Allison's Dance Classes















Kyle and I enrolled Allison in a creative dance class. It meets once a week on Mondays at 11:15 to 12:00. So far she has gone 3 times and she's loving it! She's doing this class with her best friend Priarie.

Fishing ANYONE?










Kyle's been going out fishing A LOT lately! Here are some pictures...

Smoker...




Kyle loves to BBQ!!!! He has recently been looking into smoking foods so after some research we went out and purchased a smoker. After a few hours putting together his new BBQ (yes he also bought a new BBQ) and new smoker we were in business! He's smoked brisket, ribs and some other meats and vegetables. Here's some pictures of his work... it sure is yummy!!!!

Little Buddies







our newest little buddy Zack. He's Kyle's cousin's little boy. I watch him M-F 9-5pm. He's the cutest little boy! He's tons of fun! He is constantly laughing and ALWAYS smiling! He loves to play with toys and loves his back. He loves his boppy. Abbigail is one week younger than Zack and it's tons of fun to see how simialar and how different they really are. Abbigail loves her tummy and loves toys and loves her boppy as well. She LOVES her thumb and Zack loves his pacifier. It's just tons of fun watching these two interact with each other.

Our cute little fairy...




The other day while at Costco they had their Halloween costumes out and I wanted to see what they had to offer.. Well Allison found this fairy costume that she liked so Kyle and I came up with the idea that we would buy it and she would have to earn it... The way she would earn the costume would be she would have to have no accidents and have to go on the toilet ALL day well she did it and here she is...

It's all fun and games





It's all fun and games until someone get's hurt... Well a few weeks back Kyle and Allison were playing before church while I was getting Abbigail dressed. They were having tons of fun. Allison was laughing like crazy until all of a sudden I hear this BONK and Allison scream... They were playing the whole you can't catch me game and it was Kyle's turn to get Allison and she ran straight into a door jam... Got a HUGE Goose egg on her forehead. Poor girl! She's doing a ton better and the goose egg is now gone!

Abbigail had a doctors appointment yesterday and here's her stats:

4 month appointment

I'm a big girl now!!!

So we have been trying to potty train Allison for the past year it feels like.. We have tried putting her on those dumb little baby toilets. We have tried the whole go on the toilet and you get a treat... I know that she knows that she's not suppose to go in her diaper but she's just one that never wants to stop to even try...Well she's been wearing pull-ups the past year and I have finally decided that it's time to move her to big girl underwear. I went out yesterday and bought her two packs of big girl underwears. One pack Dora the Explorer undies and the other Disney Princess. I also bought those plastic underwears that you put over the cloth diapers just in case. Well we started last night around 4 o'clock and she ended up having an accident an hour or so later but tried again and didnt have any problems the rest of the evening. At night we put her back in the pull-ups. Then this morning we put her big girl underwears back on and she didnt have any accidents up until 6 o'clock when she was up playing and I think she was just so into playing that she didnt think to stop but as soon as she did it she came down for me to change her so I think we are on the right track...
