ALOHA

It means "hello" and "goodbye" So Aloha Tomball, and Aloha Hawaii!

We will be heading out on Saturday for vacation! And I can't wait! We will post lots of pics and details when we get back.

Fancy Pants

I have been working for a while on planning Abby's birthday party. Those who know me know that when I plan something I do it down to every last detail, and I go WAY overboard. She will be having a cupcake theme party. And what party is complete without the perfect outfit. I wanted something special and something homemade. I took some ideas from an outfit that Brandon's cousin made and others I have seen in boutiques and this is what I came up with.

I am so happy with how it came out. She is going to be stylin' at the party. I am thinking about making more of these and possibly selling them to anyone who is interested. If you are- email me at jessica623@sbcglobal.net

The hairbow that is pinned to the top of the outfit was made by my friend Jennifer. She makes the most adorable bows and will match them to your outfit. Check her out on Facebook at Jen Jen's Precious Bowtique

Dish Duty

Abby is walking now- has been for about a month. And I know I have to watch her every second but for the most part she does not get in to a lot that she is not supposed to. I was cleaning and doing dishes on Saturday and got the dishwasher emptied when the dryer went off. I went and got the clothes out of the dryer and took them to our room then went back in the kitchen to load the dishwasher again- this is what I found:




She was so proud of herself. She obviously just wanted to help Mommy. After I ran and got the camera and took a few pictures I had to teach her that climbing in the dishwasher was a "No No".

Ear Tubes and Snow Flakes

Well the doctor finally decided that after 7 ear infections in 6 months that it was time for Abby to have tubes put in. Brandon and I were so apprehensive about the actual procedure, but were so excited to get a solution to this problem.

Last Tuesday, the 23rd we went to a surgical center to do the surgery. The staff there was FANTASTIC and I would recommend them to anyone. They made us feel so comfortable and had the process down!! We were in and out- pre-op to recovery in 2 hours!

Abby and Daddy doing a puzzle while waiting for the doctor

Abby spent most of the day sleeping after we got home- which I figured she would. It was the day the weatherman had predicted snow in Houston for the third time this year! He was right. About 3:00 in the afternoon it began to sleet and snow at our house. Abby was feeling well enough that I let her go out and play in it for a few minutes.

Resting on the couch

And eating cheerios

She seemed very irritated with the mittens, but she could not figure out how to get them off.
