Chicken -n- Dressing

We made this for dinner tonight...well Gerald did and I shredded the chicken and prepared the eggs ;)

It was our first time to ever make it so we were expecting it to taste awful, but it didn't! It was delicious. We love dressing and usually only have it during holidays. Abby on the other hand took one bite and spit it out. She said, "Eww its nasty there is something in it." :)

Beiber Fever

(sorry about it being sideways not sure how to fix that )
Abby is singing Justin Beiber's song Pray that she sings ALL the time, she definitely as "Beiber Fever". It's not the right lyrics she made her own. Pretty sure this is what she is saying "I close my eyes and I pray, I close my eyes and can barely see."

I love her :)

Christmas Tree♥

 

This is Abby and "Morgan", her baby doll that she is obsessed with. 

It is so sweet :)

Only 16 days until Christmas? This year sure has flown by!

It's been a month..

I haven't posted since Halloween, which seems like only yesterday, where has November gone?? Really there hasn't been anything going on though and without a camera I'm not a good blogger at all. As soon as I get one I'm going to have to start putting posting some Abby updates. We did go to the beach so here are some pictures from that:

So anyways, Thanksgiving wasn't the quite same this year, just a lot smaller and less eventful. Gerald had a kidney stone so me and Abby went over to my aunts and ate with her, my mom, and my grandmother. Everyone else couldn't make it this year, the food was really good though! Then that Friday was the IRON BOWL. Best/craziest game ever, Auburn was down 24-0 and came back in the second half. It was awesome, me and Gerald watched it at home with Abby, paced around the living room like crazy! Can't wait for the SEC Championship this weekend, WAR EAGLE!!

Saturday we went to his great-grandmother's funeral, it was very very touching, heard SO many great things about her. Abby came with us and got to see everyone which was fun for her! This week we got some bad news about Gerald's kidney stones, he is having surgery this Wednesday to remove it, so please keep him in your prayers, hopefully this will be the last surgery he will have for those things (he had one last year also). I'll post again soon :)

Love,

Trick-or-Treat

Halloween was a lot of fun, and Abby did great! Well, before it got dark Gerald's sisters took her to a few houses and a guy opened the door in a scary mask! They said she started crying and wouldn't let them sit her down or go up to any more houses! When it got dark me and Gerald took her around his parents neighborhood and it took her a while to warm up but she did fine. Every time we saw a scary costume, she would get close to us and just stare at it while we passed by haha! She would say "trick-or-treat, thank you!" We even saw one of her friends from school, the little girl just kept screaming "abby, abby, theres abby mommy." Then they hugged each other..it was so cute, she is really growing up :) :( 

Over all she had a lot of fun! Point Mallard was madness though, here is a picture I stole from his sisters blog (Actually stole all of these because I didn't get any of the night, lol sorry Christen.)

This picture was taken before 6pm..so you can imagine how much more packed it got. Lots of cops! We had a hard time getting Abby to keep her place in line, older kids would just rush up in front of her. Seems like everyone in Decatur trick-or-treats there. It was lots of fun though! Well thats about it, now on to the holidays, can't wait!!

First Zoo Trip

Abby went to the zoo a while back this summer and I forgot to post about it. (or at least I think I didn't..lol probably should of double checked.) Anyway, Gerald's sister, Tasha, and her husband took her with their two kids. I was just looking through pictures on my facebook and decided to add this memory to my blog for her to see one day. So here are some pictures of her FIRST zoo trip!!

 She was probably thinking this was just a huge kitty cat ;)

 Abby I love this face :)

 Can't believe she held that, i'm SO scared of birds because of that creepy old movie called "Birds"

What a cute lama!

Well thats it for her zoo trip!

Tonight is hallows eve & Auburn is still #1 9-0. Auburn (aka Cam Newton) just keeps amazing me! I believe we will make it to the national championship, and of course win. Can't wait to see! I'll post on our fun trick-or-treating tomorrow night soon!!!

Happy Halloweekend,
Tiffany

Chuckie Cheese

Last night we took Abby to Chuckie Cheese for the first time. She was SO excited when we pulled up. Not going to lie we kinda were too, wish we had a Dave & Busters in Decatur. So we got some tokens to play some games & of course let her ride in the Chuckie car that takes your picture (I think every kid has had there picture taken in that car, including me). She really loved getting the tickets and putting them in her purse. I'm glad we waited until now to take her because there were only a few games she could do, but it was just enough for her, any younger and she would of been bored. After playing the games we let her go in the play place. Mistake. She could barely get up in it which was pretty funny, but once she was up there, she was up there. There were older kids going crazy, sliding before she could even get a chance. So miss Abby decides to give up and climb out in the little tunnel and crack up laughing when we told her to come down. She thought it was hilarious that we couldn't get her. It was pretty funny at first.....but eventually the other kids slowed down and she came down the slide laughing :) The tickets only won her a airhead and pop rocks, but she was more than satisfied with that. I'd say it was a good time and can't wait to take her back!

Happy game day everyone!

Abby's Room

Abby is getting a new bed for Christmas and comforter. So I figured i'd just go ahead and redecorate her room into a "semi-big girl room" and i'm doing a owl theme with lots of learning pictures. Hopefully even with a bookshelf and tiny table if I can find one reasonably priced. I also made little laminated color/shape posters to hang up around her room. I really would love to find a small map, dry erase/cork board/chalkboard, and kids painting table too. Ha ha can you tell the list can go on, and on!? So if anyone runs across one of those items please let me know :)
Here are some pictures of the ideas I have for her room:

(These pictures came from Potter Barn Kids)

I'm not getting those pieces of furniture or whole bedding set exactly, i'm just basing it off of those. Maybe just even getting bits and pieces of the bedding with those cute stuffed animal owls. Let me know what you think?


Also I just got back from the Applebaum Childcare seminar and I have a few ideas for a cheap present to get Abby for Christmas this year (this is for family of course). I'm not forcing anyone to get her anything I just figured this was a pretty cheap gift that she would get good use from. I know my mom always would rather me tell her what we want her to have rather than getting something she wouldn't use very long. So anyways, Abby doesn't have many learning things right now and after going to the childcare seminar i'm  DYING for her room to be labeled with learning words, learning pictures, good books, fun learning songs, etc.
These are some books i'm looking for:

Barnyard Dance! by Sandra Boynton
Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown
Fiddle-I-Fee by Jakki Wood
Ten Little Lady Bugs by Melanie Gerth
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle
Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see? by Bill Martin Jr.
The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister
Corduroy by Don Freeman

Sorry this post is getting pretty long, that is all i'll say...hope everyone has a great rest of the weekend :)
War Eagle!!

My favorite month!

I haven't posted in a while, there hasn't been much to talk about really. Me and Abby go to work Mon-Friday (well school for her) and come home to be lazy, or some days go for a jog and to the playground. Other than that not too much excitement around here ha ha, times are rough. I'm sure almost everyone can relate in some way right now. Today is the beginning of October which makes me really happy, I love this month, really just this time of year! So many fun things to do with family & friends. Anyways, Abby is growing up so much. She loves school and it is teaching her a lot, they now doing "Your Baby Can Read." When she first started we had to pry her off of me, now she runs right in without even hugging me. Sometimes i'm bummed when that happens! I'm glad she has made friends though and she has such an imagination, she loves playing school when she gets home. The other day she said "I'm Mrs. Nicole" (her teachers name) "this is my class." It cracked me up! There is never a dull day with Abby, I need to start writing the funny things she says down. Well we're off to work/school, today is Friday..but tomorrow i'm going to Birmingham to the Galleria  for childcare classes that we are required to have so really tomorrow is my Friday!

Happy weekend and WAR EAGLE :)
