Fishing Trip, Florida 2012

 What an amazing time Robby and I had in Florida! I'm so glad that I convinced him to go! Jaydn wanted to fly by herself so we put her on a plane to Gaga's to spend the week of Spring Break, which she loved! THANK YOU guys for letting her come. Robby and I took the opportunity to go on a mini-vacation just the two of us. It had been a really long time since we had done anything so it was amazing to get away. Robby had always wanted to go red fishing in Mosquito Lagoon in Florida. So that's what we did. We hired a guide to take us out and what an amazing time we had. The weather was perfect and the fishing was AWESOME. We caught 22 fish. Robby took the award for the first and the most caught. I took the award for the biggest at 20 pounds.

 This is one of our 7 doubles that we caught.

 It was nice to watch the sun rise! Just on the other side of the land is the ocean!

Me trying to get in one of my fish. I think this is the first one I caught.

 My 20 pound Red Fish. I took me forever to get him in. Everytime he would get close to the boat, he would take off again!

 The water in the lagoon for was no more than 3 feet deep!

Robby would have gotten the award for most spots as well!

We can't wait to do it again and would love to go in September when the Tarpin are running!

SKIING

I know it's been a REALLY long time since I posted anything and I apologize. In January we went on a family ski trip to the mountains of North Carolina. We went from an elevation of 230 to over 5000! My ears did not appreciate the change! They actually got a little bit of snow but they were still having to make snow at the slopes. Robby and I have both decided that it makes it much harder to ski in man made snow than in the real stuff but it was still a blast.
Jaydn did AMAZINGLY awesome!!! She was afraid of the lift but rocked at all of it. I really wish that I could have been able to go when I was that age, she literally had no fear.
We put her in a ski class. She was in there for a 3 hours and was a pro after that. She scared me. Robby helped her go down the hill the first time and by the second time she wanted to do it all on her home. When she wanted to stop she would just lay back. So proud of her!!

This picture was of the mountain that we were staying on. We actually skiied at a different mountain. But this gives you a perspective of how high up we were!

Daddy and Jaydn

Can't wait for next year!

NOT AGAIN

Karma sucks, at times!
Last night I was telling Robby that I just wanted a day off to do nothing. At 7 am Jaydn comes in our room, which she never does on a weekday, and informs us that her throat hurts. Hoping it was just allergies but went ahead and made her a doctors appointment just to be on the safe side. We had her parent teacher's conference this morning, so after wards we headed off to the doctor. Of course, she has STREP THROAT-AGAIN! She has only been off of antibotics for 6 days. I'm beyond frustrated. Her doctor made her puke. He swabbed her throat (she has horrible gag reflexes) and proceeds to puke on his floor. He felt horrible but she then puked again in the parking lot of the pharmacy. So I got my day off, not in the manner of which I would have liked, but we did NOTHING today. I also woke up feeling not so well, drainage, but I can't take much for it!
On a side note, the parent teacher conference went really well. She said that Jaydn is doing awesome! She is reading amazingly and is great to have in class! Glad she behaves for her teacher since she doesn't listen to her mommy!!
Also, I finally got my results for my real estate class that I had to take in order to take the test with the state. I didn't feel confident after taking the test and was sure that I had failed. You are only allowed to miss 28 and when I got my results today, I had missed 17!!! Such a huge relief. Now I have to take the state exam. Fingers crossed that I can pass it!
We only have a couple of weeks until we come to Idaho and we can not wait! We look forward to seeing everyone and hopefully we will all be feeling better by then!

Happy Halloween

The Gabehart's had a BLAST this Halloween. It was cold as heck with rain, wind, and about 50ish degrees..if not colder.
We decorated the house, which I will post pictures of later, and had fun scaring the little children!!!
Hope you enjoy the pictures. We had a great time and are already plotting for next year.

I say the family that bites together, stays together!

Reunion!

Ok, finally something is working for me. I tried putting in a couple of other pictures but it wasn't working correctly! ANYHOW!! Jaydn and I were able to go down and see Kasey and Sadie while they were in SC!! I am so glad that we got to spend the day together. I have missed them dearly and was grateful for the day we had. Jaydn had a blast with Auntie Kasey and wanted to go home with her. Hopefully Jaydn didn't infect anyone since she woke up with strep throat the next day.

Me and Boog!!! ( I just can't not call you that, I hope you don't mind!!!) We so do not look like we are in our 30's..we are HOT!!!

Jaydn at the pumpkin patch!

Jaydn in the tractor..eat your heart out Papa!

Jaydn and Sadie on the tractor ride.

Me and bug...of course she would be silly!

OMG!!!!

Last night Robby was on the phone with his mom while I sat on the couch relaxing. He had been burning piles of brush in the fire pit earlier in the evening so when he came "running" in to get a bucket, I thought maybe the fire had gotten out of control. I didn't think anything more about it until he came back into the house about 30 minutes later.
He sat on the couch and said" I have something to tell you, but I don't want to". That is NEVER a good way to start a conversation. My response, "what did you catch on fire". If you know Robby's history, you know this isn't an unusual question to ask!!! (Love ya babe) He ho-hummed around the subject until he told me that this is what he found.........

I HATE snakes! When I asked for the details of the snakes capture, he was like.."are you sure you want to know right before bed. I know how you are about snakes." He caught a glimpse of something as he was walking in the house and no and behold, this little guy was on the front porch, above where we would walk...ewwww. He put it in the bucket until this morning when he so nicely "took care" of it! We aren't sure what kind it is. We have several different kinds of poisonous snakes around here so we are hoping it's not. We will be doing research though until we figure it out!

DENTIST.....URGH!

Yesterday was suppose to be the "big" day that Jaydn had 4 of her baby teeth pulled. We were as prepared as possible. She had finally gotten nervous and didn't want to have it done and I of course was a ball of anxiety. Robby had luckily gotten the morning off to go with us, which was a huge relief. Jaydn got up at 7:45 and wanted to have a go-gurt and a granola bar. I didn't think anything about it and figured she should have something in her tummy.
We get to the dentist, they were suppose to start the sedation at 9:30. At 9:45 I go to the counter to ask if they were just running behind or what. When the dental assistant took us back she asked when Jaydn last ate. I told her this morning. Little did I know and Little did THEY TELL me, she couldn't eat. So after all the anxiety and build-up, we had to reschedule. They offered to pull two with just the laughing gas but I said NO. I was so pissed. This is after I already had an issue with one of the other dental assistant's in the office.
She is now scheduled for Sept 22, which is really bad timing. Robby won't be able to be there, but I'll get through it. Just not looking forward to it at all. I will keep you all posted on the process!
