Abby's Baptism

 Abby was so excited about her baptism.  She had Grammy make her a special dress for the day.  She had a very specific design in mind for her dress and Grammy made it perfectly.




 Both of Abby's Grandparents flew out for her big day.  She felt very blessed to have them there.


Dad's Honey Do List continued...





Dad was a huge help in building the shelves and window seat int he toy room.  When it's all finished it's going to house all the toys...I can't wait!



This was a huge project and I couldn't have done it alone.  This was probably the most productive week I've had in a long time.  Mom tended the kids and Dad and I tackled one project after the next, it was awesome.

A Welcome Visit - Dad's Honey Do List

My parents came for a very welcome visit.  Bryson took to Grandpa right away :)

 Of course presents helped to break the ice







 While dad was around I put him to work.  He helped me a ton with all sorts of little projects.  We (He) put up a ceiling fan, installed a new sink and faucet, and started the book cases and window seat in the toy room.  Dad, you are welcome back anytime!  Oh, and mom you are too :)


 This little guy was a ton of help
 His older brother was also very helpful :)

Bye Bye builder grade sink and faucet



Doesn't mom look like she's doing a tremendous amount of work?  Way to hold the hoses mom!



Hello, single big beautiful sink and lovely faucet. (ignore the excess pipes in the sink)



Crazy Cookie Party!

 Abby had a cookie party to celebrate her 8th birthday with her friends.
 I made all the girls matching aprons with their initial on the front.  We made 3 different types of cookies and decorated boxes so each girl could take them home.





 For dessert Abby requested ice cream cookie sandwiches, lets just say this group was on sugar overload!



Abby turns 8!

I can't believe my sweet baby is 8!  Wow, the time goes by too quickly.  She is turning into a beautiful little lady and is a loving and fun big sister.


It just wouldn't be a good picture unless Jacob was in it, right?  He insists on always being in every picture.




Abby got a swimming Barbie and Dog from Jacob and Bryson.  It's just what this water loving girl wanted.


Abby loves Jane Grandma's Chocolate cake.  It was no surprise she requested it for her birthday treat

Happy Birthday Sweet Princess!
