So this is Abby's favorite book right now. She even asked the librarian while we were at the library the other day for story time for the book "eats bugs". She and Emma both are very fascinated by bugs. I try to tell them that bugs are gross. Emma agrees, but Abby just tells me "bugs are yummy"! I used to tell her that there were bugs in her ears or in the bath tub so that she would let me clean out her ears or not drink the bath water (got that from my mom...thanks mom) but it really doesn't work anymore because she she tells me that they taste good! I am just waiting to catch her actually eat a real bug..I mean she used to when she was a lot smaller..I would find half earwigs in her mouth on a few occasions. Anyway just thought that I would share Abby's favorite book (which by the way is a pretty cute book..Emma thinks its funny and just says "yuck" the whole time...at least she gets it)

UNbirthday party

No, it wasn't Abby's birthday (that isn't until July) but she woke up from a nap..yes, crazy abby took a nap. Anyway, she was determined to have a birthday party. So, what does daddy do? He runs her to the grocery store to pick out a birthday cake and we had to sing to her and everything!! It was actually fun, I just hope she doesn't expect a party whenever she wants and can actually wait for her real birthday! I think she is stuck on it being her birthday lately because I made the mistake of telling her that her baby brother would be coming for her birthday (he is due the day before). So really I guess the birthday thing is my fault she is just lucky to have such a good daddy!! I mean dad (she doesn't like him to be called "daddy" anymore its just "dad" now..go figure)

bedtime stories

I just wanted to share some pictures of my sweet girls. This is Abby trying to read Emma a book before bedtime. We have a bedtime routine and part of it is to read them a few books before they go to bed...and Abby wanted to take over this night.

ITS A....

BOY!!! Yes,we went yesterday to find out what the baby is. My actual ultrasound wasn't scheduled until April 1st, but I couldn't wait that long and (with some help) convinced Aaron to go to prenatal imaging so we could find out early. So it's a boy and we are very excited!! I will admit I was thinking they would say girl so when I heard boy I was a little shocked and didn't really know what to think. Abby and Emma went with us and Abby was so cute talking to the baby on the big screen...she even sang to him. She is now ok about having a brother..for the longest time she said "no boy". She has already asked today to watch "cute baby brother" on the DVD they sent home with us. It just makes my heart melt how she just loves this baby already. So now the fun begins getting ready to have a little boy in our home. I just hope Aaron and I can agree on a name...since we haven't EVER been able to agree on a boy name since we have known each other.

Dancin' Machine

Okay, so maybe it's not "quality family time," but it was a blast. Abby and Emma were begging to play Dance Dance Revolution, so we told them that if they ate their whole dinner "all gone" they would get to play. They did, so they did. Emma is a little bit easier to distract, but when Abby gets to dancing, she doesn't stop. In the game, there is a character that dances on the scree and Abby tries her best to imitate. It is hilarious. We are proud of our little dancers.

Ruff Life

This is our cute little Emma...What would it be like to be able to just fall asleep whenever and where ever?!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AARON!!

Today is Aaron's Birthday!! He is now 27 years old...i know he is getting up there! We celebrated his birthday yesterday (since he left us today to go on a scout ski trip). We didn't do anything really exciting because Emma has been so sick. So we kept it just us and our friend Eddie. Abby and Emma helped make a chocolate cake which Abby called a chocolate chips cake. It was really good...and I would have shown a picture of itso you could see how well the girls decorated it, but Aaron took the camera with him. So you will just have to look at how adorable he was a a little boy!! These pictures are my favorites...I just think he was so dang cute (i guess he still is)...looking at pictures of Aaron (most of which I couldn't find to post) you can just tell he and Abby are a lot alike.
