We had such a blast last night at Uncle Mark and Michelle's wedding! The girls and their cousins wouldn't leave the dance floor! What a great time!! The girls are also big into playing dress-up together. Allie loves to have her picture taken in all of her fun clothes! Allie update: she's been dry four nights in a row! She's been potty trained since October (20 months) however the overnight thing was a little harder for her as she refused to give up drinking at night! Nothing like an M&M brib to change her mind!!

Before and After

We've been working really hard since winter to get the basement livable/kidable. Here is the before, taken last night while we tried to clean up...
And the After!!!

The girls were so excited!!!
So soft!!! We love it!!!

Our New Addition!!

It was bound to happen sooner or later...we broke down and got a minivan
We're pretty happy with our little purchase...although it was sad to see the Camry gone!
Having fun in the sandbox!
Trying so hard to get her shoes on for church!
In the giraffe exhibit at the zoo...Allie's favorite!

Stroller Patrol! We had playgroup at the zoo today!
Allie in the Butterfly garden...didn't succeed in getting a nice smile out of her
Aubrey just loves to play...especially when Allie isn't taking toys away from her!
Kiss me!
Aubrey learned the sign for Bible yesterday and loves to show you what she knows

Aubrey's Walking and fun at Betty Brinn

What a bunch of clowns!! Aubrey flies round and round on the zebra while Allie (with her "helmet") chases her round and round. Aubrey fell of the zebra and tipped over she got so dizzy! Couldn't stop the laughter however!

15 months, 1 week, 6 days....finally, she's walking!!!!!


It blew our minds how quickly she figured it out today...she got right to bending over and carrying things within about 3 hours.

Allie's working the phone in the fix-it shop at Betty Brinn Children's museum
Aubrey's driving away! I had to physically remove her from this car...she just loved playing with it!
Am I cute??
Having fun with Uncle Nate on the slide.
Allie and Maddie...they could pass for sisters couldn't they!?

What a great time these last two days! We're still amazed with Aubrey....she just took off yesterday while we were at Sieverts for a party! I'm glad I brought the camera along to catch her first steps! We took the kids to Betty Brinn Children's Museum today...and of course all the kids had a blast! It's so fun to watch the cousins hanging out together! We'll miss you Pearsons when you head off to Texas!!!
