Middlebury

This past week we flew to Middlebury to visit the Heign side of our family.  It was my first flight alone with Abby and she did so good for me!  Heather met us in Detroit on the way there, and was able to fly to Atlanta with us on the way back...but the rest of the flights were just me and her. :)

She had a BLAST and Matt was afraid she wouldn't want to come home!  I loved seeing everyone again and wish we could go more than once a year.  We got to see Abby's two 2nd cousins as well.  I just wished we lived a little closer...or maybe there was a easier flight to get there!

Here are some pictures.  I'll be adding more later that aren't just of her, I promise there were others there to!

Dallas Aquarium

At the end of July we drove up to Dallas to celebrate mine and my Mom's birthdays.  We decided to do something a little different and went to the Dallas Aquarium!  We had a big group: Me, Matt, Abby, Heather, Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Dick, Teri, Chris, Casey and Olivia!  The aquarium is so nice and such a fun place to go on a super hot summer day!

Everyone that went needs to send me their photos so I can post them!

Haircut!

We decided to take Abby to get her haircut professionally to try and shape up the back and cut some bangs.  While they didn't do much, I think it's much cleaner looking now.

The place we took her to is really cute.  Called Pigtails & Crewcuts - it was filled with toys, cute chairs, and suckers...which kept Abby relatively happy.  We were worried for nothing!

Round and Round!

I love watching the daycare video while working!  Today I got to see all the kiddos holding hands and going "round and round" in a circle.  I wish I could just play all day!

Here is a screen shot - Abby is at the bottom in the pink dress!

SeaWorld and San Antonio

Matt and I decided we need to take a little family weekend vacation over the 4th of July holiday.  So we invited my family along as well, and all went down to SeaWorld San Antonio, then spent a night at the JW Marriott Hill Country Resort & Spa (which is amazing!).

This was Abby's first hotel stay and she rocked it!  She was so happy to do whatever we wanted to do and was a trouper even though it was over 100 degrees each day!

Here is a little sampling of our trip in pictures!  Keep checking back, I'll be adding pictures to the album.

Water Dino!

Check out Abby's new Dino water float!

Father's Day

For Father's Day this year we went out to lunch on Lake Travis at a new place called Uncle Billy's.  Then we drove downtown to see Orion that was making a stop in Austin on it's way to NASA in Florida before we headed over to Austin Children's Museum again.  Seems this years Daddy's Day was centered around Abby instead of Matt, but hopefully he still had a good day. :)

Texas Fight!

Hungry Kitty

Swimming!

We had fun again this weekend swimming in our pool.  Abby has decided she loves kick boards, and also the big adult slide!!!  We had to remove a crying baby from the pool because she just wanted to go down over and over and over.   Which means Mommy or Daddy has to go down over and over and over because she really shouldn't even be on it!  I didn't have our camera on us this day, but this is the slide (the large tan one in the background):

And here is her learning beginning surfing:
