Kissin'

I (along with a lot of other people) just can't resist kissin' those cheeks!!!

Abby's best friends

Abby's best friends (ever and ever as she would say) are her cousins Kira and Keeley. The girls played together this weekend, and Abby loved every minute of it! The rode bikes outside, played with chalk, and even watched a little Dora together.

Roasting marshmallows!

Abby roasted her first marshmallows of the season at Grandma and Dave's this weekend! She actually did it all herself. She thought they where pretty yummy. And when one fell off and she stepped in it - the Dog helped clean it off her toes.

Fun in Flandreau

We went to Grandma's house on Saturdy so Daddy could get some projects done at home. Abby had the most fun at the Flandreau park. Of course, her favorite thing to do was the swings!

Hannah's new toy!

Hannah's favorite toy is her new Baby Einstein Exersaucer!
She loves it and it gives Mommy a few minutes with my hands free every day.

Hurray for nap time!

Abby has been fighting nap time lately - but she still REALLY needs a nap. Today (due to a great sale at Target) I told her if she napped I would have a surprise when she wakes up. She took a nap and I brought home a fun sand/water table. She really likes it and had a great time playing with it!

More fun with Grandma

We are truly spoiled and so blessed to have my Mom living so close by and also her loving us so much that she comes up and spends time with us! This weekend she came up and because of her we where able to get a ton of work done, and Todd and I went on a hot date (ok so it was errands and Famous Dave's for lunch). We haven't had a date in a LONG time so it was really nice. Saturday night Grandma took Abby to Pizza Ranch for pizza and to play games!! Abby really liked playing the ducky game. With the help of Mommy she got enough tickets to get a Dora ball and some little plastic puppy things!

Big girl!

My little Abby is growing up SO fast. She officially has mastered peddling her trike, and loves to ride her trike everywhere. She is so cute, and is getting so big, she doesn't even need me to push her around anymore and it kind of makes me sad...

Daddy working hard!

Todd spent all day Saturday in the garage and attic! He installed wood flooring in the attic, so we can store more up there (for some reason, the toys keep mulitplying in our house) he also cleaned and organized the garage. It was a lot of hard work, but we are proud of him, everything looks great!

Silly Hannah

My silly princess Hannah is always laughing and making funny faces. I love this pic of her great BIG smile!


Hannah is always playing with my Diet CF Coke bottles. It's one of my bad habits!
She always has to help me hold my coke bottle! So silly!

Singing in the rain!

Abby got a Dora umbrella (one of my good garage sale finds) and she got to try it out for the first time this week.
Daddy and Abby went for a walk in the rain and she loved it!

Jumpin' Jumpin'

Abby's new favorite thing to do is jump on Robin's trampoline!!!
Almost everyday she asks if we can go to Robin's and go jumpin' jumpin'!

Fun with friends!

Sunday night we got together with friends to grill out and enjoy the nice weather (ok, so the weather didn't cooperate!) but it was a fun time anyways, we even managed to get in a few games of bean-bags before we had to go inside! Abby had a blast playing with her friends Audrey and Jenna, and it was fun to have our husbands finally meet! We look forward to doing it again!

Abby loved playing on their swing set! She is crazy about swings lately!

Grandma to the rescue!

After our bad night Friday night - Grandma and Dave came up early Saturday to help us with hauling some stuff and we all also went to Chad's college graduation party (yay Chad!). We had such a good time with Grandma here - we convinced her (with lots of hugs from Abby) to stay the night. It was GREAT as usual! I got to go to Walmart - with no children, and Hannah wasn't even screaming when I got home!!! And than the cherry on top was Sunday morning she got up with Abby so that Todd and I could sleep in - I slept in till a little past 8:00AM - it was AWESOME!!!

Not so fun...

Friday was a not so fun night for us. When we where headed into Shopko (to waste some time before Daddy came home) Abby got her thumb slammed into a door. It was the hinge side of the door and it completely shut on her thumb. At acute care they took x-rays and it was not broken but hurt pretty bad! She has to keep it wrapped for at least a week, so that it can heal without getting infected, but other than that the only hard part is she can't use her right hand, and she is right handed! It hasn't really slowed our Abby down though - if you see us - make sure you ask her about her 'owie' she loves to tell everyone what happend!

The princess and the peanut

We where getting ready for playgroup on Friday and I could not resist taking a few pictures of them together! It's so sweet to see how much Hannah lights up when she is around her big sister and how caring Abby is with Hannah.

Abby loves to read Hannah books, and I keep taking pictures of it because it's so cute!
