Christmas in September!!

Today has been like Christmas for us!! :)

This morning I woke up to 3 packages from the post office!

Box 1 was a book I had ordered for Ches called "I will love you forever". oh my the best book ever... and a definite must for anyone. I remember my Mom reading it to me when I was younger and have been looking everywhere for it so I can read it to Ches before he goes to bed just like my Mom did... and YAY, I finally got it! :) I was so excited!

Box 2 was a dress that I had ordered a while back...empire waist... green flowers with black and cream. It is so purdy and Gabe said he would take me out on a date just so I can wear it ;) lol

Box 3 my belated birthday present from my darling husband..... A DALLAS STARS JERSEY!! Heck yeh!! I have to say since dating and marrying my hubby I have become a very dedicated fan lol. Marty Turco is Turcolicious!!! Number 35 (the goalie) and so amazing! Now we just have to plan a trip down to Dallas to watch a home game!

Then we all went to Montrose for the day and what a fun time we had! First off we found a $100 mattress for Chester's crib (yep he is graduating!) for only 4 BUCKS!! Then we went to Target and I got some much needed jeans... a really cute shirt... new watch... and CONVERSES!! I have been eyeing them for a while lol. Then we went out to eat together and Ches flirted with all the passing women with his winner smile. Haha..he is such a darling.

Now we are relaxing at home... listening to Gabe composing songs on his guitar :) Chester is sleeping peacefully in his new crib and I am going to go relax into bed and enjoy some hot tea and an episode of Survivor..... ahh, what a wonderful day with my boyz :)

fall.times.

What a busy time lately!! I have hardly had enough time to blog anything! (not to mention it gets a little tough with a little one in my arms ;)

My birthday this year fell on the same date as the Music & Wine Festival here in Lake City. It is one of the biggest events of the year... and proved to be so once again. The town was packed, and Gabe, who was cooking all day, it was esp busy! Ches and I hung out... took a walk into town to check out all the festivities and then went to see Gabe at work. Ches is so cute when i bring him as he just watches Gabe going back and forth preping... all the while smiling so much at getting to see his Daddy during the day! Altho it was a crazy weekend with work and all... everyone has breathed a sigh of relief as it also marks the start of Lake City's "down time". The tourists start to leave town and we once again become our small mountain town starting to hibernate for the winter. All the locals start to come out again, friends get to catch up, and we who ere so busy before can get out and enjoy the changing colors of fall!! My favorite time of the year!! (Gabe and I are going to take Ches out for his first hike this weekend and I will be sure to take my camera...so pictures soon to come!!)

Yesterday I started going through the house dejunking and organizing each room... a task which is going to take longer then I thought!! I set up the second bedroom as Gabe's recording studio... and he is really stoked to have more time to play music this fall/winter. I love when he plays... which I usually listen to him while I try to do a little sketching. (A "lost art" I am trying to get back into.

Chester is turning 3 months this week, and I can't believe how fast the time has flown by!! He is growing so much... almost daily it seems by leaps and bounds. He loves laying on his stomach, pushing himself up and kicking his legs like crazy! He is so ready to start going places! He is always all smiles and his little laugh is so adorable. My little man... I can't believe what a blessing he is to his daddy and I! Ches is also moving into this crib this weekend and out of mamma's and papa's room... yes I am nervous at this... but I think it is just cause I love having my lil guy so close. But he has been sleeping through the night a lot and doing just great! We will see how it goes!!

Well.... I am off to bed. I worked today at the grill with Gabe and I am plain tuckered out!! Time to go cuddle with my boys and rest my tired feet :)

Cheers to all!
