Miss Independent

Look at my big girl! This is a month late on my blog, but I couldn't leave this one out. Abbi learned to ride a bike without training wheels, YEAH!!! She rides like a champ now. Abbi is funny because when she decides that she can do something she does it and she does it well. So far, knock on wood, she hasn't had any falls on her bike, no scratches, really no trouble at all. This same week she taught herself how to tie her own shoelaces. I was showing her how I like to tie my shoes and she says, " No mommy, I think I'll do it my way", and she does. 

Dance Party

Abbi and Reese were rockin out to Hannah Montana of coarse. Reese was, well....being Reese, but I got Abbi in an action shot. Abbi loves listening to music and Reese just loves doing EVERYTHING that Abbi does. She literally wants to do anything that Abbi does. Abbi is such a sweetheart, and she is usually a good sport about it, but as you can imagine having a shadow can get frustrating, especially for a five year old.

Reese

Me and my Mellows!

Both Reese and Abbi love

 their treats, a trait they 

picked up from their mom 

no doubt. This is the expression 

that I get from Reese in 8 

out of 10 times I take a

 picture. 

Abbi's first day of pre-school

CATCHING UP

So I did it, I started a blog. it will take me a while before I really get the hang of everything, but it is fun to start something new. I thought I would start out by recapping our life in the last year.

Andy and I went to Hawaii last March with friends and it was an absolute Blast (Buttacup)!! We started building a house, and we of coarse are in that house now, Abbi started preschool (there is my favorite picture of Abbi on that day), Reese turned 2 in November, and we were actually able to go on a vacation for Christmas. That was all in 2007, and more recently Abbi turned 5 in January, we moved into our house February 21st, and one week later, on leap day of coarse, Brynn was born. Life slowed down for a few weeks at our house due to doctors threatening us not to take our baby out too much due to the high risk of RSV during the "cold" months in Utah. So life is starting to pick up again, and the weather is getting warmer so we will be spending much more time outside.

New addition to the family!

   Brynn is AMAZING!!! She is 7 weeks old today and she has been sleeping through the night for two weeks now. (I hope I didn't just jinx myself). I was not this lucky with either of the other girls, so I am fully appreciative of her sleeping skills. She goes to sleep between 9:30 and 10:30, and she sleeps until 6:30 A.M. WHAT, you may be asking yourself... so am I, I love it!!!! 

    We blessed Brynn on April 13th. It was so nice because Andy's sister Laura and her family came to stay with us for a week, and Nana and Papa, as my girls call them, stayed with us for a few days as well.
