Dave's Work Pic-nic!

Cute at the park!

This is Laya, Abbies friend. They were practicing their new sharing skills! :)
Abigail LOVES dogs! And apparently dogs love Abby too! ;) We'll let her look forward to seeing and playing with other peoples dogs...we'll never own one--i'm allergic.
Abigail was a little too young for the jumping castle, but not with Daddies help! She loved bouncing high!
Dave entered his first pie eating contest at the pic-nic...strawberry ruhbarb all the way! :)



His old roommate, Mike, took a job down here a few months back and he joined in the pie eating contest too! :) I personally enjoyed the leftover pie!

Easter in April

Easter just belongs in April! : ) We had so much going on in March, I just couldn't get my act together to have easter baskets ready by Easter Sunday this year. So...I think it was April 1st that Dave came home from work, and I told him to go and find his Easter basket! :) And Abby too! Here she has just spied something that looks bright and fun! :)

Daddy and Abby scoring big chocolate! I let Abby carry her twix around...and then she figured out how to open it!! Now, I swear she can recognize chocolate from the other side of the house!

Bug eyes have never looked so cute!














Bug eyes have never looked so scary! ;)












Is there chocolate in here too??














Dave's basket-o-fun!

Our Senhorita!

Jenny and Dawson got Abigail a little Mexican Girl dress for her birthday last month. Isn't it adorable on her?

A Visit from Grandma Larsen!

We had a wonderful visit with Grandma Larsen this last weekend. She flew down from St. George Utah and stayed a few days with us in Tucson, and a couple days with my Dad in Mesa.

Melanie & Isaac's Visit

AT THE PARK

Dave's sister, Melanie, and her son Isaac, came down to Tucson to visit us last weekend. We had a fabulous time! Here are a few shots of us at the park.

We decided to go on a little drive and hike up to "A Mountain". (University of Arizona) It had quite the view and gave us some great exercise!

On Monday we went to the Tucson's Desert Museum and learned about the desert's plant and animal life. It was good times!

This was in the hummingbird habitat. The hummingbirds just wiz around you and at you! Abigail was in heaven, pointing at every one she could see!

Abigail's True BirthDATE BirthDAY!

After Abbie was born last year, Dave ran to IHOP next to the birth center, and grabbed us some food. It just happened to be National Pancake Day that day-Free pancakes! We thought it was the same day every year (a fun way to celebrate Abbies birthday...free pancakes and all) however, it's a different day every year. Bumma! We have still decided to make it a tradition!

Abbies first time coloring!

We ordered Abby a fun face pancake. That pancake was face-less so fast! :)

GULP! Those strawberry eyes of his were delish!

I was trying to feed Abby a Gogert thingy from the front seat...enough said! :D She didn't mind at all, she sucked that yogert down in a jif!


***** 1 ******

***** 2 ***** (Notice the hand print on the side of her head!)

***** GONE! ***** She cleared that tray pretty quick!


Abigail enjoyed the wrapping paper more than the presents at first!


What a great birthday grin!


A friend of ours gave us some toys that they were getting rid of and we scored a little piano for Abbie! I just sterilized it, polished it up, and Wa-la- She loves it!


Our master pianist at work! :D

February Partying!

We had a huge "Double Birthday Party/Game Day" for Abby & Dave's birthdays in February. It was a riot! Dave requested an old family recipe called Ruby Dessert for their "cake", and being a dessert covered in berries- I knew Abby would love it too. And boy did she! Look at her go! :)

Can you just hear her thoughts with this facial?

Birthday Boy!

She was covered- and what a look of pure glee! I sure love my two birthday babes!
