First Day Photo Shoot



Dear Abby,
You have no idea how much I am going to miss your preschool self. I am going to desperately miss the moments when I ask to take your first day of school picture and you run off to make sure all of your favorite blankets and baby dolls are in the photo. Please, please, please stop growing. It's gone by too fast! And I only have one more year until you leave me everyday. You simply must do your best to slow down.

Love you,
Mom

Viva Lost Wages!


We had a more than exciting weekend! Starting off with the least exciting was our recent flood. We had a plumber come work on our house to repair a leaky pipe in the wall while we were doing our renovation. Well, he made the leak a lot worse. Apparently, it has been leaking for a while, but thankfully we had some guests in town this weekend which made our water use go up and it made the leak bad enough to really notice. If they hadn't have been here, it would have probably completely ruined our floor and caused a huge mold problem. Thank you for thoroughly flooding my house, Hales! I couldn't have done it without you :)

We have had these airport sounding blue fans blowing in our house all weekend long. On the bright side? I finally get to get rid of the gas station tile on my downstairs bathroom!

3 month old paint, dry wall, base mold, wood floors and doors...gone...sniff! Never been happier to be married to an attorney than I was when the plumber who did the work showed up to see what had happened...it was so very People's Court/Judge Judy/World Wrestling Federation/Pride and Prejudice. He is so my Mr. Darcy!

Now on to the good parts! This is Brandon and I at the Bellagio...and since we're from Las Vegas, we have a lot of pictures of us at the Bellagio...but none taken by the Hales family!! Our BFFs from Florida (the ones who fed us, held my hand through my first year of mothering, made us laugh, took us to the best restaurants ever, and taught me kanasta) were out on a tour of the west and stopped by to see us.

This is Abby and one of her favorite baby sitters ever- Brianna!

The Hales family! Thanks for letting us show you around our sleaze hole of a town! Glad we could do all the classics....the sign, the fountains, the buffet, the porn stuck to your shoe and the reaffirmation that we are truly on the top of the food chain of humanity.

Friday was Abby's final cheer leading performance. Proud of you little cheer star! Your teacher says you are a natural...and you know I thought you were the best!
