Catch up post

I've been traveling a lot and we've been so busy that I haven't had time to do many updates.  So here is a catch up post in pictures!

Our fig tree is out of control this year!  

Abby likes to pick some every day...and pose for pictures of course.

Static electricity anyone?

I went to Singapore in June for work and this is the sunrise after my 6am swim in the infinity pool 

on the 57th floor of our awesome hotel.    Oh - and those are fish...on my feet.  Fish pedicure, check!

Our community had a 4th of July parade.  

Just a firetruck or two and some people walking...but enough to make Abby the happiest girl there!

I obviously did not teach this to her....

Pony

Ride that pony, ride through town.
Ride that pony, don't fall down!

Abby sometimes gets a little distracted while playing t-ball!

Kid Wash

I saw this on a blog last week and decided we HAD to do this!  It's pushing 100 degrees and it's only June - I wanted something that would be fun, different and a good way for Abby to cool off while playing outside this summer.

And here it is - our very own "Kid Wash"!

Mini-Adele

Spanish

Abby speaks/sings Spanish all the time...and I finally convinced her to do it on camera!  Now to figure out what she's singing...

Waterpark

Matt and I both got off work a little early on a Friday afternoon, just in time to see Abby at her school waterpark.  She gets to go twice a week and absolutely loves it.

Under the "raining" rainbow!

Playing with cups

All lined up, ready to go back inside.

Bye Bye Waterpark!

Dance Class

Abby started her dance class this week!  I just want to eat her up she's so cute in her little leotard and ballet shoes.  We asked her several times what they did in class, and she doesn't say much.  But she did a couple poses...so maybe?  I'm hoping to catch some of it on the cameras they put in the room for parents to watch.

Trampoline fun!

Abby loves the "jumping place" so much and has gotten quite good at navigating the trampolines and turning them into slides. :)

T-ball!

Abby's class has been practicing T-ball and yesterday was their first big game.   It was the "Crazy 8's" vs. "The Lil' Niners"...i.e. Room 8 vs. Room 9.

They went all out and her class tie-dyed shirts as their jerseys, colored sun visors & we got "official" programs with her name in it.  All the parents came out and they were getting "warmed up" by running around outside and then everyone stood while the National Anthem played!

Each took a turn at bat, and a turn playing outfield.  Abby WACKED the ball and took off like a pro around all the bases!  That's my girl!!!

Getting ready!

Warming up by running the track

Listening to the anthem and waiting to start the game

Homerun!

Look at that girl go!

Room 10 came out with signs to cheer on the game

My "outfielder"!

My little T-baller

Alligator, Alligator

Abby's new favorite pool song:

Alligator, Alligator standing on the wall
Alligator, Alligator watch me fall!

(that's her in the pink swim cap)
