Abby has been in love with showers lately so when she was outside and the sprinklers came on she had no problem jumping right in! It took her about five minutes to be completely soaked! When she realized she was all wet she just stood in the middle of the grass yelling I am all wet wanting one of us to go and get her. Finally she came back to the driveway shivering! If I would have known she was going to run through the sprinklers I would have gotten the soap and shampoo!
Abby and I went with my mom, sister Brooke and sister Courtney to Hogle zoo last week. Abby had so much fun looking at all of animals and even had to go back for a second look at the Monkeys! She would grab my camera and tell me to "take a picture mommy!" I think her favorite part was the train ride around the zoo. It was a great little adventure that knocked her out for nap time! xoxo Lindz
We went to Lake Powell this year at the end of July for family vacation. It was beautiful weather and the water was up about 20 ft from two years ago when we went. We had so much fun with Darren's family. Abby had fun playing in the water with her cousins and riding on the wave runners with daddy. She had some problems figuring out how to work the life jacket so she just held on to Daddy when it got to deep! Darren even convinced Abby to go off the house boat slide three times! Darren had a little to much fun on the wave runners and has a few big bruises to show for it! It was so nice to relax on the water! 
Having fun swinging at the park!
Daddy and Abby!
Going to ride the Wave Runners!
Hang on tight!
Abby and Daddy swimming!
Abby and Daddy Again!So I did manage to finally update my blog with my latest pictures! Abby and I had so much fun visiting my parents in New Mexico. We usually only go to visit like once a year but this year we were lucky enough to get to go twice! The first pictures are the ones we got taken for Darren for Fathers Day! It was fun to get our pictures taken together! Abby's cheeks are all red because it was like 100 degrees while we were getting them done! The rest are pictures of her swimming in the pool. She was swimming like 90% of the time down there so that is an accurate view of the trip! xoxo Lindz
Popsicles work the best in a swimsuit!
We went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago and found out that our little peanut is going to be another girl!! I was so excited! I now have less to prepare for since we have already gone down that road once before! I think Darren was secretly hoping for a boy but like we are trying to teach Abby.... You get what you get and you don't throw a fit!!! Anyway, we are so excited to get a new little member in our family. It become more and more real the more my somache grows and the baby kicks me!
In other news, Abby and I just got back from a two week vacation to New Mexico to see my parents for the summer!My sister Kristen went with her kids also so Abby had a couple of weeks to try to learn how to play with her cousins! I will get some pictures posted this week of our fun time in the sun! ( I am trying to update my blog more often! We will see how the summer goes!)

One of our neighbors gave us an old swing set that they used like 20 years ago with their kids. Abby loves to swing but we were to cheap to by her a new swing set. With a little bit of spray paint and some new swings we transformered this ugly little swing set into a cute updated swing set! Abby loves the swing set an has a fit everytime she has to go inside! ( don't look to close at the backyard. It isn't landscaped yet!)
