Alabama Adventure.

(7/28/10)Back to Alabama Adventure, we got our tickets so late we had to get in a few trips in a short time, this time it was just me and Abby, and we were their all day, we did everything their was to do, we met Carlee and Madison and their momma's their after they registered for kindergarten! We all went down the big slide with the intertubes and this time Abby decided she would go down the little big slide too. Then we picked up Rhett and Tabor and went to Grammy's house to swim while Jason cut grass.
(7/27/10)When I came home they were all in the pool but it started to rain so they brought it inside and kept going. Ahhhh to be 4 and to just have fun all the time.
(7/26/10)This is what I come home to most days...Jason and Abby outside doing something, usually riding bikes and some days there is a yard full of kids. I love it!

Alabama Adventure.

(7/23/10)Back to Alabama Adventure, this time I was brave enough to take all 3 girls, and we meet Bridget with her 2 girls. We had so much fun, Bridget and I participated more that we planned when we went to the big side of the water park. Abby and Carlee would go down the smaller one with me, Madison would go by herself and even when down the big slide that is covered but I think it scared her, we all ended up going down it but they were not sure about it. It's hard to get pictures on the water side so here they are when we went to the car for lunch. Then more dress up when we got home. Then later we swam at home when some of the neighborhood kids came over. That's a lot of water for a 4 year old, but she loves it and sleeps good at night. Notice NO floaties! We have to be very careful, but she is doing good swimming on her own.

My birthday.

(7/21/10)After work I went to Pop's to find yet another birthday cake made special by Pop's and Abby. Abby designed it and decorated it, didn't she do good??? She wanted pink and blue with lots of sprinkles:) I have decided to not hate being in my 30's but to be so thankful I have birthday's and have such great people to share each one with.
(7/18/10)We spent the day at Tannehill, it was a hot day, but Bubbling Springs always cools us off, it always shocks me how COLD that water is, I don't know how kids play in it. Brrrrr
(7/12/10)Today we went to Albertville for a family reunion for the Moore family. We had a good pot luck lunch at the church where a lot of grave sites were for the Moore's and we meet a lot of family that I never knew, mom and dad rode with us and Jason and Jerry came with their families too. They had a fun playground right outside, this was a neat thing they were swinging on! The girls playing before it started to rain. Abby and Uncle Eddie, he is such a kid himself. In between rain showers they HAD to go see the horses.

(7/12/10)Bridget came over with her girls it was fun to let the girls swim, and dress up and then we went out for lunch. Later when Jason got home we swam again, and yes that is Abby swimming with NO floaties, she wanted to take them off so bad. We let her try swimming and she did pretty good! She would even hold her breath and go under!

Abby's Princess Party

(7/11/10)Today we celebrated Abby's 4th birthday, she had Cinderella their and most of her closest friends and family. When Jason got back from picking up the cake, Abby thought it was great, and got in a daze looking at the cake and I got some cute pictures. This was the food table, although I did not get a picture of the food on the table. I got alot of ideas from blog sites, and had sooo much fun decorating. The theme was "princess" but not too much of the disney princess, more like anything, sweet; crystal, glitter, tulle, pink, purple, stars, hearts, and more glitter. Abby was in awe of Cinderella really being at her house. Before the party started Cinderella was in Abby's room waiting on everyone to arrive, while I was in their talking to her Abby peeked around the corner and the look on her face was priceless, she just stared at her and looked so nervous, it was really sweet. She hugged her and they got to know each other. After the girls picked them out a dress and high heel shoes, they went to Cinderella's table where they got make-up, glitter in their hair and they picked out a best friends necklace and ring and then Cinderella used her wand and made them into a real princess. This is one of Abby's friends, Breanna that she goes to pre-school with she had another party to go to and could not stay long, but she got her make-up done, and I sent her home with all the party favors: castle magnet craft, tiara, lip gloss, necklace, ring, magic wand, coloring page, crayons, and choclate suckers in heart and start shapes. Some of the little princesses!! After the girls had been served their food they were entertained, Cinderella told the story in a very theatrical way, she would break out in song, and then continue the the story. It was amazing, I was impressed, she could really sing and the girls loved it. Later she had the girls up with their wands and they sang Bibbity Bobbity Boo! SO CUTE! After helping serve cake and ice cream, Cinderella helped Abby open all her presents. All of her friends. They were hugging Cinderella over and and over and when it was time to go, they all dashed to the door upstairs to watch her leave, she said little girls always want to see what kind of car she leaves in. They waved and just sort of stood on the front steps for a minute like they were sad she was leaving. I think they all had a good time, and I am so thankful she has such sweet friends and they all have sweet momma's and I am friends with them all. Abby, Tabor and Abbie playing with her new barbie make-up kit from Mrs.Kelley her K3 teacher who wasn't able to make it. They LOVE make-up.

Happy Birthday Sara

(7/10/10)We were invited to Sara's 2nd birthday party on Saturday, it was red white and blue theme. They served BBQ and yummy homemade ice cream. Abby had fun, but we had to leave a little early because tomorrow is her birthday party!!

New booster seat.

(7/3/10) So she has had her new seat for a few days now but I just had to post it. She was tired of her "baby" carseat and wanted a booster, I finally gave in but I could have kept her in the "baby" seat a lot longer :)

Saturday

(6/26/10)I love Saturday's like this, nothing planned and we just leave with no plans! We did a little shopping ate a great lunch and ended up at the movies! This was Abby's very first time to go to the movies, and she loved it. We watched Toy Story 2! Later we went to the Sylvan Springs Homecoming celebration at the park, we picked up Tabor along the way, we didn't stay long but the girls got to jump for a few minutes.

Madison spent the night.

(6/23/10)Madison did so good spending the night, the next day they swam, played rode bikes and played with the neighbors.

Happy Birthday Pops!

First time in our pool.

(6/20/2010)Finally! We finally got our pool open, but it wasn't from lack of trying. We have had the hardest time, we have bought chemicals and lots of them. We finally had to drain the pool and start over, draining it and cleaning it and getting the last bit of water/green out was a job BUT now it's ready to go!! Abby got to swim in it when it was half full, she could touch but still swim she had a ball. This was later when some friends came over, let the summer begin!!

Choo Choo

(6/19/10)Since Aunt Donna had Haley up here from Florida for a few days she and GranJan wanted to take them somewhere, so... they went to ride the Choo Choo! They had a great time I heard. Later they all went to WalMart and they bought bathing suits, floaties, new dresses for church, and much more, they were loving it. They went to Aunt Donna's to swim in her pool and then all took baths, Abby wanted to spend the night so she did, this was the first time to spend the night somewhere besides grandparents, she is such a big girl. They went to church and then we went out to pick her up.

PG VBS

(6/18/10)Friday night PG had the program for bible school with water slides afterwards. They had hotdogs and snocones too. They all got to play and eat before it started to rain! Aunt Donna and Haley came to watch the girls and they were so happy to see Haley.
