Abby’s Birthday Party!

Wow, where does all the time go? I can not believe this past weekend we helped one of Owen’s best friends, Abby, celebrate her 3rd Birthday! You all remember Abby right? She is my dear friend, Jessica’s, daughter who is just 6 weeks older than Owen. It was a bitter sweet day for me because I know when Abby celebrates a birthday, Owen is next. Not sure why 3 is hitting me so hard, but it is. It could be the fact that he is fully potty trained now or that he is starting preschool in a few months, I really don’t know. I guess I am just so very sad that my Baby is all grown up now! Anyway, on a happy note, Abby’s party was a blast. She had it at the Albuquerque Zoo. We all met out front, walked around the zoo for an hour and then had a picnic in the grass and ate cupcakes and watched Abby open her gifts. My parents were so sweet and watched Autumn for me so Owen and I could have a little one on one time and what a fun morning we had! Here are a few pictures from the day. (Quick Note: almost all the pictures are of the back of the kids heads. They were so fast and so into watching the animals that it became nearly impossible to get a picture of them.) Enjoy.

I love them so much. They had a blast running around the zoo that morning. I mean it they were literally running, it was kind of hard to keep up with them.

Abby and Owen held hands nearly the entire time they walked around. Abby was feeling really lovey that day! Too cute.

I saved this picture for last because I wanted to do a little comparison.

The Picture above was taken on April 22, 2009. Almost 2 years ago and look how much has changed.  Abby was 1, Owen was 11 months and Olivia was 5 months old.

This picture was from this past Saturday, April 9th, 2011. Holy cow, look how much they have changed/grown. Us Mommies even look a little different. Excuse the hair flying in my face it was quite windy out. It scares me to think what this picture will look like in another two years!

 

Happy 3rd Birthday Abby! We LOVE You!!!!!!
