Abby slept through the night!

Last night Abby went to bed at 11:30 and didn't wake up until 7:45! It was so wonderful. I hope this is a new trend.

Abby's Blessing

Today we blessed our little Abby! It was a perfect day! Stuart did a beautiful job with the blessing. She is a lucky little girl to have such a great Daddy! Abby looked so beautiful all dolled up in her dress. Stu's Mom said to him this morning after getting her all ready, "Just wait until her first Prom." Here are some pictures.

Southern California

My cousin Tyler got married in Newport Beach, California over Labor Day weekend, so we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to spend a week in California and see the sights in that area... Disneyland, Sea World, San Diego. We had a wonderful trip. Abby really enjoyed both Disneyland and Sea World. She loved looking at all the lights, watching the rides and the animals. She also just loved sleeping in her stroller all day. Too bad she won't remember that we took her to all these places. A lot of my extended family came to the wedding and we all went to Disneyland. It was really great to see all of them since most of them don't live in Utah.

Checking out all the pretty lights!

Still so intrigued by the rides.

Sea World

Abby had a blow-out within 5 minutes of getting to Sea World! We had to wash her in the sink it was so bad.

We had to buy her this cool Shamu Towel to dry her off after the bath in the sink.

The size 2T T-shirt we bought Abby so she had something to wear, because Mommy forgot an extra outfit!

Our plane was delayed so Delta gave each if us $14.00 to spend on food in the airport. Well, there were not to many food choices. This is what you can get at McDonald's for $28.00.

Our little family spent the last week in Vail, Colorado. It was a nice relaxing week. We really didn't do much at all, but it was so nice to get away. Our first day we met some nice people at a welcome BBQ at our hotel that told us to go on a Gondola ride on Thursdays because it is free. That was a lot of fun! It was absolutely gorgeous. We always go on vacation to the beach, so it was a fun change to go to the mountains. Our hotel was walking distance from Vail Village, so we would walk there and go to dinner and the shops and every night we had to go to the Marble Slab and share the Cookie Dough Drizzle Creation. Yummy! We are addicted to the TV show Heroes so we bought season 2 before we left and watched that and Stu was a sweet heart and let me pick out a movie every night. I got all the movies in that I wanted to see like... Bride Wars, 17 Again, and He is Just Not That into You. All of which were good movies and Stu didn't mind them, well Bride Wars was not his favorite. It was a great little get away for us!

Lunch with a good friend!

My friend Shelly and I went out out to lunch last week to catch up and so we could meet each others little ones. It was so good to see her it has been way too long.
