3 Musketeers...old and new!!!!

Several months back, Robbie, Abigail and I made the trip to Jonesboro for Labor Day weekend. We had a cook-out at Aunt Vickey's house and had a great time! Abigail loved the pool and playing with her new cousin Presley (Aimee and John's little girl) and hangin' out by the pool with cousin Landon (Amber and Don's son). If you have ever been around the Irby's very much you know who the 3 Musketeers are, and if you don't...your about to find out!! Here you go MawMaw...this posts for you!!!

The best mop in the world!

For Christmas this year, my mother-n-law gave me the EuroProX Shark Steamer. Alright wives and moms, I have to say that this is the best steam mop in the world!!! If you want super clean floors, this is the mop for you!!! I just thought that I had clean floors before!! I swept and mopped with lysol and thought that I was getting my floors clean. I was wrong! The first time that I used this mop I was disgusted with what I saw on the pad, now I use it almost everyday!! It is super easy to use and is very lightweight. I am a much happier person when my house is clean (arent we all?) and now I KNOW that my floors really are spotless!!!!! I would recommend this mop to anyone!!! Thank you so much mimi for getting this for me, I have already used it countless times and love it!!! GET ONE...IT'S AWESOME!!!!!

Louisiana weather

The south has a very unpredictable weather pattern, take that back...the south doesn't HAVE a weather pattern, it just has unpredictable weather!!! Sort of like when it snowed in March!!! Today the weather didn't let us down, it was very warm outside. But it did give Abigail and myself a chance to get outside and play in the water puddles!!! Abigail got to use her new rain boots which she LOVED (thank you Mimi!!!)!! She had the best time playing in the water, and got very dirty to boot!!!!! I was having camera trouble and didn't get to shoot as much as i wanted to, but here are a few pics!! Enjoy!!!

Christmas 2008!!!

I can't believe that it is Christmas already!! Time is going by way too fast. Abigail is growing more and more everyday, and never stops learning. Robbie and I were talking a few days ago and realized that Christmas is only a little over a week away, after Christmas, its New Years, then my birthday then Valentines Day then Easter then BOOM!!!! Abigail is 2 YEARS OLD!!! I'm not ready for her to be 2! Its all happening way too fast and my little baby girl is going to be my little terrible 2 year old! I'm sure it wont be that bad. Forgive me, I'm in a nostalgic mood. Brought on by the fact that I no longer have to rock her to sleep. Tonight all I did was put her in her crib (lights on) give her her blanket (goo) and her Binky (pacifier), tell her that her mama and daddy loved her and to have sweet dreams, turn off the lights and walk out!!! She didn't make a sound! I should be happy! This is what Ive been working for!! But I have rocked that precious baby to sleep every night of her life...except for tonight. Its bittersweet. But I'm done going on and on about that. I'm going to focus on my next challenge, NO BINKY!! We did it one night but that's all so far!! I have received requests for more pics of Abigail, so here you go Aunt Lavonda!!!

Sick, Sick, Sick. and update on little Robbie

I am VERY sick. Abigail and I both went to the doctor today. She just has a cold, I on the other hand have Pharyngitis. Not fun. I think I would feel tons better if someone would just tear my throat off. It hurts to swallow, eat, drink, talk, sit still BREATHE!!! Now im getting stopped up and a slight cough. My hip hurts too cause I got a rocephin shot. At least he GAVE me a shot though. This has been going on since Wednesday, and only getting worse. I'm sorry for complaining, I just dont feel worth a crap and need to get it out I guess. Abigail is feeling pretty good though, she just has a runny nose but I had to be sure she didnt have what I did. Update on Robbie's nephew: He is now at home, from what Robbie told me, he is doing good. Thank you all for your prayers. Promise my next post wont be so dramatic!!!

Catching Up...

Well, sorry folks for not keeping with my promise to blog everyday. If you only knew what has been happening around here, you would understand. Lets see if I can catch you up...

1. My cousin Matthew is getting married, I am the Matron of Honor, (enough said!!!) I have courageously taken on the responsibilities of helping the bride, my friend Jenny, plan the wedding. This has been going on for several months now, but is continually getting more stressful seeing as how the wedding is November 8th. (AAAAAHHHHHH, one week away!!!!!)

2. Abigail has had two, count 'em, TWO ear infections in the past 3 weeks. Which for us meant no sleep for 4 days, and she didnt eat a bite for 4 days. Her mouth was hurting as well, she was cutting two jaw teeth at the same time. (I know, it was horrible for all of us)

3. My grandmother turned 87 years old on the 21st.YYYYAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! Several of my aunts, my mom and I all planned an elaborate surprise party for her. My entire family was invited, and I have a huge family. It was like a family reunion. Here is a pic of me and Robbie from that day.

4. This Friday is Halloween, Abigail is Tinkerbell and I fully intended to dress up as Peter Pan and take her trick or treating, my best friend Amie is Ragedy Ann, and Robbie and Amie's husband Joey are gonna be huntin buddies. I havent been able to find a costume anywhere and my attempt to make one didnt work out so well. Needless to say I wont be dressing up, unless I put on my camo outfit and be a hunter like Robbie and Joey. I dont think Amie would like that very much though!!!

5. I have to work on Halloween and there is an 8:oo curfew. We have to trick or treat in 3 different towns. I havent the foggiest idea how we are going to accomplish this!!!

6. Saturday is the lingerie/bath shower that I am throwing for Jenny. AT MY HOUSE!!!! Ive lost my mind!! I spent all day today cleaning up and cleaning out and scrubbing things that I didnt even know were dirty!!!!

And to top all of this off, and I didnt even bother to bore you with everything, me and Robbie recieved some disturbing news last night. Im not going to go into any details but trust me, our family needs prayers for Robbies nephew. He is 6 years old and has suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns to his arm, back and stomach. Please Please Please pray for him to heal. Word is that he is in good spirits. Lets all pray for a speedy recovery. Now then, here are a few new pics of my beautiful little angel!!! Enjoy!!!

She was looking at a piece of rice and I just happened to snap when she was cross eyed!! How funny is this!!!

She fell asleep on the combine with Uncle Joe and Daddy

A Day Outside

Abigail has been sick for the past few days (ear infection, sore throat and sinus infection, yuck!) so we have been stuck inside. Today she wanted to go outside and play so I grabbed my camera and out we went!! Robbie's old cat Belle showed up (she comes and goes) and Abigail just loved her!! She pet her and said kitty kitty kitty and meowed when Belle meowed!!! It was too cute! Oh, before I forget, Abigail can say her name now!!! It comes out as Abigee and she can also say abby (but we're not encouraging that!!!!lol)

Belle liked Abigail too!

OOOHHH Kitty Kitty Kitty!!!
