Happy Birthday Abbey



Abbey told me this morning when she woke up ( in my bed) that today is all about her. It is my goal to honor that request on her fifth birthday. We started out the day with a breakfast of chocolate pop tarts with whip cream, and milk in a special princess cup. She also wanted balloons on her chair. She even wore a special birthday hat, so that everyone knew it was her special day. I tried to convince her not to wear it to school, but the was a battle lost. We made rice crispy squares together yesterday, and packed them in individual baggies for her class mates today. She felt very proud that she got to help. There are many more surprises for my special birthday girl. She's getting bacon for dinner, at her request. we are going to bake cup cakes in her easy bake oven after she unwraps it when daddy gets home. I am not sure when it happened, but my baby became a big girl. I love you Abbey. Enjoy your special day. It's all about you.

All Is Well...




All is well. Everything's okay. I'm having a Coke -n- a Smile, and making it a great day.

Ouw Wa Woo




The other night, while putting Cari to bed, she put her arms around me and said "Ma mine. Ouw Wa Woo."

Translation : "Mama Mine. I love you." "That's right Cari, your mommy, I love you too."

Try Walking In My Shoes





After a busy afternoon, Abbey still had enough energy to sit back and try on my shoes. I always wondered why I buy her toys when my shoes are much more fun to play with.

Bell On Her First Birthday




Despite starting out her first birthday with a fever of over 100, nothing was going to stop this birthday girl from making it a great day. Playing with a box of wipes, smashing on the computer, and climbing on mom were only a few things on her agenda. Happy First Birthday Baby Bell!

Climbing The Mountain





February 15, 2009, Ellie climbed the steps for the first time. Cari, her faithful coach, encouraged her along. I can only imagine how much trouble those two will be getting into over the next few months. It's my problem, not their's.
