We have been having a fun busy summer. Here are a few shots from Bear Lake. We were spoiled enough to spend 10 days straight there! It was awesome! It's been so beautiful with the water all the way. I just look out and feel so nostalgic.
What else have we been up to?
-growing a baby :)
-lots of Bear lake
-fun afternoons at the local splash pad
-trying to stay cool
-playing in our brand new playhouse! (its way too hot outside so I made Zach set it up inside in the basement.) Thanks Zabriskie cousins!
-working, working, working. blah.
-getting Abbeys room set up and decorated. She loves her big girl bed!
-Abbey is potty training
-Getting Luke's nursery ready
-choosing paint colors. I honestly can't make up my mind. It's awful.
-Zach transferring to work from home. Yay for us! We love it!
-Endless other house projects involving yard planning, building furniture, painting furniture, installing shelves.
More pictures to share. I wish I could promise they would be posted, but we'll see. It isn't often I sit to process pictures lately. So, I'll try? I know you are all just DYING to see more pictures of our little family :)
We are so excited for baby Luke to come. I have 8 more weeks to go and have been so excited and nervous and sore (is everyone's second pregnancy a million times worse?! Okay I'm exaggerating, but common.) We are so grateful that he is on his way. It is overwhelming at times to think of all the years we waited and to just have another surprise blessing when we weren't sure we'd have any. It is absolutely amazing.
Abbey seems to be getting that a baby is on his way. I still can't decide if she will be overjoyed with a baby in the house or completely jealous. Probably a little of both.
Abbey is amazing. Perhaps I'm a little biased but I swear she is the cutest smartest funniest girl on the planet! I feel so lucky to be her mom.
A little about Abbey now
-She loves daddy more than anything on the planet.
-She is super attached to her blanket and binkie
-adores M.ickey Mouse
-loves to run
-is obsessed with her indepence. "do it! do it!" means she thinks she can do it herself. A lot of things she can. Some things she thinks she can, but cannot include tying her shoes, playing whatever song I'm playing on the piano, cutting up veggies, reaching the top shelves in the kitchen, and doing whatever project Zach is working on. And when she realizes that she can't do it? A dramatic fit of tears (luckily short lived.) Except for tying her shoes, she thinks she does it every time. Too funny.
-loves watering the plants and herself
-loves the idea of the splash pad, but mostly watches the other kids and will splash her hands in the water.
-hates sharing unless its her veggies
-is picky at home with food, but if she sees anyone other than mom or dad eating, will give it a try.
-loves the color blue and often requests wearing it, eating off of it, drinking out of it, or bathing in it. Yes the color.
-she loves to identify who's is who's. ie. Abbey's cup, mommy's cup, daddy's cup. Abbey's shirt, mommy's shirt, daddy's shirt. You get it.
-Has an ever growing vocab. We love her little words and sentences! Here are some of our favorites.
Hod you = hold me
mimmie = minnie mouse
gain! gain! = do whatever amazingly fun thing you are doing with me again
bobby= her blanket
ginky=binkie
baby luke = all of her dolls
poop! dowa! = means she's about to go #2 on her dora panties or pull ups.
runacks = fruit snacks
ticker = sticker
mojuse = more juice
Abbeyjuse = watered down apple juice, gatorade, etc.
daddyjuse = Coke zero :)
mok = milk
papajake = Grandpa Chris. he has a dog named Jake

Jen- she is beautiful!!! I can't believe how much she has grown. And your house looks awesome. It's funny because my parents have a dog named Boo. And they have been called "Grandma and Grandpa Boo" ever since Jayden could talk. I don't think my parents will ever be known as anything else by their grandchildren ;) I was excited to read an update!
