Three Wonderful Years

Three years ago today, I married the most wonderful man in the whole world.



Choosing to marry Sam in the temple was the best decision I've ever made.



I know I will be with him forever!

Time-Out

Abby had her first time-out today. She had to stand facing the wall for one minute. She cried and cried and pressed her little arms against the wall.

It was a very long, sad minute.

We ended it with a talk and a big hug from mom and dad.

She is definitely a toddler.

Let's hope this won't be happening TOO regularly.

White Trash Party

Our friends threw a White Trash party this weekend and it was a total blast!

Everyone looked awesome, the food was disgusting and the entertainment was hilarious.

Sam and I (notice the sweet Nascar posters). Abby was there, but she wasn't dressed up.


All of the lovely ladies!


Studly Men (Abby is on the couch next to Sam holding a soda bottle, HA!)

The spread: tater tots, Spam, fishsticks, pigs in a blanket, lil' smokies, beef jerkey, chicken nuggets...let's just say that Abby had one stinky diaper!


Thanks McGowans!!! It was so fun!

Here's to hoping...

that she's not a nose picker!

25

I'd like to introduce you to my newest nephew, whom I believe is going unnamed in the blog world.



He is Abby's first cousin on my side, but 25th overall. (Yeah, Sam has a big family!) There is something about him being my sibling's kid that makes him extra special. Maybe it's becase we share some genes!

We just love him already and can't wait to go meet him in a couple of weeks.

Bed Head

Socks: Part 2...

Apparently, this is Abby's way of doing laundry.



She wasn't around so I thought it was safe to snap a picture.
