Here are a few more silly pics from last night.

She found a new hiding spot. I was laughing so hard that I couldn't call for her like she wanted and she finally lifted the blanket and peered out at me laughing. I bet she thought she had a good hiding spot!

Here's another of her hiding spots. She usually doesn't go here when she's playng hide and seek, but saves it for when she's in trouble or nap time. "haha! Mommy can't get me under this table!"

We have been BUSY here in Las Vegas, so busy in fact, that I haven't had time to get a blog post together, or upload pics. Life has settled down a bit now, so I am going to fix that situation before the Grandparents set up a hit on me in search of photos of Abi!

This kid is so funny! Most of these pictures are of random things she has done that have just cracked me up and made me run for the camera!

Here is Abi enjoying a rare thing here in Las Vegas...RAIN! It hardly ever rains here, so when it started raining one evening, we took Abi out on the patio to enjoy it a bit.

I wear these headbands all the time, but they give me a headache after a while, so they're littered all over the house. Abi decided she wanted a headband like mommy to hold back all of her new hair!

One day, Abi decided she and her babies should take a nap in front of the TV. She brought pillows and babies galore! Usually the babies are then covered in whatever she decides can be a blanket, usually her dirty laundry! So funny!
Photobucket
Abi has learned how to play hide and seek...sort of. She can play the 2 year old version which involves hiding nothing but her face and sitting silently as a mouse while Nic and I pretend we don't see her and scream for her around the house. We find her, laugh, and she hides again...in the exact same spot! The one with the blue striped pillow is actually a sleeping photo I took of her. Nic sleeps just like that and I thought it was funny.

She loves her bathtime! And her lay-e-bug towel!

We are having a lot of fun out here in Vegas. I have lots I want Abi to see and do here, unfortunately we have been covered over with looking at house after house after house. I've seen about 50 in all and have bid on 10 total and I am getting pretty tired of it all, but I've got 3 out there right now that I am feeling pretty good about. We'll see what happens....

Here are some pics of the little cutie pie playing around. Look at those eyes!

She loves her Mrs. Potato Head! She spends more time with poor Mrs. Head's body parts in her own mouth (and Mommy and Daddy's mouth, and wearing the hats too!) than stuck into Mrs. Potato Head, but she still has a blast with it!

We have a pool in our complex and we go swimming several times a week. She's a fish, I swear!

Photobucket

Happy to be headed to the pool!

Most kids sleep with baby dolls...mine?
Books! (She's her mother's daughter for sure!)

She loves wearing her "gwasses" and always wants to put them on when mommy and daddy have theirs on.

We were going to look at (more!) houses this morning and she saw me getting ready, so she came into the living room and said "go mommy" and headed for the door with her purse and her box of books. She was ready to go!!! She didn't take them house hunting, but she did take when she and daddy went to check the mail. I think she looks a lot like me in this picture!

Photobucket

This one is just too cute not to put in! I bought her this stool to help with her non-existant potty training, but she found a better use for it! It's her table! She eats breakfast at it each morning, and one day I even caught her laying out a blanket for a tablecloth! This is her "cheeeeese!" face that I occasionally can get her to make for a photo...if I am really fast. I think she looks like her daddy in this picture!

********Sorry the pics are so big! Don't know why they did that! You'll have to click each pic to see the whole photo!***************

Soooo much has been going on lately! I know everyone checks up on this to see what the baby has been up to, but in case you are wondering what Nic and I have been up to as well...Here's an update!!!!

We got to spend a few days in Mt.Ida before our vacation and the big move to Vegas. It's the first time Nic and I have gotten to hang out on the lake in Mt. Ida with all Nic's old friends in a while, so we were both super excited! This is one of my favorite pictures of us EVER!


Nic and I in Mt. Ida!



spending time on Lake Ouachita!



Then, as most of you know, especially if you've read some of my BVI blog posts, Nic and I got to spend 12 days in the British Virgin Islands with Nic's family and some of their friends. Nic and I, Nic's brother Jeff and his fiancee Angela, Nic's mom and Dad, their traveling buddies David and Melinda, and their 12 year old son, Cody, spend 10 days (well, Jeff and Angela only stayed 7 days :) on a catamaran that Nic's dad and his friend chartered and sailed for us all. IT WAS THE BEST VACATION EVER!! (and Nic's mom thought it would be too "rough" for me and I wouldn't like it. HA!) We went to tons of tiny islands and lots of famous beach restaurants. There was great snorkeling, although I'm not a big snorkeler and only did it once. Then I got a coral burn and promptly decided not to snorkel anymore! I discovered my favorite place on earth...Jost Van Dyke...a tiny island without much to do, but is absolutely heavenly and I am currently planning our winter vacation there because I can't wait to go back!

Here are a few of my favorite pictures and must see places/views!

Here's Nic and I getting started on our vacation!
VACATION!!!


There was a cool "bubbly pool" that was a small cove, with all these rocks and when the waves came in the water would bubble like a hot tub. It was really cool, but not very bubbly on our trip.
On our way to the bubbly pool...


This was the boat, I mean the VESSEL, where we spent our time. It was HUGE! We had 9 people at one time on there and never felt crowded. Angela and I spent lots of time laying out on the net on the front of the boat and Nic was really excited to get a chance to sail.

He found a hammock to chill in at every beach we visited!
How Nic spent his summer vacation...


Foxy's is a super famous beach restaurant on Jost Van Dyke. I saw it on the Top 10 list on the travel channel. It was really neat! Everyone has left their t-shirts, flags, and, ahem, other items hanging from the rafters. We saw lots of AR stuff there and even signed our names on a Razorback flag (which we are totally taking to fly on our boat the next time we go!)
The World Famous Foxy's!

Of course, we all had to sign on it!


These are the pics of my island...Jost Van Dyke. Isn't it beautiful???

More pretty views...

This is another cool beach restaurant on Jost Van Dyke and it's just as famous as Foxy's. It is all decorated, and COVERED, in seashells, with lots of signs visitors have made hanging everywhere. It's famous because it was featured in Kenny Chesney's video "no shoes, no shirt, no problem" which is my new favorite video simply because I recognized so many places in it. "I've BEEN there!!!"
Another world famous area...Ivan's


Kenny Chesney shot the video for "no shoes, no shirt, no problem" here!


There were notes for Kenny everywhere in the bar...it was funny!
There were notes to him EVERYWHERE!


Aren't we cute???



This was on a tiny island called Marina Cay. There wasn't much on it besides this resort and a shop and gas, but it was really quaint!

This photo was taken at a little restaurant on Tortola. The BVIs are famous for lobster caught on one of their small islands, Anegada, so of course I had to have an Anegada lobster dinner. They didn't just bring you a lobster tail though...as you can see they brought the WHOLE lobster! It was so yummy I ate all but 3 bites all my myself!
HUGE yummy Anegada lobster! Yep, I ate it allllllll.....

Nic even got to drive the boat!

This is the resort that Nic and I stayed at in Jan. of 2008 when we went to Virgin Gorda, as seen from our boat in the harbor. We went back to visit one Friday night, because they have a famous beach bbq on Fridays. We missed it on our last trip, but we made sure to catch it this time. Nic, of course, ate a small ton! of food, and then these Jumbie dancers come out and dance on stilts. It was really fun!

That's all the pics we got before our camera battery died. We had a blast and will definitely be back!
