Easter

We had such a fun Easter with Adam's family. Kayann and her kids came down and we were able to spend some time with them. They are a wonderful family and we enjoy every minute we get to spend with them. We all went to the Hoover Dam and went on the Dam Tour and had a fun time.

Abbie loved having so many people to play with. She thought she was in heaven. I am sure this summer will be a ball for her because she gets to see both sides of the family within a week of each other.

The Easter Egg Hunt was the most anticipated moment of the weekend. I mean who doesn't love Candy!!!!!

Life...............

Sometimes I get so frustrated with life. My biggest desire is to be able to stay home with my little girl Abigail and have not been able to yet. Adam is in school getting his Master's and we hope this will help in the job search.
I need to look on the bright side of things and realize that he only has a year left in school and I know that we will be blessed with a job.
Having to go to work has made me learn two things: 1. Patience and 2. My husband is awesome.
I have come to realize that the Lord blesses us according to His timetable, not necessarily according to our own.
Having to work has made me yearn to be a stay at home mom. I look forward to the day when I will get that opportunity.

I HATE CROUP!!!!

I just wanted the world to know how much I hate croup. What is croup you might ask? Croup is the inflammation of the larynx and trachea, associated with infection and causing breathing difficulties. My poor girl has been to the emergency room twice and has been miserable all this past week!! Just wanted to the world to know and now you do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE CROUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Many faces of Abigail

Our daughter is a little like me in the facial expression department. It's seriously so funny watching her every day. She comes up with more all the time.

Christmas in Utah

I loved being home in Utah for Christmas. I love snow during the holiday season. It is one of the things I miss the most living in Henderson.We had my mom and dad to ourselves for Christmas and enjoyed every moment of it.

We rode the train down to Salt Lake City and went to temple square to see the lights.

We played in the snow.

We ate wonderful food, we laughed, and we got to see Brant and his family. We got wonderful thoughtful gifts from family members.

Abbie loved her xylophone and lion she received from us. Both of her grandparents spoiled her.

It seems.....

It seems like every time I turn around 2 months have passed and I haven't written here at all. So I will do a quick update.

Abbie is growing like a weed. She is full of spunk and loves to blow kisses to everyone. She has start saying a few words and loves to use her sign language when it comes to food. SHE LOVES HER FOOD.

Adam is back in school getting his master's in Civil Engineering. He enjoys it. He was getting down on himself before because the job search wasn't going to well due to the economy. He is a wonderful dad and husband.

Me, well, still working.... wishing and hoping for the day I get to be a stay at home mom. I know that day will come. We all have our different trials in life and this just happens to be one of mine. (just a note: Abbie was painting in the pictures with Adam and I; it's not war paint)

We are happy and know that the Lord is watching over us daily.

It's been ages-ABBIE's Birthday Party

ABBIE's BIRTHDAY!!!

Our Abbie turned one on October 19th and she had such a fun birthday party.

Things I love about my girl:

1. She is a giggle box

2. She loves to talk (although you can't understand a thing she will go on for ages)

3. She has endless energy.

4. She runs everywhere, no walking.

5. She lives kisses and hugs

6. She is just a wonderful fun baby to be around.

I am so blessed to be her mom and am grateful for the peacefulness and love she has brought into our home.
