Nicholas Birthday

Nicholas birthday party was on saturday. The rain kind of ruined the swimming but it was still a cool party. Karen got this pinata that you pulled the strings and you never knew which string would release all the candy. Nicholas was getting sad because none of the strings were working. You can see in one of the pictures that he is getting ready to cry. Eventually all the candy came out and alley was on it man! She had like a 5lb bag of candy when she was done picking it up. My girl didn't waste any time! And I just threw that picture of luv in there because I know she will kill me!!!!!!!!!

Super Chevy

Last weekend Chris and I went away for the weekend to a Super Chevy Magazine Car Show. Alley stayed home with her Mimi and Pappy but I just wanted to share our good news from the show. Chris won Top 20 Editors Choice and he is probably going to be in the magazine at some point and he also won 2nd in his class. It was all very exciting. If you go to http://www.superchevyshow.com/ and go down to event photos on the left hand side there is a tab for 2009 photos and its under Maple Grove Raceway - Car show Photos. It will do a slide show thru all of the winners but you will see a couple of chris and then there is a picture of the 2 of us with his truck. Its pretty cool!

Dressing Herself

Alley likes to dress herself now. I think it is hilarious. She comes up with the funniest outfits! When she picked this one out she wanted to put on the skirt by herself. You can't tell from the picture but it was inside out, backwards and she had both legs thru one of the pant holes underneath!

Relaxing

Here are just some cute pictures of alley taking it easy or "belaxing" as she calls it. She is too cute!

Pool at Home

We got alley her very own pool for the house and she loves it! Whats funny is Haley loves it too so they play in it together.

4th of July

Jason had his annual 4th of July picnic. We swam and uncle tony got fireworks and sparklers for the kids. It was a really nice day. As you can see, Lily enjoyed herslef too, except for the part where she thought she could jump in Jasons pool and she sank to the bottom!

Alley Sleeping

Alley made a little bed for herself on the floor and she was pretending to be asleep. She was snoring and everything, although as you can see she forgot to close her eyes!! LOL

Laurens Graduation

Here are some pictures from Laurens graduation. Mindi had a picnic after the actual graduation and it was really nice. We played with side walk chalk, alley drew a smiley face, and we played with water guns...that was really fun! We did have an uninvited guest (a snake!!!) but other than that it was a blast.
