Abby goes to Canada...Again!

During October my family took, yet another LONG trip to Canada. This time for my cousin's wedding. And this time we got pictures...not much but a few!

Day 1, Hour 2- Looking pretty good! Abby's got her "loops" and everything is good!

Between the US/Canadian border and Taber (the town where my aunt lives) there is this tourist information/museum kind of thing. It has a big statue of a dinosaur that provides the perfect picture oppurtunity. It has been tradition since I was a little girl to stop there to take a break. We ALL have a picture of us standing by the dinosaur, and this trip was no different.

This is the picture of me and the Dino when I was in Kindergarten. (It was the middle of the 80's...need I say more!)

18 years later, a new generation enjoys the thrill of being amongst the Dinosaurs.

Day 1, Hour 9 - Still looking good, but you should have seen her the last 7 hours. (Hence the lack of pictures in our progress!)

Here are just a few more pictures of Abby exploring the place. Abby had so much fun walking around, it was a rough experience putting her back into the carseat. (All you mom's know what I am talking about! )

Uncle Nick and Abby exploring a cave!

Abby on top of the world!

That's the end of the pictures (I don't know what happens), but we had a wonderful weekend. The wedding was beautiful and the food was WONDERFUL (seriously food tastes so much better in Canada), and it was fun to see everyone again. We look forward to the next little get-together.

Abby LOVES Olives!

Mmmm! Yummy!

We're Back!

I don't even want to talk about the last..what...three months!

So let's skip the excuses and get down to business. :)

On Sept 27th Abigail turned into your classic 1 year old. She began walking the same day. (We have video of her first steps, but we don't have to cord to download to our computer. So you'll just have to trust us.) Anyways we celebrated her birthday with food, fun, cake, and presents. Abby especially loved the attention...and the CAKE! She did not have to be coaxed into trying the cake... she dug in with both hands first thing.

The cake was so good she even wanted to share. Here she is shoving a piece of SLOBBERY cake into Uncle Cody's mouth!

After she finished her cake (well not the whole thing) and we got her cleaned up, it was time to open presents. I think she enjoyed this almost as much as her cake. It was fun to watch her get excited. (Once again we have footage of this but it is stuck on our camera! Sorry). Anyways Mark and I got her a shopping cart with food and a baby doll. She LOVED (and still loves) her doll. She gives her hugs and kisses and pushes her around in the cart. It is adorable. After all the present were opened, it was amusing to watch Abby go from one toy to the next and to the next. She couldn't decide on what toy to play with first. Anyways Abby had an eventful and memorable birthday party, and we can't wait for the next one. Happy Birthday Abby!
