Allie & Sprouts along with Allie & the birds

Yesterday there were birds all over the yard, so Allie and I went out to feed them some bread.

They all flew away =( So we left some in the yard.

Allie saying CHEESE

Funny baby!

Allie & Sprouts

A few months ago I introduced everyone to Sprouts, Allie's elephant. She is still in love with him and for the past few weeks has been trying desperately to get on him. Well today she finally made it!! She'd been able to get on, but couldn't figure out that she needed to swing her leg over. So here is Allie (note her necklace and bracelet that her Poppy and Honey got her, she LOVES having a necklace on). She's also been smiling or saying cheese when I have the camera out, she does that in the video too. It's on the bottom video.

Day with the big girls

Last Saturday (Adam was out of town fishing) so we invited Allie's cousins over for a visit. My mom and Maw Maw came to help out and we had a fabulous day of cooking, swinging and playing at the park! Allie loves playing with her cousins!! Here are a few pictures!

Allie going down the big slide all by herself for the first time!



Mommy & Allie about to go down the big slide! Maw Maw Karen was waiting at the bottom!

Allie swinging with her Maw Maw Karen, I could not get a good picture of this, they were moving too fast. But Allie was having a blast!

Macie, Allie & Lexie
These girls are CRAZY! They played with Allie all day and were such big helpers!

Day at the Park

We went to the park last Friday with Tara, Dustin, Grammy and Pop and met Adam's Aunt Bridget, Uncle Glen, and his cousin Grant. Grant brought his jet ski and we all (except Allie and Tommy) took a spin around the lake. It was a perfect day!! We had a great time and here are a few pictures!

Allie and "Bop", she'll get Pop soon enough. I think that he is officially her favorite person at the moment! I love this picture!

Me getting on the jet ski......oh yeah I AM in jeans. Adam's cousin Grant was so careful I barely got wet!! I wasn't planning on getting on, but was talked into it (peer pressure) by Tara!

Tara & Dustin

I've maybe gone a little picture crazy!!

I know I didn't post anything for almost two whole weeks and all of a sudden I've been picture happy. However, we've been having such great weather we've been outside and doing new things almost everyday. This is a typical "mommy's little helper" pic. Today I was unloading the dishwasher and the timer on the oven went off. I took the brownies (YUMMY) out of the oven and when I turned back around I saw Allie on my dishwasher door. Notice how comfortable she's made herself in one minute, she's taken a shoe off!!! Since I'd been so picture happy my camera was on top of the dishwasher, so I took pictures before taking her off! Isn't she a doll?? That's the face she makes everytime she knows she's in trouble!!

Gardening and Fun at the park

Allie and I went to the park today (we met my friend Amy and her kids) and she got to play with her big girl friends!! She had such fun following them around and trying to do everything that they were doing! Which I should add made me VERY nervous!!

Merry Go Round
About to Slide
I took her Paci out soon after this, she doesn't usually get it while playing outside.

Sliding!!
WHEEEEE!!

Allie and her new garden tools

She loves getting the dirt into the bucket.

Her determination is so cute!

Carwash!!

Last night Adam washed his car and Allie decided to help him she had a GREAT time playing in the bubbles and helping out!

She played in these bubbles for probably 30 minutes.

She had a blast until the end. I don't know if her nose itched or what, but she kept putting her hands on her face and those bubbles getting on her upset her! And I (being the mean Mommy that I am) took a picture before toweling her off!!

Weekend with Daddy

I was sick this weekend, so Allie got to hang out with her Daddy ALL weekend (with some help from Grammy, both of her Maw Maws and then Honey on Monday)!! They had a great time playing outside and it was perfect weather for being outside! They rode her "truck" and played in the garden (Daddy's garden and Pop's garden), played in the wagon, sprayed the water hose and even went on a trip to Lowe's. Here are a few pictures I took of her (from a distance)!!

Allie pointing at the moon, which has been out during the afternoons lately.
Allie blowing me a kiss!!

Gardening with her daddy.

We just bought her a little shovel set yesterday, I'll post those pics when we've used them!

Allie's new ride

Allie's cousin Katie sent over a "truck" as Allie calls it, for Allie to ride. She is loving this thing. It is so cute! She does very well riding it and getting on and off of it. Here are some recent pictures of her day outside.

We have a little piece of cement right off the porch for Adam's grill, and Allie thinks it is her play spot. She gets on it and rolls all around.
