Happy 1st Abby!

the birthday party sunday. Today (the 15) is Jen's birthday, so the party was combined! happy birthday jen!



both little boys thought they would just get a head start on the cake...


waiting for the cakes to be lit....
one of her new toys




mary and her fiance. to be married april 10.
andrew and carter in their new basketball clothes from aunti jen.
she woke up pretty fussy from her nap. i think that crowds are too much for her most of the time, she just doesn't know what to do with a lot of people around.
the little dress my mom sent. she wore it to church. SO cute!

she was just so cute saturday night. we went to pei wei, i had mongolian beef of course (pf changs owns pei wei) and then we did a little running around shopping, always fun. dan had gone to March Madness in las vegas thurs-sat with his friend jeremy so me and mary and

you could say she is "happy go lucky". thats what her shirt says anyways.

sweet.



like andrew and the crown in the background?

see? thats where i got a shot! one in each arm and one in the leg. poor baby! but its for her own good...at one year her stats were:

29.5 in (i think around 60 percentile)

21 lb (around 51 percentile)

18 in head (70 percentile- when she was born it was in the 12th percent!)
my new outfit. one of them...i love the shoes!

walking!
crazy hair. after i had taken piggies out.
andrew and his friend cami reading. they play a lot together.

i love you forever, i'll like you for always, as long as i'm living my baby you'll be.


me and jen on friday
mary and me
our happy one year old!
our birthday princess

another one of my favorites. she is just so cute.

this is my sister mary. she likes to think she has a cleft lip. its something she does really well. and it always makes me laugh.
sweet little baby. covered in cake. and below is how andrew eats a cupcake. no cake. just frosting.


this pic (above) is my favorite i think. it shows her adorable, sweet, happy baby girl self that she is. she is so fun to have around, i can't imagine life without this little sunbeam. she is so sweet and innocent. and she is usually such a happy little lark.
the birthday party on friday

"who's ready to have some FUN?!"




taking off the paper for the cupcake....

Happy Birthday to You abby!
the cupcakes for her birthday party. i love the stacker! the big cupcake on top was abbys.

the face above is so funny. she likes to do that face now.

she loved the balloons

these pics were from her actual birthday.
good morning! she got pigtails. a new favorite. i think they are so cute on her!

So one year ago, our little abigail was born!!! its so hard to believe my baby is ONE!!! much harder to believe than when andrew turned one. she's come so far! i haven't had time to edit the pictures on picnic, but here they are. maybe i'll edit some later and upload them. i just have about 120 something that i deem "good", so its going to be a picture overload, and i don't have the time or energy right now to edit them all... but i think they turned out pretty fun. Friday we had a friends party, my friend carlie came up with her baby Timothy (who turns 1 like this week or next i think), and crystal and her kids, and jen and mary, and kristi and her kids. so that was fun. then sunday we had a family party , i made ice cream (which i think was a hit;) ) and lynn brought a cake from Mrs. Backers (is that how its spelled?) that was great! and we had brownie bites and abby had a brown and pink cake that i made. it didn't turn out perfectly, i think i should have done another coat of pink frosting before i did the brown. i was going to do the brown just dots, but i didn't end up getting fondant so i did swirls. anyways, well enjoy the pics!
