Surprise Shower

About two weeks ago a good friend of mine, Kiki, invited Brian, Abby and I over for a dinner at her home. Well, when we showed up some of my friends and family were there....I was dumb founded :o (just ask anyone who was there!) Kiki had thrown a surprise baby shower for me! It was so much fun. I was SO shocked.
THANKS AGAIN, KIKI!!!

Playin' With Dry Ice

So last night Abby had her first experiecne with dry ice. Brian used it last night to make Root Beer for his cub scouts. When he got home we had fun playing with what was left of the dry ice! Abby was in HEAVEN!! She loved every second of it.

New Camara

For Father's Day (and Mother's Day, somehow...) we decided to get a new camara. Brian has wanted a new camara for a long time, and the old one that he had was bugging the crap out of me. It took FOREVER for it to take a dang picture. By the time it actually took the picture the moment was LOOONNNNGGGG gone! So Brian recently ordered a Cannon Rebel XTi, and it came yesterday. Well, we both went crazy last night taking pictures. I think Abby was getting sick of having to say "cheese." This is just one of many more WONDERFUL pictures to come!

By-the-way Abby has on her "pretty dress" that that she wore to Disney Princesses on Ice....yeah, she has to wear it EVERYDAY!!!!! Little girly girl!!

Abby's New Bike

So last week I decided to by Abby a bike! Every time we're at the park or she sees the neighborhood kids out riding their bikes she says, "a Abby's turn." Well we bought it, brought it home and daddy put it together for her. She LOVES it!! She's not really great at peddling yet, but I'm sure by the end of summer she'll be racing the other kids in the neighborhood!

Just Another Day

Well, it's been a while since I've posted. So I thought I'd post and tell you what little has been happening resently. Really not much has been happening, thus not posting for a while....

We had a wonderful Easter. We played with cousins and on Easter morning we awoke to find that the Easter Bunny had visited us!! Abby got a fun pool blow-up toy, and the movie Disney Princesses Enchanted!! Ever since we saw them on ice she tell us that she "watched it." Now she watches this movie at least once a day (somedays it's just easier to give in!) The other day I was in need of a break and decided to give Abby a little snack while she watched this movie. I came back in a few minutes later to check on her and this is what I found...

Since Easter we've just sort of hung out! Last week we started off a little oddly. We woke to hear a strange scratching sound coming from our basement. Brian went down to check it out. A short while later I heard "Erinn, come here!!" I ran downstairs, Abby in my arms (yeah I was tied afterward.) Brian was in our laundry room staring at the dryer. A BIRD had flown into our vent from outside and was down in the silver tubby thing that is contected to the dryer! The poor thing was trying to climb back up and out of the tube, but wasn't having much success! Well, we had the great idea to pull the tube out of the dryer allowing the bird to fly freely in our laundry room. Then we thought we'd use Brian's fishing net to catch it! Neither of us thought to open a window! DUH!!! Well, I sent Abby out to sit on the stairs for a minute then while Brian moved the dryer I held the net. You can imagine the chaos that followed! Brian eventually took the net from me and caught the bird. He then ran up the stairs, followed by me (again with Abby in my arms) and outside! He let the bird go free. And I am happy to say that NOTHING in my house got covered in bird poop!! :)
