We went to pine valley over the weekend to escape the heat for a few hours, it was great.
We packed a lunch and walked along the river, it was only 85 degrees outside, it was wonderful. We had a fun time, we brought Brian's dog polly and she had a blast in the water, she just ran in and out getting us all wet. My brother Zach is visiting right now, he is being shipped out to the persian gulf next month for seven months so it will be nice to spend some time with him.

It has been a while, there hasn't been much going on this month. We are ready for it to cool down now, it is still pretty hot. This is a video of Abby just being her silly self. She does things like this all day long, cuddling with different things like socks, shoes and whatever else I will let her have. Well hopefully I will have more soon.

So I decided to let Abby feed herself because half the time she, the stubborn little child that she is, she will not eat unless she does it herself. So this is what I got, a big mess of course. She has actually done a lot better before, usually I feed her about half the yogurt and then give it to her, but she was not having any of that this time so I said "ok, have at it." Anyway we have been doing fine, she keeps us busy but we have fun.

So Abby has taken a small interest in cleaning, she went under the sink and got the duster and started to wipe the walls with it. I had been dusting the window above earlier and she just decided she would help me clean. It was really funny because I was dusting the magazine rack in the living room and hadn't heard her in a while and I got up and there she was so I got the camera and recorded her. She loves to follow me around and do what I am doing, she will get her brush out and try to brush her hair and help put the clothes in the washer and dryer. She loves to help and just is a lot of fun!

Well all the cousins are here visiting from Texas and we finally got to meet Finnian, my sister Denae's youngest boy, he is six months old, and he his hair grows long right down the middle of his head like a fin, it is so cute. We went to the park yesterday and then went swimming later in the afternoon. We are enjoying seeing them, they will be here for a month. The girls are all going to Tuacahn to see Les Miserables, it is supposed to be amazing. Well hopefully I will have more to put on here next time, until love all of you.

The Fourth of July

We went to the park early before the heat and Abby had just a fun time in the water and on the swings. She kept going back to the swings after she would go in the water, she was a little hestitant about the water at first, but once she realized it cooled her off and felt good in the heat she would go back for a little bit to cool off. She went down the slide with Cameron a few times but everytime we would set her down she would go to the swings. So we had a good moring, later we will be at the pool and then to the park for fireworks, have a good fourth of July everyone! We love you all.

So day one out of 500 for potty training, I am just trying to get her used to sitting on the seat even if she does not understand yet what we are doing. She sat on it for about five minutes and was happy, she played peek-a-boo with the shower curtain a little bit too. Well we are going to try and go on our first bike ride this morning with her in the trailer, we will see how that turns out, a lot of firsts happening right now at this age for our little angel.
