Ballerina Abbey!





















Abbey absolutely LOVED her first ballet class this past Wednesday. It was so cute to watch nine three year old girls completely follow and try everything the teacher told them to do. The little girl in the pictures with Abbey is her good buddy Ava, who is also in her preschool class.


















It was a good reminder that my child DOES listen when someone tells her to try or do something :). Ha!


















Make sure to see the video on youtube! I shot it through the door window so I wouldn't interrupt class!

Lilly's First Rooster Pony








Lilly is sporting her first rooster pony (aka "Pebbles") in these photos. This was also the first time she has worn the leopard pants and jewel toed ballet flats. She new she was a diva and she loved it! Abbey was at school so we were just enjoying our morning together :)

Labor Day Weekend

It's been a pretty relaxing weekend. We started out by having the Buker's and the Brewster's over for an early birthday celebration for Tracy. In the picture above, we have finished eating and the kids are leading us in "Itsy Bitsy Spider". The next few are before we ate and a shot of me with the birthday girl.







Peter and Abbey were tuckered out on Friday night, and this is a shot of both of them asleep by 8 on her bean bag. I can't believe how crazy her arms are in the photo!

Pete took these pictures of the girls goofing around and putting the bucket on their heads.











The girls posing for the camera.






Abbey's First Day of Preschool!!!!

Her first day was August 17th and she absolutely loves school!


Miscellaneous Phone Photos

Here are a bunch of my iphone photos that I sometimes upload to facebook or just text out to friends. This is Abbey in her super cute, but super lined (aka hot) dress she picked to wear on a 100 degree day. As my friend Robin put it, she already makes sacrifices for fashion!




I took these shots after giving the girls Nutella on toast. It was a big hit!











Having a sweet treat in Couer d'Alene:

Abbey's Catch Air 3rd Birthday Party!

We celebrated Abbey's third birthday on the same day we had our photoshoot with Laura Brett. The smartest decision I might have made for that day was to have Abbey's party at Catch Air: all we had to do was pick up her Barbie cake on the way there, they provided everything else and did all the clean up. Catch Air is a favorite of Abbey's; it's a large building full of blow up slides, ball pits, merry-go-rounds, and various other toys that all the kids love.

Abbey with all her friends!

Head first!

Happy girl!

I love this one, you can almost hear her screaming as she goes down the slide!

Lilly loves the Merry-Go-Round.
