Happy Fathers Day

This is for my dad, and for dan. i know you wouldn't eat it anyway dad.;)way too much sugar!
Dan reading the book andrew gave him "My Daddy and Me"

andrew really liked this book...they read it liek 2 or 3 times in a row.

We went to Beatlemania on friday night, jen watched the kids while we went out to a concert! it was really cool, they did a great job, i guess they are a world famous touring group of Bealte Impersonators basically, and they changed costumes thruought the show and everything...very cool. made me think we need to listen to more Bealtes!
we came home, and jen and andy had been blowing on abbys tummy to make her laugh and she soon fell asleep...i LOVE the little chubby legs.
we made sugar cookies for a Larson (dans moms side)family picnic, that ended up getting stormed out so it was at his grandparents house. andrew really liked helping with that.

This video of abby is me trying to get on film her laughing. its so cute. wait for it. it takes a minute in the video but you get a glimpse. so just watch and wait. i think she laughs twice in it...

Video and hobo



she sleeps...in her own bed! for the first 3 months of her life she slept in the stroller, whic she was very happy with, but now that shes 3 mo, i thought she better get into a real bed incase she rolls over. so yesterday i picked up a crib mattress from an add on KSL , and here ya go! her own bed. however, she has gone back to waking up at 2 or 3 and then again at 5 or 6 , she was doing so well for a little while sleeping til 4 or 5 or even 6! maybe shes going thru another growth spurt, but it seems like this baby girl is ALWAYS growing...she seems to like eating every 3 hours though...

Here is a video i took just a few minutes ago. the lawnmower was going outside, and sorry its a little dark at first, it didnt seem dark to me but it did to the camera. so heres a little something for you to hear.
on a creepy note, i am very sure i found a HOBO spider IN andrews TOY BIN. i repeat, IN HIS TOY BIN!! i have several little plastic containers in his closet that i organize his toys in , big cars, little cars, baby toys, stuffed animals (beenie babies mostly), balls, ect. it works really well for me. but yesterday i was looking for lightening mcqueen, and i was looking his his small car bin, and i thought i saw something in there move, so i started looking, and i saw a big spider (although not as big of a hobo as was in crystals house, this was not huge by HOBO standards, just a big spider, so maybe it was a baby), but yah it freaked me out. i took the bin in on the counter and was able to grab each car and toy one by one til all were out and the spider was still in there. and then i flushed it down the toilet, and then flushed the toilet again for good measure. anyways, then dan was looking up on the computer spiders, we figured we would figure out any spiders we ought to know and then not worry too much if its not one of the dangerous ones.. so he had a picture up, on the computer and i said "that was it" and it was hobo! i was NOT happy to learn that. i just have a pit in my stomach now thinking it was in his little car bin, which he is ALWAYS playing with. i checked the other bins as well, except for the stuffed animal one, thats a huge tote, so it would be quite a project and he really doesnt play with them much anyways. so now though, it just makes me sick. what if HE had been the one sticking his little hand in there? so jenny, or anybody else, if you have any good ideas on how to avoid them (even though i live in a basement so i dont have much going for me there) but any tips or ideas i would really appreciate!!!

Church History Library

andrew helped dan play the Wii, it was helping because andrew would stabalize the pad you stand on (its based on balance) and so dan could controll it easier... and andrew LOVED being able to play too...


in this picture he reminds me of a swimmer about to start the race...




they had an open house for the churches new history library! it was really cool. very big, and i heard it was more expensive than some of the smaller temples because of the record keeping and preserving stuff. they keep the records at 55 degrees, pretty cool! (pun intended there.) also, there are 21 miles of counters in there. and the storage areas are like the size of like multiple (i want to say 12 but i cant remember) tennis courts. you can go there and look up anything that has been entered for your family, such as diaries, patriarchal blessings, ect. it was really neat. they also have some cool things like Joseph Smiths personal diary, you can look at it under glass, and other cool things. this is where they are working on the Joseph Smith Papers and they do restoration of old recordings and books.



look at those cheeks! they're like a perfect circle...

abby kept trying to eat the snugli.
right after we parked andrew took off down the street and jen went and chased him for me;) thanks jen! he went pretty far. and then discovered the sprinkler..

i think this was dans first time wearing the snugli.

Abby at 3 Months today!


I'm Abigail! I weighed 14 pounds even today (with pjs on, but a clean diaper! so thats got to be pretty accurate!). I love to say "geeee!" and i love to talk to you. I love it when you talk to me in the morning ! and any time after nap. i cry the most when i am tired. i love to eat my fists. i can hold my head up so well these days, and i love to be sitting up and seeing everybody and everything. I get nervous around brother, he can be very helpful to me, but he can also get a little rough (as 2 yr old boys do!). I am not very interested in toys yet, just people! I tend to prefer mommy or daddy over anybody else, and my favorite thing is the swing! I love to eat and i love to sleep, and i am even getting to where i like my baths! tomorrow i am going swimming for the first time!
andrew trying i think to get some attention, being silly.
and after pictures were all done (or so she thought).




apparently andrews attempts to help her worked..she got her binky.
andrew was trying to help her , she was fussy ,and he found her binky to help...



she LOVES her fists.




Right after her bath...she really wasn't too happy to get pictures taken. she really just wanted to go to sleep!
