Hrm, Looks like Abby is really relaxed — just hanging out in the grass…
I think I’ll tickle her…
TICKLE TICKLE TICKLE!!!!
And then… Poke her in the eye! Yes! LOL
When the girls woke up I told them it was Jamey’s birthday. Hannah started singing. Abby was interested in the type of party he was going to have. Well, Um… sigh. So, I figured I had to come up with something! It ended up being a very cute evening. I think everyone was happy.
We opened presents. We got Jamey two umbrellas to go by his grill. We don’t have ANY shade in our backyard. So I think he was pretty happy! Guess which one Abby picked out?
We sang Happy Birthday.
<I’ll try to get this video up ASAP. Check back soon.>
We ate “cake”.
The girls were pleased that I made the icing
Oh! And we made a sign and had some streamers too!
Abby and Hannah really love the back yard. They run and swing and chase and play kickball! Just an all around great time! Be sure to look carefully at the pics below! At first Abby attempts to run and kick the ball. Her foot gets stuck on top and she totally wipes out! She does get up and give it another try — and boots the thing right over the fence!! LOL!!!
Well, Daddy came home. He just couldn’t believe I didn’t TEACH the girls to slide! So he came out to give it a shot. He put them on their bellies and gave them a tug and down they went!
But they still weren’t quite getting it :/ This is the part where I have to tell you about the AWESOME man that I married. Yes, yes. He did it! He changed his clothes, came back out, threw caution (and his 30+ year old body) to the wind. And dove!!!!!
Some day, many MANY years from now. When the girls look back through their pictures. I hope this is how they remember their daddy. He would do just anything for them. And he had a BLAST doing it! What an great daddy!!!
Unfortunately, after all of that, they still didn’t really get it. Abby got a bit better – but I think having daddy throw you down the slip n slide is just much more fun
And sometimes – it’s just kinda fun to play in the pool with Buzz and Woody!
We were having some really bad storms at nap time. I walked into Abby’s room to see how she was doing. She was sitting in her big pink chair just watching the storm. I told her that her daddy loves to watch storms too! When I went in to wake her up from nap – she was sleeping in the chair!!!
But my picture taking woke her up.
For about 2 seconds
Abby’s room is done! Woo Hoo!!! I was so tired of tripping over shelves and climbing over dolls! LOVE that this is done!!

After:
I’m just holding her curtains back with a ribbon right now. I will find a more permanent solution soon.
Yes! She is in desperate need of MORE animals. Please please, send us all you’ve got :/
***NEW ART ALERT*** I Just couldn’t pass this one up! I thought it screamed Abby and matched her room perfectly! The flowers have glitter and jewels on them. If you look closely you can see I haven’t taken the corners off of it yet. I’ll do that soon
