Never A Dull Moment

Well, I'm here to tell you the title of this post says it all. Life with Abby (my imaginative, incredibly bright and soon to be 3 year old preschooler) is NEVER boring. Every day proves she not only is sweet, considerate, bright, energetic, polite and funny, but that her imagination is in overdrive. I'm constantly getting corrected by her beause I can never seem to keep track of who she is from one minute to the next. Nor can I remember the character title she has assigned to me. This is her favorite: "You be Ruby, I be Max". Other favorites of hers are Dora & Boots, Diego & Louisa, Linny & Ming Ming or Ali & Moco, our cats. She also likes for me to be Abby & she is Mommy, not to mention the times she is dog, cat, frog, bunny rabbit or a tiger. Guy also gets to be in on the fun, usually as Daddy Max or Daddy Diego. She is continually coming up with ways to put her own little spin on things. As Abby, Max or whoever, she loves playing hide & seek, tea party, 'monkey on your back', making jewelry, talking on her phone or being on the computer. She is constantly entertaining us with her imagination and cleverness, coming up with all kinds of 'you had to be there' moments. One that is sticking out in my mind was something that she said a few days ago. She was in the bathtub and decided she needed to go pee pee. I got her out, wrapped a towel around her, and put her on the potty. "I'm cold" she said. A split second later she says, "Ooh, but I have warm pee pee".

Abby is my pride and joy, I think the sun rises & sets in her & it's been rumored I take too many pictures, so I have a bunch to share. BUT, I'm still having trouble with the website I use to make slideshows, so I'll catch you all up on pictures when Guy fixes it, because I give up. My love to you all!!

Abby & Carsons Time Out

The last day that my sister & Carson were here, Melissa wanted to have a pre-natal massage & pedicure after being so sick, so I watched Carson for her for a few hours. They were very good, but after getting caught standing on the coffee table for a second time, they were both sent to time out. Since they had been warned, and they are well behaved children, they went straight to the chair. Sulky & apologetic faces included. They are so adorably cute, even in time out, I had to take a picture. Here it is.

Family Snow Day

We decided to take the kids out and enjoy the snow. They had a blast, in fact I had to make Abby go in after everyone else had been in for a while. It was her first time to play in the snow, so she had a hard time walking at first. Funny stuff. Originally, she wanted to make snow angels like 'Max & Ruby', but she was having so much fun on the swing & slide that she changed her mind. Btw, the previous post you saw entitled 'Snow Day' was actually posted by my sister & was supposed to go on her blog. Oh well!! FYI, I wasn't able to add a slideshow to my previous post, so check back in with us later, I'm sure I can figure out what went wrong. Love to you all!!! XO P.S. Okay, I'm mad, can't seem to add slideshows of pictures right now, but I can do video, so here's a couple videos of the kids. Enjoy!! P.S.S. People were having trouble leaving comments, but I've got that little quirk fixed. Don't worry that you don't see your comment right away. They get emailed to me & then I post them. I love getting comments though, so be sure to leave one! Thank you!!

Family Time With Melissa & Carson

Our family has been busy and very well entertained this last week. My sister Melissa and my nephew Carson came to visit us. The visit was bitter sweet because my sister started not feeling well, but that meant they got to stay with us a little longer than planned since she was unable to drive. It didn't last long and fortunately wasn't serious, so we still had a very good time with them. They left after a week and we miss them very much. Abby & Carson especially. :)

Snow Day

The following was accidently posted on my blog by my sister Melissa instead of hers. It's alot like my own post, but I don't have the heart to delete it. So in case you get a little confused & not sure who Nick is, that should clear it up for you!

We took the kids to play in the snow today and had TONS of fun!!!! They went down the snow covered slide, played on the swing set, used the the shovel in the snow, and just had an over all great time. I love that we got a chance to come up here to see "Our Abby" and play. It's been so much fun!





This first picture is for Nick...Like Father, LIke Son. Remember last year when your truck got stuck in Wyoming?? Carson was having the same trouble!! :)

Finally!!!!

Yeah!! We are all very excited and proud of Abby, most of all Mommy. Abby has finally poopied in the potty!!! Okay, I know it is not near as thrilling to you all as it is to me. But this proud mama would never think of not putting this on the blog. It even gets its own paragraph!

Guys 31st Birthday

Today was Guys 31st birthday. Partly because he has been laid off from AT&T, we just hung around the house and enjoyed being together, warm and in our own home. We did get more snow for a total of at least 1 1/2 feet. A neighbor boy of ours, Michael, asked if we minded for him to shovel our driveway and steps. Well, you can imagine what my response was. After we realized he was in a little over his head, Guy went to help him. Abby decided she wanted to call Nana and later, when Michael decided he'd had enough below zero temperatures, he came in to play with Abby for a while, to which she was exstatic. She loves having company, especially when they're her size. She was so excited to show him her new Christmas presents. We baked Daddy a cake, Abby & Daddy did some B-boppin', played a couple video games and then she went off to bed. One thing I wish I had gotten on video today was her dancing and 'shakin' her booty'. She even had some suggestions for Guy when she made him try. We gotta get that girl into some dance classes, because she's looking like the next Britney. The 'good' Britney anyway. Thank you for checking in with us and may God bless you and your family. P.S. Don't forget to leave us a post!
