Sad to say....

But I think my blogging days are over! With 2 little girls keeping me busy, facebook to send quick updates on our life and a new little one on the way...it just feels like time to say good-bye! Look forward to keeping in touch with you all!

I have been blessed!

 

 

If there is one thing I know - it is that i neede my girlfriends!!!! Near and far I could not make it through one day without any one of them! Here are a few pics of some of the fun things me and some of my amazing friends have been up to!

2 & 4!!

 

 

 

 

i can't believe how fast my girls are growing. From playing with their new kitty, to dress up, to dolls, to reading books all day long, I love my two girlie girls!

I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

So it's been a while! We have been so busy I have been bad about blogging!!! We have had a fun winter so far celebrating both Abby & Hannah's birthdays - Christmas, Thanksgiving and of course my birthday! Amongst several other things! I am hoping to get back on track with blogging!

Our girls!

 

Notice how they are both wearing Mommy's 'fancy' shoes!

Apple Festival

 

 

 

 

One of our favorite family traditions is going out to the apple orchard every fall during the apple festival. We take a hay ride out to the orchard and pick apples and snack on them as we go! Abby also had fun riding ponies and going on a train ride. It was a perfect family fun day!

The Zoo!!!

 

 

 

 

We had a good time at the Zoo! We went on a tram ride way up high and the girls rode the carousel. Abby loved reading teh zoo map and navigating with Daddy. Hannah loved the fishies and the monkeys!

Vacation!

 

 

 

 

We took a little vacation to Omaha this summer! We stayed at a fun hotel called CoCo Keys (An anniversary present from my Mom!) The girls loved the water park. Mommy and Daddy even went down all the big slides and Grandma Cheryl enjoyed the hot tub!!! The girls had fun sleeping in the hotel (even though they didn't actually sleep a lot!) And still talk about CoCo Keys a lot - we will have to go back someday for sure!

my princesses

 

 

both my girls are such girlie girls!!! They love dresses and skirts that spin, dressing up in Mommys high heels and anything else girlie! Love my little princesses!

Turner County Fair!

 

 

 

 

One of our favorite things we did this summer was take the girls to the Turner County Fair. It was a hot night - but the girls had a blast! Abbys favorite was riding the big ferris wheel with Daddy (Hannah was really upset she wasn't tall enough to ride on the ferris wheel!). Hannah got to ride a lot of other little rides and loved seeing all the animals. They even had a camel at the petting farm area!!

Preschool!

 

 

 

Abby started preschool in August! She goes to a new preschool called Room to Bloom. Her teachers are Mrs. Janelle and Mrs. Katy! She loves it!!! Every day she asks if she can go to preschool.

I love my girls!

Silly family!

4th of July weekend!

Happy 4th of July

We had so much fun this 4th of July. We did fireworks - the girls loved the smoke bombs and sparklers. Than we went to Flandreau for the big fireworks show. I love watching the girls sit and be in awe of the colors in the sky.

More summer fun!!!

Another fun place this summer we have spent a lot of time at is the Spray Park! The girls love cooling off running through all the different sprinklers! It is so much fun!

Love the Lake!!

The favorite thing to do this summer has been to go to the lake. Abby can spend hours playing in the water and Hannah loves that she can sit in her chair on the beach and eat fruit and have snacks the whole time.

my spirited child!

Hannah is so cute!! How can you miss those beautiful blue eyes and big cheeks!!! For as much as she is cute, smart and fun, she is also a handful!!! She is my spirited child. She loves big, feels big, laughs big and throws BIG fits!!! If things do not go her way! It does mean a lot of frustration for Mommy, and a lot of ignoring her until she comes around. I couldn't imagine life without my Hannah Banana!
