I got a new car!!!!!

So my little red truck got retired into the dealership on Friday afternoon after seeing me through almost the last ten years of my life. It was hard to say good bye....which is so funny since it's just a car.....lol.....but sometimes you have to say goodbye to the past to get to the future. So I got a 2008 PT Cruiser and I love it! It's like a car but like a small SUV too. There is plenty of room in the back for strollers and stuff and plus the seats come out.....so bonus....hauling room! But it is so wonderful and and we are so blessed that we could get this car. We got it at a steal and really got Way too much for my truck considering we barely rolled it onto the lot.....lol. So we are so happy and here are some pictures of my new ride!




And here are some random pictures of little miss Abrey....I haven't posted any in a while.

Squirrels and Raccoons

Abrey has this princess book and there is a page in the book of Snow White and then all these squirrels, birds, chipmunks, raccoons...well anyway Adam always reads to her at night and shows her different stuff in the books and squirrels and Raccoons are of course some of them. Well the other day she was flipping through the book and stopped at that page and was pointing at the squirrels and saying squirrels and then point at the raccoons and say coon....it was so neat and amazing.....she is becoming a kid now and I just can't believe it. She is just so smart and does so many thing and laughs like crazy and makes me laugh......God has really blessed my life with this little girl. In the begining....everyone always said "you will see, you will wonder how you ever lived without her". I thought....not me....well it has now sunk in and I could not imagine my life without her. Your children do become your world and without them it would just be shatterd. Anyway, enough reflection....I just hadn't posted in a while but I will take some pictures soon and post them.

One year check up

Abrey went for her one year check up yesterday and she now weighs 18 lbs 9.6 oz and is 29 3/4 inches long. She is in the 10% for weight and 75% for height. So she is evening out finally.....she had been so tall that she was so skinny. She also got three shots.....MMR, Varicella and Hep A....she was not at all impressed with the Dr. in the least and is for sure taking after her mother.....AAAHHHHH anyone who knows me knows how I was as a kid and adult with the Dr.....I have a long road ahead of me.....lol. Just to check her head circumference you would have thought they were cutting her head off........DRAMA QUEEN....lol. Anyway, she is great and right on target.....yeah for Abrey.

Future Architect.....maybe...it does run in the family..lol

Adam took Abrey over to his parents house on Sat and Mr. Pross was working on plans and stuff at the kitchen table and Abrey keep running over to him and wanting up in his lap and he would explain all the different things and she would just start talking to him and looking like she knew what she was doing....lol. Adam said it was so cute and took some pictures....who knows maybe she will take after Grandpa Mark, Uncle Bobby and Great Uncle Mark and become an architect...we will see.. There is also a picture of Abrey and cousin Emmy playing at Grandma and Grandpa's.

The backward wave

So Abrey does a backward wave when she is wanting something or saying hi to someone. It is so funny and cute. She cracks me up so much these days. She just is doing so much and is so animated that it is so neat to watch her each day. It took a really long time for me to get to this point......I had a rough start with motherhood but I think I am getting the hang of it now and I am really starting to enjoy it. Don't get me wrong.....there are many days that I am ready to throw in the towel but then she does something so sweet or cute or intelligent and it makes it all worth it. She is just so NEAT....lol....yes I said my kid is neat....lol. Anyway just my thoughts for the day.

Happy Early Birthday Abrey

We celebrated Abrey's birthday early this year because her birthday falls on a Tuesday and I work the following weekend so we went ahead and had it on the 31st. We had it at Peter Piper Pizza and it turned out really great. Here are some pictures

Abrey got her hair cut

So Abrey has these long irregular shaped "bangs" so we decided to give her a little haircut to even then out. Well.....we did and now she looks more like a boy....lol....with a mulet. So here are some pictures of her first hair cut and hopefully her hair will grow out fast.
