Halloween

Last night, we helped Callie decorate her pumpkin for the Pumpkin Decorating Contest at school. The kids had to decorate it like their favorite book. Callie chose How to Eat Fried Worms. Below are some photos along with our little pumpkin Abigail...

Our New Arrival Abigail Elizabeth

We welcomed Abigail Elizabeth into our family on August 11th at 7:16pm. She weighed in at 7lb 11oz and is 20 1/2 inches. She is precious and we feel very blessed to have her as part of our family. All of us are doing well. Below are some pictures...

Steve and Kim Tie the Knot!

On Saturday, Steve and Kim took their vows and are now officially married! Kevin was the pastor for the wedding, Mindy was the photographer and Callie was one of the flower girls. I think all of us need to go into business. We are a one stop wedding shop! haha Anyway, the wedding was very nice. Even though it was over 100 degrees outside, everyone managed to stay pretty cool in the chapel and reception area. Below are a bunch of pictures. Ended up taking over 300! Enjoy!

Rodeo and Horse Racing

The past two weekends, we headed out to a rodeo in Clarksville, TX and Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie, TX to watch some horse racing. We had a lot of fun at each. At the horse track, Callie ended up receiving a signed pair of goggles from one of the jockeys and wouldn't take them off until later that night. She was playing outside with them on and trying to ride Tex (our cocker spaniel)! haha

The rodeo was a lot of fun too. We went up to Mom and Dad Abbott's for the weekend and headed to the local rodeo. Steve and his family came too. Only wish it was a little cooler that weekend. But that's what you get for it being the middle of June!

Below are some pictures...

Kim's Bridal Shower

This past weekend a bridal shower was held for Kim, the bride-elect of Steve Abbott. It was a fun time and everyone enjoyed themselves. It was nice to see the Abbott family and also meet Kim's friends from church and work. Some of her family members also attended and it was nice to see them again. Below are some pictures from the shower...

Trip to San Antonio

We just got back from a couple days away in San Antonio. It was a nice a relaxing trip and we enjoyed the time together. It was our last trip before the baby arrives. The first night we headed down to the Riverwalk to enjoy the atmosphere it provides and to grab some good Tex-Mex. We found a nice place to eat and sat outside right on the river. However, we didn't realize that the ducks and pigeons would be eating with us. One of the ducks pecked at Kevin a couple of times. You couldn't leave your table cause the birds would come right up there and start eating the tortilla chips and left over food! The next day we headed out to Sea World and had lots of fun watching the shows. Then went to see Angels and Demons at the theatre close by the Riverwalk and then headed back to the Riverwalk for some dinner. Finally, we visited the Alamo and listened to a gentleman talk about the history of the Alamo and watched a movie in the IMAX theatre. Remember the Alamo! It was a great time. Check out the pictures below...

The Growing Belly

Just posting a picture of the growing belly. The baby is almost six months along now. Won't be too much longer until we get to meet him/her. Kevin has started putting the new floor down in the baby's room. Hopefully within the next month or so we will start moving the furniture in and decorating. We are getting very excited for the arrival of the newest member of our family.
