Ally is wonderful, and I love her so much, but sometimes I go a little crazy. You can't leave her alone for two seconds, and when she's quiet you know she is up to something!! Here are the latest pictures from her free time.

I was trying to unload the dishwasher while ally was playing so good and quietly, I looked over to find her writing all over the side of the desk Aaron made me. I got a lot of it off with a magic eraser but it took off a little bit of the stain.



If there is any bare skin, she has to decorate it. She was sitting quietly by us while we were watching a show, I looked over at Aaron and asked, "what is she doing?" He found her writing up and down her legs with a pen. She is always into or doing something, she is soooo busy!!! She keeps our life interesting, that is for sure!!!

Fun in the Snow & Chocolate Chip Cookies

We went to visit Aaron's sister over Valentines weekend. We had so much fun! It is good to see them! It was really snowy down there, and we went out in it! Ally played with grandma and grandpa, they made a snowman!
Breann, Blake, Aaron and I went up into the mountains. We went sledding, it was so much fun! I hadn't been sledding in forever, hiking up the mountain was a little strenuous, but it was great! Here is a picture of us in our snow gear!
I found a recipe on line yesterday for chocolate chip cookies, they were wonderful!!! I thought I would share the recipe.

My Birthday Surprise

My amazing friends surprised me and took me out for my birthday! We went to Cafe Sabor, one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Logan. We went through three baskets of chips and salsa, they were sooo good!
Of course they told the waitress it was my birthday, and I got the sombrero, singing, clapping and all!

They did fortunately bring us some awesome fried ice cream, the picture doesn't do it justice either!
Here are some more pics with the sombrero, Becca, and then me, and I am supposed to have one of Kristen too, but she deleted it!



I had such a great time, Thank You guys, you're the best!

Ally's new thing is to go and play in the bathtub. She drags everything in there. I found her in there this morning reading a book. She is so funny!


My Dad took these pictures of Ally when we were in Missouri. I thought they were so cute!

I was called on the fact that I haven't updated my blog in a long time. I have been kind of lazy, and have been really bad at taking pictures! We had a great holiday, even though it has been over for a while now. We went to Las Vegas for Christmas to visit my grandparents, and then the next week Ally and I went to Missouri to visit my Dad. Ally did really well with all of the traveling, even on the airplane. It was so good to see all of my family, it is hard being so far away from them, we miss them so much! We are lucky to at least have Aaron's family close by, we are so greatful for them. I did take a couple of pictures of Ally in the snow, and helping her daddy put together his router table, she is a daddy's girl!

Family pics & more

We got our family pictures taken over thanksgiving. Here are a couple of them. I think they that they turned out okay, of course she wouldn't smile, but as long as she wasn't screaming I was fine with that!


Aaron's family came to stay with us for a night, it was so good to see them! Ally had a really good time with them and their kids. She loved Jaiden their little boy, she wanted to do whatever he was doing. He was watching cartoons and Ally wanted to sit on his lap, that didn't quite go over well with him, so I set her next to him, she was so happy and got the biggest smile on her face, she had so much fun, we are so happy that they came to visit!




I was trying to do the dishes while ally was playing, she came over by the dishwasher and started saying mmmm... mmmm..., I looked down to see her dipping her finger into some old ranch dressing on a plate in the dishwasher, gross huh!! I decided not to get mad and to take a picture instead.
