Last Hurrah before Tonsils Are Gone!

Well Doug and I took Abby out the night before her surgery.  She's always wanted to go bowling so we went to Jillian's to eat, play games, and bowl.  We finished the night at The Crepe Maker.  Notice the score- I beat Doug by 20 points, plus I had 4 strikes!

My Kids Love Spaghetti!

That's about all I have to say about that.  Abby informed me her favorite thing that I cook is spaghetti so I fixed it the other night.  You can see the mess that Elliott made!!

Doug Is the Best Dad!

I have to let everyone know what a great daddy Doug is to our children.  God has blessed me with not only a loving, caring husband, but He has blessed me beyond measure with an awesome father to my children.  

I have to say that I was a little worried about Doug being a daddy.  I mean, he never really liked kids to begin with.  When I was pregnant with Abby, he would change the subject whenever anyone would talk about parenthood and the upcoming change it would be in our lives.  You know how people are when you're pregnant.  They say things like, "Oh, your life will never be the same."  or "You better enjoy each other now because when that baby comes..."  All that talk literally scared the crap out of Doug!!!

But as soon as Abby was born, he found a love that neither one of us could explain or have ever imagined, and he has never once thought about anything other than being the best daddy possible to both Abby and Elliott.  I just want him to know that he is the best daddy EVER, and I could never be prouder! 

Redbirds Game

Saturday night we went to the Redbirds game with my parents.  Boy, was it crowded!  We are so use to going on a week day, but since my parents were in town, we decided to go with them.  Both kids LOVED it.  As you can see, Elliott didn't like Rockey too much!

Zoo Field Trip

I went with Abby on her first and  only field trip of the year.  We went to the zoo, and the day couldn't have been more beautiful!  I can't believe she'll be starting kindergarten in 3 months!

Dance Recital

Abby had her first dance recital last weekend.  For the exception of the black hootchie mama dress, we had a WONDERFUL experience.  She was a little star!  Hope you enjoyed the photos!

Date Night

We had what I guess you'd call a "date weekend" this past weekend.  Friday night we went to Love Shack at church.  We also grabbed some Starbucks with friends afterwards.  Saturday night we ate dinner at the Crepe Maker downtown, then watched a couple of movies.  It was great to have some quality time without the kids, but I did miss them!  I think Abby grew a foot while she was gone!!  Here we are at the Crepe Maker.  Talk about some fattening desserts!!!!  I probably gained five pounds!!
