We were able to see Mac and Cousin Caden this past weekend. They all had so much fun together. If only we all lived closer so we could get together more often!

Here are some pics of my 2 little Diva's! Grandma Kath got them the cute little hats! What a fun little photo shoot!

Another weekend gone!

On Saturday the girls and I headed north to Plainville for the day. AZ was finishing up work in the basement, so we figured we'd go see Grandma Kath for the afternoon. She decided to make her Fried Chicken dinner (yum! yum!) for dinner that night. Abby was able to play with Trevyn and Nadalyn while Shelby watched them! It was so fun to listen to them play and laugh! Abby ended up staying the night with Grandma and Grandpa. She had fun sleeping between them, I'm sure kicking them every now and then! On Sunday Grandma Kath took her swimming at Steve and Tracy's with Shanna, Jenna, Trevyn and Nadalyn! She didn't stop talking about it when she came home that evening. It sounds like she had a great time!

Abby and Nadalyn stopping for a pic!

Abby looooooves her lipstick!

She even got Grandpa wearing it!

Kisses for Grandma!

Little Miss Shelby!

Vacation=FuN iN tHe SuN

Well I am finally making it back to the blog. AZ, Abby and I left last Thursday to Fort Walton Beach, Florida (The Emerald Coast) for a long weekend. We were able to spend a couple days at the beach (it was right outside our condo door) and attend a good friends wedding. Abby did great traveling on the airplane. She is getting to be such a big girl. She even had her own seat on the airplane. She didn't much care for the ocean (the waves coming in were too loud and I think the salt water may have splashed into her eyes the first day) but she enjoyed the kiddy pool! We watched the fireworks from our condo balcony and headed home Sunday morning bright and early! Shelby stayed the weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Ramsay. It was hard to leave her, but I knew she was in great hands, being spoiled by Grandma and Grandpa. I think she grew a couple inches while we were gone. Now back to the real world! Here are some pics from our mini vacation.







She held the alligator like it was one of her dolls! Wouldn't go into the ocean, but held an alligator...go figure!

Monday...again!

Wow do the weekends go fast! On Saturday, AZ and I had a so called date night while Grandma and Grandpa Ramsay watched the girls. They told us we were doing them a favor by letting them watch them! AZ and I attended a viewing of a marriage video presented by his church. It was an awesome video that explained both sexes and why they do what they do! Women are multitaskers and men are single taskers (ha,ha!) On Sunday after church and naps we ventured to the neighbors house for a little fun in the sun! Abby wore her floaties and swam around the pool and Shelby loved just floating in her little floaty. Looking forward to swimming with Abby at the beach in just 3 days!!!

5 months

Well today Shelby is 5 months and I feel like it was just yesterday we got to bring her home. Time really does seem to go fast as you get older. She is still going to work in Plainville with me 4 days a week and goes to Teresa's one day with Abby. She is definitely a momma's girl, which I love! It's ok because Abby is definitely a daddy's girl! She is still working on getting those teeth in. I'm hoping it happens before we leave for Florida, but I have a feeling she will get it when we're gone. We started vegetables tonight at dinner and she LOVED it. Abby wanted a bite too, but didn't like it as much (sweet potatoes)! We spent this evening at the park with Grandma and Grandpa Ramsay while AZ was playing softball. Abby had a great time on the teeter totter with Grandpa and Grandma. Now I think since the girls are in bed, I'm going to hit the sack too!

Rewind to the weekend...

Well on Friday after I got home from work, Abby and I took off to the Hays Aquatic Park for a little one on one time together. She absolutely loves the water. I can't wait to take her back! She wanted to go down the big slides, but I was a little leary...maybe next time when dad can go with us! On Saturday we prepared for Shelby's baptism. It was rainy all day, but Abby and I trekked out to Wal-mart and Dillons to get last minute food items for dinner. After church on Saturday night Shelby was baptised in the Catholic church. It was very special! Father Daryl actually submerses the babies in the baptismal fountain after their garments are removed. Abby tried to get in the "swimming pool" only once! After the baptism, we headed back to our house for some great Stromboli and lots of other food! On Sunday we dedicated Shelby in the Nazarene church. It too was a very special day. When we were standing up at the alter, Abby grabbed Shelby's hand and kissed it. Very sweet! Both of our faiths are important to us and we want the girls growing up knowing both of them! Here are some pics from the baptism:

Special Weekend Ahead

This weekend is going to be a special one! Not only is AZ celebrating his 1st Fathers Day with Shelby and 3rd with Abby, Shelby is going to be baptized in the Catholic church and presented in the Nazarene church this weekend. I tried her baptism gown on (she is wearing Abby's) to make sure it would fit. Abby then of course wanted to wear it too! We are looking forward to a fun, family filled weekend again!
