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.

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!

We just spent a fabulous week on the Oregon Coast ...

Happy Birthday to this handsome guy this weekend!We are headed up to the cabin to celebrate - can't wait!
