A daughter is the happy memories of the past, the joyful memories of the present, and the hope and promise of the future.

Abbygale 2 1/2 to 3 Years Old

At 2 1/2 to 3, Abbygale is our little princess.  She is so sweet but yet so sassy and doesn't listen or mind very well.  Sometimes she still has trouble using her words and will still whine and cry.  This can cause a little chaos in our household, but for the most part she is so sweet.  When she says "I love you Mommy" that just melts my heart.  I get weak in the knee.  Abbygale has such a sweet, kind voice.  She loves everything girly, including pink and purple, princesses, mermaids, baby dolls (not real babies), and dancing.  She tells me she does NOT want a baby in our house because she doesn't want to share any toys.  She wants it to just be her, Mommy, and Daddy.  I think Miss Abbygale and Daddy have won on that topic.  Abbygale is so much fun, loves to go-go-go, and loves her Daddy.  She is such a Daddy's girl.  She loves jewelry, make-up, finger & toe nail polish, and purses.  She loves dresses and shoes.  She is 100 percent all things girly.  However, she loves riding the 4 wheeler and splashing in the mud puddles.  She loves to play soccer, baseball, and basketball outside.  In our eyes, Abbygale at 2 1/2 to 3 is just perfect.  I know we are going to continue to grow but this age is so much fun!  I love Abbygale more than any words can describe.  She is my everything.  We have a daily night time routine where we say a prayer, sing a couple of songs, and Mommy says "I love you to the moon and stars and back and more.  Forever and ever.  Amen."  XOXO!












Abbygale's Sayings at 2 1/2 - 3 Years Old

Abbygale is full of attitude and is such a hot, sweet mess.  Some of her funny sayings are:

1) That is so not funny.
2) I'm digging for diamonds (use your imagination).  So trying to break this one!!
3) When I grow up I want to be a "princess."  Or a "mermaid."
4) Mmmmmm. Mmmmmmm.Yum!  Yum! (As she is licking her fingers or as her face is covered in pizza sauce).
5) It is really so cold.
6) Damn it.  Yes, she uses this world perfectly.  Who did she learn this from?!?
7) I want that "really bad." Or I missed you "really bad."
8) Did you bring me a surprise?  Every single day I go to work she expects a surprise toy.


Birthday Party Favor Photo Shoot

Each year, we try and have a new picture of Abbygale for guest to take home with them.  We decided to stop on Main Street in Smithville and take some photos on the way to Granny's 79th birthday party.  Our little girl is so, so precious.  She is the most beautiful person I know, inside and out.

















3rd Birthday Party Photo Shoot

Mommy and Abbygale did a photo shoot for Abby's 3rd birthday party invitations.  She was such a model!  We took over 1,000 photos - yes, 1,000.  Below are a couple that tell the story of our great session.

In July 2014, we went on a girl's trip to Corpus Christi, Texas.  Granny, Aunt Brenda, Abbygale and me headed to the beach!  We had a lot of fun building sand castles, playing in the waves, playing in the pool (especially the "kitty cat" pool - aka baby pool), shopping, dancing, and eating!  Ha!  It was a great family vacation where we got to spend lots of quality time with Granny and Aunt Brenda.  We are hoping to make it an annual trip.
