Look Who's THREE!!!

Happy birthday little girl.

Abby has had one parent at home with her for two of her three birthdays.  She's getting used to the monkey business, but we're not.  Here's some pictures of her birthday party at Old Pueblo Gymnastics.  Needless to say she was worn out.  Thanks to everyone for all you did for her on her big day!

A good shot of the crocodile bouncy castle.  It took the kidos a while to warm up to him.  Look at those teeth!!
  Abby needed a little coaxing to get the party started.  She had never really seen most of the equipment, but like most things figured it out pretty quick.




Where was the entire runway of trampoline that ended in a foam pit when I was a kid????  Abby spent most of the party up and down this trampoline and in and out of the foam pit at the end!!

 Then it was like someone flipped a switch...they all climbed in the bouncy castle at the same time. 

 The whole group (minus the Dean girls that left early)! Four friends from "school" and seven little ones we know through the squadron.
 Time to eat!

Daddy's Home Again!

First of all, I apologize for not making a post in so long.  We have so many new things to report from our little world...daddy's home, Abby's new bed, a lot fewer diapers around here, upcoming birthday party, and looking forward to a new classroom at "school".

We are so excited to have daddy home again!  We took some leave to get reacquainted and get some yard/house improvements made...including planting some palm trees by the pool.  They look great!

Abigail has been enjoying a week's worth of good night's sleep in her new "big girl bed".  She tells people, "It's my day bed.".  Before we left Uglyhoma, we took advantage of the wood shop on-base and built her a crib with a convertible option...just pop off one of the crib rails and slap on the day bed rail.  Presto - big girl bed.

She's doing good with potty training. We're not 100% yet, but she has the concept down.  Now to get her to be consistent.  It would probably help to have some more consistent parents!  We're really proud of her progress though and can't wait to bypass the diaper isle at Target once and for all. 

Okay enough blabbing.  Here's some recent pictures of the princess!

I'd say Max has become a part of the family!

 Abby Rose loading up her newest "weapon"...squirt gun!!!


Shooting daddy in the pool!  She's a warrior!

 Getting used to her new water wings.  She figured out fast that she doesn't need help anymore!

Havin' fun! 



The secret to potty training...put the potty in the living room so she can't miss it and hand her an information pamphlet.  So funny.


New big girl bed!
 Perfect fit!
 Mastered the water wings!
 Look at me...I'm a fish!



 A nice swim at sunset.

...And Then There Were Two!


Max is here!  Hard to tell them apart, huh?  He's a real sweet boy and Maggie and Abby love him!  More pictures soon!

Summer Haircut!







Adventure With Mom

1200 miles in a car with a two year old...not recommended!  Abby was a super trooper through it all...four different rooms (a.k.a. "new houses") in a month, new babysitter, crazy hours.  She really did great and made this TDY possible.  There were some perks - having Grams as a nanny for 10 days, seeing Uncle Bob and Aunt Sharon, cousins Jen, Jeff, Lilly, and Camille, Uncle Rodney and Aunt Mary...I think her first trip to the Ark-La-Tex was a success.  The only thing missing was daddy.  We miss you so much darlin'.  Can't wait to be together again.

Three little girls and a big hog!  Abby with her cousins Lilly and Camille at Barksdale AFB, LA.  (Yes, it was her idea for Capri pants and cowboy boots:-)


Abby with her Uncle Rodney at the lake house in Walker's Creek, Arkansas.


She wouldn't sit still for a picture with Aunt Mary, so this was the best we could do.  BTW, she was asleep about 5 min after this picture!

 The girl outside our 4th home in a month!  She looks so old in this picture.


On her favorite turtle at the carousel in Bossier City.


A special treat from cousin Jennifer - pink and purple toe nails!


Lilly tearing it up on the soccer field!


Way to go Lils!

Abby having fun at Grams' house for Easter...bubbles!!!



On the hunt!
