Abby's 4th Birthday!

Abby's birthday started with the tradition of presents by her door! This was no small feat as the boys and I arrived home late in the evening from North dakota the night before...but with Brent's help I was able to get everything ready for the early morning present opening...

One of the things she had been asking for since February was the Cinderella Wedding dress...



We had Tinkerbelle cake! When the girls and I went to pick it up, we had lunch at Chili's. I forgot my camera, and I am sad about it too, because they sand to her and brought her a big ice cream and brownie dessert!

Her best friends...

She wanted to take her family bowling...

Daniel even got in on the action!

And she wanted to play a little Deal or No Deal...

We ended the day with some cheese pizza from Papa Murphy's and then Abby got cozy in her new Tinkerbell PJ's. As I was tucking her into bed, I asked her what her favorite part of the day was and she said, "Being with you, Mom!" Melted this mommy's heart. Happy birthday sweet girl! We love you SOOO much!


PS...I sure am glad I started this post BEFORE the big move...at least the date I started it was close to her actual birthday! :)

Daniel's Haircut

Daniel was so funny the other night when I cut his hair. He would go from being so upset to roaring laughing...


He is such a funny boy! :-)

Today I went...

Swimming with these two beauties! :-)


We have been having lots of "girl" time while the big boys are away at camp. It was like 110 here today...so the pool was the place to be! And inside a nice cool air conditioned house was the place for Daniel to be. He and daddy had a fun time here at home. And even though this video clip is from the other day, I am sure that they did plenty of this...

Sleepover!

We decided that while the big boys were away at camp, it would be a good time to have a girly sleepover...




...poor Daniel! :-)
