Merry Christmas!

Tripp's Birthday

My nephew decided to come a month early but was

still healthy other than some respiratory problems.

He was in the NICU a few days but recovered well

and is doing great.

My brother has been so sweet & loving with Tripp!

Finally getting to feed him!

And we were at their house when he finally got to come home

and Aleigha has been head over hills in love since.

She loves Tripp like he's her own brother

& she's quite stingy with him too! :)

Disney Live

A few weeks ago we took Aleigha to Disney Live

and she was so excited.

As soon as we go there she had to have Snow White,

her favorite!

And the the fun began. I loved this show & all

the princesses.

Dancing to the music :)

It got a little cold so Daddy was warming her up.

We had such a good time, i hope they come back

next year.



Pumpkins

We didn't carve pumpkins this year instead we just

decorated a few. Aleigha painted some pumpkins

and when she saw this "Woody" pumpkin

push in she had to have it!

And I must say I think it turned out adorable.

I found this cute little cat pumpkin sticker kit

and she had fun decorating her little pumpkin.

I'm sure we'll carve a pumpkin next year, but this

worked for us this year!

Tuesdays

Tuesdays just happen to be Aleighas's

favorite day of the week & the first

Tuesday of the month is my favorite because

the last 15 minutes of class is"watch day"!

She is always so excited but once we get in there

she sticks her fingers in her mouth & acts so shy!

Supposed to be doing a toe touch but she wouldn't

do it. She did warm up a little when it was time

to tap.

Getting some **pretend** pink sparkly nails

to stomp on!

And there she goes stomping those nails!



Here teachers said it's normal that half the class

acts so shy because all the parents are in there

watching and assured us that she dances her heart

out when it's just them in there. And I believe them

because at home she shows us everything she is learning.

All we have to do is turn on some music & she dances away!

These pictures make my heart so happy. I love seeing

my little girl dance!

Trick-or-Treat

We had so much fun trick-or-treating

Halloween night! First we stopped at

my Pops!

I think she liked this stop best because he gave

money instead of candy :)

Then we headed to town to meet some friends and

we trick-or-treated for 2 hours.

Love this of Aleigha & Brooklin holding hands,

sweet friends!

Once we got home she poured it all out & was going

through it all. I couldn't get over her excitement

of all that candy. She was trying to count it & then

she just gave up!

It was such a fun night!



Happy Halloween

A little late but we were super busy yesterday.

Hope everyone had a blast trick-or-treating!

Sassy

Man I love this sassy little lady!

Punkin Paiting

I figured this would be something Aleigha would

absolutely love and I was right.

She had the best time so I promised i would buy

a few more pumpkins to paint over the next few weeks!

She was really concentrating.

Pumpkin Patch 2011

I know I've been missing for awhile

but it has been so hard to find time to blog &

honestly we didnt have much going on in

September. Nursing school keeps me

super busy but I passed my test last week

so I'm moving on to Pediatrics. Now what

we've been up too....

We have been enjoying this nice Fall

weather and last weekend we headed to the

pumpkin patch.

She was more excited about the balloons

& face painting than the pumpkins!

I thought this little growth chart was cute.

You get to see how much you grow each

year at the pumpkin patch.

My Little Punkin :)

We had alot of fun & can't wait to do it

again next year!

Birthday Parties

We've had quite a few birthday parties this summer

and this past weekend was our friends little girl

Harleigh.

They had a water slide and it was a huge hit!

Aleigha loved it!

The sweet birthday girl

Time for cake

 (Aleigha's favorite part of any party)

Sweet Summertime

We have been making the most of our summer

and spending time with friends whenever we

have the chance. We've also been trying to beat

the heat like most of the country. In order

to be outside water almost always has to be involved.

Addi came over one afternoon to play and we

enjoyed her so much. She's such a sweetie

and her & Aleigha play much better than they

did when they were a little smaller.

It rained ONE day for a short time and miss priss

wanted her bathing suit on & her rain boots and boy

did she have a good time!

We went to eat  and out for ice cream one night with

friends and afterwards they came over to play. Nevaeh

and Aleigha played pretty well together for a 3 year age

difference and while they played us adults play

Yahtzee :)

Playing doctor with Daddy!

I hope everyone is having a good week so far.

Aleigha starts dance today so were pretty excited!

Someone Came to Visit

My cousin Victoria came to visit one day last week

and someone was super excited. Our house is about

half way from where she lives & where she is about

to start college so she came to stay the night. Aleigha

absolutely adores her!

One of the first things she wanted to do with

Victoria was play makeup.

It was so cute watching them play!

Getting all dolled up!



So sweet! Come back again soon Victoria!
