Week in Review

Our past week was full of FUN. (lots of pictures - beware)

Memorial Day: We traveled up to Logan to visit Grandpa Great on the farm and the Cemeteries to put flowers on the grave ... and of course have lunch at Fredricos and ice cream at Aggies! It was such a great day - we had a nice visit with Grandpa Great and Abbie was in heaven in the chicken coop with the chickens and bunnies .. this girl was born to live on a farm :) she even found a stray cat that she wasn't afraid to pick up (mama wasn't super excited about this)(4 generations!)


after a great day in Logan we had a nice hot dog/smores fire in the backyard! so much fun. we're just sad that Dad had to work all day...
Thursday/Friday: Clark had 2 days in a row off of work (never happens) so we ran for the hills. We went up to Clark's parent's cabin in Scofield and had such a great time with our little family. Abbie had her first fishing experience with her daddy - it was definitely a highlight! Abbie kept putting her arms around both Clark and me and saying "my family" ... loved it.We also got to meet Abbie's new cousin Rozlyn - she is A DOLL. Abbie adores her and talks about baby Rozy all the time now!
Saturday: Abbie and I ventured down to Orem to check out the Bijou Market and it was fabulous! I found some fun little treasures and if nothing else got some great ideas for some crafty things to try out. Then later in the afternoon we spent an hour at the pool - Abbie is a fish. We are definitely going to be spending a majority of our summer in the pool!

Sunday: We spent the afternoon in Springville with Clark's family - Abbie adores her cousins and had so much fun chasing and playing.

We had a busy week, but so much fun - it was nice to have a little get-away, we need to do it more often

One wise 2 year old

I have to share this hilarious story because it's too cute to forget ...

Yesterday Abbie and I were out running some errands and we had this conversation:

me: "Abbie you are so smart"
abs: "ya"
me: "where is your brain Abbie"
abbie points to her forehead
me: "you are right! inside your head"
abs: "ya"
pause
abs: "mom, girls have brains"
me: "you're right abbie, girls have brains"
pause
abs: "mom, boys not have brains"
laughter

need i say more?

bedtime laughter

Tonight when i put Abbie to bed we were reading a story and i was having her point out all of the animals on the page. At first she would point to the right animal, but eventually she started pointing to the wrong animals and i would say "no, silly - that's a (insert correct animal here)" and she would start laughing hysterically (which in turn made me laugh hard) - we did this over and over until our stomachs hurt from laughter. She is such a doll - i LOVE when she sincerely and genuinely laughs at something - i think it's precious. I hope her laugh always stays the same, it's one of my favorite things about her!
