I'm Back To Blogging

Due to popular demand and everyone commenting on how I only blogged 2 times I'm back and promise to start writing more regularly and as an added bonus I will add pictures to my post.

During the 1st week of March, Abbey got the dreaded stomach flu and it lasted for 9 days. So needless to say we did alot of laundry and I felt so bad for her. She would start to gag and I would hold her head and back while she threw up. By the way, she is the only person that I will do this for, anyone else that is sick and needs help is completely on their own.

Abbey started her "Super Beasts" class at Little Gym at the end of January and "loves" her teacher "Miss Janet". Jeff thinks this class is an entire waste of good money, but she loves to run around and do her little gymnastic tricks. She also has made some good friends in her class (her favorite is Ellie, she too is a blue eyed red head)!!!

On the 10th was Jeff''s Birthday. We went out for dinner and a Jazz/Nuggets game and my dad stayed at our house with Abbey. Abbey and I got him a cute guitar cake and we made him a "yummy" salmon dinner. Abbey loves to sing happy birthday and eat cake. Jeff even let her blow out the candles when she sang "happy birthday to Abbey".

We started going to the Lehi Pool again this month. This year Abbey is brave enough to go down all 3 slides on her own. Sometimes she will wear a life jacket, but most times she thinks she is to old for the jacket because she can go underwater now!! We took a mommy and me class in February at the Orem Rec and she still refused to float on her back.

On March 16th I went to Disney on Ice "Princess Wishes" with my friend Shauna and her 2 daughters, McKenzie and Amaya. Abbey wore her Snow White dress for awhile, but then had to take it off so she could sit in her chair and hold her own popcorn and drink. Amaya also sported her love of Cinderella and wore a "beautiful dress and crown". She looked so cute!!!


On the 22nd, we went to Discovery Museum at the Gateway and took Abbey to eat breakfast with Elmo. We had to get up way to early to do this and Jeff was not to impressed because they only had healthy breakfast food so he thought it was a waste of money. Abbey was in heaven when Elmo came out, she gave him a huge hug and a high 5. The Sesame Street exhibit of the "body" was really neat and Abbey really enjoyed it. As for Jeff, he took and early exit and headed for Starbucks!! We also went to South Town Mall and she got to visit the easter bunny for the 1st time. Later that night I had my parents over for dinner and an easter egg hunt with Abbey. My dad rang the doorbell and left her easter basket on the porch (since I had to work early on easter morning) and she ran all the way out to the sidewalk to see if she could see the easter bunny hopping away!

On Easter Sunday I worked and after we went to Jeff's parents for dinner, easter baskets and another egg hunt. After dinner McKinley, Sierra and Abbey rode the Jeep and Motorcycle in the front yard for awhile.

We got some new neighbors in February after the Bateman's moved out. Abbey will miss Courtney (her 1st babysitter) and Chloe, but in return gained a new friend Zachary. We got them to come to Little Gym with us and we have had a few playdates. The first few times we got the kids together they made each other cry quite a bit (they both have issues with toy sharing), but now things seem a little smoother as long as Abbey does not touch his 'cars.'

This sums up the month of March and I will post some pictures!!!!
