The countdown is over!

We picked out her outfit the night before

'Apple' for the teacher...thank you Aunt M for the great idea! she wrote her name on the back of the leaf

couldnt find her backpack in the move...so bubba said she could use his haha

daddy and his baby girl.

woah... parents escorting their child in and helping them find their cubby and a place on the carpet

Mrs. Stone

20 boys and 10 girls in her class...she is about to sit by Brooklyn and Summer...her little girlfriends :)

All morning we had been calling Abb 'Kindergarten girl'...."ok kindergarten girl, go brush your teeth" "where is your backpack kindergarten girl?" ect. Her room is pretty fun, so when it was time to leave the classroom, Dax yells out, "I want be Kindergarten BOY!!"

the playground. welcome to Nevada haha. we left Abb to her class and Dax took off to the "park" of playgroup equipment

We drove around for a bit, and Dax fell asleep. He woke up and the first thing he said was "My Abby...where my Abby?" We got to the school and he wanted to just charge in the room "MY ABBY!! I SEE MY ABBY!!"

The move is on...

So, we are packing up and heading to......

Any ideas....???? haha i picked that picture and then realized that I wouldn't know what town it is haha maybe if I knew hotels and mountain ranges. So the other widely photographed landmark is this...

Totally gave it away. So, yea. We are heading there this weekend after some help on saturday from the ward and fam and friends. I got a transfer to the south Reno store, but not until Sept 17th or 18th, so I will make one or 2 trips on my days off so I can be there for Abby's FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN!!!! Holy crap.... and such.

tictac

A few trips ago to Reno, either Grandma or Aunt Rusty bought Abb a pac of tic tacs. every checkout line she reminds me. "mom, those are the things [enter person] bought me! can we get some?!" We bought some the other day, and they have lasted a long time....that meaning they werent gone in an hour haha. So on the car ride home from swimming at moms, abb was sharing them with bubba. "careful bud, dont bite it! just suck on the candy." that's a good big sis :) so we get home and abb has shared a couple with him and he decides to share with me!

D: here you go mama! [hands me the tic tac]
Me: thanks bubba!
D: Suck it!

lol lol lol hahahaha hahaha that is what his sister told him haha

swing time

Abby's love language as of recently, or i recently realized, is quality time. So when i got home from work today, she wanted me to push her on the swing. I was pushing and doing the "twisty whisty" and we were chatting.
Ab: do kids have kids?
Me: no, you should be older
Ab: so baby brothers grow up to be dads?
Me: yes, that's right
Ab: and girls grow up to be moms?
Me: yeppers
Ab: can i grow up and have kids?
Me: yes, if you would like to sugarbeat
Ab: yea, i think i will. because then i can be a mom, and then i'll be just like you!

love her....

p.s.

30 days until the DAVE MATTHEWS BAND CONCERT!!!!!!!!!

seven 11

it's my 2 year winco anniversary today.... yea.

R R R

it's nice to know when .....when you're kids hear you lol i'v always been conscience of the planet (OXYGEN KILLERS!!!!!) not littering, recycling, turning off water and lights, we want to compost and garden and have less impact on the planet. We have talked about, and there are also commercials for "reduce, reuse, recycle", and so it's cute when Ab says "mom, we can reduce/reuse/recycle that!" :) so just now, dax asked if something was trash

D: trash, mama? I throw trash?
me: no, bubba, that's not trash
D: cycle, mama? I throw cycle?
me: [mouth open, eyes wide] ye..yes bubba. that goes in the recycle. lol

i kinda love this parenting gig ;)
