Fun at the park!

I look so cool in my sunglasses!The bark at the park seemed to be the main attraction!

Playing ball!

Going down the slide

I love going down the slide with mommy!

Fun around the house

Abby has gotten quite good at going up the stairs, it's going down that is the challenge. She always wants to turn around and go head first!

One morning as Jason was getting ready to leave for work, Abby went over to the pile of unfolded laundry (don't judge, I know I'm not the only one). She picked up another pair of her pajamas and handed it to Jason like she does with a jacket. Here she is modeling the "Jacket" that Jason helped her put on. She was pretty disappointed though when he left without her. She thought, "I'm ready to go, don't forget me"

And, here is Abby's first pasta sauce face picture. Gotta love it!

Easter Dress, Pigtails and a Tantrum!

My sweet little munchkin looked so adorable in her Easter Dress!
And, this is the first time she had pigtails!! I was so excited that she finally had enough hair for little ponytails!! It is so strange though, with pigtails she doesn't look like my little baby anymore. She looks like such a big girl!

Happy Girl....

Happy Girl....

Ready?

Wait for it...

TANTRUM!!

Unfortunately as Abby gets older, these become a more common occurrence. In this picture she was mad at me because she wanted to hold the camera.

Easter Pics!

Finally! Here are some Easter Pictures!

First, we have the view from our back window Easter Morning. Nothing says Spring like a nice blanket of snow (It is hard when I am typing really show the sarcasm in that). Luckily, it melted pretty fast. It was still a chilly day. Good thing Abby is too young still to want to hunt for Easter Eggs.

Abby and her Easter Basket. As i've said before, she loves Elmo and especially loves this Elmo toy and an Elmo video the Easter Bunny brought her.

"Mom, can I watch this NOW!"

Happy Easter!

And lastly, Jason thought he would take a picture of me working on deviled eggs. It's not fabulous but I thought I would share it with you all. By the way, we learned the hard way that you can't hide the taste of yucky low fat mayo in deviled eggs. We usually use mayo made with olive oil which is lower fat and tastes pretty good. I decided to try out some low fat mayo to see if we could make that switch (for Abby) and it just isn't going to work. It's okay though. The one with Olive Oil is still much better for you than regular mayo.

Yes, I did take Easter pictures but I haven't put them on the computer yet so they will be on here later. In the meanwhile, I have several pictures that I have been meaning to post for awhile so here they are. There were too many to put in one post so you will also have to check out the next two.

Abby is so happy when her daddy comes home from work!

Trying to read the grown up books.

We call this her shopping cart. Whenever I am about to fold laundry, she comes over and empties this basket. She then pushes it around the house and puts things in it as she goes.

"Daddy gave me an entire tortilla and I actually succeeded at eating some of it!"

So while I don't have the Easter pics up yet, I do have to say how much I love Easter and the chance to celebrate the Resurrection of our Savior! It was such a blessing to be able to hear our Prophet and others called of God to speak to us on Easter weekend. I don't ever remember Easter landing on Conference weekend before but it was wonderful!! Jason and I were talking about how Easter is one of those holidays that is so important yet the true meaning is so often forgotten. Hopefully over the years we will be able to develop holiday traditions that will teach our children the importance of the Savior and the Atonement. I thought we could not give our children Easter baskets until after we were home from church but Jase didn't like that idea. Oh well, I have another year to come up with something. We hope that all of you also had a wonderful holiday. Abby will be wearing her Easter dress next Sunday so there are still more Easter pics to take!

We had some time to kill before church one day so there are a ton of pictures of Abby in her dress. She loves to read and look at books! And, as always, she loves to try to touch the camera.

Even though it has been a few months now, I still can't believe my baby is walking!

Unfortunately, just as I turned off my camera, Abby took off her hair bow and was trying to put it on Jason. Once I turned the camera back on though, she stopped.

Mom, read me a story!

Waiting to go to church Abby loves her snacks, especially when they are in one of these cups
Watching tv intently

Happy Abby
