First Trip To The Vet

The still nameless puppy had her first trip to the vet today. Allie was very excited to go with to the "puppy doctor". The puppy was very good and didn't cry at all during the shots. Now on to house training. She is used to going on puppy pads in the house and did so during the night and this morning which was nice, but we want to train her to go outside.

Merry Christmas, Allie!!

Jeremy surprised Allie and I tonight, by bringing home a cute little puppy. She is a Boston Terrier Pugg ("Bugg") and so far is pretty calm. She won't get very big and she shouldn't shed too much. We have not named her yet; hopefully Allie will be able to do that. Allie is very excited. She's already been talking about getting toys for her. She even wanted to give the puppy one of her baby blankets. It's soooo cute!!

TWEITE'S PUMPKIN PATCH

This year we decided to take Allie to Tweite's Pumpkin Patch. Allie was a little shy at first, but then she loosen up and had lots of fun. They had tons of activities for kids. There were slides, tires to climb on, mazes, a puppet show, bikes to ride on, a hay ride, wooden climbers that were shaped like trucks and had slides coming down from them. There was also a concession stand with caramel apples, kettle corn and cotton candy. These are just a few of our pictures. We were there for 3 1/2 hours and we didn't even see everything. Next year we will plan on being there the whole day. I hope you enjoy the pictures!

HALLOWEEN!!

Baby Ty and Allie in their Halloween costumes the last time we were in Fergus.

I found this cute Mr. Potato Head kit to decorate a pumpkin for Allie. She and Daddy had a good time putting it together.

Here Allie is with all of her candy. I had to carry her off and on because her feet hurt, but otherwise she did great.

Larisa came over and handed candy out while Allie and I went Trick-Or-Treating. Jeremy had to work until 8:00. Later that evening we got the privilege of babysitting baby Collin. Allie thought that it was going to be great, but later realized she didn't get all of the attention when there was a baby around. She had quite a few fits that night and went to bed very late. She's been telling us she wants a baby sister, but I don't think that she would like the sharing aspect of it. Overall we had a great night and Allie was happy she got lots of candy.

A New Haircut, Visiting Dora & Pumpkin Carving

We decided it was time to cut Allie's hair. It always looked so messy by the end of the day. Daddy isn't exactly the hair pretty kind of guy, so this is working out much better.

After Allie's haircut, we stood in line for 2 hours waiting to see Dora. Allie was very excited and she got a free kid's ice cream at Cold Stone, so it was worth the wait.

After visiting Dora we went home and ordered pizza. Some of my co-workers were coming over to carve pumpkins, which has become a tradition. This is the third year we have all carved pumpkins together. Melissa brought baby Collin along, so Allie got to hold him.

Today

Jeremy and I took Allie to the park this afternoon. I just thought I would share some pictures.

This Week

We were very busy this week. Allie, my mom and I went shopping on Sunday. We took my mom to the cities on Monday to catch the train back home. John, Jonny, Allie, my mom and I went out to eat at the Olive Garden. We found this little pond with a fountain outside of the restaurant while we were waiting.

Tuesday I had to go back to work. Thursday I had a surprise waiting for me when I got to my car, I had a flat tire. Of course I have never changed a tire, so I made sure that I had a jack and a spare tire and then proceeded to ask some guys across the street to change my tire for me. They were very nice and I was very thankful. Thursday night we had a work picnic and my friend Jen came to town. She used to work with me, but moved back to Oklahoma last year. We stayed up late and woke up early every day this weekend. We went to the cities this weekend to Ikea and did some shopping and this morning we went out for breakfast. Jen headed back to Oklahoma after breakfast today, it was sad to see her go again, but hopefully we will be able to meet in Kansas City again in a few months.

Allie's Birthday Party

This is Allie before everyone got to our house. She was very excited for her party.

Here are a few pictures of her opening presents.

I don't think that we will have to buy clothes for the rest of the year, which is great!!

She was very excited about her princess cake, although I don't think she ate the cake. She was more concerned about the edible flowers and hearts. I think she ate almost all of them.

Auntie Morgan was being very nice. She let Allie dump water on her head. By the way, it was not that nice out. The water was very cold. Poor Auntie Morgan.

Allie had a great time riding with her cousin Abby in her Dora Jeep. She can' t quite steer her Jeep herself, so her rides usually consist of me walking beside her holding onto the steering wheel while she pushes the pedal.

Auntie Jonny drawing a castle, princess and horse for Allie with chalk on the sidewalk. Jonny is a great artist and none of the rest of us wanted to draw next to her.

Thanks for coming, Allie had a wonderful Birthday!!
