They all got in the pool but Abby was a little moody and barely got in.
At 5 we went to a water play party at Abbys school, she was more interested in the playground than the blow up slides, I guess she is just burned out on water play.
But she thought the water guns? were fun, notice I got hit and so did my camera, but it seems to work okay although you can see water in the screen.
Abby has not hardly taken these tap shoes off, she loves to here them clicking when she walks.
After we got Abby signed up for dance she wanted to show baby Maggie her new tap shoes!
GranJan and Pops took Carlee and Abby to Madisons house on Tuesday for her real birthday in Clanton. They had such a good time because they don't get to go to her house much!
They took Bar-b-Que, an ice cream cake.
Pops does the add a pearl necklace for all three girls for their birthday, and GranJan gives them a birthday girl figurine. Then they also got Madison a DS!
They had fun playing silly games with a big kid at the horse show. GranJan took Abby and they met Jason and Tammy Abby had so much fun and came home exhausted.
But when she got home Tabor was here waiting on her so they started playing and then wanted to swim.
They swam for a while but as you can see Abby was pooped, she sat in the lounge chair more than she swam, what a strange sight.
But she got her second wind and they played outside the rest of the night. They are so cute riding in their Jeeps, listening to the radio.
Nothing last long and they were on to something else. They would get at the top of the driveway pick up their feet and fly down the driveway.
Sweet & Sassy: Need I say more, this is just such a girly place and she loves to go there to get the glitter put in her hair a sucker and most of all that purple star on her cheek! She always does so good.
Baby Maggie: This is the sweetest little baby, she will be 5 months old next week and is getting the best personality, it's so easy to make her smile.
Just play around in the yard after a walk around the neighborhood, deciding where to go eat... Sometimes it's just more fun watching you trike go down the hill all by its self instead of riding it. And when you can't find your binoculars, you just make do with what God gave you.
Pizza Hut it is. My batteries died just a few minutes after we got there so I didn't get any good pictures but it was such a simple family night I wanted to have something to post. So all I can say is after spending $5.00 trying to win a dolphin Jason finally gave up as bad as he hated to since she was sad, but I know that it would be old news by the time we got home. This is a fake picture of them playing the driving game because my batteries died during the real game but I got just enough juice to take a phony shot. And then there was the pickle and lemon, although she loves salad and ate some, she eats pickles and lemons any chance she gets. Yuck! So anyway a great day and a great night.
A little while later we got in the pool while we were waiting on her daddy to get home, and she spotted a couple of ants, she took it upon herself to get the net and get them out, I'm telling you this girl does not like bugs.
FINALLY she is jumping off the side!! We have tried to get her to jump for 2 years now and today she decided to and loved it of course, so she is jumping like crazy.
Jason was off today so while he was cutting grass his sister was watching Abby at his mom and dads house so they went swimming. Abby looks like such a big girl next to Maggie, wasn't it just the other day she was this small?
Abby jumping off the side and loving it, laying out on the float, and is that her in the deep end?
When I got home from work Abby said "Tabor isn't home but Rhett wants me to go with him to ride my bicycle" so here we are walking the neighborhood, she has a long way to go before we will be taking her training wheels off.
We definitely have water babies, these girls know exactly what to do when they see water. They are not afraid of it at all, except the catfish that were swimming around, then the whole beach could, hear those girls screaming!
After Dr.Jones checked her out, and she got a fluoride treatment, she got to pick out some cool prizes, her Grammy made sure of that! She had a great experience, thanks Dr.Jones, Candy and to Grammy.
We also caught up with Kerri and her bunch, Abby and Tabor went down that huge slide a thousand times!
Decisions, decisions.....all these clothes, what to buy? And she had to give her bear a quick bath!
So Jason and I are just sitting there, Abby and her friends are in her playroom, then here they come, my camera was right there so I had to take pictures of this conversation I was having with a 6,5,4 and 3 year old. Mason lives down the street and I know his mom and would have no problem with Abby going down there if she was older but they were asking if they could all go to Masons house, they said they would be careful and notice the "map" in Tabors hands, "they had a short cut", I just laughed and said no I don't think so, but they were serious and continued on begging. I looked at Jason and said am I really having this conversation? Abby had her Minnie Mouse phone and said she would call me if she needed anything! They just crack me up. So anyway I ended up walking them down there and let them all run around in Masons yard for a few minutes and that was good enough. I guess this is just the beginning!
Abby and Tabor have been playing most of the day and swam of course, but now they are at Tabors house, I can't believe that Abby is still over there. She always wanted to play here, but she is venturing out. Tabor has two older brothers so there is no telling what she will come home saying. They came back in the rain with their cute little umbrellas just long enough to ask if she could eat dinner with them. She is only 3 but so grown up all of the sudden.
My mom and dad kept my kittens while we were out of town, and the girls over there playing so I couldn't resist taking a picture.
We ate outside at Shuckums but first we had to draw on the wall!
When you are riding down the strip with the windows rolled down and the music turned up loud this is what you get. Abby was cracking me up when she was getting down in her car seat, she was into it too!
After souvenir shopping Abby wanted to ride, each one she got on took her money, but after trying them all and the fourth one finally worked it was worth all the quarters we put in when she was so happy and started laughing.
We went to Pier Park and as soon as we the trampoline ride thing, we knew we would be paying for her to ride and sure enough that's what she wanted to do. She waited her turn so patiently,(forever) and when she was done she just squeezed our neck and told us over and over how much fun that was.
Abby saw this giraffe and told me she wanted her picture made with it, she colored her picture at the restaurant, The Back Porch and then when we got ready to go back to our car we got a ride on a pedicab, and he took the scenic route, that was worth what ever Jason tipped him.
We ate at Captain Anderson's for my birthday, I know, what better way to celebrate your birthday? Well I turned 30, and was not very happy about it and have really been dreading it. Before we blew out the candle we all made a wish and Abby said her wish was that she could eat that pie and then she said I wish my mom wouldn't be 30, I said me too! But while we were eating that yummy piece of chocolate pie and I got to share it with my two favorite people I figured it will be okay so I am over it now.
We went to Gulf World to see the dolphin show and the high divers and the sea lion show, that was a lot of fun getting to watch Abby experience all these new things, we saw huge turtles, manta ray's, birds, sharks, penguins,alligators and a scuba diver.
After we took pictures on the beach, we went back to the room, and I cooked a pizza while Jason took Abby back to the beach to do some crab hunting, we just knew she would freak out but she thought they were pretty and she even walked on the sand after seeing them. She usually goes crazy when she sees any type of bug or insect, she always surprises me.
