Its Winter

halloween

This is Alison......

Sorry it is sideways...

Alison went up to Grampy the other day and told him that she could count....she asked if he wanted to watch. HE of course said yes and she counted...1..2..3..4..5. Then he asked if she could count higher, and she did. It was one of the funniest things I have seen her do.

just like daddy

On Sunday we went up the mountain to get some fire wood for the shed at the Daycare. It was a great way to spend the afternoon as a family. We went exploring the area. Alison found a big white rock that she ended up forgetting, but don't tell her, she has not mentioned it yet....(fingers crossed), Then after daddy cut the wood into logs, Alison and I were in charge of stacking it in the truck. All said and done, Alison wanted to be just like Ben at the end that they both took off their sweaty shirts and had a drink.

Emma is 3 months old!!!

Sorry for the lapse in time

Here are a few pictures from our trip to California in June. We went to the zoo with Uncle Kiffiler (Christopher) and had a great time. Everyone is doing well and is happy. We spent the rest of the month with mom up here and we look forward to Uncle Kiffiler and Allison coming for a visit later this week.

Ready for the big day of zooing

Alison wanted to take pictures in her pretty butterfly dress one morning.

This one just made me laugh, she is just like her father in more ways.

Being snuggly and cute in her swing. She likes to swing and look out the window.

Lovin her daddy.

At the Children's museum on Wednesday. She had a great time. Then we move onto Emma's first bath. She hated it. Alison told me to stop because I was hurting Emma. I was laughing telling her that Emma was fine. Then when she was wrapped in the towel she was better and then daddy snuggled her on the couch and Alison gave her baby to Emma to make her feel better. It was a sweet gesture.

HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY ALISON RAY!!!Here was Alison's pink butterfly cake made by our friend Aunt Jenni.

Patiently waiting for the song to end and then the blowing can happen

Super Cheese....Very happy with herself, blew out the candles and now waiting for cake.

Once again snuggling "mybaby." She loves her sister. Wants to hold her about every hour.

Tuckered out after a day of sleeping through the birthday party.

quick picture from my cell phone. Loving sisters. Everyone is doing great.

WELCOME HOME EMMA LILY!!!! We are headed home today. Its a great day for us. I will post pictures soon.

"OHH, she is so cute," says Alison. We had our family night. Alison loves her baby sister. All she wanted to do is kiss her and hold her. It was wonderful. So far so good on the oxygen, and if all stays this way, we go home tomorrow.
