Addison's 3rd Birthday

Since we missed Addison's birthday party we

went to Incredible Pizza to celebrate with her

on her actual birthday. Allie was just a little

too short to ride the go-carts, but she got to watch

Addison and Travis go around the track. Afterwards

we went to Gigi and Papa's house for cupcakes

and presents.

Kicked Back

Allie likes to play games on my phone, so she

was kicked back on the bed playing memory on

the phone.

The Greatest Show on Earth

On Sunday afternoon Allie, Mimi, and I went

to the Sprint Center in Kansas City to see the

Ringling Brothers Circus. It was the first big circus

for Allie and Mimi. We had a really good time and Allie

enjoyed the popcorn and sno-cone just as much as the circus itself.

Playing Dress Up

Yesterday when I came home from work I was

greeted by a little girl wearing red lipstick, large jeweled

earrings, and a pearl necklace. It was quite the

sight. Allie had been playing with some old

jewelry that Gigi had saved. She also found

a plastic pair of glasses that belong to a doll

and a tiara that we believe belonged to Aunt Tina.

Silly Faces

After gymnastics we convinced Allie and Izzie

to go somewhere other than Wendy's. We ended up

at McAlister's which was a nice change. Allie has a

silly face that she occassionally makes where she

tenses up her arms and face and shakes. She proceeded

to do this and as with all little kids it is a monkey-see-monkey-do

thing. Izzie decides to participate and it led to a lot of

laughing. We were laughing so hard that Tara had tears

in her eyes. Of course with us laughing the girls would

make the silly faces even more. It was a very entertaining

dinner, to say the least.

Doing Dishes

Go Pack Go!!!!

Allie and Gigi are getting ready for the first

Packer game of the season (along Macey

and Riley).

Take My Picture

Allie has actually been wanting her picture

taken lately. After I take a picture she wants

to look at it on the camera, which leads to her

making silly faces. Its fine with me because

she is not running from the camera for once.

Cheers!

Shane's Birthday

For some reason all of the pictures from

Shane's birthday seem to consist of Allie and

Addison. I did manage to get one of Shane...with

the girls of course.

And cake for dessert!

Swimming At The Lake

This past time that we went to the lake

Allie did such a good job of swimming.

She would float on her belly and kick her

feet and swim between Shane and I. I

was so proud of her. She definitely will

be taking swimming lessons before next

summer. Then she will be swimming all

over the place.

A Visit With Family

A couple of weeks ago we went to visit my

Aunt Sharlyn for the day. Allie got to meet her

great aunt for the very first time. We were able

to see Dad and Mason and his family as well. I think

Aunt Sharlyn was happy to finally meet the kids.

Allie and Chance
