A Day of Shopping!

I waited paitently for today for about 2 week! I got to go shopping with my Meghan!!! It was so much fun! Meghan, Abi and I went to every single dress shop in the Park Place mall and then on to the Lethbridge Centre mall. We were shopping for summer clothes for Meghan and A fancy dress for me to wear to Orrin and Jenn's wedding in 2 weeks. Meghan had lots of success, but I was starting to get frustrated. See I had a particular style in mind for a dress and everything out there was not fitting the description! But finally in the last store we stopped in before calling it quits, we found the PERFECT dress! I am so stinking excited for their wedding now so I can show off my new dress. Now the reason finding a dress for me is such a big deal is because I am not a dress person. I am much happier wearing pants, they are much more comfortable and you don't have to be so carefull when you are wearing pants! I had to find a nice dress because my husband is in the wedding line up and going to be all decked out in a handsome suit, so I have to look just as good.... if not better than he does(lol). So I had an awesome day with and awesome friend and my darling Abigail shopping till we drop!

A trip to the park

Today JR and I took Abigail to the park, and we brought along Anthony too! Abigail is just learning how to go down the slide all by herself. She starting to understand that you have to walk around and go up the stair to go down the slide again, not turn around and climb up the slide! It is quite the spectacle to watch! Now Anthony on the other hand wants nothing to do with the slide. Anthony rather swing! He just sits and giggles the whole time! Abigail does not think that the swings are a fun idea! She complains the whole time she is in it. Well that is the excitement for my day!

Our Sweet Abigail!

It is hard to believe that she is already a year old! She is such a brilliant little girl! I am so fortunate to get to spend everyday with this wonderful girl. She is rarely grumpy and always has tons of slimy kisses for me and JR. She has been walking since she was 10 months old. She is such a chatter box like I was when I was small. She wanders around the house chanting Abi or hi. she loves to pretend to feed her baby that her auntie Ora bought her for her birthday. She also loves to read books. When she decides it is time to read a book, she will grab it off the shelf, bring it to you and if you don't take it right away she will turn around and back up onto your knee until you read her the book. She is at the stage where she will take the same book to JR or myself and have us read it over and over. It really is quite entertaining! Abigail has such a wonderful personality and she loves everybody. Though she pretends to play shy just because she can! Abi Loves her cousin Anthony. She is always trying to hug and kiss him or hold his hand when they are in the car together. She also likes to help feed him when they are sitting in their high chairs. Abigail amazes me everyday with the things she does! Either it is leaning to sign please and more, or randomly dancing around the livingroom to her backyardigans dvd.... We are so bless to have such a wonderful child! Okay I am done gushing now! lol

Love and Laughter

JR and I grew up in Fort Macleod, Alberta. We lived across the street from each other for years and never knew each other! We finally met working at A&W in Fort Macleod, and he thought I was a stalker cause I knew where he lived and he had no clue where I lived. We started dating in the fall of 2002. After we had been together for for 3 year and JR asked me to marry him... then he moved to Calgary! So of course I had no choice but to follow him. We got married February 4, 2006 in Fort Macleod. We were still living in Calgary when in August 2006 we found out we were going to have a baby! So we decided to move closer to home. We moved to Lethbridge March 2007, so that we would have time to get settled before the baby came. My due date what April 21, 2007, but little miss Abigail did not agree with this! Abigail Mae Ronald was born May 2nd, 2007 at 1:10am and weight 8 pounds and 9 ounces! To add to the excitement my sister Angela had a little boy named Anthony Johan Trowbridge on May 21, 2007. We have enjoyed many long nights, busy days and wonderful memories already! January 2008 we bought a house with my mom. It is a beautiful house! My sweet Abigail celebrated her first birthay at the beginning of the month! It is crazy to believe she is already a year old! She is a walking, chattering , very busy little girl and I would not have it any other way! I am so blessed and thankful that I am able to stay at home with her! Well That is my life in a nut shell!
