Abby turns one (on July 27th)!!!

Happy Birthday Abigail! We Love you!

We took her to her favorite place in the afternoon...the pool!

She loves this little fountain. It kept coming up and getting her face.


Some shots before the party.

Still not quite sure about it.

Abby loved her presents

Abby's stats: She has 6 teeth, 10 fingers, and ten cute toes:) I can't find the paper with her real stats so I will have to fix that later! For her birthday we had homeade macaroni and cheese (thank you Pioneer Woman) and pigs in a blanket. Abby had her first cupcake. She wasn't sure what to do with it at first, but then she tried the frosting and decided it was worth snarfing down. We just had our immediate family over so it was Brady, Raquel, Ashley, and my mom. It was a great day with my cute girl.

Abby's 1 year old photo shoot

Brandon's cousin Jana took Abby's one year old photos and since there are too many good ones to have a favorite I had to post a bunch (I'm sure the grandparents won't complain though!) There are still a ton of other ones that I love too! Thanks Jana, you're awesome:)

Pioneer Day

We didn't do a whole lot on pioneer day to celebrate but we did have fun! In the morning, Brandon and Brady surprised me, Raquel, and Ashley by sending us to the spa for pedicures. After the spa we went to the Ryan's for a BBQ and swimming and then we ended the day with a trip to park city for some outlet shopping!

My little shoplifter!!

Visit with Grandma and Grandpa Hess

We must not have been very entertaining on the way to Brigham City

Grandma and Grandpa Hess are amazing. If the world is ever coming to an end you will find us at their house:) They are the most self-sufficient people I have ever met, everything we had for lunch came out of their garden. They must have atleast a year supply of food storage with all kinds of dried fruits and vegtables, herbs, water, wood, and anything else you would ever need. If I were half as prepared as they are I would be in good shape!

Abby's first word

Pizza Factory

The cutest waitress there:)

Abby loved Brandon's lemonade

Last night was Ashley's first night as a real waitress (not in training anymore!) So we all decided to head over to Pizza Factory and see her in action! She was great, we never had an empty glass and the food was delicious! If any of you are around the Provo area and looking for some good food I definitely recommend it.

My girl loves her some prunes

Abby has been doing thing funny thing lately whenever we feed her where she has to grab the spoon and shove it into her mouth. She never wants to give the spoon back but eventually she realizes if she doesn't she won't get anymore food. This makes feeding her long and difficult so I usually just give her foods she can feed herself...otherwise this is what she ends up looking like:)
