Pumpkin Patch

Sunday after church we went to the Loveless Park Baptist Church Pumpkin Patch at Shadow Lake. Here is Abby getting her face painted! And sitting pretty in front of one of the many decorations I was suprised when Abby was digging for those nasty fake rats, a few weeks ago she would have been screeming, they are ever changing aren't they. She had so much fun throwing chunks of corn on the cob through the pumpkins. She was throwing the "eggs" into the hens basket, she has a pretty good arm on her, too bad she is not intrested in softball at all. Abby made a friend and had so much fun on the huge blow up slide, she wore herself out. It was such a perfect day for the pumpkin patch and espically for a hay ride, her favorite song is Big Green Tractor and starts smiling and singing when it comes on so we HAD to ride on the Big Green Tractor (not the orange one, we held out for the green one). LOOK HOW BIG I AM!!!

Halloween Party

(10/23/09)Abby was invited to a Halloween party, we did not have her costume when we found out and I was not going to have time to get one by Friday so we pulled this outfit together and I thought she looked pretty cute. Abby, Maggie, Haley, Cameron and Bailie. Christy did such a good job on the party, she had a pumpkin bean bag toss,go fish and a mummy wrap. There was the pie toss, and bobbin for apples. Abby was not into either one of them. She did do the cake walk thought. Thanks Christy for inviting us to the fun party!

Home Decor Party

(10/23/09)I had a Home Decor Party at my house Thursday night, these are some of the things she was selling, I could have bought one of everything, it was all so pretty. It was fun getting ready for the party and making refreshments, I had little ham and cheese sandwiches, a cheeseball, and peanunt butter balls. I ended up with $40.00 in free stuff and 3 jar candles. I had two guest book a show so needless to say I had a pretty good party. Abby kept saying is today my party?! She was so excited about "her" party. Lindsey brought her little boy Andrew and they played so good the whole time, they go to school together and play on the playground together so they never skipped a beat.

Making PB balls

(10/22/09) Abby and Tabor helped me roll the peanut butter balls, they did a pretty good job too!

A day at the barn

Sunday afternoon all three girls were at GranJan and Pops house, after playing for a while they all went to the barn to see Dusty and to ride him around for a while. This is Dustys stall. While Jason was getting him saddled up this is what the girls were doing, and I am sure they were not quiet about it, they can be really loud. They all took turns riding and then rode two at a time as well, they all love him and he does so good when they ride him

Saturday morning

(10/10/09)First thing Saturday morning this is what Abby put on, and she got her some fingernail polish and did a pretty good job don'tcha think??? When Abby ask me what was wrong I told her that our team was doing bad and I told her I needed her to do a cheer to try and help the tigers score! It didn't do much good:( but we will do better next week.

Firetruck at school

(10/7/09)Wednesday after Jason and I took Abby to school, we went over to the life center for a while and when we came out Abbys class was outside with the Pleasant Grove Fire Dept. they were showing them everything on the firetruck, her teacher told me that when they put the oxygen mask on it bothered her a little but we talked about why they have to wear them sometimes and she was OK with it. I didn't get any good pictures because I didn't want to disturb the classes, but I thought it was so cute I had to snap a few pictures. While Abby was at school we worked on some more of our fall/Halloween decoration, this is not finished but Abby wanted her picture made with the little girl scarecrow.

Happy birthday Ella

(10/3/09)We went to Kmart to buy gifts for Abbys school friends Ella and Emma they both have birthdays this month. She was dancing to the Christmas music and being silly pretending to drive the lawn mower, we have fun wherever we go. Abbys friend Ella at school had a costume party for her 4th birthday, Abby went as an Auburn cheerleader, they had so much fun playing with bubbles and playing on the swing set! Happy Birthday Ella!

Abby and madison

(10/2/09)Madison came home with us Friday night and they got to play for alittle while until her daddy came to get her.

Last trip to Alabama Adventure

This will be our last trip to Alabama Adventure, Jasons mom and sister (and Maggie) went with us, after we rode the hurricane, Jason and I went to ride some of the big rides while Abby went with Grammy to the kiddy park, it has been a while since I have ridden any big rides, and they scared me to death but I would keep riding them.

Baby Maggie

We babysat Maggie, and she was such a sweet girl,(make you kind of want another one...KIND OF). Abby and Tabor were very interested in her at first, then they were into playing dress-up. You can see them helping change her diaper, they would bearly touch it, and thought it was gross. We had fun keeping her and hope we can keep her again soon.

Alabama State Fair

We went to the Alabama State Fair Friday night. The rain held out and we had such a good time! Abby was wanting to ride everything, I couldn't believe she wanted to ride this roller coaster. She was holding on tight though. Of course she had to do the trampoline that is what she was looking forward to, this was the third time she has done it, the first time was last year at the fair when she was two. She did so good she finally got the back flip and then she was doing it over and over. These boats were flying around the circle, but she liked it, last year she pitched a fit when I put her in a boat and tried to get her to ride it. And she wanted to ride in the horse and buggy, notice in the two pictures to the left that she is twrilling her hair, there were to little boys in front of her and she twrilled her hair the whole time. I have never seen her do that before. Me and my mommy! We ate hand dipped corn dogs, played the duck game, went through the house of mirrors and went in the petting farm. Me and my daddy! This is the dolphin she won after she went fishing, she was so happy about winning that dolphin, she told me she has been wanting one for a long time. She named her Martha(???), but she always ask me what her name is because she can't remember. We saw monkeys riding dogs, she and Jason went through the crazy house where the floors move,(I don't have a picture of that because they had the music up loud at that place was packed).This slide was one of the rides she wanted to ride so bad but she just wasn't tall enough, so she had to ride the choo choo train instead she looked a little big for it but I bet next year she won't have anything to do with the "baby rides". We had a great time and Abby is already looking forward to next year!

Last year at the fair

This was last year at the fair, we did a lot of the same things we did this year,like the duck game, house of mirrors, fishing and the petting farm. You can see she did not like the boats so much but loved the trampoline. Dora, Diego and Sponge Bob were the main attraction for us. She remembers everything about it and is already talking about next year. More pictures of the fair in 2008.

School project/Tumblebus

Every Tuesday morning Abby goes to the Tumblebus, and she LOVES it. She gets so excited when we are pulling into the parking lot and she sees the big bus sitting in the back of the parking lot. Abby had her first homework/project, she had to make a poster of her family so she had her Mommy and Daddy, GranJan and Pops, Grammy and GrandBob, Carlee, Madison,Bronson and Maggie and her best friend Tabor. This was Friday morning before school, she looked like such a big girl in her Kindergarten t-shirt.

Recap of summer

Labor Day

(9/7/09)On Labor Day Jason and I took Abby and Carlee to Alabama Adventure, they had a blast and they were both really good girls! They were checking out the Hurricane and believe it or not they wanted to ride it! The first time we rode it Carlee rode with me and Abby rode with Jason, then after we went to the water park they wanted to ride it again and we all rode together. Of course I couldn't get any pictures because we were all riding but they were so cute, they put their arms up in the air and were screaming, they loved it they were smiling the whole time! They rode the train and the hot air balloon farriswheel and the jeeps. Neither one of them wanted to ride the motorcycles, go figure they would ride the Hurricane but not the motorcycles. No one was working the airplanes but they said they wanted to ride it. Finally Abby rode the big farriswheel with her daddy, but Carlee just couldn't bring herself to ride it. Abby has ridden it a few times before so she knew what it was about. She and I rode it last time and a the fair, I was really kind of nervous, I guess because once you get to the top you are all by yourself. After we ate and cooled off these girls were starting to slow down. But one mention of the water park and they were ready to get their bathing suits on and go. They loved the water park! Sliding,over and over and over. When it was time to go we rode the Hurricane, and the Carousel one more time then went to the arcade cool down area and they played in the bounce house and jungle gym.

He looks exactly like Madison. Friday night we went to see this sweet baby boy. Lauren is doing great and so is the baby. Today is Jerrys birthday(nobody paid much attention to him:( all the attention is on the baby). Happy Birthday Jerry!!!

1st day of cheernastics

(9/3/09) Today was Abbys first day at cheernastics. She is taking in Pleasant Grove this year and they don't let you watch like the place she took last year so I didn't get any pictures until we got home.

Silly kiddos

(9/2/09)These silly kiddos, I guess they are tired of me always taking their picture and saying SMILE so they said take a picture of us driving a car and being scared of something and sleeping. So these are the results. \

1st day of dance

(9/1/09) Today was Abbys first day of dance. She was very excited and I think she had a good time! It was hard to get any good pictures of her before her class started but after we took her to McDonalds(she wanted a vanilla milkshake)I got some pictures of her playing outside.
