Easter weekend

This weekend Joe's mom came up for Easter and on Saturday we had Abigail's first Easter egg hunt.
Abigail and Grammy color an Easter picture

Coloring another picture with daddy

She was showing off her standing skills (look at those wrinkly knees!)

Getting Easter hugs from Kyler

He even went in for the kiss!

Daddy and Abigail strategize for the hunt

She found one!

But then Kyler came over and saw an opportunity to "lovingly take" Abigail's eggs!

So Daddy lifted her up and she found a bunch more!

Passing the eggs off to daddy

They even had candy in them!!

Showing her eggs to McKinlee


Mommy stood on the sidelines and took pictures!

We played on all the toys!

And slid down the slide!


Then we counted the loot!



Here she is counting her eggs (Press play)

So cute!

Ok so is this not the cutest baby ever :)

And are these not the cutest little treats ever!! So sweet and yummy!! If you haven't heard of Bakerella then you need to visit her site. Look to the right of this page and you will see a link there. She's so talented and crafty! I had to give her cupcake pops a try and they turned out so sweet!!

She took her first steps!!!!

Tonight we were sitting watching tv when all of a sudden Abigail started walking toward me on her own!! It was so weird to see her walking but so exciting!! YAY Abigail!

Here are a bunch of new videos. Press play to watch them.

Here's a video of some first steps! It's not too great cause I had to grab the camera fast but you can tell :)


She's such a ham for the camera!


She loves to play 'fetch' with herself. She pushes her toys/paper/food in front of her and then goes after it!


Tonight I let Abigail have some of my lime and she had a love/hate relationship with it. She didn't seem to like the taste but yet had to keep going back for more! I'm sure the lime juice in her eye didn't help with the hate factor.

Abigail and her friend McKinlee


She loves being outside! If you look closely you can see those top teeth pushing through!

So excited about nature!

What's the fun in going outside if you can't taste everything!


She loves mommy kisses :)

Weekend getaway!

Last weekend, Abigail and I took a little road trip over to see my dad's side of the family in Hiawassee, GA (a smaller town than Hartsville if you can imagine that!). We had a great time with everyone and Abigail was such a good little traveler!

We stayed at the Hollingshead Farm (aka, my aunt and uncle's house)
I was greeted (chased) by the hottest little chick :)

Sugar is one of the two miniature horses that they have. I wish we could have gotten Abigail on her but there was only so much we could do with 3 days!

Abigail didn't know what to think of the sheep...and they didn't know about her either!


"Hey, you don't look like a sheep!"

Silly dog - he's NOT a sheep!!

Admiring my little lamb

She was a true farm girl, even wore her pink John Deere shirt and overalls! But of course had to add some class to the outfit with her pink pouf hat!

Stare down.

Giving the little lamb some love :)

Again with the pouf - the animals were drawn to it!


Serious cousins...

Laughing with Papa

She loved bouncing with Aunt Tami

Sitting with Great-grandma Faye...unfortunately sitting wasn't on her to-do list for that day!

My grandparents and their kids, Grandma Faye, Bumpy, Cheryl, my dad, Tina and Tami

The Wine "kids"

Dan and Allison are expecting their second! A little girl, Callie Rae.

Watching Ethan do manly work!

Abby had such a fun time with her Papa!

Beautiful Day

It was a gorgeous day outside so we decided that it was finally time to take pics of Abigail in her dedication dress! Sorry there are so many...I just couldn't choose so I put most up :)








I pushed her to her limits

But a paci made it all better!

She's learning to walk!

Abigail's friend, Kyler let us borrow his walking toy. She took to it right away and is a pro! (press play)

9 months

Her new favorite thing is saying "Bye-Bye"
