Daddy Time!!!

We have loved having daddy around for the past few days!  This is the crew watching TV.

A day at Cowabunga Bay.  Abby loved having daddy there to go down all the slides with.

Step 1 Boards

Stu took Step 1 today!  He has studied so hard and we have prayed, fasted and my dad gave him a blessing, I know that he will do well.  We are so excited to have him around for two full weeks!

We went to Cowabunga Bay to pass the time until daddy was done!

Abby went down the slides all by herself

Getting ready for daddy to get home!  Abby made all kinds of cards.

Yahoo! Congrats daddy!

Happy Father's Day

This is what the kids and I gave Stu for Father's Day this year.  After I had Abby help me with the dot paints she says to me can I have something on the big paper now.  She is such a cute little stinker.  It wasn't the best Father's Day for Stu since he had to study for Step 1, but at least our car didn't get stolen. ( :   We Love you Daddy!

Pretend Doctor

Stu was looking in Sam's ears because we think he might have another ear infection and Abby said, "You don't have to look in my ears because you are just a pretend doctor not a real doctor." Stu said, "For a couple more years I guess that is true. "

Prayers

Abby is pretty much the only one that can say the prayer around here...anytime.  If any of us try to say it she will freakout!  She says the same cute little prayer every time... "Heavenly father, thank the for this day.  Bless the food, make us health and strong.  Bless Abby in the name of Jiste (Jesus Christ) Amen." Tonight she switched things up a bit... she added, "Bless my feather that I will have it if I loose all my toys."  (She found a feather today.) 

Castles and Churches

Abby built this while I was doing the dishes tonight.  I said to her, "That is a pretty cool castle."  She said to me, "It is not a cool castle, it is church with two sidewalks."  I can't believe that that I didn't see that, of course it is!  ( :

Out and about with the kiddos...

Volcanos

Abby was in the shower with Stu today and she said to him, "You have a volcano like baby Sam, me and mommy don't have volcanos."  I just wonder where she comes up with these things. 

Abby said...

When Sam and Abby were in the tub yesterday Abby said, "I have a front bum and Sam has a volcano bum." Then today Abby said, "I wish I has a statue of myself. Maybe when a go potty in the toilet I could get one!"

Love...

Abby is watching The Lion King right now. It is close to the end when they are singing Can You Feel The Love Tonight and Stu walked in to check on her and she said to him about Simba and Nala, "They are in love but they don't have a baby, where is the baby?" Guess when you are in love you have to have a baby!

My Little Pony

Grandpa got out all my old My Little Ponies.  Abby screamed when my dad pulled out the box.  I  think she has died and gone to heaven.

Must Be Siblings!

I thought it was so funny the day I found Abby with huge basket on her high chair.  I left her for one minute and while I was gone she had pulled this basket off the counter on to her high chair.  It was full of newspapers and pretty heavy.  I am not sure how she didn't drop it. 

 A couple weeks ago I turn my head to do something in the kitchen and Sam does the same thing with the same basket full of even more newspapers.  I am very surprised he didn't drop it.

Stuart sent this picture to me of Abby when she was around 7 or 8 months old one Saturday morning when I was at work.  The caption with the picture said, "Wipes, breakfast of champions." 

The other day I find Sam (8 months old) enjoying a wipe breakfast too.

I gave Sam a hair cut...

Not to bad for trying to cut it while he was moving all over the place and screaming!  I think he has curly hair like Abby.  The ends of his hair just want to curl.

Memorial Day BBQ

This Memorial day we enjoyed a nice BBQ in our back yard.  We had Grandma and Grandpa Jensen and Emily, Paul and their kids.  Abby thought cooking marshmallows was pretty fun!

Sam's got another tooth

Sam got his other bottom front tooth not exactly sure the date but some time around here.

Sleepover

Tonight Grandma Jo invited Abby, Hallie, and Addie to sleepover. We knew Abby would not last but we let her try. On the way home Stu and I were commenting on how quite it was not having Abby talking in the back. Stu said no one is saying, "I will watch tv when I get home or I want breakfast." (Every meal is breakfast to her.) We got home and about 25 minutes later we got a call from grandma and Abby. She wanted to go home and sleep in her bed. So, I headed back to my parents to pick her up. I got her in the car and she says, "I want breakfast and watch tv when I get home." Stu knows Abby all to well. One day she will sleepover at grandma's. I knew she wouldn't last but I was really looking forward to not having to put her to bed tonight and getting a break!

Sam's 1st tooth

Sam's first tooth broke through today!  He got his bottom front right tooth.  The other bottom front tooth is right behind it!

This is the Place Heritage Park

We enjoyed a day at This is the Place.  Abby really enjoyed it.  She especially liked the pony ride.
