Abby's 5th Birthday

I can't believe that my little girl is already five years old. Abby has the funniest personality! She loves to sing and dance around and loves to play with friends. Abby is a sweet little girl that has turned into a great helper for mom. Abby had a great bday this year and was so excited to get her first bike! Darren had to teach her how to ride it and especially how to use the brakes. Madison had a hard time not being able to play with Abby's toys or open the presents. We topped off the night with some yummy Chocolate cake which is Abby's favorite. xoxo Lindz

Abby got Hello Kitty lego's From Grandmas Rose and Grandpa


Abby's awesome new bike

Abby got clothes and polly pockets from Grandpa and Grandpa Gonzales. She also got a sleeping beauty toy and a dress up from the Roberts.

Touring Seattle Day Two and three

During our second day touring Seattle we were able to go on a boat tour of the bay, go to the Seattle Aquarium, Eat at Red Robin for Abby's bday, and check out Pikes Market. The Third day we went to the Woodland Park Zoo and had fun looking at all the animals. On Sunday we took a drive to see a big water fall that I can't remember the name of. Anyway it was cool! It was so much fun getting to go out and enjoy the tourist attractions. The best part is that it was really sunny everyday we were out! xoxo Lindz

I am pretty sure this monkey is the loudest on  in the world. I could here him all over the zoo.

Madison is truly at home climbing the bamboo with the monkeys.

Checking out the waterfall.

I wish we could have hiked down to the bottom but I am 8 1/2 months prego and it didn't sound like a good idea.


Touring Seattle with Grandpa and Grandma Gonzales

On our first day touring Seattle we went to the Space Needle, the EMP Museum, and the Pacific Science Center. The kids had so much fun getting to see everything and especially enjoyed the Science Center. Darren and I have been before but it was so much fun with the girls. xoxo Lindz

Abby thought it was great to use the squirt gun to make the pinwheels go.
Madison thought it was great to just shoot stuff with water.


They have a great little kids area at the Science Center. my kids could have spent all day there.

Darren put the kids inside the Tornato simulator. It was seriously hilarious!

They had this weird projector at the EMP museum that made your shadow look like a monster.


Easter

We had so much fun this year celebrating Easter at our new place in Washington. The girls had a blast decorating eggs and having an Easter Egg hunt. They are both getting so big and it is getting more fun to celebrate holidays with them. xoxo Lindz

Abby is so proud of her glitter egg  that she made by herself.

Abby found a bunch of chocolate eggs. I am sure that I will gain an extra 10lbs from them!

Surprise visit from Aunt Courtney and Grandma Rose

Aunt Courtney and Grandma Rose came to visit us in Seattle  for spring break. When we went to pick up Courtney from the airport we found Grandma Rose  at baggage claim! This would not be unusual except that I did not know that she was coming! SURPRISE! We had a fun time making new baby bedding and visiting downtown Seattle. We had fun at the aquarium and walking around the pier. We also drove up to the Space Needle so they could look at it up close. It was really fun to have them some to our house and visit! xoxo Lindz
