Happy Birthday Allie!

We decided to celebrate our Allie's birthday just a week early this year. Her Uncle Clay and Aunt Kayde were in town, and Uncle Clint and Aunt Eunhee were leaving for Korea on Sunday. SO Much FUN! Here are few pictures of the event and a little video clip.

Merry Christmas!!

I had a few of you asking if we were still posting to the blog...Yes! I feel like the past 2 months have been totally crazy. Here are some fun ones of us in Utah with Blaine's family and back home in Bakersfield. There's quite a few...so sit back and enjoy!

The next 3 are of our cookie monster. We sat Allie down on the fireplace to take her picture with the cookies we left for Santa... and well you can see.



Our nerdy Allie!

Fun ones...

Here are just a couple of shots of Allie. She is trying to bring those top two teeth down with little success. However, we all end up paying for it. But her crankiness does come and go. Allie loves her tylenol (left hand) and teething tablets (right hand). The others are of our sweet Allie. We spend all this money on nice church clothes and we never get her in a picture. Mostly because by the time we're home from church, she out cold. So, we're trying to get ready a little sooner on Sundays to have some time to snap a shot. What a cutie!

10 months old!

Allie is having so much fun walking! Because of her mobility, she can get into everything. Here favorite thing to do is to carry small items in her hands while walking. On any given day, you can usually see a bruise/scrape or two on her cute little face. My favorite all time Allie moment is captured with the last picture. Allie falling into her toy trunk to reach the toys on the bottom. She doesn't fall all the way in. She gets high-centered and kicks her legs. Blaine and I laugh for a few seconds...then we help her. Poor girl!

Happy Halloween!

It's been a fun Halloween week for us! We celebrated with the Watson Family on Monday night. Lots of food, games, and treats! On Halloween, we partied with the Hannas. We love frogs and ladybugs!

Say Cheese!

Here are Allie's latest photos! We had them done for her 9 months. If you know me and Allie, I am always trying to get her to leave her bows in her hair. This is her looking at me with those eyes saying "Are you watching mom? I'm taking it out!". So we just loved this first picture. Totally Allie!

Family Fun Time!

First, it was my birthday! Allie was very interested in the presents and the flame on the candle. She wanted to touch everything!


Then, at the end of September, we took part in the annual Watson Family Vacation. We spent one day at the LA Zoo and then took the ferry out to Catalina Island the next day. It was a lot of fun! This was Allie's first true vacation with the family. She was a good little girl for not being able to get down and walk/crawl much. She was a trooper.










Finally, we helped celebrate our friends' birthdays. Happy 1st Birthday Noah and Jonah!
