April 2015

Abbey got a hold of my phone and took a selfie.  This is one of my favorites of her silly faces.  :)

One evening Grandma Zimmerman had the girls overnight for us, so Eric and I went out to eat.  With Millie of course.

Grandma Zim always does fun activities with the girls.

Here we are at a restaurant with Eric's family while his dad was in town.  We even had my niece Chloe with us that night.  

Very creative and healthy fun with Grandma Zimmerman

Coming back from an Easter Egg hunt with the Allen/Schmitz families

Three months old!

I love this little lady.

This is her official 3 month old picture (April 3, 2015.)

Handmade slippers for me and my girls (including Millie!) from Joann and her mom.

The girls love 'em.

Eric had a lesson in Young Men's on adversity.

He took it upon himself to create this funny, yet wise and thought-provoking flow chart for the boys entitled, "Eric's Totally Awesome Adversity Flow Chart."

He quotes scriptures and prophets in it and he provides some other insight that I think is freaking AMAZING! So proud of my funny and wise man.

Dyeing Easter eggs.

Easter Egg hunting at Grandma Luke's

Eric at lunch with his brother James.  He was kind enough to text me this picture...only to rub in the fact that they were at one of my favorite fast food joints.

Fun hairdos.

Eric and his brother Doug trained for a half marathon together.

Here they are on race day!

At the park with Andi one Sunday afternoon

Trying on her Daddy Michael's hat

What was written at the bottom of Abbey's report card.

She's amazing.  And of course, got top scores in every category.

She's feeding HERSELF!  Wha?!

A copy of the announcement I was finally able to get out to everyone.

My girl bein' awesome

I love the sight of tiny baby clothes drying in the laundry room.

One Saturday I took the girls on a walk to the gas station for a very nutritious lunch (corn dogs and potato logs :)) and then we trekked to the city library for some books.

A fun and memorable afternoon with my ladies.

.....Even Millie got to go on the outing.

Checkin' out cousin Luke's old "Exersaucer."

Can you believe she's big enough to be in that thing?!  Well, she sort of is.  Still got a bit of a wobbly head, but she's doing great.

And she's got some good sisterly support along the way.

My first mother-in-law, Cathi, moved out of her duplex pictured here.

I spent an afternoon there helping her pack up the odds and ends.

It was a bittersweet thing driving away from that house for the last time.

Many memories made there.

Grandma Cathi's new house

Sometimes, as with many babies, depending on the expression and light, you can see different family features at different times.

In this particular picture, I see my sister Lori.

She's got Luke in there somewhere!

My mom dropping off Andi after one of their afternoon reading sessions.

My mom helps us so much.

My Target shopping buddy.  However short-lived. :)

Eric at a Bee's game with his Young Men

So proud of Eric for being a faithful Young Men leader :)

The Young Men got asked to dress up as fruits and veggies for the baseball game's half-time.

Josh Miner, Eric, A BEE, Daniel Montgomery, and Paul Barker, the YM Pres

Eric's good buddies

Grandma lovin' on her girl

Eric on an early morning run, taking in the beauty.

He's been training for a bunch of races and he's stayed so dedicated. 

He always gets good views from the Legacy trail he likes to run on.

She's getting tired of the Exersaucer here

Another thumb-sucking picture.

Can't get that thing outta' her mouth.

One cloudy Sunday afternoon, Eric took the girls to Pond's Park in Kaysville to feed ducks.

...Just 'cuz they needed an out.

Nothing more attractive than a good dad.

They make me smile

Loving that swing
