A walk in Momma's shoes

Abby Kate's new favorite thing is finding our shoes and walking around in them (except for Daddy's boots and then she loves to hide her stuffed animals in them). This was her first walk in heels...wedges to be exact! She was a natural!

Ahhh Fall.....

We went to Sweetie and Po(a)ppy's (Abby Kate actually adapted his name from Poppy to Pappy and so it shall be)this past weekend and had a ball playing in the leaves. It was my favorite thing as a kid too! She kept wanting us to cover her up after each time she jumped in a pile, she wanted us to re-rake the leaves into another pile. FUN FUN!

Blowing Her Nose

Most of you know Abby Kate has been pretty sick and has had a whirlwind few days. Her little nose has been dripping and driving her crazy (she has her Daddy's OCD tendencies and hates anything to be unclean on her...except dirt unfortunately). So yesterday, she went in her bathroom and promptly did this....

Giddy Up Horsy!

Oh this child! She cracks us up! Love this one....

Happy Night from the Bumblebee!

Trampoline Fun!

Playing at the park....

Here are a few more pictures of our time this past weekend. The weather was perfect and we had SUCH fun!

Pumpkin Patch with Neannie, Kourtney and Krista

Millions of New Pics....

I have TONS of new pictures and videos to post so stay tuned this week for lots of new ones. I may even do a slideshow or two to get them all in!

Channing Birthday!

We got to go to Channing's birthday on Sunday and got to eat tons of tons of pink M&Ms. Gosh she loves those things!

The Chatter

Here is a little glimpse of our little Chatter. She ADORES the dogs and talks to them constantly. Bless their hearts. They are so patient!

Another cute OSU Pic....

We also taught Abby Kate to say "GO POKES!" which was cute and fun to watch her say. This horse is an OSU rocking horse that Nannie and Grumpies had when I was little. It was fun to watch her play on it.
She already misses Nannie and Dumpies so much. She talks about them all the time and yesterday saw a lady with white hair and leaned over to touch her hair and say "NANNIE!" Of course, she was embarrassed when she turned around but I think mostly disappointed :) Isn't family the best?

Bath Time!

We still love bath time here...we now call it swimming. You can see the video of her "swimming" in the above post!

Pop and "Dad Dad"

We also got to spend time with Pop and "Dad Dad." They came up for the Gun Show and had a ball. It was the first time Grandad had got to come visit so we had a WONDERFUL time and I cannot begin to tell you how fun it was to watch this men fuss over Abby Kate. Saturday morning they were all three in her room when she woke up and just giving her all the attention in the world as she performed. What a fun thing for a little girl! Undivided attention from the men in her life. Ahhhhh....she is surely blessed!

Go Pokes!

We had such a wonderful time in Stillwater this weekend for OSU Homecoming! We got to see our entire family which is always such a treat and spend time with Nannie and "Dumpies." We laughed a lot and just loved being together. I could not get the pic of AK and I to rotate so sorry about that! Hehe!

One More...

I couldn't get this one to post last night but I love it. They were just chatting away. LOVE IT!

The Pumpkin Patch with Channing

We are trying to soak up the minutes with Channing and Lacie before they move next week. Her birthday is this Saturday and her party is Sunday which may be the last time we get together. As you can see, they have a BALL together. We grabbed lunch after this chilling day outside at McAlisters and ate yummy soup in a bread bowl and the girls laughed hard at each other the whole time. Lacie and I just chatted and I realized how precious it is of our Lord to give us friends to walk beside. I am already praying that Abby Kate will have friends that encourage her and inspire her and point her to the Lord. Though Channing may be miles away soon, we will still pray for her and know God will do big things in her life. It is just FUN to watch your children make friends. And to love them. And to squeal their name when they see them. Channing kept saying "ABS! ABS! Come here!" today and we just laughed and laughed. Fun two year old friends. They can teach us a lesson or two in how to enjoy each other....

Her Father's Joy....

Did you all know the name Abigail means "her father's joy?" This is such a sweet picture of the joy her father brings to her life!

Dancing Queens

Please do not listen to my dorky voice on this....I think it is so funny or I wouldn't be posting it. I HATE hearing my voice on camera. I feel like a moron. Anyway...enjoy!

Abby Kate and Channing

This is Abby Kate and her sweet friend Channing. They have SO much fun together. They are 2 months apart and are little peas in a pod! We just found out last week they are moving and we have been SO sad! I love their little pink cheeks in this second picture. They played SO hard outside. Lacie and I were afraid they were going to stroke out before we got some water in them.
