This past Saturday, Valentine's Day, we went to Tia's 6th Birthday Party. There were ponies to ride on, so of course Abby loved them. She hopped right on and didn't get off until they were packing up and leaving. She had a lot of fun.

Finally Caught Up!
Wow, I think I finally caught up on the blog. It has really been a crazy year for us.
Brandon's mom got deathly ill in the middle of March and was in and out of the hospital until Thanksgiving. She had her stomach removed, so she was touch and go for about a month. She is definitely an amazing woman and I have seen the Grace of God in her.
Blake is doing good. He is now in 6th grade and 12 years old. He is starting to like girls and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I remember when Brandon and I started dating, he was only 5 years old and I still think of him as being 5 years old. Girls are now calling the house and he will stay on the phone for what seems like hours. He is truly a wonderful kid. He is the sweetest, most compassionate 12 year old you will ever meet.
Abby is our little princess. She LOVES to dress up and dance. Who does that sound like?? Everyday is an adventure with her. She can say her numbers and letters in Spanish and always learning something new. She is definitely just like her mother, temper and all. She is taking dance classes at school in the afternoons, so this May she will have her 1st dance recital. I can not wait! It's hard to believe that she will be 4 years old in July and in a year and a half she will be in Kindergarten. I still remember the day we brought her home from the hospital.
Brandon and I are doing good. Of course, our jobs have been really stressfull. Baptist had a lay off in May, so I've had to do double work for the past 8 months and it has been really trying at times. I think for both of us, this past year has made us realize how special we are to each other and how much our family means to us. We take so many things for granted, that it is hard to stop and be thankful for each an every day that we have with one other and everyone around us. We are so blessed to have wonderful families and friends.
Hopefully, now I can keep up with this thing.

Callaway Gardens
Right after New Year's, we took the kids up to Callaway Gardens for the day. It was overcast that day, but nice. We went to the Butterfly house, which Abby loved, and took a walk around the gardens.
Christmas 2008
We had a wonderful Christmas! Of course, Santa was REALLY good to the kids this year. They both got tons of stuff. Abby's big things were her Dollhouse and her Sleeping Beauty Vanity. Blake got an IPod, clothes and some toys.
Playhouse Disney Live!
Playhouse Disney come to Montgomery in December, right before Christmas, so Steph (my sister) and Mary Beth (my niece) came down and went with Abby and I. My mom even rode down with my sister so she could go shopping. It was a great day. I love it when my mom, sisters and I get together. We always have a great time.
Mary Beth and Abby are 3 weeks apart in age so they are more like sisters than cousins. They will get along for a little while and then they will start fighting and tattling on each other.
Halloween 2008
Abby really enjoyed Halloween this enjoy. She was a kitty cat for her school party and then before we went trick or treating she changed into her Tinkerbell costume. Brandon did a great job picking out the Tinkerbell costume, it looked so cute on her and she loved it.
Veggie Tales Come to Montgomery
The Veggie Tales come to Montgomery back in October. So, Abby and I went with Audrey and her mom to see it. It was really good and the girls had a blast.
Abby's First Swim Lessons
Abby took swim lessons at the YMCA back in August, she really enjoyed it. The only probelm was that she had a real hard time understanding the pool rules, like "No Running". I think the lifeguards would get on to her at least 2 times during her lessons.
Abby's 3rd Birthday Party
I know it's been a while since I posted, life has been really hectic in the Baker household. Between my job, Brandon's mom being sick for most of the year and everyday craziness, we have barely had time to breathe.
Here are some pictures from Abby's 3rd Birthday Party, that was held on 7/20/08. We had it at the YMCA Goodtimes Center. There were a lot of inflatables for the kids to bounce around on. They had a blast!
