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!! :)

Disney Princesses on Ice

Last week Abby and I went to Disney Princesses on Ice. She got all dressed up in a pretty princess dress and daddy took pictures before we left. Daddy didn't go with us, but I think he was alright with that! :) When we got to the Energy Soultions Arena (Delta Center is much easier to type) Abby was in HEAVEN!! All the little girls were dressed in pretty dresses and there was so much to see. When the show started Abby was sitting in her seat and just gasped! She looked at me with wide eyes. Ever since we went she wants to "watch more!" I think for Easter we'll have to get her a princess movie! Sometimes she is SUCH a girly girl!!

Abby, Daddy and Cousin Dani

The other day we went up to Logan with Brian's sister and her daughter (Dani.) I told Abby that Dani was going to come over and we'd go see Grandma and Grandpa together. Before Dani and her mom arrived we had some other visitors. When the doorbell rang Abby ran to it...when we opened the door and it wasn't Dani, Abby got VERY MAD. She tried to close the door on our other visitors!! I guess it's a good thing she likes her cousin so much! :)

Abby's BLUE tounge

The other day I gave Abby a blue sucker (she LOVES suckers) for helping me and after she finished she had a BRIGHT BLUE TOUNGE! I showed her in the mirrior and she thought it was the greatest thing ever!!

Abby is 2!!!

Wow how time does fly! I can't believe my baby is 2 now! We had such a fun party for her on Saturday, despite the weather (grrr..it's supposed to be SPRING!!) She really got the hang of opening presents. She loves to be the center of attention!
