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!!
