17 months

Happy Birthday, Miss Abigail!

I can't believe you'll be a year and a half next month.  It's crazy how quickly you've gone from a baby to a toddler in these past 5 months.

As a tribute to this just-shy-of-a-year-and-a-half milestone, I thought I'd share "17 reasons why Abigail is Awesome" (like this one I did for Dad)



1)  You wake up singing- every morning

2) We got you a mini table and chairs (above) and you think it's amazing.  You'll eat anything I put in front of you while sitting there like a big girl.

3) You love your baby doll and pat her back to soothe her.  You've also started sleeping with her and will gab away as you fall asleep.

4) You and Minnie are best friends.  Ca's for life!

5) Your smile lights up a room.

6) You and Dad have a secret language- you think it's pretty funny.

7) Your hair is so curly that we had to start a deep conditioning treatment to keep the fro at bay.

8) Johnny Walker is by far your favorite toy.  You'll cruise around for hours but still refuse to take more than 20 steps on your own (being stubborn is pretty awesome- trust me, I know.)

9) You LOVE boys: men, babies, teenagers- age doesn't matter.  (I'm not sure if this makes you awesome, or me worry for your teenage years...)

10) You would win a geriatric prune competition, hands down.  Dried fruit is your fav.

11) Music makes your world go round.  You love when Dad plays guitar or sitting at Papa's office door, listening to him play music.

12) You sing the Tango constantly.  It's become the theme song to our life and gets stuck in everyone's head (Grandma taught it to you- she loves to dance around with you and sing it)

13) You answer to Bitz as quickly as Abigail.  Your nickname alone makes you pretty awesome.

14) You love aggressive cuddling; clenching your jaw and hugging as tightly as you can.

15) You adore The Little Mermaid soundtrack, and Under the Sea has the ability to make you stop crying instantly.

16) You prefer to stand in the grocery cart when shopping.  I can't blame you, you look pretty cool, but I've received more than a few glares for it.

and the #1 reason why you're awesome?!

Well that's simple....

17) YOU'RE OURS!!



Happy Birthday, Bitsy Girlfriend.

I love you~

Lake Wenatchee

Happy Birthday, Kevin! We spent an awesome 4 days on Lake Wenatchee this past weekend; relaxing by the lake, (attempting) to fish, playing in the water, and enjoying quality time together as a family.  Our parents joined us on Saturday afternoon to celebrate Kevin's birthday; a wonderful day full of family, food, and the great outdoors. Weekend highlights include Fish Lake on Friday (Abigail and i will not be invited back for the next fishing adventure...we may have mangled the line more than once), a trip into Leavenworth for pizza and dancing at the gazebo, a steak feast for Kevin's birthday, and relaxing by the bonfire that evening. Here are some pictures of our trip. Friday at Fish Lake "helping" Dad with his tackle While Kevin fished, Abigail and I fed Parmesan garlic pita chips to the ducks. At one point, we had a crowd of 10! Ladies of leisure on the lake  :) This sums up our fishing experience... Thursday evening f...

20 week ultrasound

Yesterday Kevin and I went to our 20 week ultrasound.  Everything looked great and the two questions still lingering in my mind were confirmed. 1) Yes, it's a boy! 2) Nope, I'm not having twins  :) I've heard it a million times: with each pregnancy you pop a little sooner, but when I was in maternity pants at 12 weeks, I thought surely there must be two in there... Here are some pictures, if you'd like to see. During George's 20 week ultrasound Kevin admitted he'd almost fallen asleep, so I will admit: I had a hard time staying awake this time  :) But we did get to see him in 4D ultrasound which we've never done before, so that was really cool. So fun! After our appointment we went to breakfast at Salish Lodge and took my first Month of Bumps picture. (cue shrills of excitement from everyone eager to see belly pics for the next 4 months!) Before taking the picture I (lovingly) assured Kevin that yes, we would be taking...

It's Santa Time!

Kevin and I kicked it up a notch this year for our annual visit to Santa with dinner at Hamanasu followed by a night at the Hyatt! We've been waiting to make this a bigger deal (add the overnight piece) for a few years, but this was the first year we felt the kids were old enough for it - and it was sooo much fun!
