Finally got the swings on.

Abby had her birthday and it was fun. We kept it pretty simple and decided to just have a late night with a few friends, instead of a big party. She chose this option and we spent the money saved on a new, big bike. Somehow I don't have a picture of it, but we'll get one. She got to go to wal-Mart and choose it. It is a pink, ladybug bike with streamers. Grandma Jane got her a bell for it, so she is set! She is obsessed with chipmunks lately, so she also requested nuts for her birthday. Grandma and Costco came through on that one, too. I keep telling myself, if she was this excited about horse, unicorns, dogs or cats it would be normal, so chipmunks it is. Anyways, the girls came to the party, we had mud cups, painted nails and then watched Alvin. The squeakquel has the chippettes, that is why they like it so much. We had lots of popcorn and finished the movie and sent the girls home. it went well. We also had a cake when everybody came down for Pioneer Day, so they could sing to her. Abby is definitely growing up. She can get her own breakfast and some for her sisters. She is reading like crazy and loves chapter books. Her favorites are "Fiona and Frieda's Fairytale Advenures." It is a series, check it out if you have older girls. She is starting to love to watch the older shows on Disney channel, iCarly being her favorite. Poor Sara isn't too happy about the transition up from Dora the Explorer! Abby is so ready for 2nd grade. She is very smart and I am not at all worried about her at school. She loves riding her bike and scooter. She is generally good but also tends to do a lot of "it was Isabel's idea...i told her not to...." after the deed is done. Oh well. She is a good helper and is already becoming smarter than mom, throwing out her solutions to any problem I might have. She loves her sisters and is loving watching Whitney grow up. She has two loose front teeth, so watch out for some cute pictures coming up. We love our Abigail!
