Silver Creek Falls

We headed out to Silver Creek one afternoon in June. It was perfect weather, not too hot but not too cold. First we headed down to see the falls.
Abby acted like she owned the trail and we practically ran down!!


Daddy and Abby.


Family picture from the bridge below.

Even on the way back up Abby was off ahead of us!
We explored a little on Maple Ridge Trail.


Dan was saying "Done Da Done!". We had to do it over and over and over. :)

When she first went in the water she wasn't holding my hand and she slipped and was almost all the way under. I thought she would be done with the water after that but she was crying because I had taken her out of the water and she wanted to go back in!
She loved playing with the other kids.
She and Daddy walked in the water all the way down to the other side of the park and found the play structure. I met them at the playground to snap a few pictures.

Then we walked all the way back in the water again.
We had a perfect afternoon!

June Pictures Part 2

Abby and I were excited to meet baby Ella for the first time!
She really liked holding her. :)
Ella's mom Mindy and big brother Jaycoby!

Goggle Girl!


Abby wanted to go outside with Daddy while he mowed the lawn but I didn't want her to get pelted with a rock or a pine cone. I let her watch from the inside instead. She got a bit cold as it was almost 9pm. You can kind of see Dan in the bottom picture to the left. :)
Good job Daddy! The lawn looks great!





Somehow this top one didn't turn. Sorry! On Father's Day we take a picture of Daddy's feet and hand with Abby's feet and hand. It is fun to look at three now and see how she has grown since she was born!


Sticker/Ballerina Girl! :)

Our friends the Adelmans give us so many fun things for Abby!
This is a table that Nick repainted and gave Abby for her birthday!
They recently gave us a pop-up play house! Stay tuned for pictures. :)
Thank you guys for blessing our family!


I am switching to teach kindergarten this fall! I never thought I would do any grade lower than 3rd but having Abby has gotten me into the kindergarten world! We spent about 2 weeks in my new classroom cleaning, organizing and painting. Abby and my mom and our friend Lydia were there with me off and on. Abby loved it when my mom would pull her around in the library crate. :)

June Pictures

Photo Shoot with Doggy!



Say cheese!

Hi Mom!

Eating yogurt all by myself!!!

What a big girl! She has probably been able to do this for a while I just usually don't let her. It was a little messy.

Father's Day June 2010

Abby gives Daddy his Father's Day card!



She shows him where she colored in it too!


She got Daddy a special book about a bear cub and her Daddy!

I didn't wrap his gifts so I made him close his eyes.

Reading the card...

He likes it! And his gifts: Men's devotional Bible and ipod docking station!
Happy Father's Day!!! We love you Daddy and we are proud of you!!!!
We had lunch with Dan's mom and brothers and Amy at Abby's Pizza in
Newberg and then we had dessert at Coldstone in the evening with my mom. An all around fun day! Abby calls it Daddy's "happy day". This is what she said for Happy Birthday too. It was her "happy day". :)








May and June 1st Pictures

Abby likes to blow her nose.
She has learned to look at the "tit-shoe" when she is done. I think she learned this from her Daddy.

A fort!

Grammy got an edible fruit bouquet from one of her students and she shared it with us!

Long arms and long legs!

Doggy!!!

Her first bubble bath!

Wearing their party hats! Doggy sat at the table for two nights! She had him stay there rather than taking him to bed with her. I was pretty shocked!

Trying out her new swimsuit from Nicole!

Lunch on June 1st at Red Robin!

Opening her card from Grammy on her birthday.

Pretty exciting!

Money!

Put it in your piggy bank!

A birthday just never ends!

Abby and Doggy are as close as a human and stuffed animal can be! Hopefully he doesn't fall apart in the washing machine for a really long time!!

Abby's new Dora chair from Natalie and the girls! A chair fit for a princess!

Dance! Dance! Dance! Any commercial with music gets danced to!



Ballerina outfit from Macey! Of course a ballerina has to have clean teeth!
