'Sabrina the Ballerina'

oh wait, that is Alison...but a definite little ballerina for dance class today..
oh what a sweetie, but I do need help with the bun...anybody want to offer advice?!

when did she get this big??! Can somebody please tell me? and just go ahead and reverse it in the process okay?!

please note the earrings...she would be so proud if you noticed...(yes, they are only Hello Kitty stick-ons)

A Rebuilding Season

Yes folks, that is definitely going to be the theme for BSU football this year and hopefully not next too :) But we are still having a ball tailgating! We enjoyed Sat. nights game with Chris' cousin Jean and our friend Travis plus ol' Meme and Papa too! Alison does really well. We have to check out the cheerleaders multiple times and watch the band. We got our official cheerleading outfit this past weekend so pics of that to come soon.

Cheering on those Cards

A little tailgate frisbee action going on

The tailgate gang, what a fun time!

Yay-Rah!
and when the tailgate gets a little long for the 2 year old (and Meme too) we just break out Dora for a little bit :) and everybody's happy!!!

Happy Belated Birthday to You!

Yes, I'm super behind on my posting which means I'm just now getting to Chris' birthday post...bad blogger alert!!!! Oh well :)
We had a great time celebrating Chris' birthday. It was a gorgeous day. Ali and I baked a cake after her nap (Chris' favorite..white cake with chocolate icing) then we met Chris at The Cheesecake Factory for dinner..YUMMO! We came home and Alison unwrapped his gifts for him. Gone are the days of unwrapping our own presents, aaahhh, the blissfulness of parenthood. Then we got to sing and eat cake!
I hope you had a wonderful day honey. I love you very much and I'm so thankful for August 25th, without this day there wouldn't be you. Without you, I wouldn't be complete! You are the perfect husband--loving, kind, funny, sweet, and sensitive and the perfect daddy-playful, tender, and honest! Alison and I love you sooo much and had fun celebrating you!!! XOXO

Unwrapping gifts "together"

These two are sooo silly, aka "silly face"

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Chris, Happy Birthday to you!!
