Santa

I took Abby to see Santa the other day! She didn't cry but she wasn't sure what to do as you can tell by her face! She does know how to say "santa" though!

Carlsbad

This past week we went to Carlsbad, California. My mom had time share points that she had to use by the end of the year and this was the only place she could get. It turned out to be a great place and great resort. The beaches were great and the weather was perfect. I wanted to stay forever! We were able to go to the San Diego Zoo which Abby loved and so did I. She also loved the beach! It was so cute to watch her try to walk in the sand! Thanks Mom for taking us on a great vacation! Abby loves the pool! She is a fish!
Warming up with Grandma!

She kept trying to eat the sand!

She wasn't sure what was going on here!

I love Koala's, they are sooo cute!

She really liked the ducks!

This panda was so adorable!

She loved this monkey because he was right by the glass!

Trunk or Treat/Pumpkin Patch

We had our trunk or treat for the ward last Wednesday and Abby dressed up as a Fairy!! I already had the tutu and the wings so I just added a few things! She looked so cute in her costume but then it was freezing so we practically had to cover it up! She figured out that people were putting candy in her bucket right away and wouldn't let go of it. She also discovered Suckers for the first time! It was pretty funny! We went to the pumkin patch today and Abby rode the train and jumped in the jumping house, she loved it!

My Little Fairy!

She loved the pumpkins!

Pigtails

I can finally get Abby's hair into ponytails and pigtails!! I am so excited! I think she looks so cute with them! The weather cooled down today (finally!!) so I was able to put her in her birthday outfit from her grandma! It is adorable!

Random

So I haven't blogged for a while!! I tried to the other day and it wouldn't work. Nothing real exciting has been going on so we haven't taken many pictures. I had a birthday and got a new toy (well its Abby's too). It is a bike stroller and it can be a plain stroller and a jogging stroller, it is really cool!! Abby cried the entire time I took her on the bike though, I think she was hot! Other than that Abby keeps growing and growing! She is into everything!! This is her favorite cupboard in the bathroom! She loves to get into my makeup and carry it around the house.
I don't know how to turn this around. This is my new toy as a stroller on top and a bike carrier on bottom!

The "splash Pad". These things are so great! Abby loves it and so do I!! It is very refreshing during the hot days of summer!

These are Abby's new Nike shoes that Greg bought her! She loves them!! She bring them to me so she can wear them around the house!! They are so little!

Abby loves playing in the rocks in our backyard!

We went up to Salt Lake/Bountiful a couple of weeks ago. We had a great time. We stayed with SPencer and Julie, Gregs college roommate. It was so nice of them to let us stay there. We had so much fun seeing old friends. We also go to meet Hannah!! it was so funny to watch all the kids playing together. The weather was awesome too, a nice break from Vegas!! Grace, Abby, Hannah, and Evan
The "car" that all the kids fought over!

Happy Birthday Abby!!

Happy Birthday Abby!! I cannot believe she is one. Time flies!! This has been the best and toughest year of our lives!! I can't imagine life without her. She is a joy to us and everyone else around her. I am so thankful that I was chosen to be her mother, and I thank heavenly father every day for her. She is growing so fast. She is walking like a maniac and gets into EVERYTHING!!! She took steps a while ago but just in the last week she has taken off and only walks now. We went to the doc today and she is still small but thats ok. She weighs 18 pounds and 27 3/4 inches just like her mom was at one! Since our families don't live here Abby gets two cakes. One a couple weeks ago at Gregs parents and one today and then she will get another one at my parents next week. We love this little girl!! 1 year ago

She loves to put things around her neck so I got her some necklaces

The new purse her Aunt Jennifer made her and her new Xylaphone (spelling?)

She got this tutu for Christmas but I forgot about it. Greg says she looks like AceVenura pet detective!
