The World Changed 3 Years Ago

2008-06-10T08:16:00.001-07:00

It's been three years since life has been the same. Jaxson Brent turned 3 and that occasion was celebrated with a dinosaur party.

It's been awhile

Just in case you forgot what our kids look like.

Each year the Weiser Signal America newspaper puts out a business directory. Al and I both looked good in our pics so I thought I'd put them up here.

She's getting chuuuuuuuby.

Presley is a hungry little critter. Nothing is supposed to get in between her and her bottle. She started on rice cereal and fruit this past week. She's starting to roll her rolly polly body over too.

The Leet Gang

While we were on our cruise, Allison's parents were sitting several grandchildren. Five in fact. With all the grandkids being there they took the opportunity to have a grandparents and grandkids pictures done. So here's what they got. Presley is the only granddaughter. Hopefully it stays that way!

Vacation!

2008-01-22T21:21:00.000-08:00

So we finally got out of Idaho for once. We went to Florida, Georgia, and of course - the Bahamas. We flew to Orlando and Elaine met us there and then took us to Cape Canaveral the next day so that we could get to our boat, The Sovereign of the Seas. We left port at 5:00 Monday night and then went to Cococay which is a small island owned by Royal Caribbean. We spent the day there sea kyaking, swimming, eatting, and enjoying the beach. Al had to throw a picture of a casino just so Elaine's mouth would water. The next day we arrived at Nassau, Bahamas. We spent the day shopping, walking around the city, and snorkeling. That wasn't the best experience due to the winds and cool temperature. I (Allison speaking) was resting on a life preserver when Brady came up with a paniced look on his face. He basically pulled it off of me to save himself because he swallowed too much water. I know realize Brady would totally take me under to save his life so I have to really consider any water excursions with my husband. Even with the waves and weather it was better than being in Idaho where it was in the teens. That night we had a huge party on the pool deck to celebrate the 20th birthday of the ship and then spent the next day cruising. The food and booze was plentiful and so was the geriatrics and their leathery tan skin. We arrived in Florida on Friday morning and drug our tired butts off the ship but excited to see our kids and family.

We spent the next few days that the Leet's in Adel. It was good to be with family and enjoy the beverage of choice there - Pepsi.

Jaxson had the time of his life. The fridge in the Leet household is different from ours because it's full and has lots of good things too eat so Jack was always caught red handed snatching apples. Presley was perfect as always.

Winter Has Finally Come

2008-01-08T18:20:00.000-08:00

Winter finally hit Weiser. We haven't seen snow like this before here - granted it is only our second winter in this redneck town. Poor Al doesn't know how to build a snowman so she implimented a rake. God bless the outcasts. Jaxson loves the snow but despises it coldness of it. Go figure.

Happy Baby

Presley gets so excited so easy. Here you can see how she goes from moderately excited to ecstatic. So cute!! She loved the new doll her mom picked out for her.

Happy Christ's Birthday!

Christmas 2007 was good at the Gambles. Jaxson got more than he deserved and Presley didn't get as much as she deserved. Al almost fainted from her concert tickets and Coach purse (thanks to Elaine) and Brady got more shirts than he knows what to do with.

Jaxson's Day Care Party

Christmas time

This was at the Christmas party for the ward.

Al is so excited to have a girl. All the nervousness she had is gone. She already has Presley booked for her first set of highlights.

2007-12-20T20:00:00.000-08:00

She looks like 'er daddy.

Such a pretty girl!
