Brekken's Friend Bowling B-Day Party!!

On Friday, July 10th (the day before the big day) Brekken had his friend party.  He decided this year he wanted to go bowling.  We took the kids up to Dixie Bowl, ate pizza, bowled, opened presents, sang, ate bowling cupcakes, and had a way fun time!!!

It was fun and the thing that Brekken thought was the coolest was that at the end they let all the people who attended the party sign a real bowling pin.  Brekken thought that that was so awesome!!!

It was sooo cute because Brekken has a little "girlfriend" Sydney and they were so cute the whole time.  He sat by her to eat and then we separated the teams into two boy teams and one girl team and the girls kicked their butt!!! (BTW Sydney is the cute little girl on the end with the blond hair:))

We had so much fun with Brekken and his friends.  I can't believe that my middle child is already six!!! Wow!!!

OnE yEaR!!

WOW, one year ago yesterday to be exact we started this little blog.  What a year!!! Many things happened that I would have otherwise forgotten about if it weren't for blogging.  I feel as though we should receive a gift of some kind like maybe those bunk beds for the boys, or maybe a paid vacation for two to Europe, or maybe just maybe a new Honda Odyssey or Pilot.  You know I am just putting it out there, feel free to to pick any or all:)  Thanks for visiting us and keeping in touch with us over the year.  Stay tuned for more exciting things to come from the Abbott household.  Here's to another year or two or maybe fifty, who really knows!!!

Sorry I haven't updated with Brekken's birthday or parties yet, but our Texas cousins have been in town and we have been hanging out, doing lots of stuff, and having a good time.  Hopefully, I can post some new stuff today or tomorrow at the soonest.  By the way did I mention it is so HOT, HOT, HOT here!!!!! Love it (most of the time:))  Stay tuned.

Happy 6th Birthday Brekken!!!!

We love you soooo much!!!!

*more to come later

Baseball season is officially over.....

Well Brekken and Peyton's season playing for the Braves ended last Monday, June 29th.  They played awesome and enjoyed playing this season.  Brekken hit a few homeruns and was so proud of himself.  Peyton did awesome for his first year and had totally improved by the end of the season!!!  Love you boys and keep up the hard work.  Good job for an amazing season!!!

Independence Day

The 4th was so much fun this year. The kids all looked so cute in their red, white, and blue (Thanks Grandma & Grandpa Graff). First we headed over to the church for games and breakfast.  Then we lazed around for a little bit and then headed over to Grandma and Grandpa Graff's house for a BBQ, swimming, and fireworks!!!! The kids loved everything!!!! They had fun helping Grandpa do the fireworks and watching them go off.  Thanks everybody for such an awesome day!!!

River Fun

Last Tuesday, June 30th, we headed up to Zion's to play and float down the river.  We went with Grandma Graff, Jeremy, Shannon, Drew, Tollie, Morgen, Lynette, Noah, Josie, Kamri, Sophie, and Keaton.  It was so much fun.   We had a picnic and then Jeremy took the older kids down the river on their tubes.  The rest of us played in the river, caught tadpoles, built sandcastles, and played in the river on tubes.  We had sooo much fun!!!! The kids absolutely loved it!!! So much that we are headed back up there again next week with the cousins and even Nate (he took the day off, yeah!!)
