Catch up....

Well, I did it again. I let an entire month go by before I even knew what had happened. It's not fair how quickly time goes by these days. I guess you'll just have to prepare yourself for a post that is probably entirely too long since I have to cover all that has happened since Christmas. I will try and be brief with my words and let our photos do the talking.

First, a friend of mine helped me (it was actually her idea) gift wrap our friend's desk at work. That's what she gets for taking a week off! :) It really helped to get me into the Christmas spirit, you know?

We celebrated one Christmas in Kentucky!

We played with the train at Grammie and Pops' house. We also celebrated Christmas at Popo and Moma Jo's house, but I somehow left there without any pictures....I think I let Jami take all the pictures there.

Abbott got really excited!

Ryan got really excited too!

We celebrated New Years Eve with some good friends!

Spent New Year's Day at Grammie and Pops' house.

Abbott got his first guitar lesson from Steve.

We played with Mr. Potato Head.

I celebrated my 29th birthday with some good girl friends.

And today, we played in the snow!!! Here are Ryan, Abbott and Roxie getting ready to head outside.

Abbott LOVED the snow.


Home sweet home.


Beach toys make excellent snow toys too.

It was hard to make snowballs with this snow, but Ryan found a way! Then he threw this one at my face.

Abbott tried to throw the snow too.

It was such a fun time! I hope we can get back out in it tomorrow!

Abbott has recently developed some new talents and skills. Like any good mommy, I have been taking some short videos to document them so...here you go!

That was, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 8!" in case you had trouble understanding. :)

And for all you musicians out there, a special song:
