Big Girl Bed and Birthday Celebration

On Saturday we converted Allison's bed to the toddler bed. She is so proud to be in a big girl bed and has done really well in it. She doesn't even get out of bed in the morning. We still here "Mommy" and "Daddy" very early in the morning.





On Sunday we had a get together at our house to celebrate Alli's Birthday. The kids played in the water and had a great time. Alli was hilarious when she opened her presents. With each present she had to walk around and show everybody what she got, even the cards. Needless to say it took awhile to get through her presents, but she loved every minute of it.

When it was time for cake Allison just could not wait. She stuck her hands in the middle and pulled off some frosting before we even got the candles lit. What a crazy kid.

My sweet baby turned two!

I can't believe that Allison is already two years old. Time has flown by! Alli is such a sweet little girl. She loves to cuddle and is also a tease. She follows Paige everywhere and wants to do whatever she is doing. Here are a few things about Alli now......

-She now will tell you her name, but it comes out more like owie
-She will tell you that she is two years old
-She loves the animals at Wheeler Farm, but says eewww about all of them
-Her favorite movies right now are Cheaper by the Dozen, The Incredibles, and Lilo and Stitch
-She still loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
-She loves playing with her dolls and taking care of them
-She says no, no, Abby to the dog all the time
-She loves her best buddy Katie
-She is a daddy's girl all the way!
-She loves to dance and sings in the car

On Sunday we are having a BBQ at our house to celebrate her birthday and I will post some pics of that. Yesterday we went swimming. She loves the water! (or wa wa as she calls it)

Vegas!

Mike was so sweet when he surprised me with a trip to Vegas for our Anniversary. Apparently I am totally clueless! He had all the details worked out, even my time off work. It was so nice to just spend the time with him, but we missed the kids a ton. We relaxed by the pool and saw the Zumanity show at New York, New York. We also went to the aquarium at Mandalay Bay. They offer a scuba experience similar to what we did in Orlando, but they charge an outrageous amount. If we both went on the dive it would be a bargain price of $1000.00. Are you kidding me! A thousand dollars for a 45 minute dive! Anyways, we had fun just looking at the fish through the other side of the glass. Even the flight was relaxing, I hadn't flown without the kids for a long time.

I don't know how I can ever compete with his gifts! I guess I need to get more creative!

Love you honey!
