July 29, 2009

BEEN BUSY WITH:

* Family Reunion
* Abbie's sleep struggles
* "walkies" (walks)
* knee scrapes ("Owies") from the "walkies"

glad to say the reunion was a blast, the sleep struggles are no longer, the walkies never get old and the knee scrapes are healing (slowly) :)

i'll post pictures when i get the energy to get the photos off my camera...

a little Q & A

Question: Did i (cami of course) attend the midnight showing of the latest Harry Potter film? Did i thoroughly enjoy it? and although i've been a bit cranky the past few days due to sleep loss, was it worth it?
Answer: yes, yes, and heck yes! (although, i'm not sure clark would agree)this guy was the usher at the theater - not the real hpwow we're cool - tshirts we had made and scars drawn with tara's eyeliner. wow.

Question: Did Abbie recently turn 18 months old! and did she have a yummy cupcake to celebrate, of which did she scrape off the frosting and then ask for "mwore"?

Answer: yes - this chick loves frosting like her papa
Question: Has Abbie recently learned the art of "showing her teeth"?

Answer" yes (proof to follow)
Question: Have I been watching the smut that is the Bachelorette? and was i extremely upset with the recent disposal of Reed?

Answer: shamefully yes

Question: Did Abbie and i just finish a two week swim class where she learned some new fun songs and how to blow bubbles in the water? In this swimming class was her favorite part jumping in from the wall and the free time with the "noodies" (the swim noodles)?

Answer: Yes and YES!
Question: Last, but not least - Did Clark and i realize we do not want a dog? And that while watching my parent's dog while they're in New Orleans is teaching us that having a dog and an 18 month old is a struggle? (Abbie and Rudy are like little siblings... they fight constantly)

Answer: Yes. we love you Rudy, but we love you more when you live at home :)

Holiday and Birthday

I know this is late, but we were gone over the weekend ...

My cute husband turned 27 on July 4th. Abbie and I are SO lucky to have this great man in our life. Clark is seriously the greatest father ever...Abbie adores him (as do i) Clark started school last week and we don't get to see him as often as we'd like, but we are SO proud of him! Thanks for being so wonderful Clark - love you and Happy Birthday!We had such a blast up at the Clark's parent's cabin over the holiday/birthday weekend. Abbie loved playing with her cousins and going for "walkies" - i swear this little girl could spend the entire day outside!We also went down to the little festivities in Scofield and Abbie got to ride a pony and ride on the "weeeeee" (swings).
Clark and his brothers bought guns down at the carnival and spent the rest of the weekend shooting each other with plastic pellets - seems like when they get together they are required to act like little boys again :) i think it's hilarious!
My cute sister Tara came up to hang out with us for our campfire and fireworks ... it was a super great weekend!!!

Abbie says...

This little girl LOVES popsicles (popkikies)

Abbie is talking SO much these days. some of my favorite words she says are...
"oh no"
"amina" (animal)
"mwore" (more)
"pease" (please)
"cooookhee" (cookie)
"appykysos" (apple sauce)
"upsaers" (upstairs)
"pa" (grandpa)
"Rooey" (Rudy)
"Moring" (Good Morning)
"a guh" (all gone)

okay, i'll stop. but i just LOVE her little words. she is growing up so fast.

Apparently this is what happens when you give a child a Go-gurt, a bowl, and a spoon...

Grandparents trump parents

This past Saturday Abbie got to have a sleep over at Grandma & Grandpa's house and Clark and I had a little getaway up to the Zermatt in Heber City. It was so much fun to have some time with Clark ... It was our first getaway from our Abigail since she was born (wow, huh?) It was actually really weird not to have her with us, but she had a BLAST with her Grandparents - and when we went to pick her up on Sunday afternoon she did NOT want to come with us. how sad is that?
We didn't take any pictures the entire weekend - but here are a few of abbie the last little while.

loves playdough
LOVES babies
