Don't Smell the Daisies

We opened our Easter Baskets yesterday. We decided to start a tradition of having a "Spring Holiday" on a day other than Easter so we can focus on the Savior more on Easter but still enjoy delectible Easter candy such as Cadbury Creme Eggs and Peeps. :)
Abi delivered the baskets this year in her "Don't Smell the Daises" outfit. If you can't read it, that is what it says on the bum.

More Cuteness

Thanks Aunt Kristen for the cute robe! She had so much fun playing in it.
Abi loves her sunglasses. She knows she looks so cute in them. I think she is grateful that she can now see when we go outside for walks.
Abi loves playing with her Daddy. She gets so excited when he comes home.
She has now found a food she doesn't like--peas. She is a pretty good sport about it though. She now enjoys rolling over--just not to get toys. Her favorite "toys" right now are the diaper wipes box (the green one), the Cetaphil lotion bottle (don't ask us why she loves it--who knows with this little one), and of course her toes. I don't know if she'll ever get tired of them. She's sitting up better and better every day. She loves looking in the mirror and she LOVES other little kids. She has a new friend at church named Molly. She jabbered to her on Sunday and they both took a couple of swings at each other.
I was at Enrichment last night and Abi was NOT happy. I didn't put it all together until I got home but she was mad that the other babies weren't playing with her. There was one baby that is several months younger and wouldn't look at Abi so Abi started to scream at her (yes, she can be a drama queen). :) Another little girl came up and handed Abi one of her toys and Abigail was SOOOO excited but then she was really sad to see the little girl walk away. We need a play group. I think a bunch of us will start one in April. She just loves other kids though and isn't afraid to grab or touch or talk to them--which is both a blessing and a curse. :) We love our Abi!

Happy Birthday Amy!




So tomorrow is my Sister-in-law Amy's birthday and I figured she would love it if I shared some pictures of her childhood :)
Too bad there wasn't any bath pictures or something embarrassing of that nature in Richard's photo Album.
5 of my favorite things about Amy are:

  • She's extremely creative and artistic

  • She is really fun to talk to and it is almost impossible to stop

  • She does little things that really show how much she cares about others

  • She really is the life of any party

  • She is really intelligent and loves to learn new things and share what she's learned with others.
Anyway, the list could go on and on (everyone please feel free to add to it). Happy Birthday Sis! We all wish you were here but are happy that you are enjoying Missouri.

Thanks Cousin Nora!





I got some way fun pictures of Abi in her dress that Cousin Nora gave us at our baby shower. The pictures don't do the dress justice but I just love these pictures of Abi!

Richard's a Smore

If you think this is an accurate description of Richard, please say so on the right!





You Are Smores



Unusual and unconventional, you make your strange ways work for you.

You've got personality - no one's denying that!
