow party, football jersey, opinion's, trips to Mobile, chocolate milk, big kid swings, gymnastics, first grade, reading, sleep overs, friends, first dentist visit, swimming on our own, cheerleading camp,crayons, paint, Manners, counting money, traveling, electronics, emotions, being a boy, choir, family, and most of all learning to be patient.

This does not cover half of the year however it paints a picture of our daily lives and what we strive for each day. These days my brain works in small short descriptions and I felt it very appropriate that a list would be fitting.....because frankly that's how I operate!

Happy New year!

Here's to a more updated 2012!

A few more pictures

2009-05-11T08:37:00.000-07:00

After many people asking me to up date...here I go!

We have been keeping busy as you may know.
After Kevin and I took a quick trip to Chicago with Kellogg friends, we returned and I headed to the coast. Aaron graduated from nursing school and I visited with family.

While in Chicago Nonnie and Dede took care of the babies and Emma Reid vacationed with Grammy, Poppy & Aunt Aaron.

Dede stayed a few days after I returned from Chicago to play and help me pack the babies to head down to Gulfport...we had fun!

Beasley is still her sweet little self, and now showing her shy side when a new face greets her by hiding her face...sweet.

Charlotte is willing to go to anyone that will hold her! She has learned to hold one finger up when someone says "one" ....social and smart!

Sullivan loves shaking his head no......he thinks its funny. He is working on tooth 7 & 8!!!!!!

We are looking forward to the summer....lazy days outside playing and swimming. Swimming lessons, ballet camp and vacation bible school will also start soon. We hope to not stay too busy and enjoy playing!

ER loves summer and watermelon and eating outside!

I'll keep you posted!

2009-02-19T11:59:00.000-08:00

reading, crawling and sitting

2009-02-19T11:28:00.000-08:00

So I guess we know why they say never forget about the small people....Charlotte is on the move and has somewhere to be! Trying to pull up on her crib and random things she finds. We are going to just wait to see where this goes....and how fast!

Emma Reid is loves the life of being four and everything that comes with it. Her clothes must be 4t! We have not reminded her that due to genes and Jesus, she's on the small size. We have started full speed on hooked on phonics and she is enjoying reading! She might talk us in circles in English and Spanish! Mrs. Jessie (our Spanish speaking nanny) comes to "play" with the children every week. She speaks only Spanish and Emma Reid is on a roll! Kevin and I are loving free translation.com !!! We have really enjoyed her and a few times I have come home and Emma Reid informed me she had cheesecake for lunch....well we know why Mrs. Jessie is "Sweet". Oh and sweet tea went with that lunch too! I just did not know what to say when I heard this.

A few snapshots of these sweet, sweet children......more to come.

Happy Mardi Gras

2009-02-16T20:33:00.000-08:00

The Gamble Family are keeping busy and enjoying getting out more. Over the past few weeks we have taken lots of day trips. Atlanta, Birmingham and Enterprise. Keeping busy....if we stop we'll become home bodies!

Not much has changed since my last update. Just busy!

The Children and I will head down to Mobile next Sunday for a Mardi Gras visit! We'll see what this year has to offer...much different than past years....Children involved seams to do that to your Mardi Gras experience!

Easter will be here before we know it!

I'll let you know how the King cakes are this year! (let's hope for the sake of my four bedroom house....I am not the lucky receiver of a plastic surprise in my piece of the King cake!)

Love from Kevin, Lindsey....and our four tax deductions.

I threw in a Random picture from July fourth weekend 2008. We spent the weekend at the beach with my sister Ashley and her family. In the picture is Mills, Emma Reid and Emily.

The crazy Holidays are over and the cold is here! Emma Reid turned 4!!!! We have been busy planning her "Charlotte's Web" party! It was a BLAST! We are now trying to find fun things to do while the weather keeps us in! Emma Reid has learned to ride her bike Santa brought her and is really into the dollhouse Mommy and Daddy surprised her with on her birthday morning! She had a cupcake for breakfast and Mommy and Emma Reid spent the day out with her friends playing and having lunch! We topped the day off with ANOTHER cupcake and crashed from tons of fun and too much sugar. I tried my best not to be the picking mommy with food I let her eat...and just knew she loved her fun day of turning 4!!!! I will try my best to add photos more often and keep everyone posted.

As for the babies....Well...six months and counting...so sad, yet so fun. I am just loving this age, they are so darn sweet! Sullivan has TWO teeth, holds his bottle and just smiles all the time!

Beasley smiles EVEN MORE and loves attention......the whole holding and rocking thing...well she digs it.

Miss little Charlotte Ann ...the smallest of all. She weighs in at 12lbs and change and well, is crawling, and sitting up. I am just here to tell you, she will be the first to do anything physical...walk, run and tumble. She might be our little gymnast. We'll see. She is a thinker not quick to smile at you but will process your face and then grin and go about her duties of trying to overcome whatever she is "practicing" at that moment. It keeps her up at night....all this practice she does!!!!!!

I have noticed I wrote a tish more about Char-Char, in my life I am not trying to even out everything all the time, so maybe you'll get more on Ole' Sully next time. I just lovem' all so much.

On that note....Happy Valentines Day....xoxoxox~ all six of us.

The Holidays and more!

Playing in the rain

Going to school!

We have had a busy Season! We traveled to the coast for Thanksgiving and headed back home to decorate for Christmas...our favorite time of year! Emma Reid enjoyed putting her own tree up this year and the babies have loved watching the Christmas train Nonnie and Papa Frank set up.

Emma Reid has been very busy at school getting ready for her Christmas Pageant and last weeks of school. Mommy and Emma Reid have been baking and making Christmas crafts.

We have also been going to the theater. Emma Reid loved Cinderella the ballet and next we will see The Nutcracker as well as The living Christmas tree .

Merry Christmas!

Our visit with Santa......

Our trick or treating night was fun and Cinderella and her three mice; Jaq, Gus & Mary had a good time!

Celebrating Halloween!

2008-10-29T16:59:00.000-07:00

We are enjoying the cold weather and the holidays that come with it! We went to a Halloween party given by some of Emma Reid's friends...she wanted to dress as a "fairy" at the last minute...thank goodness for a dress up trunk! There were lots of treats and the Winnie the Pooh center piece was as cute as his tummy full of HONEY!

A Character breakfast!

2008-10-26T20:55:00.000-07:00

Mommy and Emma Reid had Breakfast with some Characters on Saturday Morning! We ate Pancakes with Cinderella, Belle, Dora, Spider man, Mary Poppins, Sleeping Beauty, and Jasmine just to name a few...what a treat! Emma Reid loved them all but the favorite of the morning was Sleeping Beauty. We have had a very busy weekend. On Sunday the triplets went o church and joined Kevin and I in Sunday school and were very well behaved! Sunday afternoon we had a ball at the fall festival at church. The whole family went and had a good time.....everyone was drowsy by the time we got home.....another busy week ahead!

Welcome to our Blog spot!

2008-10-21T10:41:00.000-07:00

Kevin, Emma Reid and I thought this would be a great way to keep everyone up to date with our family! Check back often and see what we are up to! We will be busy this fall so come see what we are up to!!

The latest was the baby dedication at our church, it was a great morning, followed by lunch here at the house. All the babies enjoyed their first church service and Big sister Emma Reid was a big help!
