BigZabba has turned into quite the little fish. She is loving her time in the water.
Both BigZabba and LittleZabba have lost almost all their fear and are quite confident in the water. Check out their rock jumping. Next they will be cliff diving!
This week the girls are taking swim lessons. Today was day #2 and they are doing fantastic. I am really proud of them. I can’t wait to see their progress on day #5. Here are some highlights from today. **please try to ignore the crying in the background. some of the kids were a bit nervous/scared**
One year ago AllyZabba had a contest to see who could decipher LittleZabba speak. One of the videos was of LittleZabba dancing. We edited the video to make it shorter, and to cut out BigZabba’s gross display of food. The time has come to display the complete video in all its glory.
Sit back, relax and enjoy a good laugh. You could even try some of her moves.
I was looking through some old videos today, and these just cracked me up.
Enjoy!

We love you ShaSha! Have a super day!
Well Dad, I didn’t even know that the song was in Moonlighting, so you get super extra credit points for finding another one of my favorite shows that has this song in it.
This is what I was going for…
Name the show. For extra credit, name the scene.
Enjoy!
This shouldn’t be too hard….what is LittleZabba’s favorite book?
BigZabba had her Pre-K promotion today. We had a lot of fun watching her complete the obstacle course, sing a few songs, receive her certificate & speaking about her favorite field trip. She certainly has grown up over the last school year.
All the children decorated quilt squares so we presented the teachers with the class quilt.
We are so proud of our little girl. It is hard to believe how time flies.
AllyZabba hasn’t always been a trendy baby blanket designer. Her favorite food growing up was mac & cheese. When she tired of playing with her Barbies, she priced them with a black marker and sold them at pretend yard sales. Entrepreneurial? Perhaps. Trendy? No.
AZ has spent most of her life surrounded by kids. From her formative years helping out with Sunday School to her graduation day at Biola University where she majored in Liberal Studies she has been “about” kids. Immediately after graduation, she began teaching in a local elementary school and continued to enjoy the classroom for several years. It wasn’t until her own kids were on the way that she paused her career for the position of full-time Mom.
That’s when things started getting a little more trendy.
Once her daughters were born, AZ started sewing custom blankets for her daughters and friends. Every time she’d go out with a new blanket she got compliments from people asking where she got such cuddly and trendy blankets. The same spirit that was inspired to write 50¢ on the faces of her Barbies was beginning to get an idea.
Later that year, AllyZabba.com was born. The online store, named after a strange combination of her two daughters nicknames, immediately became a success. Sewing blankets, working with resellers and designing new products for the site occupied all of the kids nap time and often late into the night. Hearing the great feedback on the products has been the biggest rewards and keeps AZ inspired.
AZ still keeps mac & cheese stocked in the pantry, but her oldest daughter already has her own favorite food that indicates a more trendy taste—Edamame.
