First Pig Tails


Abby's first pig tails! They look a little messy because holding down a 17 month old and trying to fix their hair is near impossible. I remember when I was growing up this was my favorite way to wear my hair. In fact, I'm surprised I don't have a permanent part from wearing pig tails every single day until I was too old and it didn't look cute anymore! She was so funny looking in the mirror and checking out her new do. You can see by the smirk on her face in the Blog title photo that she was loving this new hair style!

Memorial Day visit to Alabama

Nana and Pop got to spend some good times with the grandkids.

Abby had a great time playing with her cousins Bryleigh and Brody.

For some reason, Abby really like to roll around on the doormat just inside the door on mom's deck. She would just walk over to it, lay down, and then commence to rolling around.

Nana and her grandkids would site on the deck and look at the neighbors cats, the gold fish, watch it rain, or anything else that passed by. We had a great time with our family.

Abby and Bryleigh shared a wagon ride at the local elementary schools Spring Day.

Brody and his friend were acting goofy. I think they had a little too much Kool-aid.

Nana holds her two granddaughters.

Brody's team had just won the tug-of-war challenge. They were a little excited (as you can tell from the kid on the right).

Brody has been eating a green sucker. Needless to say his teeth were just a slight shade of green.

Abby makes "the face"

Bryleigh loves her Nana and rests on her shoulder at the Spring Day event.

The second most beautiful girl in the world. Her momma is the first.

The Blogging shall soon return....

So I have one more official day with my students taking exams and one more full week of work and I will be off for the summer. I love being a teacher!! Don't ask me the week before spring break how much I love it!
I have become such a lazy blogger, not really lazy, just busy with a soon to be 17 month old and working full time can be pretty consuming at times. I cant wait to be at home with Abby all summer so I can soak up all of my mommy time with her. I also hope to be blogging more frequentlytand posting some new videos. Blogging will also be a great distraction from my summer cleaning/organizing to-do list.
