Build A Bear Workshop!!!!

Grandma Rasmussen supplied the funds for Aunt Kristen to take Abby and Haylie to go make their very own furry friend at Build A Bear!!! I say Furry Friend because Abby chose a Koala Bear and Haylie chose a Kitty...they had a lot of fun!!! Afterward we went to The Cheesecake Factory and had some yummy dessert!!

Happy 5th Birthday Abby!

Abby was so excited to turn 5!! Her and her cousin Austin were wild and crazy all day full of excitement, counting down the hours until our families got home from work/school so we could head to Bouncin' off the Walls. They always have the best time there. I forgot my camera..which I am really bummed about, because there would have been great pictures of the girls going down the BIG SLIDE together with their arms linked. And the boys all doing their "tricks". After we went back to Grandma Rasmussen's house and had Cake (Abby chose, strawberry cake, strawberry icing, bubblegum and cookies and cream ice cream) and ice cream, and opened presents. She couldn't have been more thrilled with the dress up outfits and Batman Lego game for the PS2...she is so funny!!!

The day before her birthday, Abby was the V.I.P. in her Pre School class. We made a poster of her family, and brought in some of Abby's favorite things to show the class. We gave the class oreos and grape capri suns...Abby's Favorite!!!

Here are some pictures from Abby's 5 year old photo session!!! We love you Abby and couldn't be more pleased with the young lady you are becoming!!!! Happy Birthday Sweetheart!!!

Abby Started Pre School Today!!!!

Abby was put on the waiting list for this GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD PRESCHOOL that everyone raves about since August. I just thought she wasn't going to be able to go, and she would have to wait until Kindergarten to go to school....well, someone in her class is moving to Connecticut and Abby was the next on the list!!!! Hooray!!! We went last week and met her teacher and saw the classroom. Abby was so excited!!! Look how cute she looked on her first day!!!


She loved her first day!! She was bummed when I told her she didn't go back until Thursday. I am so happy she has the desire to learn and to go to school!!!

Haylie

Haylie turned 2 on 09/09/08 She had a party at Grandma Rasmussen's with all of her cousins. She got spoiled!!! She LOVED everything. She looked like a little Diva mom with her purse on her shoulder, her sunglasses on pushing her new baby in her new stroller...very cute!!! She got some way cute clothes, and girly stuff of every kind.

She liked having everyone sing 'Happy Birthday' to her, and had even more fun blowing out the candles!! She got to do it twice!!

Happy Birthday Haylie!!!
