Hello Old Friend!

I am a bad mom. I started this blog so that I could document all these wonderful memories that we would have as first time parents with Abbie. I started of being really consistant with my posts and then all of the sudden....NOTHING. I just got busy with work and life and stopped blogging. I read all of my friend's blogs and think "Wow..these blogs are amazing" but then I don't do anything to update my blog. So here I am, back after a LONG break. Get ready for some blogs!

Tom was out of town this week so it was just me and Abbie. Well...Tom's mom came down from Nevada to stay with us and take care of Abbie when I was at work. She left early yesterday morning and so Abbie and I did some garage sailing! It was GREAT. We found some wonderful finds! Here are some pictures of our treasures:

This is a Little People play house that I got for $2.00

I saw this bag of balls and for only $1.00 thought that it could be a lot of fun for Abbie. She loves kicking them around and throwing them for Penny to fetch.

Abbie is OBSESSED (like her mother) with our vacuum cleaner. She always wants to help. I saw this and thought she would love it....and she does. She has been pushing it around the house all day! Great fun for only $1.00!

These soft blocks were only $2.00 as well. I am all about toys that make Abbie use her imagination. These will be great for her to play with.


Here is the little Babes playing with her Little People House!


We went to our friend Dale's "Nerdy 30" Star Wars birthday party last night. It was a blast. Lynette, Dale's wife and my WONDERFUL friend, sure knows how to pull a surprise off. It was just like being on Tatooine (for those of you non-nerdy Star Wars people, that is Luke Skywalker's home planet). There were so many people dressed up. Lynette got Dale the Darth Vader costume and he was SO excited. It was like a kid on Christmas. I will have pictures from it shortly.

This is my favorite movie from the Star War series. Jabba the Hut is just so creepy!

Tom comes home tonight! YIPPEE!! Abbie and myself can't wait to hug and kiss him. Having him gone this week really makes me realize how MUCH I depend on him for support. He is a great dad to Abbie and an absolutely WONDERFUL husband.
Thank you Tom for all that you do for us girls. WE LOVE YOU POR VIDA!
