February 2015

Abby acting older than she really is. She helps herself to Russ's ipad then sets up a little work station with snacks and all!

She gets more attached to her blankies every day!

Abby LOVES Noah. She is always excited for him to get home from school and then sad when he leaves to hang out with friends. If he's hanging out outside, she wants to be with him. I captured that pretty well with these pictures of her just watching him work.

 We went on a Sunday night bike ride and Noah really wanted to be the one to pull Abby in the bike trailer. He loved it and so did she!

This is Abby zonked out... watching the "baby channel" I'm sure!

She seriously thinks she rules the house...

(getting into Dad's candy)

 

She LOVES wagon rides... especially when Dad is involved.

The kids get to sleep in bed with mom when Dad goes out of town. Nobody except Abby was comfortable this particular night!

Hanging out and enjoying her pizza with Noah, Ellie, and Roxy at Riggs's Eagle Project

 

Visiting Riggs's grave, two weeks after he passed. It was a pretty day and perfect weather outside for a picnic!

This princess loves her high heels. She makes sure to hold them on her feet even when it's not comfortable to flex your feet in order to hold them on.

 

Abbers & Davers... kissing cousins :)

This is our little neighborhood and ward friend, Boston... taking such good care of Abby at the school playground. She loves to swing!

Mommy & Abby got up really early (at least early for Abby) to cheer Suzanne on... she ran a 1/2 marathon! We made some posters and had fun being spectators instead of athletes!

January 2015

Abby on New Year's Day... starting the year off looking and dressing more like a woman!

Russ asked Abby if she wanted a ride on Noah's dirtbike and she screamed in fear. He forced her on it and then she didn't want off... after taking a ride around the block, she cried until Russ would take her on another ride!

Grandma Vicki and matching cousins!

Abby likes to hide INSIDE every cabinet she can fit herself into.

Sweet cousins Abby & Davis

New haircut!!

She's probably too old to be drinking bottles still but she loves them.

Loungin'

We dressed Abby up in her panda costume one night, just for fun. She cried when we had to take it off. She LOVES it.

Russ has been asked to keep score a few times at Noah's basketball games. Abby sits right next to him and behaves herself surprisingly!

Little Miss Sneaky found some candy in Dad's nightstand and helped herself to it!

 Abby loves it when Daddy plays the guitar. She was dancing on the bed while he sang/played "can I have this dance"!

This is what happens at dinner time when you haven't a had a nap yet.

December 2014

Suzy had an extra little scooter at her house and Abby knew just what to do with it. It was so cute and Suzy let Abby take the scooter home!

Sometimes Abby thinks dad's iPad is actually her's.

Abby was forced to sit on Santa's lap at our ward Christmas party and didn't like it one bit.

 She was in good company though. Haha! These are some pictures that our friends in the ward posted to instagram of their babies not liking Santa :) 

(Lucy and Davis Baldwin, Cora Elicio, Abby, Hudson Call, Parker, Marie, and Anya Nischan, Kozie and Boston Manutai.

Most of our December was occupied with moving. We moved within our same neighborhood and we LOVE the new house. We moved on December 20th (how crazy are we?). This is the night we moved in. Abby was so happy to have her toys in a new place.

Christmas Eve, we visited both Grandma Sherwood and Grandma Riggs, then we ate dinner and In-N-Out. After that, we drove around and looked at Christmas lights. Our plan was to go see the temple lights but it was a little chilly outside!

Each of the kids got to open one gift on Christmas Eve. I wonder what it could have been?!

New pajamas of course!

The kids made Santa some cookies and left him a note with the cookies and milk.

That night, Santa sure did come to our house! 

This is the note he left behind:

The kids waited anxiously to find what Santa had left...

Here are the 3 kids who wanted to do a sibling gift exchange, getting ready to open their gifts from each other. Sophie had Noah, Noah had Abby, and Abby had Sophie.

Abby loved her gift from Noah.

Opening gifts from Grandma Price

Abby, the panda lover, loved her new panda sweatshirt.

She also loved the new wagon that daddy got from Grandma Price.

We went over to Grandma & Poppy's house and were spoiled by them. Abby got a new cabbage patch doll!

She also had a nice little nap on Lance's lap!

Somebody loves their new doll :)

Traditional stockings from Grandma & Poppy...

4 cute girls cousins, with their new dollies!

 We have spent a lot of time at Lowes as we've been working on the new house and fixing up the old one for renters. Abby was being so cute this day as she helped Russ push the cart around.

Abby has got to spend some extra time with Davis lately as Alisse has taken her while I get things done. Lucky girl!

A few times, Alisse has taken her with them to the IDEA museum. She LOVES it!

New Years Eve, the Cummards and Baldwins came to our house to ring in the new year. It took us awhile to get started doing anything fun, but it ended up being a pretty fun night. We played pictionary and the name game and had lots of laughs :)

2014 was a good year for our family. We're excited to see what 2015 is all about though :)
