Our Toast to Abbie

Laughter filled our home growing up, and a large part of that was due to Abbie! So we had to do a funny toast to honor her on her wedding day:)

Enjoy!

Here are the lyrics:

Now this is a story all about how

Our lives got flipped turned upside down

We'd like to take a minute

Just sit right there

We'll tell you about being sisters of Abbie Looper

In Charlotte, NC she was born and raised

On momma's lap is where she spent most of her days

Suckin her thumb out by the pool

And sportin a bowl cut, she thought she was cool

Abbie is a humorous one

Making mom pee until the day is done

Giving doogers is her thing

You better watch out Ab you might lose your ring

She was at the ballfield day after day

Catching balls and running bases, she sure can play

Rec league, high school, and college ball too

Our 4'11'' sister. whoop-ti-do

College diplomas and masters degrees

Teaching for her seems like a breeze

Her kids all love her and that's a fact

But her true love her life did lack

Thanks to Rob and Debbie a blind date was set

Tubing in the mountains is where they met

But poor Erik lived two states away

Whooped he'd get and move here to stay

At 131 Main she got no dessert

Cause he was so nervous with a ring in his shirt

She said, "Yes!, without a doubt"

She found her true love we wanted to shout!

We love you dear Abbie, our memories we'll cherish

But the name brat girl will not soon perish

You're a beautiful girl, we'd say that you're rare

And for you, our sister we really do care

Marriage takes work but there's joy all the same

May life be long and happy, be on your "A"game

We'll always be here for the both of you

You're family and friends, we'll be faithful and true

Have fun in Jamaica and make us a NEPHEW!

Jeremy and his bud

I told you he could dance!!

Accent

I found this little quiz and I thought you all would enjoy taking it too:) It's about your accent. Can you guess what mine was? Ha ha ha, I know that's like asking you what my name is. Southern and Lindsay are synonymous.
Let me know what yours is :)

Little Happenings

So here is what the Gibsons have been up to this week.... I hope you find humor in the second part:)

First, we had a little Clean Sweep meets Divine Design over at my sister's house. Monday we cleaned out the closets and rooms to get ready for Baby Bella:) She is coming in a few weeks! Then we decorated and painted Tristen's new room and get the nursery ready for Bella. So that was our project on Tuesday. So now Tristen has a cute little green big girl room and Baby Bella has a crib and linens ready for her arrival:) Next week will be clothes sorting week. You know, being the fourth girl and all, there is ALOT of them to go through. While there is nothing divine about my decorating skills, I love the Clean Sweep part. So we have to enlist the help of Lisa for the decorating.

**************************************

Now for the two funny conversations I had this week...

1. We were praying at breakfast that God would help us serve LaLa well.

Gracie- "Mommy, Baby Bella is coming soon right?"
Mom- "Yes she is, in a few weeks."
Gracie- "Yeah! How does she get out?"
Mom- hmmm, oh dear "Well, LaLa has to push her out. The Dr will come in and help LaLa
deliver Bella."
Gracie- "Yeeeahhh, it won't even hurt!"
Mom- "Oh no Gracie, it hurts a whole bunch!"

Of course I couldn't wait to tell LaLa this one... So we tell her and Abbie, my other sister who is home from college this week. Such a treat for us:)
LaLa "Gracie, if it doesn't hurt I'll give you a thousand dollars."
Ab- "If it does hurt will you give me the thousand?"



2. Jeremy calls home....
Jeremy- "Hey Babe, how is it going?"
Lindsay- "It's going well, how are you?"
Jeremy- "I am fine, Hey, is Kohl's having a sale?"
Lindsay- "Yeah, why?"
J- "Because I need some new black pants."
L- "why?"
J- "Because I bent down this morning and split mine. It's really bad."
L- Lots of laughter... knowing it had to be bad if he is asking for a new pair... "Okay. You know, you really should keep an extra pair of pants in your office."
J-"Well, this is only the second time this has happened."


HUH? How many times does it take honey? Like isn't one time enough to have you scared? Shows who's vain in our house!
He walked around the office with a jacket tied around his waist.
So he comes home and let me tell you, this is no little split people, it's from his waist all the way to the middle of your crotch kind of split. And it's not even on the seam!!!!


Hope you all are having a GREAT week!
