Catch Up

Its been a long time since I posted. I get so busy with work, school, and Abby that I forget to update. We are doing well. we are loving this Vegas spring weather right now. Abby loves to play outside in the back yard or go to the park or on walks. She is growing every day and her vocabulary expands practically every day too! She loves to say NO! She loves kitties and doggies espcially her grandmas and of course her best bud Jack. She has been going to nursery now for about 2 months because Greg and I both teach so they let her go early. She loves it and goes in there with no problems. She is soo much fun right now and we love her to death, even when she throws a major tantrum (which happens often).

We went to California back in January so the pics are below. We went to the LA Zoo and also to the Ronald Reagan Library. It was sooo cool! We got see and go onto Air force One and see many other cool things.
This is her "cheesy" smile

She loves to outside!

She had so much fun shooting baskets with Daddy in Cali!

We started putting bubbles in her bath and she loves it! She even knows which bottle is for bubbles!

Christmas

I haven't posted for a while! We had a great Christmas! We went to St George for almost a week and had a great, relaxing time with family. We were also able to see some old college friends Teigan and Taylor which was so great! Abby was so funny to watch open presents. I still don't think she knew what was going on but oh well she got some good toys. Last weekend we went to California to see Greg's parents since we didn't get to for Christmas so pic of that to come later.

Christmas Morning

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!

The jumping house!!

She wanted to put on my shoes and my socks, silly girl!

Best Buddies!! Abby loves to climb on Jack like a horse, he usually stands up and she falls off but she thinks it is hilarious!
