My Birthday!

Oh my gosh! I'm 28! It sounds so OLD!!!! For my birthday Micah had his mom come over and babysit Tabitha so we could go to a movie. We saw "Knowing". It's only our 2nd date since Tabs was born (she's 10 months old). So, I was in desperate need of a date. Then on Saturday he took me to PF Changs (my favorite restaurant). On Sunday my mom cooked me dinner and Aryn made me brownies. I love birthdays! Oh, and my parents got me a gift basket full of popcorn and a new popcorn popper. And some other stuff. It was great!

The Girls Easter Pictures

We went to Sears and had pictures taken of the girls for Easter. We were there for 4 hours!!! All of us were so exhausted. But, I think we got a lot of cute ones. Here are some of our favorites...

These Are the Moments!!!!

This month has put our family through so many ups and downs. But, I'm so excited about the ups that I had to blog about some of them!!!!

For Tab's 9 month birthday she CRAWLED!!!! And on top of that, she crawled FORWARD!!!! For a few weeks she had been scooting backwards, but on her 9 month birthday, she propped herself up on all fours and took off. It's been no stopping her ever since!!!! She also began standing up. It's so cool!!!! We were so shocked when we walked into her room and found her just standing there waiting for us to come pick her up. Tabitha also graduated from her therapy. She's been going since she was 2 months old because of her torticollis. We'll miss Dr. Judy, but we're glad to move on from that! We knew this time was coming anyways because Tabs development has skyrocketed since she started daycare. (These pictures were taken when Tabs was 4 months old, look how much she's changed!!!)

Micah took Judi out snowboarding. He taught her how to do jumps. It's their favorite Daddy Daughter time.

So much fun!!!!

Family Date Night

For Valentines Day we decided to have a "Family Date Night". The girls woke up to lots of goodies. They each had a little stuffed animal with some candy and a Valentines Day outfit for our Date Night. We took them to the "Friends 2B Made" store in Ontario Mills.

We wanted to take them before they close down on August 2, 2009. Judi and Tabitha each picked out their dolls. Then we went over, and they picked out their dolls new heart.

They took the heart in their hand, rubbed it, then gave it a kiss before sewing up into the doll. Then they put their foot on the stuffing pumper and filled up their dolls.

The next step is to put them in the groomer chair and do their hair.

Once they are all glamoured up, then you move on to pick out an outfit.

After the dolls are all done we go over to the computers and create a birth certificate for each doll. Judi named her doll "Alexis Texas" (like Hannah Montana), and Tabitha named her doll "Baby Tab".

After we were done we went over to "Mel's Diner" and picked out whatever we wanted from the menu. Each of us had a huge meal with a desert. While we were enjoying our food we all selected songs from the Juke Box and listened for them to play.

We had a blast! I love Family Date Night! I'm thinking of making it a tradition!

Tabitha's First School Party!

For Valentines Day, Tabitha's class had a party! She had cheese pizza (for her first time) for lunch, and she LOVED it!!!! Then they had cookies and cupcakes. Now, as everyone knows, eating for a baby is messy business. So, in order to preserve the clothes, they stripped all the babies down to their diapers and let them at it! I was able to come in for a little while at the end.

All her friends are Taylor, Daryl, and then of course Tabitha!

Also, if you look below the table, you'll see that they probably didn't eat very much of it! It looks as if most of it ended up on the floor.

Here you'll see some of her favorite teachers.

Tabitha just LOVES to play at her preschool/daycare. She is learning some of the basic fundamental skills that will help her continue to develop. Such as crawling....

Of course she works so hard that by the time we are ready to go home she is so exhausted!

Another fun day at Tutor Time!
