Abigail Spring, You are the Funniest Thing!!

Just have to record some of Abbi's sayings from the past couple of days. For 2yrs. 3mo., she has us quite entertained!

1. Abbi was riding with her dad in the truck and said..."You're funny dad"

2. She had a nightmare last night and was talking in her sleep, she was yelling........."I DO IT MYSELF! I DO IT MYSELF". Rizz just patted her back and and lulled her out of her nightmare.=)

3. Abbi loves to weigh herself on the scale and calls it "Thinking Zero" because it blinks for a few seconds while it determines your weight. Regrettably she had me step on the scale tonight and said "You do it mom", the number came across, I told her the weight, and she said, "Good job mom, awesome". I guess numbers aren't everything. =^)

4. We don't let Abbi have soda, which is quite the accomplishment if you know me and my drinking habits. (let's just say they are not good). She got a hold of her cousin's orange soda today and took a big swig. I saw the after and told her to give it back to Jojo and she smiled and said, "mmmmmm, that was good". How do you not laugh at that one?

5. Rizz and I are no longer just "Mommy and Daddy", we are "Mom and Dad". Makes me feel old.=)

6. Abbi loves to sing into her crayola magic markers (the cap has to be off). She is a great singer and always invites us to join in. Favorite songs: itsy, bitsy little spider, the Word World theme song, I am a Child of God, and Happy Birthday.

7. Whenever she leaves the room she says "I'll be right back."

8. She told Kenny the other day that "All of your dreams can come true."

9. She coos and giggles at her little sister. They are the best of friends. Gotta love sisters.

10. I was typing this blog and her Abbi say, "Jesus Christ" and immediately thought..........ahhh! who taught her to use the Lord's name in vain? Why I shouldn't jump to conclusions: She was looking at the Strength of Youth pamphlet and had turned to the picture of Jesus. She is just such a sponge.........you never know with this one.

11. The best for last: Abbi has said the prayer at dinner for the last two nights. It is still a whisper, but she says the whole thing and it is so precious. She is our sweet, spunky, adventurous, angel!

Entertaining Moments

I ran in a 5 mile race yesterday, the men's run and was entertained by a few things:
1. I passed a lady around mile 1 just as she asked if she had 2 more miles to go, and the race official told her no, that this was a 5 miler, not a 5k. Needless to say she was not thrilled at running 4 more miles, swore, and stumbled on.
2. Still at the run...........an old woman, had to be around 85 passed me with these dagger elbows that she swung crazily out the sides and she kicked my tail. That is what I love about running. It is extremely humbling!!!! I did manage to catch her later in the race and picked up my pace at the end so I could finish 30 sec. in front of her. Go me........these legs weren't built for running, but I do enjoy it so. Wherever you are Old Lady...........you rock!
3. This one is not for the faint of heart..........I saw a grown woman in her 20's pick her nose and eat her boogers....I am not kidding. I was in shock the first time I saw it and so like the fender bender on the side of the road, I had to a second look and yup, she did it again and charmingly, a third time as well. Not sure where to go with that one, just was amazed.
4. Abigail is a dare devil. She took on all the rides that she could at the Bear Paw festival and LOVED THEM. (pictures to share soon)
5. Abbi dress up Dakota this week. She put a funnel on his head and said, "It's Bubba's birthday", and a towel on his back and then said" Bubba's a princess". His is our little princess and we love him for all of the torture that he endures from Abigail.
6. Oh yeah, and we sold our house...but you already knew that.
