This last month has flown by!  She is just about ready to roll over and has two teeth budding on the bottom!  What a big girl.  :)  These past 5 months have been the best of our lifes!

Yesterday we celebrated our 6 year wedding anniversary.  We started off by dropping Allie off at my parents.  Then we headed downtown for dinner and a movie.  While we were looking for our restaurant we just happen to park across from the Portland Art Museum where we were married.  The doors to the ballroom were open so we peaked inside.  It was too dark to see anything but so fun to see the building on our special day.  Then as we walked to the theater we passed the hotel we stayed at.  Fun night walking down memory lane and we didn't even do it on purpose!  

Happy Anniversary Babe!  I love you and have had the best 6 years of my life being your wife.  Your an amazing husband and amazing father.  I love what our little family has become.  and thanks for the best gift that you gave me back on October 31st.  :)

My grandpa Gene is in heaven today.  He lived a great 85 years with 6 children, 12 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.  Bye grandpa.  We love you.

Beth thank you for all the years of love and devotion. I can't imagine the last 11 years without you by my side. I couldn't ask for a better wife or friend. I am excited to see what the next 11 years have in store for us. Love you!

PS. Beth made a new post and I kind of buried it so look below for the latest on allie!

Allie loves to pull her legs up and then slam them down.  We joked that she is going to be a professional wrestler.  She would crush her opponent with her mighty thunder thigh slam.  In the night while she is restless she flops around in her crib.  Each night I put Allie to bed like this....

and most of the time I find her like this or

like this

Oh our little flopper.  :)

Allie loves it when we read to her.  She grabs at the pictures and sits anxiously waiting for you to turn the page.  She even likes to hold onto the book with you.  It's so cute.  Here is Matt reading Everyone Poops and then Wet Dog.  Have you ever read Everybody Poops?  That book, it's disgusting!  and to make matters worse Matt added sounds effects to the book.  GROSS!

Allie wanted her teething ring so bad but refused to let go of the other two toys in her hands.  

So dad helped her out

Happy girl

Does Allie look like her mama?

Friday my brother turned 30 and we celebrated with a bunch of his friends at El Goucho downtown.  It was an amazing dinner.  We had the best Clam Chowder we have ever had (with tiny bacon strips), awesome steaks with garlic mashed potatoes.  Then for dessert we had Banana's Foster made table side.  Yum!  Then on Sunday we gave him his gifts.  I was excited to give him a slideshow of a bunch of pictures of him.  I also did this for my sisters 30th.  I am the only sibling in my 20s now and I have made this known several times.  :)  Just to rub it in a little. hehe. Happy Birthday Shawn!  It was fun celebrating with you.  

The old man :)
