Abigail is 1!

How did this happen?!!
I never really understood the meaning of time until we had Abigail. And I honestly can't believe our baby girl is one! This past year has brought so many adjustments to our lives, but we wouldn't trade it for the world.

Miss Abigail we love you so much. You are such a happy little girl and have been since the day you were born. You love fruit, crawling around and especially waiving to everyone you see. You love your pink blanket and a stuffed monkey named Bonzi that is your uncle Kenny's. You say lots of words like Mama, Dadda, uh oh, Hello, Lucy, Ma Ma (grandma) & nana (banana, which we are pretty sure means anything pertaining to food). You can sign the word more, thanks to your Aunt Rachael. You don't walk but you sure do get around fast when you crawl! You have a few nicknames, Mommy & Daddy call you "Sunshine", Aunt Heather calls you "Abergail", Grandpa Carter calls you"B-gail", & Grandma Lynes calls you "Peanut"! Everyone loves you so much! We've been so blessed to have you Little Miss! Happy 1st Birthday!

Thanksgiving 2011

This was a year ago last Thanksgiving. Only 4 days before we got to meet our sweet Abi. I can't believe she's already one! (A post coming soon about this.)
Thanksgiving 2011- What a cute family!

This year was a little different than the last few years. We normally split the day with my parents and David's parents but this year my family was out of town. We sure missed them, but we had an amazing evening with the Carter Family.

So we spent a very lazy morning in bed with Miss Abigail, which the three of us enjoyed. :)
Looking for Daddy...
She's such a happy girl in the morning.
We met up with David's family at Nana & Papa's house for a great turkey dinner & pumpkin pie, yum! Here a few candid pictures from the night...
Handsome Mr. Colten!
Miss Abigail Reese :)
These two are only 4 months apart and are starting to play together. It's so much fun to watch them! I really wished I would have gotten a picture of them at dinner. They sat on the table together next to each other in their booster seats and were sharing food. It was so adorable!
"Carlie what ya doin'?"
Carlie was so sweet to Abi, she kept showing her what she was doing on the phone.
Kisses from Dad...
So happy!!!!
Kisses for Mom...
So happy!!! -She loves kisses, we love them too. :)
Abigail testing her mad picture taking skills on Papa. Not to bad if I do say so myself.
Awesome Aunt Heather and Colton
Grandma Kristi was so sweet, she put Abi right to sleep.
Abigail and Carlie were both so tired.

We had such a great Thanksgiving and loved spending time with David's family. We are so thankful to have such amazing family members and to live so close to all of them.

Happy (late) Halloween

Halloween is so much more fun when you have kids! We had such a great time at our ward trunk-or-treat. Abigail sat in the trunk and helped pass out candy, which she loved.
We have to thank her Aunt Ali for her adorable watermelon costume! Too bad she wouldn't wear her hat, but I can't complain at least I got her to wear a bow. :)



Helping pass out candy, don't mind the chili on her face she liked that too :)


Thanks Aunt Rach for coming to see me!
