Weekend in Butler

This weekend we went to Butler to celebrate

Mimi's birthday. Allie had a great time with

Papa as always. Macey and Riley also enjoyed the

extra attention. We hope you had a good birthday Mimi!

Allie and Papa were playing with the dog next door.

Allie is laughing uncontrollably and her face is
really red...

still laughing and can hardly stand it....

still laughing....

the reason.... Papa is dancing around like a fool and

he kept pretending to hurt himself. Allie thought

that Papa was the funniest thing ever!

Happy Birthday, Pops!

On Thursday night Gigi and Pops came over

to celebrate Pops' birthday. Once again Allie

is eating cake. She eats cake almost as frequently

as she eats pizza at Chuck E. Cheese. She is one

lucky girl! Allie had a good time helping Pops

open up his gifts. Happy Birthday, Pops!!!!

Sping is here!

It has been so nice lately that we have been

spending a lot of time outside. We got Allie's slide

and basketball goal out for her. She absolutely

loves her slide and she is a natural when it comes to

shooting baskets. She kept moving farther back

to throw the basketball and amazingly enough she

kept making them. Who knew!?!

"SWISH"

And again!

Circus, Circus

Saturday morning Allie and I met Kirk, Tara, &

Izzie at the Shrine Mosque for the circus. The girls

were doing a lot of dancing and clapping. Allie liked her

popcorn so much she wouldn't even let Mommy have

a bite. She would say "No, Mommy my popcorn". Allie

loved the elephants and horses. Her first circus seemed

to have been a good time...... but how can you go wrong with

popcorn, soda, animals, and a light up toy?

Clapping and dancing to the music.

Tara came back with these 2 toys. Whatever one would
do with the toy the other would mimic. They loved the
toys. Thank you T (Allie's name for Tara)!

Sharing a seat to watch the clowns.

Allie had to bring her box of popcorn with her for the

ride home.

Our Sweet Baby Girl

Chuck E. Cheese, Again....

We met Brooke, Nathan, and Owen at Chuck E.

Cheese on Monday night. I am pretty sure that

Allie feels at home there. Brooke even noticed that

Allie knows exactly how to deposit her token into

each ride and game. Everyone seemed to have

a good time. Owen was kind enough to get Allie

a tootsie pop with his hard earned tickets. Now

that is what I call LOVE.

"I love this place!"

Allie even buckled herself in....just in case!

A little love for Barney.

I kept trying to get Owen to look at me and

smile. He did everything he could to keep from

smiling at me.

Allie and Daddy watching the "real" Chuck E. Cheese

sing and dance. She kept clapping and cheering for him.

Splish Splash

Daddy's Boots

Allie found Daddy's boots and thought she

needed to try them on for size. They might

be just a little big!

Aquadoodle Portrait

Allie was drawing a full family portrait on her

Aquadoodle. I asked her what she was drawing

and she said daddy. I then asked what else she was

drawing and she proceeded to tell me "uummmm, Mimi,

Papa, Mommy, Jake, Bek, Macey, Riley".

What a beautiful family picture!

Happy Birthday, Gigi!

On Sunday, Feb. 22 we went to Gigi and Pops house

to celebrate Gigi's birthday. We got to see Chuck

and Kathy, whom Allie has never had a chance to

meet. We had a great dinner and of course ice cream

to follow. Happy Birthday, Gigi!!!!!

Allie thought she needed to help Gigi open her gifts.

Kicked back and relaxed behind to bar.

Hmmm...there seems to be a link between ice cream

and Gigi & Pops house.

Chuck and Kathy brought the girls each an

Abby Caddaby doll. They both loved them. Allie

has taken hers to daycare almost everyday and even

has to sleep with her. She is always getting

the hair out of Abby's eyes for her. Allie

loves her Abby! Thank you so

much Chuck and Kathy!!
