Dum-Dum's

My cousin who watches Abby for me during the day just sent me this picture with the caption, "I don't know where she keeps getting the suckers from". This just made me laugh! Abby LOVES dum-dum's and to help her with her potty training we bought a large bag of them and put some in her diaper bag for when she goes to the bathroom. Well apparently she found them in her diaper bag and has been going a little crazy. What a silly girl!

Too Much Snow (part 2)

This morning we woke up to another big snow storm. It's funny cause when we got to work (about 30 miles north) they got no snow at all, guess it decided to drop everything right on us! We spent the morning shoveling (well Matt shoveled and I tried to help as much as possible without going into labor 5 weeks early) and even Abby helped out, what a cutie! It's supposed to snow tomorrow and the next day so I think it's safe to say we are ready for spring!

Spending a little time with family...

Yesterday (Sunday, January 20th) my siblings and I went up to Salt Lake City to spend the afternoon/evening with my aunt Cathy and her two cute kids Riley and Scotty. We don't get to spend nearly as much time with them as we would like so any opportunity we have to hang out we do. We met up for a late lunch at this really good Mexican restaurant in Sandy and then after went to my aunt's house to just relax.

We ended up going to my uncle Paul's new house to get the grand tour and after seeing the HUGE tub he had Abby decided she had to take a bath, lol, silly girl!

What a silly and cute little girl!

My Big Girl!

Well it's that time, time to say goodbye to crib...

And hello to big girl bed...

My cousin Amanda gave us this super cute big girl bed (which my sister and I painted on Saturday) and Abby loved it right away. We had her helping us paint it and get it all ready and when it finally dried Abby was ecstatic to finally touch it, lol. Abby helped me take down her crib, vacuum underneath it (who knew it could get so dirty under a crib?!) and then finally we had dad bring her bed into her room where we put all her stuffed animals on it and got it looking cute! Abby took her first nap on it yesterday and I was quite surprised by how well she stayed on the bed. Last night I was all ready for her to freak out and not want to sleep in her bed but after about five minute of cuddling I told her I was going to go to bed and would see her in the morning and she did just fine. I know I really lucked out with Abby cause she is such a good girl. So proud of my big girl!

Weeks 30, 31, 32, & 33!

I can't believe I am already 33 weeks along! Only 7 more weeks until little Liam joins our family and we can't wait! I am definitely feeling bigger and bigger which each passing day but I know it is so worth it. We are busy trying to get things ready for little Liam. We can't wait to meet you baby boy!

They are so good to me...

I drew this picture for our folks for Christmas and I just loved the way it turned out. Can't really describe how incredibly blessed I feel every day I get to wake up to these two amazing people :)

Too Much Snow!

We were warned that we were gonna get dumped on with snow today but I did not expect to wake up to over a foot of snow in my driveway this morning.

Needless to say I was gonna get to work late today, lol.  Matt, Abby, and myself got our warmest clothes on and starting shoveling!

It was CRAZY how much snow we got! The sad thing is we worked forever trying to clear the driveway and it wasn't until one of our neighbors came over with his four-wheeler that you could really see a difference. It was cute though cause Abby being as independent as she is just had to get right in there and help out. Thankfully my dad gave us a snowsuit for Abby so she stayed warm and dry. It took quite some time (even after putting Abby down for a nap) until we could get our Jeep out of the driveway. It's not supposed to stop snowing until tomorrow, can I just say TOO MUCH SNOW! 

Happy Birthday Abby!

I seriously can't believe my little girl is already two years old. I still remember the first time I looked at her and realized that my life was never going to be the same. I will admit though I never thought I would be as happy as I am right now. She has brought me more joy and happiness then I could ever imagine. Sure the last two years haven't been easy but they have been the greatest two years of my life! 

For Abby's 2nd birthday we decided to play it low-key and have just a small party at my mom's house on Sunday (January 6th) after our usual Sunday dinner. Abby's birthday is actually on January 7th but my sister was going to be out of town that night so we decided to do presents and cupcakes the night before. We had a delicious home-made Cafe Rio dinner complete with Cafe Rio rice, Cafe Rio house dressing, and my favorite Cafe Rio sweet pork (well chicken in our case). It was so good! My amazing sister made cupcakes and we had a whole cupcake themed party complete with balloons, stringers, candles, the whole nine yards. It was so much fun watching Abby open presents and just enjoying her big day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABBY GIRL! 

Some cute video's from the day:

My incredibly beautiful daughter is 2! How insane is that? I can't begin to describe the pure joy she brings me every day! Happy Birthday Abby!
