My Little Ninjas

Jason was playing Fruit Ninja the other day and Ally decided that she wanted to play too. I love how excited she gets when she is "playing". It's fun to watch how serious yet crazy Jason is when he is playing. I love these two kiddos.

Random Updating

I am so behind that I decided to just post a few random pictures to help me get caught up on my posts.

This was taken at the Oakland temple. We were there for Jenn and Todd's wedding.

Allison finally crawling with her belly off the ground.

Christmas morning. I forgot to charge the camera so this is the only picture we got of them. :(

Jason's Christmas Program & Party

Jason's preschool put together a cute Christmas program and party for the kids. They sang songs with Santa, they got to sit on Santa's lap and tell him what they want for Christmas, they got a book from some one in the class, they played bingo, and decorated cookies. Jason had so much fun.

Mary's Baby Shower

A few months ago I was able to put together a family and friend baby shower for my sister-in-law Mary. Here are a few pictures to show you how much fun we had.

Mary's cute baby bump.

Here is a picture of the cake that her sister Jenn made for her. Thank you for volunteering Jenn, it's amazing.

The artist at work.

The yummy food.

This is the car seat cover that I made for her. It was super easy and a lot of fun. My SIL Beth was great to let me use her awesome sewing machine.

Mary showing me her baby belly.

I had a lot of fun putting this together for her. She is such a joy to have in my life. She is the best little sister a girl could ask for. I am sad that I haven't been able to meet baby Madison yet but I know I will be her favorite aunt. Thanks Nate for letting her stay with me for a while. Love you guys!

Jason's Thanksgiving Program

Jason's preschool did a cute Thanksgiving program. Too bad I was late because (as my sister says) "they were taking away my  mother of the year award". I got there just in time to take pictures of him in his awesome gear he made. This is Jason and his friend Amy.

So cute! They made really cool shakers and a drum and used them in their program.

Halloween

Kenny's work did their annual Halloween trick-or-treat party. Kenny surprised me with this crazy costume. Jason picked out his own costume. He was so excited about it. He wore it every day for about two weeks.

Allison was a cute butterfly.

Allison turns 1!

Allison,

My dear sweet baby girl, I cannot believe you are 1 already. You are such a blessing in my life. You have a smile that lights up your eyes and shows off your cute bottom front teeth. Your laugh is so adorable. You love your mommy, daddy, and big brother. You're always such a happy baby.

You are very mobile now. You army crawl everywhere you go. We try to get you to crawl with your belly off the floor and you will have nothing to do with it. You can pull yourself up to the couch and can walk around it. You never showed much interest in the stairs and then we caught you half way up them on your first try.

You put your hands in a fist and growl when you want something or when you are upset. You get very excited and squeal when you think Jason is chasing you. You love to snuggle your blankets. You love to take toys and clothes out of the baskets in the house. You also try to put the clothes on your head.

You love food. You want what everyone else is eating. Your favorite food is cheese. This doesn't surprise me seeing as you are related to your mother and father. You will only drink juice or water. You pull the funniest face when we try to give you milk.

You are a beautiful daughter of God, an angel sent to our family.

Happy Birthday. We love you!
