teach your kid not to bite please!

Abby got bit on the playground. No, not by a bug...by a kid that was at least a year older than her. Poor thing was really traumatized!

Yes, the little girl's mom was mortified her daughter would do that and apologized up and down. I didn't quite see what exactly went down, but it is possible Abby could have hit her in the first place...she's been know to do that.

On a better note...someone got a haircut and looks absolutely adorable! She was getting a bit shaggy!

♥ Mothers Day ♥

Have I ever mentioned all 3 of us are exactly 30 years apart?

My mom was born in 1949, I was born in 1979, and Abby in 2009.

Jess was out of town, so Abby was my buddy the whole weekend!

How can you not love that face?

picture time

The sun must have only been in my eyes....

Abby & Mikayla went to Disney on Ice and they actually sat through it!

Oops, this pic should be turned the other way. Abby and Mikayla are buds when they aren't busy taking toys away and hitting each other!

UVU Easter egg hunt. Abby only got 2 eggs. I hate to complain about a free event, but it was so sad to walk through the crowd and see faces of all the little ones that didn't even get one egg.

Jess, Abby, and great grandma

This is what happened when I tried to get a decent Easter picture of Abby.

Jess came to her rescue. He gets mad at me when I try to take too many pictures.

Egg hunt at grandma and grandpa Johnson's house.

indoor climbing gym...in our garage

So, Jess is building a climbing wall in our garage.

He took the panels from another climbing wall that was in his friends barn. Yes, the grafitti is ghetto to me, but it is nostalgic to him since he used to climb in that barn all the time. He thinks it is awesome, so...so be it!

A 3 car garage was a must for Jess when we were doing the whole house hunt for this purpose. There will be more walls coming off the side of the main part. I was a little hesitant about all this at first, but what the heck...maybe I will get strong from it!

One thing I am not psyched about is all the banging and pounding way past Abby's bedtime. Abby actually asked me if she could go night night the other night, so I had to put a stop to the drilling!

I will post more when it is completely finished!

So, this is what happens at parties when you get older...

It was a rager!

amazing

Jess and I saw Arcade Fire last night. Definitely in my top 5 favorite concerts of all time.



Although, I swear I am a magnet for obnoxious people at concerts. Every show I go to there is some ass hat standing right next to me doing something that makes me want to punch them. Yes, I have anxiety issues.

yee haw

(Don't mind the messy hair. I was lucky to get a clip in it.)

So the other day we were at Denny's in Lehi for breakfast. Abby is just sitting there sipping her OJ and starts saying "Yee haw. Yee haw." really loud. I know she says that when she sees Woody from Toy Story, so I looked around and saw 2 men with cowboy hats. It is really amazing what she is starting to pick up on these days.

I just love this little girl!
