Allie's Baptism Birthday

Another year of being baptized...and another year we celebrate.  This little girl is well on her way to being our shining star.  God is proud...as are we.  Allie is loyal, caring, considerate and determined.  All things we want for our children. 

 

Allie just LOVES this day.  A special day to blow out her candle and celebrate with our family of 4.  The gift doesn't hurt either. 

 

 

 

Allie was thrilled to have her new doll bike seat!  Luckily we managed to get it attached...it wasn't cooperating very well.  Now Allie can take her doll on all our family bike rides...HOW COOL!

 

Mother's Day Morning

 

Couldn't of asked for a better Mother's Day...

 

Quick stop at DD for doughnuts and coffee.  Yum-O!

 

 

Then off to Lowe's to buy lots and lots of flower for the garden.  My mother's day tradition is to plant flowers...just like my mom did.  Except I make my two help me.  Allie liked planting in our new pots and Ayden was THRILLED to push dirt around and dig holes for me.

 

 

 

 

 

I loved my special handmade gifts too.  Allie made a super cool necklace with her photo in (that I wore all day) and a nice writing that she was pretty accurate on, as well.  Ayden a painted flower pot with flowers he picked out himself.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!  I love them...and you two!



Cookie Celebration

The day has finally come!  All of Allie's hard work selling cookies this season to meet her 600 box goal was celebrated tonight with her friend, Briella.  These two concocted a plan to sell enough boxes of cookies to get them to a COOKIE CELEBRATION.  Tonight, Allie and Briella were recognized for their hard work, dedication, and the many skills they learned that came along with selling some Girl Scout cookies.

 

 

Allie sold cookies with her friends and by herself.  She sold at the mall, at Kroger and in the freezing cold rain and snow.  She communicated with customers, managed money, acted respectfully (mostly) and responsibly.  She made a goal and met it!  I'm so proud of her.  This cookie team rocked it!

 

 

 

 

Pasta, salad and chicken for dinner...ice cream sundaes for dessert.  Allie's favorite was the Shirley Temple. 

 

Allie was awarded with a Top Seller Trophy and a special keepsake coin.  Check out those smiles.  Allie has already made her goal for next year...1,000!

Back Walkover

She GOT IT!!!  She FINALLY got it!!  Allie got her back walkover after months, and months, and MONTHS of working so hard at it!  We couldn't be more proud of her.  She was thrilled to write her name on the wall!   Way to go, Allie girl!

 

Allie Got Her BACKWALKOVER!

OMG!!!  She FINALLY did it!!  Her New Year's wish came true this year...all because of hard work and dedication...and few bumps and bruised to the head.  Allie got her BACK WALKOVER!

Happy Birthday to ME!

Happy Birthday to me...Fiesta style! 

Art & Science Fair

So proud of Allie and her group...what an amazing science fair presentation about LIGHTENING STORMS!  I learned so much about how to stay safe.  Allie did a wonderful job remembering her lines...along with everyone else's too.  Way to go Daniel, Seayena, Allie and Peyton!

 

 

 

Allie made a shadowbox about staying safe in a lightening storm.  She presented her masterpiece to her class earlier this week.  Allie made a tree and a pond (don't go near tall trees and water) and a house where her and her brother stayed safe inside during the lightening storm.  How cool are those "raindrops" coming down?!?

 

 

And finally we saw Allie's artwork...how beautiful!
