Once a week

This seems to be how often that I will really be able to post, when Paul is able to take a few moments to put my pictures up! My blog just doesn't seem worth doing much without pictures, there is just so much that they do for it. Abbi was splashing up a storm in the tub on Tuesday night and I thought of putting "Ant Killer" as the title of one because she splashed so much that there were puddles of water on the floor and it had drowned the ants home and I could see little ant bodies on the bathroom floor but it wouldn't have been as good without the pictures. She loves to splash and usually she doesn't get to, Alona most times is in there with her and yells at her to stop it. Alona does not like the water that much. Our bathroom floor was soaked.

Abbi is starting to learn to be potty trained. She likes to go occasionally, but then some days when I ask her to go she tells me "No Way". She does best with nothing on her at all or just loose fitting pants . When I put pull ups or panties on she has no desire to go to the potty. She is a fruit, she only wants to go when she is in a good mood, if she has just woken up from a nap or is not happy for some reason, then there is no way she will go. She loves going and sitting on the potty when we are anywhere but has yet to actually use those potties yet. She is doing great to me atleast she knows when she has to go and has somewhat of a desire to start, eventually it will be a full pledged thing!

Paul wasn't able to go to Abbi's birthday party at Thanksgiving Point, he was too sick. Glad that he was able to see her on her birthday though. He had the day off though he had to use it for a sick day instead of a fun day with his family. He needed it, he got much better I could tell the difference in him from Friday to Saturday night.

Abbi had a great birthday, we went to the Museum of Ancient Life at Thanksgiving Point. She spent more time with her grandparents and her cousins and aunt Crystal than with her Mommy ( I was busy feeding her brother) but she was happy! They had a station where kids got to play in the water with sand and have fun and then there was a quarry where they got to dig in the sand and unearth bones that were buried beneath. Abbi had a Barney cake and got some fun presents, a elmo aqua coloring book, the color appears when you use the special crayon that has water in it. A big thing of bubbles, Abbi loves bubbles! A coloring book and crayons, two outfits. The Monster at the End of This Book, its a boardbook! Abbi loves this book, she brings it to me and says "Monser, Monser" she loves me to read the Monster! She looked so darn cute in her little apron while she playing in the water and the sand, I'll have to wait for that picture Paul forgot to upload it. Val and Ruth played with her, Val even climbed underneath the sand table to be right next to her playing. Grandma Wood made her an elmo blanket. And lots of hair things and a pretty necklace and bracelet from grandma Ruthie.

A few days after Abbi's birthday Abbi got a recorder in the mail from aunt Laura, now they play together. Alona our goofy one! They have enough instruments to start a band, they love music, now just to teach them.
