Getting Her Started Early....

My big little helper. She took Kramer's spot in the laundry basket. She loves to hang out with her momma and the boys. I include her in pretty much everythign I do. Well there are some things she doesn't do but for the most part she is right by my side supervising.

Our Day of Fun...

Today Cody, Ally and I went to the Gallivan Center for the day. They were having "Rockin' Ribs", where you get to try all kinds of BBQ from different restaurants here in Salt Lake. We had ribs, pulled pork, beans, Cole slaw and other delicious BBQ treats. We had so much fun, it was like we were on one of those food network challenges. We spent the whole day there eating and enjoying the wonderful weather. When we got home all three of us jumped in the pool for a little while and needless to say we are officially pooped. But we sure did have a great day. This was Ally's first time on a "train"/Trax. It was nice to be able to utilize that. She fell asleep in the way there as you can see.

Ally's First Official Word.....

For a couple of weeks now, Ally has been saying "ma, ma" I didn't want to believe it because she is so vocal. Cody has been convinced that she is and has been saying "ma, ma". She talks gibberish all day long so it took me a little longer to be convinced. Here is a video that Cody took the other day when he came home for lunch. ENJOY!!!!!

California Vacation....The Family

Curly Sue's Got Nothin' on us. Well except for Sierra (in this picture). She was going to her soccer practice so we'll let it slide.

Mo.... Guarding her favorite toy (the hamburger). She is such a great bull dog. So well behaved. We fell in love with her. Big suprise.

We went to Oceanside for the day and had a blast. Cody did some body surfing and took Ally in the water and she loved it. Then we all went to a great seafood place.

Momma and Ally

THE LIFE GUARD!!!!!!!! WTF???!!! LOL!!! I love this picture of my brother.

"Hummm... who can I get to push me around the pool....?????

Our big girl.... She is a fish in the water.

Hangin' out in the pool.....

Ally and Uncle Alex. She fell in love, well I think they both did. I love this picture of them.

Liem holding Ally's Hand. She isn't sure what to do now.... Crap..

Ally and Liem. The look on her face is priceless. She is hangin' on for dear life.

Tyler, Ally and Sierra

Here are some cute pictures of the kids. Liem is the smallest and then there is Tyler and Sierra, and Dannica (My brother's girlfriend). We had so much fun with them. By the end of the trip they were trying to talk Cody and I into moving down there with them. I am going to say we are the favorite Aunt and Uncle. LOL.

California Vacation..........

This past week we were able to take a family vacation to California to see my brother Alex and his family and of course their new little edition, Liem who is 2 months older then Ally. We had a blast with my brother and his girlfriend and the kids. We got the royal treatment. I am thinking we should take more vacations. Humm...

Ally Eating and Swimming....

Our baby girl is getting so big. She is a little over 5 months old now and is so curious about everything. I gave her a gram cracker to see if she would like it. Well, as you can see, she does. She is so damn cute, I cannot get enough of her. We have been trying to swim everyday, when the weather permits. She absolutely loves it. Sometimes before daddy gets home from work we will spend time in the pool learning to kick and splash. We have a blast together. She does love to get in the pool with daddy though. We are so lucky to have her in our lives. She is absolutely amazing and we cannot get enough of her. Ally is such a quick learner and pretty coordinated if I do say so myself. I am so impressed with the things she does. She definitely keeps me busy and oh so entertained.

Big Girl.......................

Ally is growing up so fast. This week she started eating cold cantaloupe and cucumbers, along with her other food. She loved both of them. The last picture is of Ally helping momma in the kitchen. She loves to be wherever I am. She loves to just watch what Cody and I do. I cannot wait to teach her how to cook. At the same time I just want her to stay a little baby. She is the best helper.
