Labor Day

We spent Labor Day weekend up at the Caldwell's cabin. It was great! The weather was cool and Abbie had so much fun going for four-wheeler rides, playing on the swing set and throwing rocks in the lake. We wish we lived closer so we could get up there more often!four-wheeler ride with uncle Garett

too big too fast

My baby girl is sleeping in her new BIG GIRL bed tonight. how did this happen? how did she get to be a big girl? It is so exciting to watch her grow up and experience things, but it was bitter sweet to haul out the crib/toddler bed and haul in the twin size mattress that seems so HUGE compared to my little big girl.before bed.

after bed.
doesn't she look so small in her new bed... This sleigh bed was actually mine when I was younger

My little Dancer

Abbie started a dance class 2 weeks ago. She's in a pre-ballet/tap class and i'm pretty sure it's the highlight of her week :) I know it sounds silly, but I was such a proud mom taking her into Pat's Dancewear (where I grew up getting my ballet attire) and getting her fitted for her first ballet shoes and leotards. Her class only has 5 girls in it and they are extremely entertaining to watch ... can't wait for her recitals!Before her first day of classTip toeing around the chair
her plie (so cute!)

*I took video of her, but i am having hard time getting it uploaded to the blog - i'll try and figure it out

Long time coming....

We took a trip to the Oregon Coast last month and had such a great time. Abbie LOVED the ocean (even though it was freezing) We had a wonderful time with family, we didn't want to come home!

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
