Abbie opening Grama and Grandpa's present!

Christmas Morning

Snow Day!

Spencer threw Abbie in the snow for the classic helpless kid in the snow picture!

I came outside to take some cute pictures of us in the snow.

Spencer took Abbie sledding after she was cooped up in the house for too long.

This is Mom and Dad P's new house in Cranbrook...this is the view from their yard.

Abbie Loved being outside, but she had a hard time walking in her snow boots.

All the grandkids decorated the little Christmas tree with Grama...

Grama P bought the grandkids their own chairs...here is Abbie chillin with Jace and Jenson.

On our way down to Cranbrook we stopped in to see Spencer's Grama in Calgary. We met up with Amber, Lehi, Elizabeth and Mom P. Abbie enjoyed being able to run around the big halls!

Merry Christmas

This is the best picture i could get...she was a little impatient.

I know what your thinking...nice face Becci! I was making funny sounds to try and distract Abbie to take a picture. This is Abbie's Christmas dress from Grama K...she wore it to church today. We are all really excited, this is our last week living in an apartment! I will be very busy packing up for one last time (well probably not our last time) We have been married over 3 1/2 years and this will be our 9th MOVE! Finally, it will be HOME SWEET HOME!

Which shoe looks better?

Abbie continues to love to dress up and wear my shoes, even if they aren't a match!

3 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed!

Ward Christmas party

Our ward had a night in Bethlehem Christmas party and we had to dress up.

Abbie and I have fun at home while Spencer is hard at work!

Go Cowboys!

Spencer had to buy Abbie a little pink Dallas Cowboy hat!

Abbie 1st Ponytail!

Abbie's hair is finally long enough for a ponytail and she looks so grown up with it!

Faith look alike

Abbie is wearing Faith's outfit...does it look familiar? The top picture is a classic Spencer look "like daddy like daughter" CheekY!

Abbie's gymnastics outfit

Abbie has been going to gymnastics for 3 weeks now...the first week was a train wreck and its gotten a lot better since! The first time we were there she wouldn't listen to a word all she wanted to do was run around like a crazy girl! Now she loves the trampoline, she can pull herself up on the bars, and balance walk on the beams.

Brushing her teeth

Abbie loves to brush her teeth at least 3 times a day...she likes to use everyones toothbrush!

happy Halloween!

Well, we are finally settled back in edmonton so I am able to do some updates! Halloween was a blast this year...Abbie was a Turkey and I was a chef! At first Abbie cried when we put it on her, but she forgot all about her costume when we went trick or treating. Abbie ran from door to door, knocked on the doors, tried to walk into the peoples house and grabbed her own candy out of the candy bowls. By the end of the night she was exhausted but she still enjoyed her first sucker!

This is the only picture where Abbie is actually sitting still!

Fall pics

Fall at Grama's

After coming home from Cancun, Abbie and I flew home to Prince George to stay at Grama's house for 2 weeks. All the leaves have fallen and Abbie loves to play in the big pile of leaves. Abbie had trouble wearing pants and socks...she wasn't use to it!

Our View

We just got back from a 2 week vacation in Cancun, Mexico. It was a lot of fun! My parents and my sister came with her family...we had three joining rooms. We pretty much did everything you can do: Chichen Itza, Xcaret, Tulum, Playa Del Carmen, Cozmel, the market, scooters, fishing, and snorkelling. Spencer tried to go deep sea fishing, but it didn't take him long before he was keeled over the boat throwing up his breakfast...they had to make an emergency stop to let him off the boat! Spencer also went scuba diving to Cozmel and said that it was amazing experience. Driving the scooters around was a crazy experience because mexican drivers are nuts! We even got stopped by the mexican police and Richard had to pay them off! One dinner Spencer decided that he wanted to try some authentic mexican food and he ordered something on the menu...he asked the waiter what it was and he couldn't translate, but pointed to the stomach area of a cow?! When we got back to the hotel we googled it and it was cow intestines! Gross. It was a great trip and it really sucked to come home.

Kissing underwater...no kids down here!

Me...

Tulum

We took the kids to Tulum for the day at it was a big adventure...no paths for the strollers and super hot! We also experienced the worst bathroom that I have ever seen!

Pina Coladas in the pool

Every day we would order pina coladas at the pool side...Abbie loved them!

Thanksgiving

For our thanksgiving dinner we went to Mocambo's, a lobster steak house on the ocean. There was a live band playing and the girls danced.

The "Girls"

The girls and Grama ready to go out for dinner. The girls were dressed up in their matching dresses that we got them in Chichen Itza.

Tulum Beach

We set up camp at a beautiful beach in Tulum...the girls got sand everywhere! Jen tried to read something in the little time that the kids kept themselves occupied. The boys were out snorkelling.

Buliding sandcastles

Abbie and her cousin Faith were inseparatable...after a couple of days not liking the sand, they started to love it.
