in love...

There are so many things that I love about my Abigail - she is at such a fun stage right now and I just can't get enough ...1. Abbie has said "pease" (please) for the longest time, and i've been working on thanks lately - she has finally caught on, but it's always "tanks mama" even when she's saying it to daddy. i think it's adorable.

2. Abbie adores her babies and animals. She has recently started talking to them and having them answer back in a cute little voice. She'll ask them questions like "having fun?" and then she'll say "ya" for their answer. it is one of my favorite things right now!

3. I love that it's getting cold outside because Abbie is wearing warm/fuzzy jammies and i think she looks so darling in them. I love right after bath when she's all clean with her warm jammies on. that's the best time for snuggles :)

4. In my opinion, Abbie has the greatest hair. She has just enough natural curl that the ends flip in or out and she seriously wakes up in the morning or from her nap with great hair!

5. I have always loved Abbie's dance moves - but she recently attached her self to "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus (sidenote: i really really really do NOT like Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana) this song has a really good beat and Abbie loves to "put her hands up" and "move her hips like yah" and she even sings the "USA" part, love it!

i just love my little silly Abigail - she's definitely a keeper

Yesterday I spent a few hours over at my Dad/Brothers' office to help with some work and when I came home this is what I found ....aren't dads the best!

music moments

Do you ever hear a song on the radio and immediately you're thrown back to a specific time in your life? Like today I was out running a few errands and I heard Avril Lavigne, "Complicated" and it took me back to a few days after graduating high school feeling all depressed from a lame breakup - haha!
When i got home from running errands Abbie was helping me make my bed (yay for flannel sheets) and we had the radio on ... when my Abbie hears music she has to bust a move so we had a dance party on my bed :) anyway, the song "Over My Head (Cable Car)" came on and I just watched her jump and shake and I was in heaven ... I LOVE MUSIC. and I love that when I hear this song again i'll be taken back to this small moment with my little dancing abbie

we had a great conference weekend! hope yours was fabulous too

We had a wonderful weekend up at the Caldwell's cabin in Scofield ... the fall leaves are GoRgEoUs! although, i'll admit - i took zero pictures of the leaves! Abbie had so much fun hanging out with "gamma and gampa" (she's stopped saying "mawgee" which i'm sort of sad about, but the way she says "gamma" is cute too)

5.2 miles

a couple weeks ago i (Cami) ran a race with 2 of my brothers and we had a lot more fun than i'd anticipated. we ran the Utah marathon relay - so we each (along with my brother's sister-in-law and brother-in-law) ran 5.2 miles and passed a baton off to eachother. i had never run more than about 3 miles before, so I was sure that they'd find me collapsed off the trail somewhere around the 4th mile marker, but I actually ran the whole time (which was impressive by my standards) anyway, i have zero pictures of the event, but i have a medal to prove that i did it :)

we're going to Clark's parent's cabin this weekend so i'm sure i'll have some photos and things to post when we get home ...

shiner

Sunday night after Abbie's bath she was jumping on our bed and ended up in a fight with our headboard and you can guess who won...i took this picture with my phone so it's not real great, but this was like 10 minutes after the fightthis is the next morning - looks a lot better. she's still got a pretty good black eye and every time we go out in public I feel like people are looking at me like "dude, do you beat your child?"
