July started out of course with our great trip to Newport Beach, but
here are the other pictures we took during the rest of the month...
Abby figured out this month how to get into things... I was in the
shower one day when she came to the shower entrance and was trying to
tell me something, using her hands to try to explain. When I got out of
the shower, I saw that she had gone into the laundry room to get the
stepstool, then pushed it all the way into my room to get the remote and
the wedding book off the dresser. She had tried to tell me that she
figured out how to get it all herself!
This picture is very deceiving... Abby is smiling but the wet spots on
her shirt are from her tears. She has become very naughty lately and
gets put in her crib a lot to think about being better. She saw that I
had my phone out, so she smiled for the camera through her tears!
I will take any snuggles and sweetness I can get from this terrible-two-year-old. And take a picture to remember it forever!
Abby got to try out a new dance class with her friend Kozie. She didn't like it too much but mommy signed her up anyway!
So cool, drinking Dad's leftover soda pop in the Costco parking lot!
Abby loves to hang out at the Manutai home. They take such good care of
her and let her borrow Kozie's swimsuits when she doesn't come prepared
with her own...
Just like Daddy!
Enjoying free reign of an ipad while mom waits to drop of Daddy's computer in the apple store.
We went shopping one day with Auburn and Suzy, and to keep Abby happy I
let her hold my phone. Auburn wanted to take pictures of her but I guess
Abby also wanted to take pictures of Auburn! I found these pictures on
my phone later that night...
3rd wheel on Mom & Dad's date night to Ra Sushi... Abby liked using the chopsticks!
Visiting grandma Riggs who hasn't been feeling well at all lately :(
We took our first family lake trip of the summer and had lots of fun at
Saguaro Lake! Abby was scared of the tube at first but ended up loving it!
While shopping for Noah's school clothes, Abby found a few backpacks she
wanted. The first was "Minnie Mouse bow-tique" and the second was
puppies. 2 things she loves!
When Russ was away with the priests and Brother Manutai on their super-activity, we had a little dinner
& swimming party at the Manutai's home since both daddies were
away. We had a fun time until Abby decided to run away from me as I was
trying to get her dressed at the end of the night... and then she
slipped and fell on wet concrete. She screamed a scream that we knew
meant she was hurt. We knew it was her leg but didn't see any swelling
or anything. The next day, I took her to the doctor where they did x
rays and put her leg in a splint. The x-rays didn't show a break but she
is still having pain a week later :(
The good news... is that lots of people spoiled Abby! Kozie and Klorissa
brought over a gift bag packed full of treats, chewy medicine, a card,
and even some new princess high heels! Abby was so happy. She said
"happy birthday Abby" and kept telling me thank you as she pulled
everything out of the bag. That day at lunch, Suzy, Grandma, Auburn,
Noah, and Ellie also spoiled her rotten with lots of candy, treats, and
cards as well.
