Disney Fun


We took a quick trip down to disneyland to see the Christmas decorations. It was such a fun trip. We really didn't ride many rides, but Abby got to ride the Nightmare Before Christmas ride. She loved it so much. When she finally got to meet Mickey and Minnie, she couldn't take her eyes off of them. She loves Disneyland and so do we. If you haven't seen it around Christmas, you gotta try to see it sometime it's AMAZING.

Holiday time




Abigail ate rice cereal from her high chair for the first time. She loves to sit up and look around. She thinks she can't miss anything. We also dressed her up for christmas and she loves her christmas tree. Lately when she cries we put her in front of the tree and she calms down. It is already her favorite holiday.

Sleeping Beauty


So Abby was having some tummy time and she had a little too much fun. She passed out on her favorite toy. It was really cute so I had to post it.

Our trip to Utah

So we decided to take a trip to visit some family and friends in Utah. We first started our mini vacation with my aunt in Cedar City where we drove up the mountain and saw ice and snow. Derek got out of the car to grab his new ice dagger :) After Cedar City we drove up to Provo, but for some reason we didn't take any pictures. I love this picture of Abby. I'm pretty sure that after this trip she really hates her car seat. What do you think?

We were able to go up and visit Amber's Great Grandma G. It was a great trip. We spent the night at Uncle Carl's in Corsegold. It was very beautiful and very nice to get out of the city and up in the hills. There were lots of bugs and spiders as you can see. We saw a tranchula climbing the wall of his house. Also Hailey collected lots of rocks and stuff. The picture above is Amber finding a bug infested pinecone in her bag. It was really cool to see Grandma G hold Abby and to see how excited they both were to see each other. All and all it was a very nice trip.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch yesterday and had lots of fun. There was a corn maze that we went through and got lost in, so we cheated a little to find our way out. There was a hay maze that Gabriel and Hailey had lots of fun in and then we all picked out pumpkins to carve. They were a lot cheaper than what I expected them to be. We got 3 decent sized pumpkins for $13, actually Derek's isn't decent sized it's huge. You'll see soon enough, we're going to post a picture of it after it's carved. We can't wait for Halloween!

Trunk or Treat


This is our little family at the ward trunk or treat party... We were farmers who picked a pea pod and she's a very sweet pea pod. We had to take her out of the costume really quick because she was so hot and sweaty. She is such a sweaty little heater, she makes us all hot when we hold her.

Mom's way!



So Amber came home from work during lunch hour and thought that the pics of her I posted for her two month mark weren't cute enough. So she, yes, changed her outfit, and spent actual time taking some good pictures. So here they are :) Who's do you like better? I think mine shows off her red hair more. Mine are in the post below and these are hers.

2 month check-up



Abigail had her two month check up at the doctors yesterday. She is growing so fast and already has such a personality. She weighs 11 lbs 4 onces and is 23 inches long. She had to get her shots as well. The first one she didn't even cry, but after the next four she started to get upset. She doesn't really like to be messed with. After her shots on the way home, Amber was calling me to let me know how everything went and she got pulled over for talking on her cell phone while driving and got a ticket. I guess the police are really cracking down now. Abby is getting on a little bit better of a routine. She normaly wakes up around 7 in the morning and is very happy and awake for a few hours. After an afternoon and evening of sparatic naps, we start winding down the day with a bath and bottle at around 9. She generally falls asleep around 11:30 and wakes up during the night to eat around 3. We love her so much and she is such a great addition to our family.
