Kids say interesting things

Last Sunday, Abby actually stayed in nursery. She cried....but she stayed. When I went to pick her up, she came right up to me and said "Mom, I cried at the door" I told her, I know I heard you....she replied to that by saying...." I was freakin' out Mom", all of the nursery leaders had a good laugh at that. I was of course embarrassed because she knows that word, never the less it was funny that she said that. Gotta love kids and their funny personalities.

Waking up to humor

For the last month or so, Abigail has been waking up around 6:30 a.m. to come climb into bed with Mom & Dad. This morning was no different, she climbed up, snuggled in and fell right back to sleep. Steve gets up around 7:15 to start getting ready to be at work by 8:00....I heard him get up and start to get going on breakfast, no sooner was Abby sitting up to say "what's the noise?" I played a little with her and said, I don't know. She got wide eyed and said "Mommy, there is someone in our kitchen eating our cereal!" I continued by saying "uh oh, you'd better go see who it is" She responded by saying "I'm a big tiger and I'm going to get them" I laughed, she climbed out of the bed, and tip toed into the living room and then I heard a big growl....and then a BOO! She wanted to sneak up on the culprit who was eating our cereal in our house.

Giving Grandpa 4E a run for his money!

While we were visiting Grandma and Grandpa Forrey last week, Grandma and I went to the gym for a workout while leaving Abby home with Grandpa. Grandpa put a movie on for Abs like she asked him to and attended to some business he had in his office which is pretty much connected to the room Abs was in. Well I am sure you can guess that it got pretty quiet. Grandpa called out to Abby to see what she was up to and there was no response. He then got up to call for her again and she yelled back, "I'm up here" He walked upstairs and I think the story goes that she didn't have any clothes on and had a poopybum. He went up to help her and found the poopy diaper with another one next to it also poopy. She had gotten the wipes out and tried to change her own diaper! HA! What a kick! Grandpa had a good laugh about it when we got home, but I am sure he wasn't laughing when he was cleaning up all the poop! Thanks Grandpa for taking such great care of our Abigail! WE LOVE YOU!

Oregon Trip 2008

Abby and I were fortunate enough to take a trip to Oregon for the last 2 weeks. My Aunt Myra had some business to take care of really close to where Steve's family lives so we hitched a ride with her in her Cadillac (it was really nice to travel in) Thanks Aunt Myra! I am just going to post a bunch of fun pictures and video of things we did...I don't want to bore you with words, I know everyone just wants to see the pictures so here they are! By the way, the videos are long.....so you don't really have to watch the whole thing...I won't feel bad! I won't even know....HA! ENJOY!

You will want to start at the bottom.....Abby's birthday is the first post of this series

Here is video of the Zoo. We got to see the new baby elephant that was born a few weeks ago. It was really neat to see that little guy with his Mommy.

Oregon 2008

Here is noodle the day we arrived home. She was SOOOO Happy just to be home and in her own space to do with whatever she wanted. It is always nice to vacation but even better when you get to be home.

Here are 2 pictures of the coast. The last day we drove up part of the coast. Here is a picture of a lighthouse at Cape Meares and some rocks. Steve tells me this is some scenery from the movie Goonies! Very FUN!
We Stopped for creamsicle smoothies
Here is a shot of Silver Falls....YES! This is the place that part of Twilight was filmed.






Onto a girls day out with Grandma to the Carousel. We all got the ride the Carousel twice and make a souvenir penny and choose a lollipop from the gift shop. Thanks Grandma Forrey!






We started off the week on Monday with a combined birthday party for Abby's cousins Maci & Naomi. What a fun day! We had a BBQ for lunch and then cake and ice cream. Aunt Beth made a fabulous princess cake with towers and everything. Way to go BETH! The kids decorated the castle grounds by decorating their own cupcakes and putting them around the cake. It was very cute.

Oregon Trip 2008

Here is Abby in Pacific City on the Oregon Coast. We were lucky enough to tag along for a youth activity that Grandma & Grandpa Forrey attended. We had so much fun climbing the sand hill. I climbed the whole thing with Grandma and Abby nearly climbed half with Grandpa, she only stopped because she was thirsty, so Grandpa took her all the way down again to get a drink and she wanted to start climbing again because she wanted to get her Mommy. We got to see a live starfish and it was Abby's first trip to the ocean so I had a good time just watching her have fun. Thanks for a great day at the beach G & G 4E!

Happy Birthday Steve!

We missed Steve's Birthday because we were in Oregon with his family but Happy REALLY late birthday STEVE! We Love You and are thankful for everything that you do for our little family.
