new play set

The weather was gorgeous this weekend and we loved getting outside. Our sweet neighbors gave us this play set today! They told us that their kids have out-grown it and offered it to us. What a blessing!!! Bo snapped the pieces together and Abby LOVED it. She was hoping around the yard saying "I just love it!" and laughing. We had a busy, but fun weekend as a family. Bring on SPRING!!!

Before the show

She was a bit nervous at first

The show started and she loved it!

Dancing with Big Bird

Too much excitement. She fell asleep the last 15 min. of the show

This morning, Bo and I took Abby to see Sesame Street Live. We told her about it before we left and she was a bit anxious. She kept saying, "Elmo is nice. He is not scary. He will wave at Abby.". Bless this girl!!! Once we got there, she did great! The characters were far enough away and she loved watching them dance and sing on stage. She had a great time. Apparently she had so much fun that the last 15 min. of the show, she fell sound asleep. She is still talking about it and we loved treating her to this special morning!!

Our ride from the airport to the resort

Yep. He was our neighbor. Lived right outside our back door.

This is also right outside our back door. We had a swim-up casita!

This was a terrible excuse for Diet Coke.

We had massages on the beach!

No explanation needed here.

Bo and I took a trip to Mexico with our friends, the Browns. We left all of the snow in Dallas and laid out in beautiful weather for 4 days. It was a perfect get away. We did a lot of nothing and it was wonderful! Bo did some research and found us a great all inclusive resort just south of Cancun. It was absolutely beautiful!! I loved every thing about it, but by Wed. I was ready to get home and see my girl!!

Abby was well taken care of in Arkansas with my parents. She went to the Children's Museum and to Chuck-E-Cheese twice. Needless to say, she had a blast. Thanks, Mom and Dad for taking such great care of her! Thanks, Bo for an amazing trip!!

hi, my name is Abby.....

.....and I am addicted to my pacis.

i heart February

Happy February!!!

two peas in a pod

I just can't explain to you how hilarious these two are together. Abby loves all of her cousins and has a blast with every single one of them, but there is something special about "Zacky". I don't know how much longer his laid back personality will be able to take all the girl drama, so for now I am so enjoying this bond. I LOVE seeing them together!

exciting news....

My sister in law, Meredith, gave Abby a dress-up kit for Christmas. She LOVES it! Abs has never really been into princesses until now. She loves to dress up in the different costumes and put on all the jewlery. She even asked today if she could wear one of her costumes to the mall! Let the fun begin!! I love it.

This past weekend, Abby and I went to Longview, Texas, to see my brother and his sweet family. My sister in law, Meredith, fancied up my blog for me! I love it! Thanks, again, Mer!!

The kids had a great time together. We played lots and Abby loved having some older girls to follow around. I don't know where Garrett was during all these pics, but he was close behind them! They all played well together and Meredith and I even got two nights of total chick flicks while my brother worked. Thanks for having us! We had a GREAT time!!!
