Time to update with some pictures. Our camera is currently broken. I called a camera shop and was told they cannot fix Panasonic cameras because Panasonic only sells to electronic stores. This is too bad. We've tried a few tricks we found online, but so far nothing has fixed the focus error. So we've used the cel phones a few times to take pictures.

This is an old picture I found when pulling pictues off of my cel phone. This picture is from our June trip to Disnelyand. Abigail wasn't real happy about wearing her Mickey ears.

Sleeping at Grandma's. Adam had this picture on his phone. I think it's from October.

Abigail wearing the outfit and beads my mom brought her when she visited in October.

Grrr...

Ready to go Trick or Treating

Adam and Abigail made a fort one day when I was at work.

Another picture of the fort.

Bundled up for a chilly walk.

Sitting in her rocking chair with her dollies.

Abigail wanted to help me mop the floor for on Thanksgiving. She got frustrated once the mop was wet because she wasn't able to move it. She also pretended to vacuum with her pusher while I was vacuuming.

Following are pictures from our Christmas visit to Disneyland. This is when the camera broke. It was working when we saw Chip and Dale, but was no longer working when we went to see Santa an hour later.

Adam and Abigail infront of some bulbs in Bugsland.

All of us posing with Adam's favorite, Donald.

Chip and Dale get a hug.

These were taken with Adam's phone.

Abigail and I with Eeyore. She likes to hug the characters so it's hard to get a good picture without holding her in place.

Abigail visits with her favorite, Pooh Bear.

Santa Goofy, he was cute but we were expecting Santa. We did see Santa at another location though.

Abigail infront of our tree. She was dressed for the church party. The camera is kind of slow, and she doesn't stay still very long.

Just our tree.

Pictures of the Fence

Luke has asked me a couple of times to post some pictures of the fence that Amber and I installed. It was a lot of effort and time, but it looks really good, especially with christmas lights decorating them. I took them at night because that is when I thought to take the pictures. I haven't taken a picture from the backyard. There is a 6x6 fence piece along with a 3x6 piece to block off the neighbors.

Abby Swimming

This video was taken on Labor Day weekend. Abigail is working on her swimming skills.

End of Summer

I was not very good at keeping up with the blog this summer. Following are several posts from summer. This first post is the end of August and begining of September. Other posts go back to July. Summer has ended and I am now back to work and extra busy.

Playing in the hamper.

Adam's sister Michelle got married in August.

Abigail got to see all of her cousins this summer. We saw John's family as they drove down to California and back. Above, Cambree and Arika play with Sophie and Abigail.

One of Julie's, Leah's 3, our 1, and 6 of John's: Breidan, Sophie, Makaylee, Abigail, Cambree, Rhet, Elliot, Isabel, Arika, Rylee, and Cody patiently wait for their picture to be taken.

Happy girl.

These pictures are in backwards order, but Blogger doesn't make it easy to change. We visited Washington for 2 weeks this summer and stayed with my parents and Adam's sister.

A highlight of our trip was boating with Adam's sister and her family.

The Woods

The boat rocked a tired Abigail to sleep.

Sunset over the lake.

The Gambles.

My neice, Olivia, and nephew, Kyle, stayed at my parents for a few days during our visit. We spent some time at a local park and the zoo with them.

The first weekend we were in Washington, we headed to the Tilamook forest for some camping. Unfortunately Adam crashed one of the quads and was a bit banged up for the rest of our trip.

Disney 2

We used our annual passes to go back to Disneyland for 2 days in July. Adam's mom happened to be in LA visiting her sister, so she joined us for one of the days.

One of our first stops was to see Pooh and friends again. Here's Abigail with Tigger and Eeyore.


We staked out a spot kind of early for the evening parade. While waiting we had dinner; then Rowena and I took Abigail into Pixie Hollow. The Fairies were off preparing for the parade, but Abigail had fun visiting their home.

Finally, Abigail got to meet Minnie. We were actually on our way out, and figured that once again Abigail was not going to get to see Minnie. Then, there she was. We had to wait a few minutes, but it was worth it. Abigail really enjoyed meeting Minnie.
