</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the Fourth of July, We packed up our car and headed to Washington! I went to Washington with Abbigail <a href="http://drewandashleywright.blogspot.com/2014/02/washington-trip-jan-2014.html" target="_blank">back in January</a>, but Drew hadn't been since Thanksgiving and we decided that was too long! We left after work on Wednesday and stayed through Sunday. It was the best. We are all so spoiled when we go to Grandma and Grandpa's house. Abbi was the center of attention (like always), I'm pretty sure she is going to have some attention <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="1eabe793-c87e-4ee2-bc7c-6311151ec733" id="15ffde00-0e07-44df-aef1-df9fc97127eb">withdrawals</span> now that we are back home. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We enjoyed 4 days of relaxing, eating out, shopping and spending time with family. It was great! On Thursday though, Abbigail was acting a little off and everytime she had to pee (TMI?) she would scream! Something wasn't right. Thank goodness for modern medicine and doctors. We took her to one of the urgent care places, they took a urine sample and told us she had some kind of UTI. How do <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="c8fbc182-4e06-480e-b831-e0fe6a8cc236" id="386c824d-4bfb-4705-b92a-3b5e3a6f5f93">babies even</span> get those? Anyways, the prescribed an antibiotic and aside from the fever that came along with the infection, she was <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="b4728e22-b835-4a85-9616-a2efb99b5a48" id="d1738dad-2872-4276-bbcc-2301f4940d90">feeling</span> back to her normal self by Friday morning. Hallelujah! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="90f36b80-72f6-4f0a-8464-a3711a5ad28b" id="188d6c8f-01a9-4865-b7a4-ccf3da816f41">Abbigail's schedule</span> was <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="90f36b80-72f6-4f0a-8464-a3711a5ad28b" id="4aa8ab56-3e0a-45da-8666-59bdf2b6bf2c">kinda</span> messed up from the one hour time change. She was up at 5:30am every morning, which made for one tired Mama. But that also made for a tired baby and so for the Fourth of July we put her to bed at 8:00 and called it a night! Please tell me we aren't the only lame ones? But right outside my parent's window, people were setting off some pretty great fireworks, so we did enjoy quite the fireworks show without even leaving the house. It was perfect. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*** Also, I blame this on the pregnancy, but Saturday night rolled around and I realized I hadn't taken a single picture! I was so upset. But trust me when I tell you we had a great time and can't wait to go back! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sunday Morning came and we decided we didn't want to be done vacationing. Driving back home and going back to work just seemed so blah. Can I get an Amen? It took a while to convince Drew (a whole 30 seconds), but then we decided to drive over to Portland to visit his sister Janelle and her husband Jacob. They are kind of the best! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got to their house and went swimming, played card games and Abbi really enjoyed coloring on their back door with window markers. I guess maybe I should invest in some of those. We convinced Janelle that work was for Lame-<span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="7fb7d161-5306-43dd-b4b8-cfce7b90be22" id="dfce0705-5be5-4959-836e-b3268ea4bd80">O's</span> and she took work off for the next day. Jacob was a little more stubborn. Something about work is important and he couldn't miss. Darn you Jacob for being responsible! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We woke up Monday morning and made plans to head to the Oregon Coast for a little day trip. Drew realized one of his contacts had torn and he didn't have any back up glasses. Luckily Janelle's eye doctor saved the day and gave Drew a couple pairs of new contacts. They were awesome! After Drew put his new contacts in, we headed to the beach...</div>

Our day at the beach could not have been more perfect! We ate lunch at a little diner that sat right on the ocean! It was gorgeous! It was 65 degrees outside and overcast! It actually felt great, but we didn't pack a single jacket as we <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="aa0285cc-3cdd-4886-a301-861c896c69ff" id="e7c7b43b-64df-4478-8621-a26c9055aeb3">werent</span> planning on heading over this way. So darn it, we had to go buy some! :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Drew said he would just "Man up" whatever that means, but Abbi and I both got some new jackets that said Cannon Beach <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="35d350b3-0f1e-417c-a2d6-ff714ebdfa62" id="cc506204-6d55-4455-a473-42e5b967f462">on</span> them! We had so much fun going into all the little shops. They had a chocolate cafe and a candy store! It's safe to say that Abbigail ate more candy that day than she had her whole life, but she wasn't complaining. I guess that's what happens when fun Aunt Janelle is in charge! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://drewandashleywright.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-oregon-coast-video.html" target="_blank">Last year, when we were at the coast</a>, Abbigail really liked playing in the sand, but hated the water. This year was totally different. She still loved playing in the sand, but she also loved playing in the water, chasing seagulls, and finding treasure (shells) in the sand. She is a little beach babe, that's for sure! We stayed for a few hours, but Abbi would have been happy there all night too! After splashing/sitting/practically lying in the ocean, Abbi was pretty wet. (Note to Self: Next time we go to the coast, bring an extra pair of clothes for the baby and toddler!) We stripped her down, tried to get as much sand out of her diaper as we could and wrapped her in a dry blanket. I think we wore her out. And with that, we headed back to Jacob and Janelle's to pack up all of our things and get ready for our long drive back home!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had the best time! Thanks to Jacob and Janelle for letting us invade their place on such short notice. We sure love you guys! </div>

Back in March, (I know, still playing catch-up) My brother Cameron and his cute wife McKenna came to visit us! We always love seeing those two. While they were here we went to Shoshone Falls. The canyon was absolutely stunning, the waterfalls were pretty and they had the cutest little park that Abbi just loved playing at. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not sure why she was so grouchy, but unless she had "kitty" with her at all times, she wasn't happy with anyone! So, Kitty went with her EVERYWHERE that day. Abbi and Kitty especially enjoyed playing on the swings with Aunt Kenna and going down the slide! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After the park we did a little shopping. It's just about impossible for me to go into Twin Falls and NOT stop at Target. (Curse you, you beautiful store!) So we went to Target and also to the DI. We found some good treasures. Cameron saw a practically brand new game of <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="8639d138-3875-4009-8006-bf692c50d94a" id="57fa824a-577b-45d0-8f2c-09d0ddd900d2"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="9b0d3363-42f4-4369-b77a-9a4442b93116" id="54b34dd1-6ec6-4ff6-a090-22c7fc0dbd89">Scategories</span></span> for only a couple bucks. Don't you love when that happens? So of course, when we were done shopping we went home to play Scategories. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For dinner, we went to this pizza parlor here in Kimberly. From the outside, it doesn't look like much, but we had heard good things about it, so we went for it! It was the best pizza I'd ever had! SOO Delicious! It was small, and the people were so kind and personable. We so enjoyed it! </div>

Okay, you guys, let's get real! This Kansas Trip was a whole month ago! With my "pregnancy brain" I can't even remember what I had for dinner last night, so I'm not about to try and remember every specific detail about our fun trip to the Kansas City Zoo. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can tell you a few things though.. So here they are:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
+It was like 75 degrees and sunny on the day we decided to go to the zoo and it felt like summer! (Let's be honest, living in Idaho that's the closest I've been to summer since August.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
+Both babies had a blast! I don't think either had much of a morning nap, and they were still happy! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
+Speaking of no naps, Abbi gave up and fell asleep in her stroller half way through our day and she was OUT! Loud sounds, the sun in her eyes, stinky animals, nothing could wake her up! We gave her about 20 minutes to sleep and then I took her out of her stroller and woke her up. Let's just say I wasn't exactly her 'best friend' after that...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
+ Hailey loved the penguins and Abbi loved the Lemurs. I think she stayed at their exhibit for 10 minutes just watching as each one leaped from branch to branch. {And can I just say I had <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jj9u6SGB_GY" target="_blank">this theme song</a> running through my head the whole time. Drew had never heard of this show, please tell me I'm not the only one?!?!} </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
+We had an absolute blast! I wish we lived closer to Lindsay and Hailey, we could make this a daily thing and I don't think any of us would/could get sick of it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

We didn't waste any time that next morning! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We woke up bright and early! {<span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="429fc992-450c-49f6-9bcb-43bea007c3cb" id="a02dfddf-48dd-4117-9b01-9783b921421d"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="e5e57e4b-7db8-4e2a-b1a4-7800bea0e618" id="2f767c08-97dd-4e77-b4c5-395bc3a00b04"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="2b50b319-79d7-4d3f-b26c-26498163004e" id="708d69f1-7947-4bc4-9f5c-158804d38aa8">thank</span></span></span> you time difference and a stubborn toddler who doesn't know how to "sleep in"} After breakfast, we all got ready and headed out for an afternoon of fun! First stop was Panera Bread. I feel as though I missed out! Pregnancy food aversion and nausea were acting up and I didn't really get to enjoy my lunch! </div>

After lunch, we ventured into an older part of Kansas City to the children's museum. The neighborhood seemed a little bit questionable, but the museum itself was so fun! Obviously, well used and <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="9341742d-76c2-4fd2-9b29-59868d06c840" id="09134d72-e162-4a2f-86a2-8abe4e960cb7"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="b538dfac-833b-4488-aaf6-ca5a181c1363" id="ef3f5fe6-e6f9-4da8-8dcb-57bcd626b731">so so enjoyable</span></span>! </div>

The museum had a bunch of different rooms all with different themes! It was so fun! As we started to leave each room, Abbi would have an absolute meltdown. She was having so much fun and didn't want to leave. Then, we would show <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="afaf1aab-b564-49d5-83c3-59a0708b828c" id="62f1355b-7099-4369-8f97-85daf0b5fff8"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="10415055-a725-4a30-9d00-18f0bde601af" id="51fe51f8-073e-409f-8b06-f16917f7b2e6"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="f91e09b6-aad3-47d2-beca-10763cf3c6c0" id="4eac5dc2-4005-4bd9-9d55-7cab611d1b9e">her the next room</span></span></span> and her face would light up! It didn't matter what was in the room, it was the coolest thing she had ever seen! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of her favorite rooms was the little shop they had full of recycled materials. They were selling things like toilet paper rolls, cardboard, old pieces of metal, aluminum cans, <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="442ed2c2-7f29-4ac2-932f-f6c64f583c1a" id="9f08bd2f-104c-4752-a343-cd07798d2353"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="4dddf85d-8eac-4d87-95ee-d68bd5cd7c2b" id="fbfee39c-1655-440a-8ed9-517db76b9354"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="caa1c3f5-5b9c-430d-ba12-b14b4239d771" id="ff399333-9897-4ebd-8d16-b6f4154ed3d4">etc</span></span></span> for dirt cheap. Essentially, it was a room full of garbage for sale and Abbi couldn't get enough. I think she is going to be a creative little booger when she gets older and <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="24bbf386-9b13-4168-8959-1c18bb4b2ab6" id="636863ff-743a-43ee-ba5a-bd484c04c9d2"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="64ade72d-ea3d-4c79-b3b7-8ef11cc8cec5" id="081ad1c6-76b0-4d0e-bd2e-a1d2d0d59834"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="cf815154-97fa-42ff-ae9c-9d4d25fc6367" id="47e28041-e631-4ebc-bc5c-1a8056fba555">she</span></span></span> she didn't get that from me.

I know Valentine's Day was like 2 years ago... But I found these pictures and couldn't not post them! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know a lot of people don't care for Valentine's Day. I've heard people say they think people should show their special person they care about them every single day of the year not just on one day. I couldn't agree more! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, that doesn't mean if we do show our special person we love and care about them every single day of the year that we can't go above and beyond to make our person feel special. I'm a strong believer in Valentine's Day. I believe in love. I believe it is important to make sure your significant other knows how much you adore them. They need to know that you love them, and couldn't imagine life without them. They need to know that you would do anything if it means making them happy because their happiness is that important to you. Valentine's Day is the perfect day to reaffirm this. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Valentine's Day is not about you. </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Valentine's Day is about the other person. How can you make their heart happy? How can you brighten their day/week/year? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The way to Drew's heart is a Little Caesars pizza and a Route 44 Peach Dr. Pepper from Sonic. He will forever be my favorite person to shop for because that and new socks, ties, or white shirts will always be his answer for "what do you want for your birthday?" or "what's on your Christmas list?" It's the simple things that make him happy and I absolutely love that about him! </div>

Abbi and I had such a good time making cards for our special guy. Also, we discovered that Abbigail has a <strike>love for</strike> obsession with stickers! She couldn't get enough of them! Of course after we finished her card, she had to admire her work saying "wow" and "pretty!" She was pretty proud of herself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I remembered how I want to be successful in different photo shoots with Abbi and I thought I would take some pictures of her in her adorable Valentine's Day PJ's. I think it was pretty successful! When I told her to say "cheese" she fell to her knees and started pouting but that didn't last long. After her short pout session, she got on all fours and started growling at me. I guess my little pet lion didn't like the idea of a photo shoot after all. {<span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="9831504b-2dfc-4788-9c16-9fe86a6d7fcb" id="5e771226-a436-453d-b6a8-bdb6655852da">surprise</span>, surprise!}</div>

Really, We just want Drew to know how much he means to us. He is so hardworking, committed, caring, loyal, loving, silly, energetic, thoughtful and I don't know where we would be if we didn't have him in our lives. Life definitely throws us curve balls, but I wouldn't want to take on this world with anyone else!</div>

We sure love you Drew! Thanks for everything you do for us! </div>

One year ago, my sister gave birth to a sweet baby girl. Hailey Rae Simmons was born and there was nothing I wanted more than to pack my bags, fly on a plane and cuddle my new baby niece. My mom was flying out and she offered to let me and 6 months old Abbi tag along. We were so excited! But the day before we were supposed to leave, Abbi had a fever spike and she started coughing. I took her to the doctor the and she had an ear infection and he wanted us to go to the hospital and get tested for RSV. To the hospital we went and our poor baby did in fact have RSV. I called my Mom and canceled our trip... </div>

My Mom was flying out to Kansas for Hailey's first birthday and invited us to come with her! YAY!<br />
{We were stoked!}<br />
<br />
I told Abbigail she wasn't allowed to get sick or else I would ground her for life! Luckily, she listened.<br />

We packed our bags and even though we were a little nervous to leave Daddy and fly on a big airplane, we headed to the airport! Our flight from Twin Falls to Salt Lake City was only about a half an hour. Abbigail did SO well! We read books, said 'hi' to just about everyone on the plane twenty times and ate snacks. The only time she cried was on the descent. I was one proud Mama.<br />
<br />
My Mom was waiting for us at the Salt Lake airport. We were so excited to see Grandma! It was so helpful to have her to help with Abbi while on the airplanes and throughout our vacation. Our flight from Salt Lake to Kansas was a little over two hours. I was nervous because Abbigail doesn't usually cuddle or fall asleep in my arms.

After a long, long evening of flying, we arrived in Kansas about 11:30, but after getting our luggage, waiting for a rental car, and driving to Lindsay's house, we didn't make it to bed until about 1:30 AM. We were exhausted and slept great!<br />

Then it was time for presents. Daniel was kind enough to share and let Abbi and Ryker play with his presents as well! Okay, let's be real. He didn't have a choice. Abbi and Ryker very enthusiastically showed Daniel how his new toys worked and then never gave them back. {<span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="0e99241c-c0fe-4952-b47d-5f98ce4b778b" id="0a7ae8f0-eed8-4789-a045-b3d3f7659b74">those</span> sneaky toddlers} Luckily, Daniel was pretty entertained with the balloons that were on the ground or the situation could have been a lot more dramatic. </div>

We had so much fun celebrating with this little dude! Even though I'm not 100% okay with the fact that he is growing up, I'm happy that I live close enough that I get to see it all happen! He is such a happy little guy, Abbi just adores "Bubba" and he adds so much joy and personality to our family! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>We love spring! It seems like the perfect time of year.</i> The flowers start blooming, the birds are singing and it's good weather to go on a nice family walk and enjoy each others company. We had a random few days back in Feburary that were very springy. {And I didn't complain one bit.} This particular day, we waited until Drew got home from work, played with Abbi's car, and went on a walk around our neighborhood. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We LOVE where we live! After only having two weeks to find a place and move, we were really nervous about signing a lease and being "stuck" in a place we hated. But I am absolutely certain that God had a BIG part in us finding this house to rent. It is the perfect size, less than a mile from Drew's school, in a great ward and there are a ton of kids in the neighborhood. We feel so blessed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As we walked, we started dreaming. There are a couple houses for sale and a few lots as well. One day we will buy/build a home and we will make it our own and raise our family there. I think about it often. But for now, we are just enjoying life where we are at. We're grateful for a good job, house, ward, community and family. I couldn't help but smile as I was holding my sweetheart's hand, he was pushing Abbigail in the stroller, she was talking to herself, and we were just reflecting on our many blessings. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

It's Friday Afternoon. Drew comes home from work and announces "Tonight is Donkey Basketball and I think we should go!" I grew up in a city of 60,000 people. I had 800 kids in my graduating class and we never, never, ever had a thing called "donkey basketball". I was <b>sure </b>Drew was pulling my leg. I thought for sure this was one of those times where he was teasing me and after he had convinced me it was real, he would come back a couple hours later and say, I was totally kidding, I can't believe you fell for it kind times. After two hours, I finally told him I would believe it when I see it. We first we to dinner at this cute, local pizza buffet. I gave it a thumbs up, plus it had a little photo booth there so of course we took advantage of it! </div>

After dinner, we drove over to the gym. We walked in, heard some kids say "Hi Brother Wright!" (I love when he gets recognized around town by his students.) We found our seats and a few minutes later they brought the donkeys in. </div>

You guys, this was probably the funniest (most funny?) thing I have seen in a long time! They rode donkeys and played basketball. It was nuts! Some donkeys wouldn't move, other donkeys booked it down the court it was hilarious! Abbigail was entertained the whole time! She thought the donkeys were horses. We tried teaching her donkeys say "hee-haw" but she was pretty content with a neigh. She yelled, laughed, cheered, clapped! Sitting on the bleachers wasn't good enough for her. She wanted to be right up against the railing, so she could really see what was going on. She's a hoot. </div>

Drew and I found that website one day and probably spent the next hour peeing our pants from laughing so hard. We weren't laughing AT the people... Okay, maybe we were, but we were laughing harder because we could relate! Seriously, that is the story of my <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="ebcc0ada-089a-4395-9e1e-0f293f5ce35d" id="590d11fa-7f1e-4995-a972-e6e3aeba8edb"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="22bf56f3-297b-4d8c-a9d6-c5d2c33273d1" id="124a315e-21be-47c3-a147-bd3a958f4f73"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="bbd1f96c-2827-42ea-9436-9aa709672ef2" id="fd30cd19-c99f-4c51-a6aa-8379da26bf44">pinterest</span></span></span> projects!</div>

{Our sugar cookie adventure was no different.}<br />
<br />
I love reading other blogs, especially when I feel like I can relate to the blogger. For those of you who blog, you know that blogger that you have never met in real life, but you're pretty sure if you did meet in real life you would be inseparable best friends. <a href="http://peace-love-lauren.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Lauren</a> is one of those bloggers for me. Her blog is cute, she is cute, her sweet little girl Millie is stinking cute and they live in the cutest little farm house. If you didn't catch it, they have a pretty cute life.<br />
<br />
She posted <a href="http://peace-love-lauren.blogspot.com/2014/02/mommy-millie-baking-cookies.html" target="_blank">this post</a> last week and I died. Dare I say that word again?! CUTE! I thought this was the best idea and I couldn't get over how cute she was baking cookies with her prego belly and Millie standing next to her. I loved it and thought "Abbi and I should do something like that!"<br />
<br />
Sugar cookies sounded good to me. A few weeks ago, I tried a recipe I found on Pinterest. I wasn't crazy about it. So for this sugar cookie making adventure I decided to go with the tasty premade dough from the store. But that also meant the only thing I could get pictures of was the frosting making.<br />
<br />
Maybe I feel like this was a fail because I didn't have my tripod, so I had to hold the camera the whole time and couldn't really get any pictures of Abbi AND me. Maybe it was a fail because I don't know how to edit my pictures and we had terrible natural light. Maybe it was because unlike Lauren, my "prego belly" consist of 5% new baby belly and 95% flabby baby weight from my last pregnancy (so it's not the cutest.) Maybe it was a fail because instead of chocolate chip cookies, we did sugar cookies and the frosting was EVERYWHERE! It got on my walls, floor, Abbi's clothes (hence the naked baby), her hair and all over her body, but maybe that's what made it more fun!<br />
<br />
We had a blast and Abbigail especially loved it, but it just didn't turn out how I wanted it to. Looking at the pictures now, I realize I got <i>some </i>cute pictures (Abbi makes anything look cute) but I think we will be trying this again. I can't stop, won't stop until I get my dang cute cookie making photoshoot. </div>

{Rewind to January 2013}. When Abbigail was four months old, I had this thought/feeling that it was time to have another baby. Crazy, right?!? We had just had a baby four months prior, I already had a baby that was still waking up a couple times a night, barely rolling over, not talking, not eating solid food, heck she was still wearing newborn/0-3 clothing. What was I thinking?! But I couldn't shake this feeling. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I brought my predicament up to Drew. I'm sure he thought I was nuts, but he was so calm and loving! We decided to both pray individually and as a couple to see what God had to say about this. It didn't take long for us to both receive our answer that we were indeed supposed to have another baby. Fearfully and excitedly we stopped taking birth control. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>{Eleven Months Passed.}</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I understand there are some women, even some close friends that struggle with infertility for years! I'm not pretending I know what they are going through. I can't even imagine. One year may not seem like a long time, but I can tell you it was the hardest year of my life! I couldn't understand why God would tell us to have another baby, and then not allow us to conceive. What was going on?! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This experience, as hard as it was, definitely humbled me. It taught me to have patience and to rely on God. It taught me that faith in God includes faith in His timing. It taught me how to pray more personally to God and really tell him what I was feeling and how much I was struggling. I think I can speak for both Drew and <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="1936ca2a-a22a-4182-90a0-132ad1ffc3df" id="3f3f6303-523e-45ee-a3ac-6c1174520513">I</span> when I say our relationship with our Father in Heaven grew so much stronger during this time. </div>

Drew was offered the Job and we moved to Kimberly. My parents came to help us move in. My Mom asked me If I was pregnant and I told her I wasn't sure, but I didn't think so. She told me she had a feeling that I might be. Mothers Intuition?! I took a pregnancy test that weekend and it was <i style="font-weight: bold;">positive. </i>I couldn't do anything but cry. I was/ am so grateful to God for this chance to bring another sweet baby into this world. </div>

Currently, I am 10 weeks pregnant. We are due on September 16th, 2014. We couldn't be more excited! I am feeling the effects of "morning sickness" pretty much every day, but it is so worth it. Abbigail is already so nurturing with her baby dolls and stuffed animals. She loves babies and I know she will be a great big sister! </div>

At the end of January, Abbi and I were feeling like an adventure. So we made a quick decision to go to Washington to visit my family! Although we moved two hours closer than we were, it is still <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="1f7a1087-79a6-42b3-b0b0-531b296398d8" id="0a190088-0253-4efa-8f5c-19846690f9ba">a</span> L-O-N-G trip but oh so worth it. This was our first vacation without Drew. It was hard (I'm the biggest baby when it comes to being separated!) but Abbi and I had so much fun with my family! We spent four days playing with cousins, shopping, eating out and just having fun! I'm so glad we went! Plus, Abbi and Kael were able to play and get to know each other and they are adorable! They just love each other and they played surprisingly well! I don't think we had any hitting, biting or toy stealing, so I'd call it a success! </div>

Christmas was so fun! Isn't it always?! I just love the holiday season! Everyone seems so much more cheerful, inviting and friendly! Can't we all be that way all year round?! That's my goal for the year. Treat every day like Christmas! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had almost the whole family in Inkom for Christmas! Janelle and Jacob weren't able to make it, but they were there in spirit (and Facetime) which isn't as good, but we will take what we can get. With 4 babies, it was chaotic, but oh so fun! We all had a blast! Ryker, Abbi and Daniel had so much fun playing with one another. Every time they get together, it's like they've never been apart. Seriously, they're the three amigos and I love it! Sweet baby Julia was the cutest thing ever and has already changed so much since these pictures! It's nuts how fast babies grow up! Nuts I say! I'm not sure I'm totally okay with that, but that doesn't seem to matter. They just go on and grow up anyway. Although, they seem to get more and more cute as they get older. Is that even possible?! I know, I didn't think so either, but it is and they do! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Back to Christmas! We all had a great time opening gifts and enjoying each others company. Also, there was a good hour, maybe an hour and a half that all of the babies were napping at the same time and it was glorious! We were able to sit down and play some games without wondering what the kids were getting into. It was nice. Nana and Grandpa spoiled their babies rotten (as they should) and the kids just adored them! I think they were all in Heaven. Cousins, Nana AND Grandpa? I don't think it could have been any better! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The best part about Christmas for me is always the great company! I'm so grateful we were able to get together and spend time with each other. That's the most important thing. Right? The food was good, presents were fun, but spending time with the whole family was my favorite part! </div>

You guys, enough is enough! I'm pretty sure I've been sulking in my "I don't have anything to blog about" attitude long enough. I was reading past posts I've written and I realized I miss blogging! Plus, I'm only hurting myself when I don't do it. I was so good at recording our life and I've missed so much! So I'm back! Full force! Get ready for some great posts. For now, I'm just going to do some catch up posts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
********************************</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last year was a pretty challenging year for us. After graduation, we moved down to Inkom where Drew did is Student Teaching for Seminary. We love seminary, but student teaching was only a part time job. When Drew first started teaching, he was able to work with his dad as well, but his second trimester schedule didn't allow that. We were living off a part time job and that's hard financially and emotionally. We were trying really hard to put our trust in God because we had felt good and peaceful about Drew's decision to teach Seminary. This was what we were supposed to be doing. But if we're being honest, there were A LOT of hard, hard days. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then, just before Christmas, Drew got a call from his boss asking if we could come to his house and meet with him. I immediately felt my stomach drop. Just before this phone call, Drew had heard about a few different student teachers being told they weren't being hired and we didn't know what to expect. This was either really good or really bad. {Spoiler Alert: It was really good!}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He told us that they would like to offer us a full time position teaching seminary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. And you guys, we were speechless. We had been praying for this day to come, but we totally weren't expecting it. He told us a spot had just opened up that morning in Kimberly, Idaho. My first thought? I don't even know where Kimberly, Idaho is, but I don't even care! We are accepting this job offer! ;) He told us we would have two weeks to pack, move and settle in. TWO WEEKS! Drew would start teaching on January 6th. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After speaking with Drew's boss and his family for awhile, we accepted the job offer and headed home. We were both feeling overwhelmed. We drove home and googled our new home. Kimberly is about five minutes outside of Twin Falls. It has a population of about 3500. There are multiple gas stations, a grocery store, a couple fast food places, an elementary school, middle school and a high school and two different LDS churches. Not huge, but not as small as Inkom. We were thrilled! We told all of our family and then the fun started! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our life for the next two weeks was nuts! Between our drives to and from Kimberly to find a place to live, Christmas and packing, we had little time for anything else. Luckily, we have awesome family and they helped us get finished packing in no time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On January 3rd, the moving truck came and we headed over to our new home. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We absolutely LOVE it here! The town is small enough that I pretty much know my way around and can even remember street names when talking to other people! Twin Falls is close enough that we have plenty of options for shopping and eating out. The weather is very mild compared to our previous homes (Rexburg and Inkom) and we love that! The people we have met are extremely friendly and we feel very comfortable here! We're excited to continue our adventure here and see what life has in store for us! </div>

Okay you guys, let's get real. I don't know what happened to me. One day I was all "I love blogging!" and "I'm doing a post everyday!" Then one day I woke up and I didn't feel it. I didn't feel like taking my camera places to document and I didn't feel like putting my thoughts and feelings into words and creating a blog post. I just wasn't (and still not) feeling it.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I'm in a blogging rut</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So in hopes of documenting events that have happened in the past two months, I'm doing this catch up post. Hopefully, I can do something and my desire for blogging will come back full force! For my blogging friends, any suggestions? How do you find inspiration for blog posts? How can I get out of this rut? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay, Let's get down to business...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Halloween</b> (yup, it's been that long, my friends)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a love/hate relationship with pinterest. Seriously, I get so much inspiration from pinterest and I actually feel like I could be creative/crafty (which doesn't come naturally) so naturally I wanted to <i>make</i> Abbi's costume and I wanted all three of us to <i>match. </i>So I turned to Pinterest. Long story short, Halloween this year was SOOO stressful for me and procrastinating probably didn't help my feelings one bit. But I was doing everything last minute and I know we could of had better costumes but this is what we came up with: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seriously, Abbi could make anything look cute... But safe to say next year I'm going to <i>buy</i> our costumes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, the week of Halloween my Sister-in-law gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and their little boy Ryker came up to Inkom and stayed with Drew's parents. It was So fun to play with Ryker! Abbi LOVES him! She would follow him everywhere and laugh at every silly thing he did! They are so funny. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At the beginning of November there was a gorgeous fall day and I forced Drew and Abbi to go outside and take pictures with me. I think they turned out pretty good. Obviously, they would have been better if Abbi would have been looking at the camera, but it was her nap time and I'll take what I can get. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
For Thanksgiving, We drove to Washington to spend time with my family! We had such a nice time! My Aunt Holly and Uncle Casey and their seven kids drove up from Utah. We had a packed house, but that made it all the more fun! Of course we got spoiled while we were there. (My mom is really good at doing that, and I love it! ;) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, 1000,000,000 brownie points to my Sister-in-law Nicole for having her baby while we were there! Seriously, It made my whole week! There is just something about holding a newborn baby that makes the whole world seem okay again. Right? Kaysen is the cutest little guy in the world! I'm one happy aunt! </div>

On December 3rd, Drew turned 25! I can't believe I married such an old man! But in all seriousness, I am so blessed to have Drew in my life! I knew two weeks into dating Drew that I wanted to marry him. It was the easiest and best decision I have ever made! For his birthday Abbi and I took him his favorite lunch at school and then we he got off work, We dropped Abbi off at Nana and Grandpa's and We went out to dinner. It was pretty relaxed and very enjoyable! Happy Birthday Handsome! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next day, we had our ward Christmas party! Santa came! Abbi met Santa for the first time last year:</div>

Drew's Great Grandma Passed away on December 7th. She was 97 years old! NINTEY SEVEN! She was so sweet and happy. She is and will be missed by many, but we are so happy she can be reunited with her sweet husband. I'm grateful that we will be able to see her again! Also, a lot of family came from out of town for her funeral, some of whom I hadn't met before. That was nice to have the whole family together. </div>

I think that pretty much gets us caught up. Life is so busy, but at the same time nothing is really happening. Does that even make sense?! Abbigail is such a joy.

I can't believe our baby is 15 MONTHS old! What?!?! When did that happen? I was just telling Drew last night that I'm starting to forget her as a baby. We have tons of pictures and some videos but I'm having a hard time remembering specific events if we don't have them on video. It's making me all sad! My baby is growing up! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm loving where we are at though. Abbigail learns a new word or two every day! Seriously, I think she will be talking in full sentences by next week! ;) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to video her talking to me because well, like I said, without a video I forget things pretty easily and she sounds so darn cute when she talks! Enjoy! </div>

In fact, I felt inspiration from God that this was the <i>right thing</i>. So why do I have to wait for it?! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
+Having children is a really good thing. So why does it take some couples <b>years</b> to conceive a child and why are some couples not able to conceive at all?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
+Having a career and supporting a family is a really good thing. So why are so many people "jobless" and why is it so hard to find a job? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
+Spending time with family is a really good thing! So why does time seem to pass by the slowest when you are counting down the days until you can see your family?<br />
<br />
This has been pressing on my mind quite heavily. We live in a world offering fast food, instant messaging, WiFi internet, smart phones, on demand movies and immediate answers to almost any question we may have. We want immediate results and instant gratification.<br />

President Dieter F. <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="1cd3ec29-8edc-4a3b-8d5e-1f278ece1e81" id="439d2c26-9419-4ef2-8dde-9c35c48f0cab">Uchtdorf</span> spoke on this very subject. He said, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #2f393a; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;"><i>"Patience is a purifying process that refines understanding, deepens happiness, focuses action, and offers hope for peace."</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
He continues,<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #2f393a; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i>"Often the most difficult times of our lives are essential building blocks that form the foundation of our character and pave the way to future opportunity, understanding, and happiness."</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #2f393a; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #2f393a; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Although this is true, it doesn't make the wait any easier! Does it? </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #2f393a; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #2f393a; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">One thing I do know is that no matter our circumstance, Jesus Christ has felt our pain and afflictions! He absolutely knows <b>exactly</b> how we are feeling. No matter how long or difficult <i>the wait</i> may be, we are not alone! Our Savior understands. We can turn to him and he will "give us rest." (Matt 11:28)</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #2f393a; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i>"Patience means to abide in faith, knowing that sometimes it is in the waiting rather than in the receiving that we grow the most."</i></span></span></div>

So currently, I am trying to figure out how to save all of my pictures and get them off my card and onto my computer! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
