I can't watch tv anymore!

I just have to express my absolute disgust in the news media. When did it become acceptable to deliver personal opinions rather than the true facts?! I was watching the Republican Convention last night and I was bombarded by personal opinions from democratic idiots. I wish there was a way to change things back to the way they were many years ago. Stop trying to sway people with personal opinions, we are smart, we can make up our minds based off of sheer fact.

And another thing, why do celebrities think we care who they support? Most of these people are glorified drop outs. That doesn't give them any political gusto. Most didn't attend college. Let alone major in something relevant to politics... they majored in art!! Woo hoo... that gives a leg to stand on in the political arena. I just wish they would keep their opinions to themselves and stop trying to influence the young voters.

I will now step off of my soap box because I feel much better!

Bath Time

Thanks to Myra, I now have a new way to bathe the girl. She took her first bath in the big bath. She splashed around and absolutely loved it!!

Labor Day Weekend

This weekend was tons of fun. Abigayl was actually able to go down to the water a little more and I wasn't so room-bound. Rusty, Abigayl and I took walks every day. There was tons of family so Abigayl was always in someones arms!! I think she really enjoyed all of the attention. I think a couple of times she actually looked around the room to make sure everyone had their eyes on her!

On Saturday night, Ronnie boiled some shrimp. I'll tell you what.... the Cajun's know how to boil some shrimp!! It was delicious! I was in hog heaven! I wish I would have gotten some pictures with every one's hands and fingers all messy with their piles of shells in front of them..... mmmm.

Last time I was at the lake I got hurt on the hot dog. This time at the lake I dove off the dock (like I have done all summer) Only this time.... my legs and feet scraped the rocks that were just 4-5 feet below the surface. Not fun. I should have taken pictures of my war wounds!

We had the usual activities of water skiing, tubing, hot dogging, jet skiing. Here are my pretty nieces getting ready to ride the blow up jet ski.
They only fell off a couple of times. Looked like fun!
After a long day of playing in the water... time to head up for food.
Abigayl's first time on the boat. It was 7 am and the water was so calm.

Abigayl playing with the wheel while daddy got his fishing pole out!
Rusty can drive and fish.... very talented! But, no luck with the fish that morning.
Such a sweet angel... she was great all weekend.
Ronnie helping me with the big girl! I don't thin she really like the life jacket at first. But then the rocking of the boat put her straight to sleep!
Abigayl with her beautiful cousins.... now there is a blond, brunette and a red head!

Abigayl

Abigayl is 3 months and is weighing in at 15 lb. Not only has she discovered her hands but now she likes to blow spit bubbles!! Which means lots of drool! We went and got 3 month photos done last night so as soon as I have them I will post them.

Abigayl is sitting well when rested up against the couch... she didn't even fall over!
But, by the look on her face, I would say this wasn't her favorite activity!
We bought her a play center, so when she tested it out for the first time I think she was a little apprehensive! Now she loves being in it... there are so many things to play with.

We sometimes like to sit and watch her baby channel together... baby stuff is not that interesting to watch, more than anything it makes me want to sleep.

Another sweet surprise...

I was on the couch feeding my sweet girl when Rusty got home from work. As usual he came in and gave me a hello kissed and we talked about our day. Well, to my surprise, when I was throwing away a diaper there was a gift bag and a card on the kitchen counter. When I opened the gift bag I found the phone that I have been wanting!!! So excited... I took it out to play with it. Rusty then said, "don't throw the bag away". "Why", I replied......................

Well, not only did he get me the phone I was wanting but he also bought me a wallet I had been drooling over! Have I ever mentioned that I have the greatest husband?! Not only did he buy me theses sweet gifts, but he also informed me that he got a sitter for Friday night and made reservations at P.F. Changs!!! Yeah for a date!!!!

Sweet Girl!

This was a very interesting weekend! I had to fish poo out of Abigayl's bath (yuk! Be glad I didn't take a picture of that for all to see!!!) Also, Abigayl has discovered her hands so anytime they are in front of her she goes into a trance!!! Other than that... mostly uneventful.

We love story time.
Every now and again I can get her to giggle when I tickle her.
I just loved her big girl outfit...
Now she sits in my lap at dinner so I can eat hot food!
Her first time getting to "help" me cook. It's nice that she can be where I'm at.

She is a pincher!!! As you can see here.
These are the beautiful flowers that my sweet hubby brought home for me... I love it when he surprises me with flowers. But that's not all, he also picked me up a Dean Koontz book. I'll get to that one after I finish the Twilight Saga.
We got her to hold on to a toy... she was swinging it around and sometimes flung it pretty good!!
She loves playing with her daddy!
