Abby's learning to talk!


So we've hit the explosion, as far as learning new words goes. I'm sure there's more, I just can't keep track of them anymore, pretty much anytime you ask her to say a word, she'll at least try. One of the funniest things she does is try to imitate Buzz Lightyear (the kids have really been into Toy Story lately). She'll goes "oo -aynaawe-eeoon" (or so) and raise her hands up in the air, you can tell she's trying to say "to infinity and beyond!" because all the inflections and the amount of the syllables that she says are just right.

summer activities



Just a few pics I took the other day, I was practicing with small f-stops (large aparature) to get the foreground in focus and the background blurry. It could have been a bit better but it is hard to get a 3 year to stand still. This was even with bribes of candy.

Our last day at the san diego zoo

Abby thinking that the polar bears were getting too close:


okay, all I have to say is look closely:

some more old news

Here's a few photos that never made it up to the blog. Oh, and I updated my scrap blog with the pages I made from this last weekend. All pictures in this post have been unaltered.

WARNING: THESE PICTURES MAY GIVE THE ILLUSION THAT IT IS SUMMER. IT IS NOT SUMMER. TO FIND SUMMER YOU MUST FLY SOUTH.

It's been awhile...

I know it's been awhile since I last blogged (I did update my crafty site). We finally got our new camera (again). We did get some pictures with our old camera, I will post some here. I'm going away this weekend for a scrapbooking retreat so I should have some pages to upload on my other blog after I get back. And I've finished my work project (for the moment) so I should have a little extra time to blog a little more consistently!

Love, love, love this picture!

Going on a walk together (she loved the birds)...

In the swing...


Jamie set up these tracks in a circle, lay down on the floor, and just watched them go (see the video), it was too cute!



And some videos...
