Random and Allie's 2nd Birthday




My beautiful little girls in their Easter dresses.  I'm pretty sure I have more pics of Easter somewhere, but these are the few that I've found


Allie after church looking for ants...she loves looking for bugs but then says "ew, yucky!"  and squashes them:o)


My cute little Brooklee


 Brooklee loves to take pictures!  Her aunt Julie showed her how to hold the camera to take pics of herself. Auntie Julie is really good at that:o)


Brooklee and Allie getting ready to get into the pool.  They are in the pool pretty much every day

 Allie's 2nd Birthday!  It was weirdly cold that night and no one came prepared.  I had just boxed up all our winter clothes and had to find them all again!  It was fun though :o)




I made a little personal cake for Allie.  She took a few bites and then was done with it.









Nana and Kasi got Allie a Tangled card and a Mermaid card.  They both play songs and she LOVED them.    They had to have been the top "presents" :o)





Daddy wearing glow in the dark earrings :o)


Papa at Allie's party...I think he had a lot of fun :o)

I am not very good at updating the girls' physical and developmental progress, so I guess I will record some info on Allie, since she just had her second birthday.  Her favorite movie right now is "Free Willy" :o)  and while she was watching it the other day, she told Sam "I love Willy cuz he's my cousin!"  She loves going to nursery and all during sacrament she asks "go to nursery now and play with all my friends?"  Everyone is her friend and cousin:o)  For Primary, we are having the kids memorize their articles of faith.  I started helping Brooklee memorize the first article of faith.  Little did I know that Allie had actually memorized it too!  She totally surprised me one day (a few weeks ago) and said "I do it by myself!" and proceeded to say the whole thing by herself!  It is pretty much the cutest thing ever!  She is so proud of herself.  I have it on video, so I will have to figure out how to post videos on here too.  

San Diego - March 2012

 I'm actually posting to our family blog!  Crazy, I know!  From here on out my posts will be totally random, and definitely not in order of date.  I'm just going to post as soon as I find things that I've missed (which is a heck of a lot!)  Anyway, for spring break in March we went to San Diego with Sam's parents and sister Kasi.  We stayed in the cutest little rental home on Mission Beach and had a lot of fun.  I didn't get too many pictures.  I'm not the best at taking pictures while on vacation, I guess because I'm too distracted by everything else:)  Here are a few:



Here are Papa and Allie at the Mormon Battalion lookout point in Old Town.

Brooklee and Allie loved Sea World.  Here they are with an otter?

Allie and Daddy waiting for the ride to start...Allie loved it :o)






Brooklee and Allie with Elmo and Cookie Monster.  It looks like Allie was crying, but she actually really liked them

Brooklee and Allie on the Seal tour.  It is the bus that starts on land and then goes in the water.  The girls loved seeing the seals out on the bay
