Easter

Allie didn't like the Easter bunny!  Before we went to the mall, Sam said to me, "It's not really the Easter Bunny, it's a person dressed up like a Bunny."  I think we are in trouble.  

One of Allie's favorite past times, blowing raspberries.  It's especially fun when you have a mouth full of food.  
I thought this was a cute picture that captures her little budding personality.  If your wondering why I don't put those head band bows on her any longer, this picture explains that as well.  There are places on her head that hair does not grow because for the first 9 months of her life I wanted those bows on her head.  
Here is our little trouble maker in action.  Raiding a cupboard I accidently left open.  She is already keeping me on my toes.
Sam did a great job in karate today.  He earned his second strip on his white belt.  He is really loving karate.  

Sam half way through Sean's birthday party.  Do you think he's tired? 
I was having a lot of fun dressing Allie up like a princess.  

The last 6 weeks

Sean's 8th birthday party!  Sam loved it.  Can you pick him out?  He's the little guy.  
Mini- Karen (Ashlyn) and Mini- Nikki (Allie) with the big ones. 
Sam and Jackson had a lot of fun at the Children's museum!  

Allie had fun at the Children's museum too.

I don't know why I have gotten so bad about updating my blog.  I am going to try to update it more often.  The last time I posted was middle of February!  Well, we've had some visitors to our house (My Dad and Grandma Jeana) and we went to Phoenix for a week.  We had a great time.  It was great to see family and friends.  Our week in Phoenix ended with Sean's 8th birthday party.  Sam was in 7th Heaven!  

Since we've been home Jason went to Utah to snowboard, and we've just been keeping busy.  Sam is in Karate and loving it.  He also started a Jr. NBA Basketball program, and a soccer/ T-Ball class through the Parks and Rec.  He still loves Preschool.  

Allie is getting into everything and cracking us up.  She loves her brother and wants to do everything he does.  She is standing up and on a couple occasions she has taken a step or two.  We are not in a hurry for her to walk, apparently she is.  

We have been looking for a house.  Hopefully something comes along that is a perfect match for us.  I am going to post more often, and be better about taking pictures!  

Hurricane Duffy

I call their weekend here Hurricane Duffy with all the love in my heart.  We had a great weekend with My mom, Mike, and Uncle Sean.  Sam was in 7th heaven following Sean everywhere and trying to do everything Sean was doing.  We also dressed them the same the whole weekend.  It's so cute to see their relationship change as they get bigger.  Allie was so happy to have so many people around.  Our little party girl did not want to sleep the entire time.  I can't decide if it was because she was so excited, or because she was cutting her front bottom teeth.  I felt them this morning so I believe they are finally through!  It was a quick weekend.  We loved every minute of it, and hope Hurricane Duffy will come back through again soon!  

Allie is getting big!

Allie is standing up all the time now.  She pulls up on everything and anything.  So far we've only had a couple falls, nothing too bad.  She is also getting some teeth.  I think they finally broke through, hopefully that's why she is napping for the first time in 3 days.  (Or maybe she napping because hurricane Duffy left!)  More on that in the next post.  

Superbowl Sunday

Superbowl Sunday was also Jason and I's anniversary.  We had a great time watching the game at our friend's house, until the last few seconds of the game that is.  Here are cute pictures of our Ultimate Cardinal Fans!  Also, little Miss Allie before we left for the game.
