AlLy'S FiRsT.....

DaNcE ReCiTaL!!

She was so excited. I was not sure how she would do because she can be pretty shy but she did AWESOME and she loved it!! I was so proud of her!
I think that she was more excited that it was over so that she could wear her costume to play in. The next morning we went to get them up and she was already in her costume and has worn it pretty much every day since then.

The first pictures were from when we were getting ready for her dance pictures. We had rollers in her hair and of course Gracie had to have some in too.

Gracie was in a good picture taking mood and was loving her curly ponies that day so I finally got some cute ones of her.

Ally was so excited so she was pulling some weird faces but I guess that she still looked like a princess in her costume.

(sorry, I could not get this picture to turn the right way)

The night of her dress rehearsal my sister-in-law Heather took some more pictures.
I love those blue eyes.

Of course I had to add some of Lily in too.

My sister-in-law Gretchen came and visited for a few days. This is the first time she had met Lily, and she kinda liked her, I think!

LiLy --- 9 MoNtHs

My sister-in-law, Heather, took Lily's 9 month pictures. She did a great job!
Sorry there is a picture overload but it was really hard to narrow it down!

She crawls like a gorilla when she does not have pants on, it is pretty funny and she is really fast at it.

This is what she does when she is being shy, she is a nut!

I love those chubby little legs!

She hates the grass so she was not happy when I set her on it and was trying everything to get off of it, it also didn't help that the tutu was just as bad as the grass.

Then she was pulling some rotten faces for us.

LaTeLy....

I am a little late on all these but someone (my mother) has been dying for pictures! So here they are.
This is Lily's favorite place to play, her carseat. If we leave it on the floor she crawls to it and climbs it and usually dumps herself out. You would think that it would annoy her that she keeps falling but she just keeps doing it. This day she found that her binki was still on the binki clip attached to her seat belt and she wanted it. I was dying because she would get it in her mouth and then go to crawl away and it would come back out! She did that over and over and me being the nice mom I am grabbed the camera instead of helping her.....it was just too funny!

These are the girls Easter dresses that Jordan's mom bought for them. They looked adorable. Thanks Sheryl!


This is such a typical face for Gracie!


Lily was is a very good mood for pictures, that was so nice.



I actually got one of all three of them looking the same way and smiling....YAY!!!

Jordan's mom bought these cute cupcake baskets for the girls to make. They were so cute and they loved to put the jelly beans on the top.

Saturday night we decorated our eggs. Ally and Gracie thought that it was SO fun and that we needed more eggs.




Our finished eggs.

Easter morning the girls were so excited to see what the easter bunny brought and to find all the eggs that were hidden.



It did not take very long for them to find all the eggs.

Lily thought that she was so naughty because she was able to get Ally and Gracie's baskets while they were looking for eggs.

The easter bunny brought them golf clubs and they were excited!!!



That shot looks a little scary!


Of course Dad had to help them.

Ally golfed all day long and has everyday since then. Every time Jordan goes outside to golf you know that it will not be long before Ally is headed outside with her clubs.

That afternoon we went to my Grandma Draper's to have an easter egg hunt with Tanielle's kids.


Jaidee was so cute and would run and get eggs and put them in Gracie's bag so that she would have lots.
I had to put a cute picture of Lily at the egg hunt. She was just happy to hang out with Dad.


The loot.
