Havin' fun on a rainy April day

Since we were stuck inside today we decided to pass the day with a little task and showing off new tricks. Momma of course, had to bust out the camera and catch it all with a few pics. Ali is changing all the time, just amazing to Chris and I. She is working on her 10th tooth, and yes I can attest to that twice this week....she still is occasionally biting :) She is attempting new words to say everyday. Loves the outside....has an absolute fit when it is time to come in. Loves to give kisses and wrestle like a champion :) Enjoy the photos....

Hanging a room darkening shade in my room. We really needed this now that it is staying lighter longer. I'm such a big help to my daddy!








And these are all my new tricks....touching the ceiling with Daddy. I actually ask Mommy many times a day to touch the ceiling, but Mommy is to short, we have to wait on Daddy to come home. And this is my "sad baby face". Daddy helped me perfect it. Too cute!!
















And here I am giving Mommy kisses while playing peek-a-boo in my activity dome. I love to give kisses. I also am really getting good at standing on my head. The world looks so cool from here.

Spring Break Week

So I know that we don't have a true spring break yet in our house but we did have some special visitors and do some extra fun things this week.....so in honor of our local and visiting spring-breakers we decided to join in the fun.
Our week started on Monday with my parents, Danielle, and Gabrielle coming down and we went to a local park. All the girls loved playing. Ali didn't even mind the grass for the first time in her life. Then on Tuesday we headed to the Children's Museum with the hundreds of other spring breakers-ha! The girls had a blast. They loved the slide that had been made in honor of spring break.
Then on Thursday we went and had a playdate with our friend Cara. I work with Cara's Mommy and the girls are about 6 months apart. They did really well together considering. It was fun to check out new toys. We hope to get the girls together more often.

Whew, what a action-packed, fun-filled week. Thanks to everybody who contributed :)
Oh yes, did I mention we had a mean game of Twister going on on Monday night..it was awesome.....

Thank you Peter Cottontail

We wanted to share some of our pics from Easter. We had a great holiday. Saturday morn we headed to Wabash to Meme and Papa's for Easter brunch and an egg hunt. I did awesome with the egg hunt. I scoped out those eggs and put them right in the basket. Peter Cottontail even found me at my Meme and Papa's and delivered a really cool 4-wheeler. Aren't I stylin'. I'm sure to be a big hit in the neighborhood this spring on this bad-boy.
We spent the night at Fifi and Grandpa's and Peter Cottontail found me there again. He brought me the softest little rabbit....we call him Peter. My parents are super original aren't they???
Then on Sunday we went to church with both Meme and Papa and Fifi and Grandpa. I loved all the singing and music. We enjoyed brunch and then it was back home b/c Momma had to work Easter night.

But can you even believe it......Peter Cottontail dropped a few things off at my house. My first set of crayons and a coloring book.

Thank you Peter Cottontail and thank you to our families for celebrating the love of Easter with us. We had a great weekend. Much Love :)

Not photos of baby Bishop, however a change of pace

My sister recently sent us photos of the beginning of the Idiatrod Sled Dog Race in Alaska, I thought I would share for a change of pace.




Look in the distance and you can see the rows of people lining each side of the beginning of the trail....

Daddy fixed some of the photos from the previous post and posted another of his favorite....
