Dancing with the Stars!

Oh my goodness! I can not believe it has been over a month since I've blogged. I promise, I am going to try my best to do better! Just thought I'd give you all a quick update on our life! 

Well, Jesse went back to midnights at the mines. I can't say I'm thrilled about it- however, I am a lot more used to it than I was before. And I must say, there's something about living in town that makes me feel safer being here alone at night... is that weird? 

Gabriel Lee is getting SO, SO BIG! It still blows my mind that he is over a year old. I was going through his picture album the other day and I just can't believe how far he has come! He is so bright and fun! I'm so amazed every single day at the new things that he learns. For example, he has recently discovered climbing onto things. And when Mommy says "No, No," He laughs. He thinks it hilarious. Now, I know that this is where discipline should come in- but when he looks at me with that big smile because he's having so much fun... it's hard to get mad! He is standing on his own more and more and trying to take more steps by himself. I'll admit that I wanted him walking by now- but I know that he'll start in his own time. He is EVERYWHERE in this house. Seriously, I don't understand how he moves so fast. I can usually hear him coming or going because he normally has one of Rylee's squeaky toys in hand. It's hilarious and it drive Ry nuts. She thinks he's playing with her, when in all reality Gabe thinks it's his toy. Sometimes, yes, we do have a battle of the toys! haha. 

Have any of you been watching Dancing with the Stars: All Stars? I love most of the dancers, but I must say I have a few favorites. Now, here's my take on the contestants this year: 

• Apolo Anton Ohno --> He's good. Actually he's really good. I enjoyed when he danced with Julianne Hough in the earlier seasons. However, He's not my favorite. 
• Bristol Palin --> I actually like her! No, she's not the greatest dancer by any means. But I admire the fact that she's trying even though she knows she's not as good. Do I think she'll win? No. But I'm still a fan! 
• Drew Lachey --> I like him only because he's Nick Lachey's brother. haha. He's pretty good on the dance floor too. 
• Emmit Smith --> This GUY was my favorite during his past season. I'm always a fan of the pro football players for 2 reasons. 1) They usually end up in at least the top 3. 2) You know they've never really danced before- and they're awesome! I'm a fan of his. Not sure if he'll win- but definitely a fan! 
• Gilles Marini --> I must admit... I have no clue who this guy is. But... the guy CAN dance. He's not my favorite- but it'd be ashame for him to get sent home any time soon! 
• Helio Castroneves --> I loved him when he danced with Julianne Hough. He's pretty good! Again, not one of my favorites- but he's good! 
• Joey Fatone --> Even though he got sent home tonight... I was still a bit sad. No, he wasn't the best dancer at all- but he was a great performer. I enjoyed his dances. 
• Kelly Monaco --> Didn't she win like season 1? I feel like the celebs that have been on since her are much better. Don't get me wrong, she's pretty good...But I do think there are several much better than her! 
• Kirstie Alley --> I have no words. I'm a fan of Kirstie- but not a big fan of her dancing. 
• Melissa Rycroft --> She's good- but I don't think she'll win. What is she famous for anyways? 
• Pamela Anderson --> It's good she went home week 1. Sorry, but the others are better!
• Shawn Johnson --> This girl is one of my favorites as well! She can dance and I sure hope that she puts some tumbling moves in a future routine. I also find it hilarious that her partner is always out of breath at the end of the routine and she's breathing just fine! i def think she'll be in the top 3! 
• Sabrina Bryan --> THIS GIRL IS MY FAVORITE  OF ALL! I pick her to win! Unless of course, she's gets screwed again like she did during her first season on the show. She is an amazing dancer and always nails it! I love her! If she doesn't win- i definitely think she will be in the top 2! :)

So, here's my prediction for this year's top 3 finalist of Dancing with the Stars: All Stars! 

Emmit Smith

Sabrina Bryan

Shawn Johnson
