It's a Party!!

We had our annual waterslide party for Alli's 3rd birthday this year complete with slip n' slide, cake, presents, snacks and lots of fun. Andy made her a fabulous Dora cake that we will be talking about for the next year I'm sure. She got a croquet set, art kit, Ariel doll, clothes, and a bike. Thanks to everyone who came. Alli had a blast!

Alli's current favorites;

color: yellow

movie: Little Einstein's

person: Carver (cousin)

song: You are my Sunshine

favorite thing to do with Jane: scare her

treat: a sucker

We love this little girl and life would definitely be dull without her. She still loves to be the boss and has a great time playing with the neighbor kids. She loves to read books, ride her bike, sing, talk on the phone, play at the park, go to the library, swim and much more. She is CONSTANTLY talking and keeps us laughing everyday. She has so much energy we can hardly get her to go to sleep at night. I don't know how she survives. She hasn't napped for almost a year now. It's bitter sweet to watch her grow up right before our eyes. I'm always telling her that she's too smart for her own good.

Happy Late Birthday Post

Andy celebrated his 26th birthday last month. The Friday night before his birthday I planned a surprise dinner at Fredrico's with our families. It was a fun get together that hopefully was enjoyed by all. Words cannot express my feelings and appreciation for this man so I will stop now and just show the pictures.

Happy birthday Andy, we love you!!

Alli's Birthday Party

Alli turned one year old this past week. It's amazing how time flies! Gone are the days when she would just sit on your lap during church. Gone are the days when she would hold still so I could wipe her snotty nose. She has quite the sassy personality. You would think she was turning 17. She says "hi, ball, and baby." She waves, blows kisses and started taking a few steps on her own at 11 months and has almost got it down. She is so much fun and life would be so boring without her!! We had a party for her on Saturday the 19th. We had a waterslide, slip n' slide and a fish pond with prizes. She dove right into her cake and made a huge mess. We had a blast! Thanks to everyone who came. Unfortunately we did not get pictures of everyone who was there. We were sad because 7 of her cousins couldn't be there. Most of them live far away so that is understandable.
