Bev's 50th Surprise Party

We had a surprise party for Bev on Saturday night and she was so surprised and excited. We had a great time dancing and socializing. Over seventy of our friends and family came to the lake to celebrate with Bev. It was a great night!

Go Cats!

Friday night we took Jason's gymnastics team to Lexington to watch the UK gymnastics team compete. We went to Gattiland before the competition and Brady had a blast watching all the kids. He loved the colorful cat and he was really good the whole night.

Opryland

Last weekend we went to Nashville and stayed at the Opryland Hotel with my parents and Kelly. Jason and my dad had a football conference so we went along and enjoyed the pool and went shopping. It was a really fun weekend. Brady loved the pool and the balcony of our hotel room. And of course the Aquarium Restaurant and all the fish.

Cookie Monster

Brady decided to get into the cabinet and help himself to some cookies. He dumped the entire bag on the floor and himself and as soon as I said his name he stuffed three in his mouth. What a mess!!

Brady and his buddy Sam

Brady and Sam got to play together for a little while tonight. Danielle needed to get out of the house so her and Sam came over and Molly stayed home with her daddy. Brady had some new toys that he got for Christmas to show Sam, but they had a little trouble sharing. Brady showed Sam his new balls and his big muscles. And Sam talked to Brady about Elmo and lots of other things. We can't wait until Molly can come over and play too. They will all have so much fun this summer at the pool.
Actually, Brady gets to go swimming this weekend at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville. Jason has a football conference so we are going to stay the night on Sunday and Gran, Grandpa and Aunt Kelly are going too. Brady can't wait to go back to the Aquarium Restaurant and see all the cool stuff at the mall. We'll let you know how the weekend goes. I'm sure it will be fun!

Family Pictures

Jason Propes recently did some family pictures for us. You can check them out on his website http://www.jasonpropesphotography.com/. Click on "client previews" and The Abell's. Login: Abell Password: Tamara. Jason did a great job even though Brady wasn't very happy because it was his naptime.

A Visit with the Kappes family

We had a good visit with the Kappes family today. Hopefully Hanna and Kody will move here with Harper and Scout so they can play with Brady all the time. Harper is so tall and talking all the time and Scout is so cute and starting to crawl. They had a good time playing with Brady and his toys. Hopefully we can go visit them in Morehead sometime soon or they can come back and see us.

Welcome Molly Claire Bryan!

We welcomed our new friend Molly Claire this week. Ben, Danielle and Sam welcomed a new member to their family, Molly Claire. She is beautiful and Brady and Sam can't wait to play with her and teach her all kinds of cool new things.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!
We had a "fiesta" at Gran and Grandpa's house on New Year's Eve. We had so much fun dressing up, even Brady had a little "Mexican mustache" for the night. Have a very happy and healthy new year!
