All our goings on

Thought I'd take a minute to update on the kiddos.   These pictures and video show our unique, fun and silly family. Timmy is almost 15 months, he can say mama, dada, ball, dog and woof.  He loves to color, signs please and all done and can wave bye bye.  He still isn't walking but is crawling fast as can go.  Abbie is getting excited to start preschool in the summer, we have been keeping busy with going to the library, visiting my dad, swimming, church and play dates.  Abbie loves to put puzzles together lately and she always enjoys helping me with anything, cooking, laundry, etc... She loves to play princess and we just went to a wedding last weekend where she enjoyed watching the princess get married. She actually colored the letter A all my herself while we went out to eat one day and I was so impressed since I never taught her how to do that. Another one of her favorites is playing dress up, she LOVES picking outfits to dress up in! One of Abbie's new phrases she says all the time now is, "I'm just kidding" She loves her brother and loves to pretend that he is rescuing her. She makes me laugh daily and I am so blessed to have this time with my children!  I know if I don't write all this out, at some point in my life I will forget these details so I am so thankful for my blog. Here are some pictures and video to share our little family.  Thanks for reading!

Change, growth and fun!

Well I set out to blog once a week and I haven't been able to follow through with that over the course of the last month, super thankful for grace!  My month has not slowed down at all but taking some time to write a quick update. A few MAJOR changes have taken place in our family, first Burdick Landscaping is growing and my husband is now working it full time.  I am very proud of him and how it is growing him personally also. My dad has also moved much closer to me which is such a blessing.  It seems like the past few weeks have been filled with activity after activity that was planned and we have been way too busy for our own good.  I am writing this to remind myself that it is okay to slow down! Abbie being three now seems like she is growing up soooooo fast! She is little miss negotiator on everything and is really putting me in a position where I have to set clear boundaries.  Her favorite phrase right now is because you love me, for example she will ask, can I have a snack now because you love me? She is a complete mirror of me and is wanting to talk all the time now to the point where I say enough talking.  Over the last few weeks we have had a lot of fun times.  Here are some pictures of our adventures which includes the Phoenix Children's museum, Phoenix zoo, Abbie's bath art whale (which I think I may have a budding artist), Coloring Easter eggs, and just being silly at home.
