What I've Been up to Lately...

Went to the farm for the fist time and loved everyone minute of it...



Dressed myself in this beautiful outfit with pants entirely too tight and shoes on the wrong feet...

Bathed in a bucket in the bathtub...

Played outside in the sprinkler in very hot April weather...


Played with Daddy before bed...

Dug in some dirt...

Had a snack and played outside after school...



Relaxed and watched the Lion King...

Easter Weekend

Like most families, our weekend was spent stuffing our faces with great food, eating way too many chocolate bunnies, and hunting Easter eggs. We spent some time with family and friends and just enjoyed the great weather.

Abby went and saw the Easter bunny the weekend before. Unlike with Santa, she was a little cautious at first, but was not completely terrified. We snapped a few pictures before we left...


Smelling the flowers



It's not Easter unless you dye eggs. Please excuse her outfit- she dressed herself and I'm just too pregnant to care these days. It's a Target bathing suit with a matching ruffle skirt and hot pink shoes.



We had an Easter Egg hunt at Grams' and Gramps' house on Saturday morning. Abby chowed down on some Easter candy while hunting for eggs.




We woke up on Sunday morning to see what the Easter Bunny left for us! Abby loves her new glitter shoes and Abby Cadabby socks!





We headed to church around 10. Abby did really well at church. We sat in the back and pulled out endless amounts of "quiet" activities for her to play with, as well as, some pretzels and a few suckers. At about the 45 minute mark she was starting to get a little restless. We didn't want to press our luck, especially in a packed church, so we slid out the back door and headed to Grandmommy and Pawpaw's house for another egg hunt.







"I found one!"

After brunch with Grandma, Grandad and more family, we headed to my Grandma's house for house for more food and play time. Abby had a great Easter!

Here is a look back at Abby's 1st and 2nd Easters!



She seemed so big to me last year. I cannot believe how quick she is growing up!

Abby goes to the zoo

We took Abby to the zoo on Saturday morning because the weather was gorgeous! Her favorite exhibit by far is the farm animals-especially the donkey. Brandon and I were laughing that out of all the really cool animals to see, we spent most of our time looking at the one lonely donkey. We did get to feed a giraffe while we there which was really cool. Abby loved it, but did not want to hold a piece of lettuce by herself.










Time for lunch-at an entire slice of Pizza from Memphis Pizza Cafe!

Spring Break

For spring break we had a "staycation" and played right here in town. Abby had been sick the week before, so once spring break kicked in we had a packed schedule of play dates, ice cream, playgrounds, indoor swimming, swinging, sliding, painting, and lots of flower bed watering.










All dressed and ready for ballet--didn't realize they had cancelled for spring break, so we went and had lunch with Daddy instead...

Brandon and I realized at lunch that he proposed 5 years ago to the day-- March 15th, 2007. 5 years later, we are quickly eating our lunch with our 2 year old that is covered in ice cream and cheese dip waiting for the arrival our 2nd baby in about 8 weeks!

Abby kissing, Buck, our neighbors dog. We walk to see him probably 3 times a day. They love each other!

We had a fun spring break!
