Princess Abby in a Nut Shell

My baby girl turned 6. She calls herself my baby girl because she is the youngest of the girls in our family. She is such a great girl. She loves to sing and dance. In fact she makes up her own songs and sings them all of the time. She wants to be in ballet and gymnastics. She even has her Mom a little scared because she says she wants to be a cheerleader and not a basketball player!

She has a great imagination and has the great talent of staying out of trouble. She will be in first grade this year and loves school. She is reading great and loves to read to her little brothers.

Her favorite colors are gold and silver. Her favortie food is pretty much anything Italian. She loves to play with her cousin Colin.

Most importantly she has learned to recognize The Spirit and has the habit of reading her scriptures and saying her prayer. We are so proud of her! WE LOVE YOU BABY GIRL!!!!

Abby Turns 6

Daddy surprised us and showed up at Abby's party with his staff!

The kids had a lot of fun going down all of the inflatable slides

Make a wish!

Puppy Love

We recently added two white German shepards to our family. They are 10 weeks old and adorable. They are so good with the kids and the kids have done really well with the responsibility of having dogs. They are brother and sister. If you have seen the Disney movie Bolt than they might seem familiar. The movie's main character "Bolt" is a white German shepard. So it seemed only right that they be named Bolt and Penny.

Bolt is in the orange collar and his ears point up where Penny is in the pink and has floppy ears.

They are really good with the kids. Even Tyson isn't afraid of them.

Ali loves the dogs and is in charge of taking care of them. She has done awesome! She puts them out every morning and then lets them back in at night. She is even really good about picking up their poop!

Swimming Lessons

We had swimming lessons this year for 2 weeks. This was the first time I didn't have to bribe someone to get in the water. I guess having a pool helps! The kids did great and even went down the slide during the party on the last day.

Nate, I love that look

Ali, going into the water.

Disney World 2010 ~ The After Party

We went to Disney World after the cruise and had a great time. Josh scuba dived at Epcot and the kids got makeovers at Magic Kingdom. It was so much fun

The Disney Cruise

The Disney Cruise was so AWESOME. If you have ever thought about going DO IT! Best family vaction ever!

The Girls Get a Mani/Pedi

I took the girls to get their first mani/pedi and boy did they love it! They are now asking when they can go back.

Ali is waiting her turn

Abby kept saying this was the best day ever!
