The BEST dad in the entire world
On Friday June, 13, we celebrated Father's Day at my mom & dad's house. I felt bad because my dad was not feeling to great and didn't feel like eating with us. We BBQ'ed and the girls had fun jumping on the trampoline. We got dad a convertible upgrade DVD player and power cord. Jeff set it all up for him and it was amazing the difference in the picture quality on his new flat screen tv. Corrie brought Jeremy (her boyfriend and his 2 daughters Spring & Summer. We had a fun night and Abbey enjoyed playing with the girls. As we drove home, we barely made it to Peteetneet (school) and Abbey was fast asleep!
Happy Father's Day Dad!! Your the greatest dad ever and I appreciate all that you do for me, Jeff & Abbey. We love you!!!!

Visit from Aunt Maureen & Uncle Mike












Uncle Mike & Aunt Maureen (Lynette's Sister) came from San Jose to visit for a week (June 11- 17). We spent the night of the 12th at Grandma Eliason's house and had dinner. After the kids went home Kelly broke out her sleepover party book and needless to say Maureen, Lynette, Kelly & I had some pretty good laughs. Abbey spent part of the night showing off her gymnastics stunts with McKinley and taking pictures of anything and everything. We had a fun time and the kids had fun playing with all the dogs.

A Day Out With Sierra

After Little Gym last week we met up with Aunt Kelly, Sierra & McKinley at Carl's Jr. After we were done Sierra wanted to have a play date with Abbey at our house.






They played dolls in Abbey's toyroom, rode in the Jeep in the backyard, jumped on the trampoline, played the keyboard in Jeff's music room and sang their little hearts out, and to top off the afternoon we filled the pool (using hot water from the washer, it was a little cold that day) and they swam for a couple of hours. They ended the night at the neighbor's house jumping in the ball pit.

Little Gym Graduation

On June 5th, Abbey graduated from her "Super Beasts" class at Little Gym. In this class she learned the balance beam, monkey jumps, donkey kicks, sommersaults, & several different bar exercises. Her teacher this semester was "Miss Janet".

Thomas the Train

On May 22nd, we went with our neighbor's Tiffany and Zach to Heber to see Thomas the Train. Both Zach & Abbey got a tattoo on their face and hand. They each wanted a huge helium filled Thomas ballon that ended up filling my car to capacity as we drove home. I could barely see out the back window. It started out as a rainy day, but ended up being really nice once we got there. We also met up with Kathleen & Hamilton (friends from Little Gym) and ate dinner wtih them at Dairy Keen.









Abbey has found a love for singing while her dad plays the guitar, however it has to be the songs of her choice, "Going to the Zoo" & music from her "Disney Princess CD".





Playing in the Jeep with McKenna


Visit with Cousin Ethan

Patrick, Julie & Ethan came to Utah during the 1st week of May. Abbey spent a fair amount of time playing with him at Grandma & Grandpa Stevenson's.


We had Corrie & Jeremy over for a BBQ at our house. They brought the girls, Spring & Summer over to play with Abbey on her new playset.




A couple of weeks ago Abbey was playing with Chance and riding in her coupe car. Chance told Abbey to get out and she basically told him to wait his turn and he in turn bit her on the cheek.

After this happened to her she did not want to hang around him for several days. It is hard to see in the picture, but you could actually see all of his teeth.
