Painting

Yesterday Abby and I weren't feeling the best. The poor little thing has a cold that is making her nose stuffy yet runny at the same time. My cold luckly isn't as bad as hers... Well, I decided to stay home from work and just hang out the two of us. We watched movies, drank OJ, and played just about everything we could inside. Finally in the afternoon (after her nap) we went outside and painted. I needed to paint some bookshelves for the kid's bedroom, so I got some wood for Abby to paint on. She was so excited to get to go outside, and to be able to paint!! We were out there for about an hour and a half. Abby was very content...she had to keep showing me all the colors that she was using (although when mixed together they turned into a grey color.) She was so proud of her paintings; and I was so proud that she sat there for nearly 2 hours.

Saturday Before Mother's Day Fun

This past Saturday we went up to Heber to have a little get together with my mom's family. As always we had dinner in the garage at my grandparent's house then just chatten and hung out with everyone. Well, my mom told Brian and I that we needed to head inside. We did and we were welcomed to our suprise shower! YEAH, ANOTHER ONE!!! How freaking awesome! I didn't expect to even have one shower this go around, but 2 and for them BOTH to be suprise...I guess I'm an easy one to pull something over on! :) THANKS MOM!!!

After the shower we went back to my mom and dad's house and Abby was able to play with her cousins for a little while. My dad, Brian and Shauna took all the kidos over to a huge grassy area that is behind my parent's house and they flew a kite! Abby was in HEAVEN!!

Just Chillen'

Last Monday after I got home from work Abby and I played outside with the sidewalk chalk and then ate some popsicles. I wish I had taken an "after" picture when she was all done with hers. I guess I was too worried about a blue sicky mess everywhere!

Our Little Helper

Latley all Abby wants to do is, "hep Mommy," "hep Daddy." On Saturday she helped Brian wash the car. This is one of her favorite things to do A)because she's "heping" and B)because it involves water!

Yes, she is in her SNOW BOOTS. She loves to wear them ANYTIME she can!

Front Runner

So last week Front Runner offically opened. Abby and I rode it on a "free day" after I got off work. IT WAS INSAINLY BUSY!! We went with our friends Kiki and Karina. It was so funny Abby kept saying that she was riding Thomas the train. When the train pulled up Abby was a little afraid, but after the first few minutes she warmed up to it and loved the ride.

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.
