Gabe has been working hard all summer, building his confidence.
And he has finally made the big decision to... take off those training wheels!
Here are some pictures of him and his big proud smile...

You go Gabe!!!!
Can not believe how big your getting!






































































Discussing some issues with daddy...
(he now rides up and down our alley all by himself...
next feat is to take a walk as a family and let him ride his bike....)
























Nanno found a lazy mans way to help Ella!
We tease him for it.....
( I have no idea why this is underlined)

























Gabe found a baby frog at Nanno's...
And caught it all by himself....
He has really been brave lately....
(to brave for this momma)

fun visits with family...

Aunt Taryn took off a day of work to come play with us!!!!
We sure enjoyed her company....
She played with the kiddos while I got a shower and made myself presentable....
Then we headed to daddys work for lunch....
Then to the Montgomery park to play..... (the weather was perfect)
It was lots of fun... a good day!!!!!

Playin at the park......
































































































Liam had a few firsts..................

His first time to swing.....
(in a real swing)

























And his first slide experience.....









































Uncle Adam...
and hoping soon to be "Aunt" Tristen....
Came for a visit last weekend....


Uncle Adam was out of the country when
Liam arrived so this was their first meeting!

Does Uncle Adam look nervous????
(he was scared he was going to break Liam)
We assured him otherwise...


















































































































































We enjoyed our Tristen and Adam....
I am constantly thanking the Good Lord for such great family...

quickly approaching three weeks...

There has been lots going on in the Knepp household over the last two weeks four days...
We have had some firsts....
We have thoroughly enjoyed our youngest....
We have completely enjoyed being a family of five....

Here are some of our big events captured on the camera...


Miss Ella has completely shocked me with holding Liam...
I thought it would be a short-lived thing when it was her turn...
Oh no, she will sit for thirty mins and hold her baby brother....
She is such a sweet little mommy to him....

















Liam's first time in his swing....
He loves it...
We put it in whatever room we are in so he can be part of us....
























Liam's first bath at home...
He does not do to bad...
And he loves being clean for sure!!!
(notice my two big helpers)

















Here she is again...


















We had our first trip to Wal-Mart....

















While daddy was off of work....
He, Gabe, and Ella spent most days outside playing...
While mommy took it easy and Liam slept...

























































































Check out how he was sitting...
Such a relaxed little guy...

























And here is big bro...
He does an awesome job with Liam too...
Liam is blessed to have his sis and bro!

























Liam made his first trip to nanna and nannos.....
(notice uncle Ty yawning)


















Ella wants Liam to play games with her...
She wants him to be big now....
(i remember Gabe doing this with Ella when she was a baby)

























We took our first walk...
Big sis wanted a turn...
























Liam had his first visit to Dr Ruff..
Gabe and Ella got big bro, big sis stickers....
















































Ella holding Nanna and Liam....
























Gabe and Ella stood close by to make sure no one
was hurting their little bro...

















































We had a really fun and relaxing visit with Grandma Zetta...
(Gabe, Ella, and Liam's great grandma)









































Grandma Zetta was showing these two her little humming birds..

















Ella was being a monkey...
She had Nanna laughing so hard ...
Nanna almost didn't make it to the bathroom!
























Nanna and Jolene were teaching Ella some old school hand claps....
Fun stuff..

















Here is to my big boy who got his puppy food and water...
And then put a trash bag in the trash can....
ALL BY HIMSELF...
I did not even ask him....















































And here is my big boy practicing with NO training wheels!
























Liam also made his first visit to Gramma and Pappys...
For some reason he looks so old in this pic..
Man he is cute!!!!
























Liam some what enjoyed his first golf cart ride...
(the wind was a little bit of a bother)


















Each evening we have been giving him a bottle and he is taking it like a pro...
With Gabe and Ella, they only ended breast feeding..
Eekk!
I am determined this time...
























We have had a blast and there are more pics to come!!!!!
