Makeup Beauty

I put a mirror (eye level for Abby) up in Abby's room... and now this is all she does!! So I must say thank you to all those who gave her makeup for her birthday and Christmas!! It is sooo much fun and sooo messy! But hey it keeps her busy and she loves it. What more could you ask for! I think she might have a future in makeup design...what do you think?

Happy Birthday Abby!

Well Abby turned 3 on December 9th. She had two wonderful birthdays, one here in Spokane with all our great friends and one in Utah with all our families! She was definitely spoiled, In fact I think she got more for her birthday then she did for Christmas!! I had no idea that there was so much princess stuff on the market. Everything she got was princess and there were no duplicates.

Audrey felt like it was her party too!! She has never been so happy with all the wrapping paper and boxes!!

Thanks to everyone that came, each of you really made her day special!

DISNEY ON ICE PRINCESS WISHES!!
Levi and I surprised Abby with tickets to Disney on Ice. Her birthday is in a week and so we decided this would be part of her present. We didn't tell her until we were on our way. When we told her it took a minute for it to click, but when it did she was ecstatic!!! She couldn't contain herself, screaming, cheering and clapping for like 5 minutes strait. She had seen the commercials on TV and would ask if we could go every time she saw it. I would respond that we didn't have enough money and she would follow up with getting change off the dresser and bringing it to me saying I have some money!!
It ended up being such a fun night! She wore her beautiful Princess Bell dress and we bought her a Belle doll to match. All I can say is that it was totally worth the money just to see her face and how much she was enjoying herself!! We love our little Bugga Boo (Abby).

Abby and I decided to make cookie for all
of you!! I know that you won't get to eat them,
but it's the thought that counts right!! Well
Abby had a ball making them and even more
fun decorating them as you can see from the
sprinkles!!














Audrey had to get in on
the action!! What
a cute girlie!!

her cute apron.
This was my latest
project.

SNOW DAYS

Well it finally snowed!! It has been so cold here, but no snow. I don't mind the cold weather as long as there is pretty snow to look at! It started snowing at night right before Abby went to bed. She was so excited she wanted to play in it right then. I eventually got her to bed with the promise of letting her play in it in the morning. Needless to say as soon as she woke up she wanted to go!! We had mom and me dance class that morning and she wanted to bypass dance and go straight to the snow!!! Luckily I talked her into going to dance and then to the snow. I love the dance class because she gets so much energy out. With dance and playing in the snow combined she was worn out! Which was great for nap time. The pics are cute, and if you look close you can see a little snow man. That is my sad attempt at building a snow man, it's not even as big as Abby!! Ha Ha Ha

Our little model

First of all can she get any cuter...well I know I am totally biased, but she is pretty cute. So Levi came home the other night and thought that she was dressed so cute and wanted some pictures of her. So we went outside and snapped a couple, and this is what we got. A little girl that thinks she is a model and will pose until the cows come home!! Abby loves getting her pictures taken and she also loves taking pictures. So fun to have a little girl enjoy being girlie!!

Halloween Package

Thank you Grannie Frannie and Pa Todd!!! Abby couldn't have been more excited! Just look at that face. As I pulled each thing out of the box all she could say was " Oh my Gosh!!" she said it about 20 times.
We loved all the cute cards and presents, But the jammies were my favorite!!

Ballerina Abby

My friend Ashley and I decided to be industrious and make leg warmers and tutu's for our girls. A day later this is what we had!! Needless to say the girls absolutely loved them!! Abby couldn't stop dancing and posing long enough for me to get a shirt on her...but I finally managed to get one on.

Mommy Abby

OK this is the cutest thing ever!!! If you look closely at the pictures you will see that Abby has all her bears and babies lined up on the blanket. You will also see to the right that there are about 20 baby wipes and one of Audrey's diapers, and if you look at Abby you will see that she has her arms folded and eyes closed.

I walked in to check on her the other night and found all this and had to take some pictures. After she realized I was in there I asked her what she was up to? She sweetly replied "I changed all my babies diapers and now we are saying prayers so I can put them to bed". I couldn't believe it...she really is learning even though she talks and giggles and plays through all are family prayers. I am so grateful for our beautiful sweet Abby! What a precious little spirit.

Fall leaves

Abby absolutely loves being outside!! So we took advantage of the sunny weather, even though it is like 55 degrees outside! We went to Manito Park and let all the kids play on the playground and feed the ducks. It is so fun to have so many friends with kids all the same age here in Spokane. We try to get together at least once a week and let the kids run wild and get all their energy out, while all the moms relax and chat. The fall leaves are so beautiful, and Abby loves playing in them, so I had to get her in action. What a cute girlie!!

The Fashion Girl!

So Abby has just discovered that she can dress herself...and pick out her clothes!

I know, I know she just might have a career in the fashion industry!!!

This has been hard for me, but she thinks she is such a big girl and a big helper when she gets ready herself!! It is so cute how proud she is!! What a cutie!

Tripple the Fun!!

Cute new friends!!

Abby, Kamryn and Tegan

Abby made some new friends this weekend!!

Just like Abby these girls dads live for GOLF too!!!

So Saturday they all played in a tournament and so

all the wives and kids got together to hang out.

It was a fun day!! Lost of good conversation and food!

I'm so grateful for new friends for Abby as well as for me!!

We caught them in the crib...the best trampoline ever!!!

The moms Mauressa, Chelsea and me

Each of us have two kids and they are all

about the same age! Lots of fun to come!!!

Twins

OK I guess I never realized how much Abby and Audrey look alike. I took this picture the other day and to me they could be twins, OK not really, but they look so much alike. They have the same nose, eyes, lips, etc. Maybe you all have noticed it already, but it has taken me seeing this picture to notice it. What cute girlies!!!

Abby beanie boo

So I loved the pics I got of Audrey with her beanie, so I decided to take some of Abby with hers. I can't get over how cute these beanies are!!! and my girls!!! I know I know I am their mom, but I have to brag to someone.

Dancing Queen

Abby and I started the mom and me dance class today!! What a fun thing. There are two other Moms (from our ward) that are in the class with us and they have the cutest little girls. Abby, Lauren and Kamay had so much fun, I don't know why we didn't do this sooner!! It is definitely a nice thing to get out and let the girls get out a lot of their energy. It also seems to make the day go smoother!! I can't wait for next week!!!

BYE BYE BABA HELLO BUILD A BEAR!!

Well what a great idea Jenn gave us. Up until Friday September 7th Abby would take a sippy cup of milk (aka baba) to bed and nap time. We finally felt like it was time to grow up and be done with the sippy, besides the fact that she was waking up 3 times a night for more milk. So we headed out to Build A Bear Friday night ( what a fun place). We tried to prep her and let her know that she could get whatever she wanted as long as she paid for it with her sippy cups. All went well she was really excited and couldn't wait to pay for it. She tried to give the lady the sippys right when we walked in. She ended up picking a cute bunny who she named BUNNYBOO. She picked out a Sleeping Beauty outfit and some Jammies for her bunny. She had so much fun, I don't think she even realized what she was doing!! Well she was all smiles... until bed time, then came the tears and the asking for the baba!! So now she is still getting up 2 times a night but it is to go potty, which we are happy for! (no more pull ups!!) So things are definitely getting better, we will just give it more time and hopefully she will learn to sleep all night!! My thanks go out to Jenn for the great idea!!!

Abigail Mckall

These are the newest pictures we have of Abby. Jenn took them just about two weeks before we moved to Spokane. I love all of them!! It is nice to have a photographer in the family!!!
