THE CIRCUS

So our month started out with going to the circus. I had seen it advertised on a bulletin one day on our way to work and thought now Abby would love that. So I invited a bunch of people to come to Denver and go to the circus, but the only ones who made it (although a different showing) were Colt and Ashley. Oh well though Great Grandma Rhea, Gong Suk (Uncle Jeff), Abby and I had a great time. I believe Abby's favorite things were the animals. The horses, elephants, tigers, and a few others. She kept telling me that she wanted to ride them. So not that she has told me but if I had to guess what she wanted to be when she grows up at this point is probably an elephant riding girl in the circus. :) lol. The above picture with the big cotton candy grin is one of my favorites.

Abby and I dressing up in circus clothes during the pre show.

In the pre show this elephant painted a picture they had a raffle for later on in the show.

So she has this obsession with motorcycles. So of course she was very excited to see this during the pre show. Sadly they didn't do anything with it in this particular show.

They made this elephant disappear and since their was audience on both sides it is still beyond me how they did it.

I just loved this one of Uncle Jeff.

Husband and Wife getting readyto be shot out of the giant cannon. It was pretty cool.

Abby looks a little cranky but I loved Grandma's expression on this one!

Crazy gymnastic like guys flying between these apparatus things. Also pretty cool.

Multiple elephants doing stuff together in sync.
You just have to laugh at this one!

The tiger show wasn't very long but we thought it was still kinda cool.

Tigers
End of the circus. She was getting a little bit tired.

Of course after it was all over and Abby saw this photo booth she wanted to ride the tiger. This one was taken with my camera and didn't turn out as cute as the one that I paid to have taken.

This is Abby in her magic hat that came with the really expensive bag of cotton candy. It was really funny. Gong Suk bought the cotton candy and awhile later Grandma was thinking about getting some popcorn, but decided to ask how much the cotton candy was first. After Jeff said it was $10 for the bag she decided she could wait till we got home for popcorn.

So last Friday on my day off Grandma Rhea, Abby and I went shopping. I was looking for some tights for Abby's halloween costume, but we ended up finding some other stuff along the way too. Mainly a few Halloween decorations. I would have to say that Abby's favorite would be the two new skeletons we got. She even named them.....Scream and Bob. I have no idea how she came up with those either. So on day one Bob broke his leg off. Gong Suk (Uncle Jeff) told her that he would fix it the next day. Although he was planning on doing it after she went to bed because it would involve super glue and didn't figure having Bob stuck to her would be a good thing. : ) Well he forgot and the next night when it was time for family prayer she brought Scream and one legged Bob. She then asked, "Where's Bob's other leg?" to which Gong Suk responded, "It's a leg it walked off." She thought for a second and said, "Oh no poor Bob's leg" It was even in this sad little voice. It was hillarious! Anyways Bob went into surgery right after family prayer and recovered sleeping on the table over night, but she made sure he had a blanket to stay warm. After that at night she lets Scream sleep in her bed, but Bob has to sleep in the dresser drawer all closed in. Last night I asked if Bob could sleep in the bed with Scream and she quickly responded, "NO". Anyways, she likes sleeping with Scream. I thought it was pretty darn cute so last night I got some pictures. Then tonight I thought I better get a few more pics where you can see them both a little better. Its cute she makes them dance and hold hands and go for walks. Too darn funny! Its fun to watch her imagination grow!





Seriously who needs soft fuzzy stuffed animals when there are skeletons to go to sleep with? ; )

So I just have to share a funny story from tonight. I was washing Abby's face getting her ready for bed. I was wiping her mouth which was covered with raspberries and chocolate milk. She tells me, " Don't wipe my lips off mom." Then as I finish she looks in the mirror and says, " Oh no they're gone" She is such a little character!! She is always making me smile! I can't even imagine my life without her now.

One more.

So Sharon, my mother-in-law, gave us a gift certificate to go get family pictures done like two years ago. Well, we decided to go this past Saturday and get them done. I think it is something that Abby will really be able to enjoy when she gets older. We also had some done of just her and I thought I would share some of my faves!












Ok, so I got a little carried away and there is more than just a few, but oh well whatever. Let me know which ones you like the best.

FUN TIMES AT GRANDPA AND GRANDMA'S HOUSE

Playing with Little Foot and Sarah Land Before Time puppets. One of her new favorite movies.

I think it might be easier to play with them on your hands, but she liked them on her feet.

Abby went to see the Easter Bunny and quite enjoyed doing so. Going to see the Easter Bunny is a much different experience than going to see Santa Claus. He isn't as popular which is kinda nice. No waiting in lines. We got there and walked right up and took our time because there wasn't anyone behind us. What a tough job for the Easter Bunny to sit there all day roasting to death and listen to the rock station on the radio.

Dressed up all cute to go see the Easter Bunny

Abby and the Easter Bunny

We ended up going to Cokeville for Easter. Lots of fun times there. The only bummer was not getting to see the Dwinell family, but there will always be next time. I don't have hardly any pics because during egg dyeing and everything else I was either using mom's camera or counting on someone with a better camera to be getting good pics. Now I just have to wait for them all to make me a copy of the cd so I can use the pics. So if you were at Cokeville for Easter when I was.....Mom, Heather, Amanda...........please make me a cd. Thanks!! Heath you should also post a pic of our cute Easter cake pops we made. They were so much fun and turned out really cute. Not to mention they were delicious. Hmm...what else did we do there that was fun and exciting? Rock Band always a good time. The kids loved the pilates balls. They really liked to sit on them and then you roll them off. Everett's new puppy Lainey is very cute. I only received two minor injuries from her. lol Oh yes, we also did a baby shower for Heather while we were there. Aunt Janet and the girls came down. Grandma and Grandpa Dunn also came over. So good to see all of them it had been a really long time. Abby was the entertainment telling Morgan that the skull on her shirt was ugly. She is such a little attention getter and loves being in the spotlight. She has also decided to rename Katlin KiKi. I don't know how she even came up with that, but it stuck. So among our travels we also got to see Mallory and meet her fiance. I got to see one of my best friends Ashley who I haven't seen in years and meet her fiance and his friend. We actually stopped to see them on Easter Sunday where Abby got to play with some other kids and do an Easter egg hunt. The adults all had fun playing mad gab where the girls totally smoked the guys!! Abby loved seeing Krista, Sean and Bowen at Uncle David and Aunt April's house. Along with their bull dog Hootch who loved her and tried licking her to death. I think Hootch weighs about twice as much as Abigail. It was so good to see everyone!! I hate living so far away, but it was really enjoyable getting to spend time with so many people I care about. I can't wait to see everybody again. Until then everyone take care and don't miss us too much!
