Photographer Abby

So for Christmas Aunt Angie (Brian's sister) gave Abby a REAL digital camara. She loves the thing, and has used it a ton! Just in the last few weeks has she actually gotten good at taking pictures where you can actually see what the subject is. :) Here are just a few shots:

Easter Sunday

Well here are some highlights from our Easter.

On Saturday we went to the annual Coleman Easter Egg Hunt, held at my grandparent's house. The kids really enjoyed it. Here are some picturs:

On Sunday we woke up and the kids (Brian included) found their Easter baskets from the Easter Bunny.

The baskets:

After gorging ourselves on candy and breakfast we finally got ready for church. I feel bad that we didn't get any picturs of Brian in his church cloths and he's the only one that didn't get something new. Sorry babe!

Abby in the dress I made for her:


Me (I made my skirt too!) and Carson:


After church we headed up Farmington Canyon for a little family time. We took a bunch of pictures here are some of my favorites.

The kids playing in the back of the truck:



All 5 of us (the truck is now the 5th member of our family):


So all in all it was a pretty good Easter!

"'Coma 'Coma"

So we finally did it! We bought a "'Coma, 'Coma" (Abby's way of saying Tacoma.) For the LONGEST time Brian has been infatuated with Toyota Tacoma trucks (with brief intervals of Ridgeline and Tundra infatuations.) We found a great deal and couldn't pass it up. Now my hubby is the proud driver of a tough silver, 4 door, short bed, off road package Tacoma! Congrats babe! Here are some pictures:

So last night the kids were in the bath tub, and Brian and I were in the Living Room folding laundry when we heard and saw this:

Disney on Ice

Yesterday Abby, my mom, my sister, two of my sister's girls, and I were lucky enough to get to go to Disney on Ice. We had so much fun. All the girls got dressed up in princess dresses. The show was fantastic as always and Abby only got scared a few times: when Ursula (from The Little Mermaid) came out, and also when Rafiki (the old monkey guy from The Lion King) came out. Other than that she loved it! After the show we walked over to the Gateway and got some lunch at the food court. It was a lot of fun having a girl's day out! Thanks Mom, and Shauna!

The girls:
They all had to wear pink...per Abby's request! :)


Goofy faces:

And Abby's hair:

9 Months Old and TEETH!!

Carson is now 9 months old. I can't believe how fast it has gone by. He is growing so fast and learning so much.

Carson, you are a fun energetic little boy. You love to follow Abby and do everything she does. You love yogurt, being chased, tickled, and of course cuddling. You are such a mellow little guy, but you are extremely curious and mischievous. Just this morning we caught you in our bathroom playing in the tolet. You are always on the go and you keep us on our toes. We love you so much and can't imagine what life would be like without you!

In other news his bottom teeth have finally poked through! YAY! It's been a long process, but they are finally here. We pray the rest don't take as long and aren't as painful for him.

Abby's Birthday

I seriously cannot believe my little girl is 3 yrs old! We had a Strawberry Shortcake themed party for her last Saturday (her true birthday was Monday.) She had a tone of fun with her cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. She got so many new fun toys, clothes, and books; we've had to go through and DI a bunch of old toys to make room! Here are just a few pictures from the party:

Abby enjoying her party:
