Just Relaxin'

After a long day of shopping and playing soccer, Abigail decided last night that she needed to unwind while watching "Go Diego Go" before bed time.

Swimming, Swimming, Swimming

I LOVE to swim!!! My favorite thing do in the pool is to jump into it. Sometimes I count to three and sometimes I just jump in (mainly to make sure Mommy and Daddy are paying attention). I also like to play "Queen of the Nile" on the raft. Today I started my new favorite thing...Swimming by myself!!! Actually it is doggy paddling, but I like to think I'm swimming. Mommy took some pictures of me swimming back and forth in the spa.

Abigail is half way through her first session of soccer and loving every moment of it! Everyone keeps asking me to post pictures, but up until last night I was unable to get any. Usually I'm there by myself. However, last night Jeromy was able to come for the entire class. Then, my sister Kelly, Mom, nephew Alex, cousin-in-law (almost) Jen, and her girls (Hannah, Myriah, and Aubrey) showed up. So today I was able to get some pictures. We're really excited because little cousin Aubrey seemed to be warming up to it as time went by so she might be joining us in the fall!

Here are the pictures of the craziness!

Stretching during warm-ups

Touching her toes during warm-ups

Playing "Red Light, Green Light" - One of her favorite things of the night.

Confused by the yellow light.

Stacking cones so she can kick them over.

Bouncing on a squishy ball - another favorite thing.

Playing with the parachute - This is right up there with "Red Light, Green Light"

Going for a ride (which means the kids sit on the parachute while the parents hold on to it and run around)

Bananas Make Wonderful Tiaras!

Every morning Abs thinks it is a good idea to smear bananas into her hair. This usually means a bath or a good wipe down and lots of coming and brushing later to get the dried banana out. This morning she thought she would step it up a little bit. She took banana and smooshed it into her hair. I think she wanted to make sure it wouldn't fall out. :)

Shortly after this picture was taken Abs decided it was missing something and added a few cheerios into her headpiece.

Yummy!!! Pickles and Yogurt!!!

We are on vacation this week (check out Mommy's blog for details). Mommy is posting most of the info and pictures on her blog, but I wanted to put stuff on my blog as well. I decided on a couple pictures from today at lunch.

Here I am eating a pickle. I refused to eat my PB&J sandwich and would only eat pickles. I probably ate 5 before Mommy told me they were all gone.


Mommy thought that I needed something else to eat, so she tried to feed me some yogurt. I would have nothing of that and insisted that I feed myself. She finally gave up (as I knew she would) and I was able to eat my yogurt on my own. It was kind of messy, but very yummy!

I Keep Getting in Trouble for This...

Decorating Easter Eggs for the First Time!

We actually decorated eggs on Good Friday, but Mommy says that blogger wasn't cooperating. I'm not really sure what to make of this. I'll let you know more next year when hopefully I'll understand it better.

Easter Sunday 2010

This morning started with a lot of strange happenings! My Mommy came upstairs to get me when I woke up and when we came down my Daddy was standing there waiting to take pictures. That was weird because Mommy really doesn't like to get her picture taken in her pjs. Anyways, next thing I know they are asking me to hunt for the eggs we colored the other day (oops, I just remembered that blogger wasn't working the other day, so I will post about that next). It was a lot of fun! Mommy and Daddy were surprised by how well I did it! Here are a couple pictures Daddy took of me hunting eggs:





Next, Mommy showed me my Easter basket full of gifts from the Easter bunny! I got a new book about the true meaning of Easter, a Handy Manny book!, three coloring books, a bowling set, and "The Princess and the Frog" dvd! It was all really cool!





After all that, we got ready for church! My dress was really pretty, but I was not happy that Mommy wanted me to stand still to take a picture to send to my Grandmas.


After church we went over to Grandma's house for Easter dinner with the family! It is always a big gathering! This year Aunt Julie and Future-Uncle Lee "hid" eggs for all of us kids to find. Mommy took some pictures of the festivities.

This is my cousin Aubrey! I think she looks cool in her sunglasses! Mommy says I have a pair too, but I won't let her put them on me.


Mommy says I was trying to be too cool when she took this picture. (I don't know what that means.)








I had a great day and really loved looking for eggs! I can't wait for next year so I can do it again!

My New Outside Toys!!!

Mommy and Daddy decided that I needed some toys for outside this summer. I guess they needed help keeping me busy and out of trouble. So, today they went to Toys R Us and bought me a new slide and a sand/water table. They haven't put the sand or the water in the table yet, but I loved playing with it anyways.

Getting ready to go down the slide. Mommy says we will move it to the backyard when it gets nice out on a consistent basis. For right now, we are keeping it in the garage and pulling it out when I want to play on it.


I'm so cool!


I can't wait until Mommy and Daddy put water and sand in my table!

A BEAUTIFUL Day!!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Today was a beautiful day! Mommy and I started off the day by running errands. After we got home and I took a nap, we went outside and played. Well, I played while Mommy cleaned the outside of the windows on the back of the house. She says she can't wait until the screens are in and we can air out the house. Here are some pictures of our day outside (of course, Mommy didn't get any pictures of me eating the rocks...she was not happy):







This picture was taken during dinner. Daddy had just yelled at me for throwing my food on the floor and I was giving him the look. Mommy was actually trying to get a picture of my hairdo (a mixture of food, slobber, and snot).

I Love to Read!!!

I LOVE to read! I'm always reading or asking someone to read something to me! It's almost as fun as climbing up and down the stairs...almost.

Mommy tried to take my picture while I was reading, but I shut the book instead.


But, she caught me anyways a few seconds later.

Watching TV in My New Favorite Chair

Mommy bought me and Landon matching chairs at Kohl's for our trip to the beach in May. They have Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on them. She was going to get me one with the Disney princesses on it, but I wouldn't have any of that. I wanted Mickey Mouse. Then, when we got home, she put the chair upstairs in the spare room. I found it one day and whined until she brought it downstairs. Now, it is my favorite chair to watch tv in. One day when Daddy and I were watching tv, I moved the chair right in front of the tv so I wouldn't miss a thing.



I caught Daddy when he tried to take a second picture.

First Trip to the Zoo for 2010!!!

The weather today is beautiful! According to the temperature gauge in my car it is almost 60 degrees! The sun is shining and it is just wonderful!!! To celebrate this beautiful spring weather Jeromy, Abs, and I went to the Toledo Zoo to meet Laura and Landon. Here are some pictures from our fun-filled day:



They were watching the polar bear in this picture.




Looking at the birds in the aviary








Abigail enjoyed her first peanut butter and jelly sandwich




As usual, she found something to push around.


There were ducks everywhere! Landon and Abigail were just as impressed by them then any of the animals at the zoo!
