Abby and her friends!

All smiles!
Goofy!

We had a blast! Of course it is 10:50pm and the girls and boy are still running around the house listening to Abby's new mp3 player, chasing each other on a cake and ice cream high. But you know that it's all good when no one has said anything nasty to each other or made each other cry! Oh to be 7 again when all you had to worry about was where you were going to sleep, upstairs or downstairs! I still can't grasp that Abby is 7. I think about the day she was born and how time has really flown. Then I look in the mirror and remember how old I am getting and how Abby is living proof that time keeps going! Well, hopefully we will get some sleep tonight! I better get of the computer and see if anyone wants to go to bed yet! Wishful thinking!

Here we are decorating mini pumpkins.

Abby turns 7!

Abby is officially 7 years old. We had a few of her friends from school over for a slumber party. To start things off, we painted some "goody" bags with paints.

Abby can read!

I just couldn't help but take a picture of my little girl reading. Look at all the words on that page! I am just in ah at how fast she has really picked up on it. Too bad she has a little of her daddy's genes, she hates to read! Maybe with time that will change. Who knows!

Hittin' a bucket of balls!

One Sunday evening Dave and I decided that it would be fun to go with the kids and hit a bucket of balls. Dave and Phil found Hunter a set of golf clubs just his size, so Hunter looks forward to going with daddy to the range. This time the girls decided to tag along. I have to say that it was alot of fun. The kids are a riot to watch!
(notice Hunter's right hand, heaven forbid he should actually have to "touch" his sister)
It was a little chilly that evening. Once we got warmed up it wasn't too bad.
