She is so precious! There is something so special about a newborn baby, I feel like the world just stops and nothing else matters in the world! It's such an emotional happy time. A new little human. Such a miracle!!!
Such a little Peanut.
So proud of Linds! She is already such a wonderful mama, and Liv is as beautiful as her.

Ella or Georgie?

My poor baby girl has been called two different names ever since she was born! Half our family call her "Ella" and the other half call her "Georgie". I personally love "Georgie"! I've loved this name ever since I was a little girl. Did anyone ever watch the show, Sisters? It was such a long time ago, but one of the sisters on the shows name was Georgie. I love the name "Ella" also, but it is so popular right now. When I take her to the park there are always 5 other little girls named "Ella". Even when she was born there were 3 other babies in the nursery named "Ella". She is named after two very special ladies, so both names we do love dearly and mean the world to us! "Ella" is her Great Grandmother, who is still living! She will be 94 in July and helped raise Steve when he was a little boy. And Georgette was Steve's Mom, she passed away from cancer when he was 4. I wish she was still here with us. I wish I would have been able to meet her, and am so sad she isn't here being able to see her granddaughter.

Getting back to her name now, Steve feels that she is going to be teased because "Georgie" is a boy or girl name and "Ella" is more soft and very feminine. He cares so much about her and wants to protect her from ever getting hurt. So for right now she does know both names and doesn't seem to mind what we call her. She is such a trooper! I am going to enroll her in preschool as "Georgie" and can see the name "Georgie" on her cheer leading skirt! I love her so much and I personally think she looks more like a "Georgie" than an "Ella".

I love you with all my heart and soul, Ella Georgette Gimblin! You make me be a better person and have changed my life forever. You will always be my Georgie Girl!

Kentucky Derby Golf Tournament.









A few friends and I did a pub crawl/miniature golf tournament in Marysville for charity. We had such a wonderful time and we won best costume! Here are some pictures of our day. Enjoy! Sorry I have been such a lame blogger lately, but we have been so crazy busy! I got a new camera for my birthday. I'm in love with it! And no, I'm not going to be some professional photographer or anything, just wanted a nice camera to capture memories of my baby girl. I need to get the correct cable though, so I can download all my pictures on to my computer. I can't wait to share all my new photos. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Breakfast in Tahoe.


Good morning!

This was one morning in Tahoe. I think she is super cute, and she thought she was so big since she didn't have to sit in her high chair.
I have a lot more to post from our mini vaca, but need to pick up my house, unpack and get ready for a baby shower. Have a great Monday!

Happy Easter!

We have had a wonderful day so far. What a beautiful Easter day! We went to church this morning, brunch at Peach Tree, and now we are all home resting. I made a fruit salad and spinach dip to take to my parents. We are off again in a little bit to go to an Easter egg hunt and have an early dinner with my family... then we go to Aunt Jackie's house for another dinner and dessert. I love all the hectic running around and being with all the people I love so much. I wouldn't want it any other way.
It's pretty incredible that He sacrificed his own life for us. Happy Easter!

See you when I get back from my little mini VACA! Off to Tahoe bright and early! Just had a moment to share pictures from this morning.
Aunt Jack and all her boys and the lovely Aunt Nik!


G loves giving Ava kisses.
Another kiss.
Cousin love! Ava and Baby Mia.

Happy Birthday to me!!!



I had a wonderful birthday! Thanks to my wonderful family and friends for making my day so special!!!

The girls got to meet the lobster.
Mary was too scared to hold the lobster! I didn't blame her.
They loved holding hands on the way to Chico.
One of my dear friends! I'm so happy Paige is back in the YC. I see her a lot more and I love it.

The guys came... usually it's just the girls! I felt bad for Steve because he couldn't join us! He was home with the baby taking care of her since she was not feeling well at all. Thanks for letting me go and enjoy a great time babe. I did miss you.

Roxanne and Shannon came over before and we talked and enjoyed a glass of wine together.



Love them!


Yes it's true, I turned 29, but feel so happy about it! I had a wonderful day. Most of my girlfriends treated me to dinner, showered me with beautiful cards and gifts. I felt so loved. Loved so much than ever before. I was sad that a few friends couldn't make it, but it's so hard with everyone's busy schedules, and living in different cities and just life in general to coordinate a day where everyone can make it.

My family took me to Chico for lunch on my actual birthday, and that with was so sweet of them. We had such a great time! Just the girls went. We shopped all around beautiful Chico and then went and had a lovely lunch. It was so fun spending the day with all my sisters, baby, niece and mom. They too showered me with so much birthday love. I am spoiled.

We got home around 3ish, and I put Georgie down for a nap. Poor baby girl, she is still fighting a nasty cold. I ended up taking her to the doctor and he put her on two different medicines. I hate seeing her so sick. It is heartbreaking. I feel so helpless.

Later that night, Steve cooked me an amazing dinner. We had great wine, gifts again and a beautiful cake! I didn't want to take the baby out to dinner or leave her with anyone. I just wanted her home where she belonged. And just what I love, being home with my family. It wasn't bad either being pampered and spoiled all night long. I did clean up dinner and did my normal nightly routine with the baby. I didn't mind. I love doing my motherly duties and a clean kitchen. I truly had such an amazing day. I just wished that the baby would had felt better. I got so many sweet cards in the mail, phone calls from friends, and even 29 pink roses! I am one lucky chic. I forgot to mention a free car wash too. I love a clean car and it was free... that's the best part.

My sister and I were going to go and get pedicures, and my mom was going to watch the baby for an hour for me, but Georgie was so clingy all day and didn't want me out of her sight! All she wanted was mommy. I loved being able to hold her all day and take care of her. I remember being little and just wanting my mom to hold me. I still do! We watched Barney about 5 times and cuddled on the couch until daddy got home. She gave me about 5o kisses that day. I think she knew it was my birthday secretly. And a pedicure can wait always wait! Sister, you still owe me:)

Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter. We are off on Monday morning to Tahoe for the week, and then Friday we leave for Reno. We are going to visit Grandma Ella. Have a wonderful weekend and hope the Easter Bunny stops at your house! He already came to mine.
