April & May Happenings

We are still going to Little Gym Every week and Abbey gets excited every time we go. She loves her teacher "Miss Janet" and has made some cute little friends. Her favorite friend is 'Ellie, they play so well together and they both have the exact same color of hair.

Life is not complete for Abbey unless we hit the "All Famous," chuch e cheez, as Abbey would say. We have been here a couple times this past month, but it's more for the games & rides than the food. The food is way disgusting so if you plan on going here, eat before or go somewhere afterwards!!

Here is Abbey sporting her new Dora big wheel we bought her last month!!

We also bought Abbey a new playhouse/swing set for our backyard. These pictures are taken the day we removed the sod..

This was taken by the all popular "Abbey". She has a new found love for our camera and every time we get it out she has to take at least 20 pictures.

Here are some pictures from my uncle Cliff's funeral on April 23rd. He died of cancer on April 19th, (which which would have been my grandpa's 100th birthday if he was still alive).

Here is a picture at dinner (after the funeral) of my niece Zoe. She is so cute and I wish I got to see her more often!! I can't believe she will soon be a year old.

I will finish the update of May in my next post and try to keep up to date. I have been training at work and haven't had any free time to do my "stuff" and I never have any free time when Abbey is around!!!!

San Francisco

Jeff, Abbey and I went to San Francisco April 25- 29th. Abbey was really good on the airplane, it was not until we got to the airport in San Francisco that she decided to have a meltdown on the floor just outside the terminal. She wanted to stay at the gate and play on the little playground.

Once we got our rental car, we began to look for a place to eat lunch. We drove downtown and when Jeff spotted the first Roundtable Pizza he failed to look if anyone was behind him as he crossed two lanes of traffic and almost caused an accident, needless to say the guy behind us was a little surprised. We opted for Joe's Crab Shack at Pier 39 since we could not find a parking spot near the pizza place. After lunch we headed for the Golden Gate Bridge. We stopped at the Presidio and then headed to Baker Beach for the rest of the afternoon.



Here is a picture of Abbey after a long hot day at the beach. She was so tired she didn't even finish her dinner.



On Sunday we headed for San Jose to see Jeff''s grandma (Dorothy). We spent the early morning with her and Vossy (her caretaker). Grandma Dot wanted us to take her to lunch so we all piled in the car and headed to the little diner that she eats at every day. Inside grandma Dot's house she still has the original shag carpet and this funky round couch. Abbey took an interest in all her instruments, especially her piano.



After we left Grandma Dorothy's house we headed to Great America for the rest of the day. Abbey loved this place, the highlights included: Spongebob, Patrick, & Dora the Explorer. She is still talking about her day at Great America and I can't wait to take her back. It was so fun to watch how excited she got over everything.



We spent quite a bit of time at Pier 39.
