Last Day of School

Yesterday was Abbi's last day of Kindergarten. She wanted to get Mrs. Hansen a gift, and she wanted to choose everything...no shocker there. 

She decided on the prettiest flowers there were, because there are 3 colors, and a chocolate bar. (You can't go wrong with a chocolate bar.) I suggested she also make a card, and is was seriously adorable, complete with a picture of Abbi and Mrs. hansen on the front, and 3 full sentences in the inside about how much she loved being in kindergarten. 
Bink...bink...

I'm not usually one to get all teary eyed, but graduation was just so crazy cute. They sang tons of songs, and looked adorable in their blue caps and gowns. I have no doubt that Abbi will do great things, she is such a fantastic kid. We lucked out for sure, she will be a great role model for her younger sisters. Love you Abbsie!!!

We Have Grass!




Isn't it so pretty! Next time I post pictures of our house there will be pretty trees and bushes, and flowers. 

My Mother's Day

I love Mother's Day, and I make sure to tell Andy just how much I love it....for about a week in advance, just to make sure. Andy was amazing! He got the girls up, fed, bathed, and dressed, all before I got up and ready. Then he made me oatmeal, just like I like it. During the whole day he and the girls made the day so great!
 Abbi and Reese made me cute pictures in church, and Abbi made me a flower pen and pad of paper at school. Andy arranged for me to get my hair done, I got a new purse, and I even got a back massage from Andy, yippee for me!! We ate dinner with friends, and Andy was super helpful in every way. This was truly a fabulous Mother's day for me! Thank you Andy, Abbi, Reese, and Brynn xoxoxo

Carnival Day


Brynny is an adventurer, so being confined is very hard for her. She wants to be free to wander and explore. Apparently grass is super exciting!
Abbi really wanted to conquer the rock wall. She climbed about half way up, and then kept losing her footing. After trying 4 times, she decided she would try again next time.
                   This is as close as Reese came to the rock wall. She just wasn't having it.

Mother's Day Miracle!

Mother's Day was a miraculous day. The tooth Finally came out!! After 2 months...that's right, 2 months, Abbi's wiggly tooth was set free. 

Abbi is the funniest kid, she had no interest in wiggling her tooth at all! The only time she did was when Andy or I would ask her to, and for the last 2 or 3 weeks that tooth was holding on with only the tiniest edge. Hoorah for you, Abbs for holding your ground and not yanking that tooth out the second you discovered it was loose...you are a much more patient girl than your mom!


And now only 6 days later her other front tooth comes out. This one was "helped" along a little when a boy in Abbi's class elbowed her in the mouth. Yikes!
