have been really bad at blogging, honestly i haven't wanted to at all!! We have been having a really great summer so far! We planted a garden with peas, corn, carrots, onions, squash and tomatos.. they are all growing like crazy, and Abbey and I go out there every night and snack on peas and carrots.. if you ask her where carrots come from she says my back yard (sometimes.. she makes me look like a liar)
We have also went boating alot in the last couple weeks.. I love it, i love sitting out on the boat with my mom and Ken, and Lane and Abbey sleeping and us just talking and laughing and just really enjoying each others company! Abbey got a fishing pole for her birthday and she just thinks that is the coolest thing that has ever happened to her on the boat.. she casts it, and reels it in all day long.. she thinks its pretty fun to push me in the water, and I like it too.. its the only way lately that i can get cool! We went over to my moms and roasted marshmallows after the lake one night, and I realized as my daughter was running at the fire with 2 marshmallows on her stick that she is a big girl now! She is doing things all by herself now, its a strange thing, but also so great, I really love letting her play outside and just wander and figure out what everything is.. she loves bugs and thinks that they are pretty cool when they crawl on her.. i think its grose, and when she wants me to hold them it makes me sick.. especially earwigs.. thats right she picks those grose bugs up and says look mom cute!! Everyone tells me that when this baby comes Abbey will be so big compared to her, and i know she will, but she is big enough! I feel like we have really hard days where i just want to put her in her in the closet.. and other days where she just wants to sit on my lap and kiss me all day! I love her, she is so sweet, she is very protective of her family and their things.. we let our friend borrow her baby car seat and her pack and play, and she was so sad.. it was her sisters and she didn't want Gerri to take it! She is going to be so protective of this babe, i can tell already! She loves babys and everytime she hears one crying she says oh no baby crying! She has such a tender little heart, and I hope she always has that! She is also so creative.. she is always helping me plant flowers, move stuff around to make it look better.. She got some fingerpaints, and i just let her go crazy.. this little girl was swimming in the paint... had gotten completly naked, and was sitting in it! Its so fun to just let them get dirty.. and man does she do that well!!
We had a birthday party for Abbey and my cousin Jamie the other night.. we only got a few pictures..
