Fourth of July

Our Fourth of July celebrations started with a BBQ and swimming with the Gilberts.
Gabby was crying and Uncle John thought a loooong time about picking her up. He slowly worked his way closer and closer to her.


Finally, he overcame his fears. . .


and he almost smiled about it.


Gotta love that face!

Uncle Greg's back flip.


Gib's cannon ball.

Gabby's funny reactions to the fireworks.



Below is my favorite picture from the day. Emmy's expression says it all!

More squash, please!



At 5 months old, Gabby had her first vegetable today and loved it!

It was Gib's birthday last month. I took Emmy to buy his birthday gift. She was dissapointed when I said we were getting him a ceiling fan and said she was getting him balloons, instead. She was so excited about it she told him about his balloons before it was his birthday. What a sweetie! She was so proud to give them to him.

Sweet baby girl!


Gabrielle Winter Gilbert was born 17 Dec 2010 at 12:44 pm. She was 6 pounds 15 ounces and 21 inches long. She is such a beauty with thick dark curly hair. We are so glad she is here! Emmy is learning to be a good big sister. She is very proud of "our baby" and shows her off to everyone.


About Me

We are both thrilled to be parents. Our miracle baby was born on August 20, 2008. We are happy to have her in our family and cherish our time with her. I am a chemist at a rocket manufacturer who supplies propulsion for the NASA space shuttle. I got my bachelor's degree from the University of Utah in 2004. I love my job! Gib works at a microbiology testing lab. He is currently attending classes at the University of Utah to get a bachelors degree in biological engineering. We have been married since July 2002. We met at a U of U singles ward. Laura (my cousin) and I had just moved into an apartment together when Gib was assigned to be our home teacher. Needless to say, Gib was a dedicated home teacher. And I didn't mind at all!
