We had family over for my b-day and it was a lot of fun. Especially being able to have everyone comfortably in our place. We will hopefully post pictures of our place soon but for now you can see little glimpses.

Here is my brother doing my dishes which just had to be photographed. :) Thanks Shawn!

Family :)

Today the weather was finally nice enough to do something fun outside, preferably in the water so we had a play date with our friends Kayla and Jillian at the Happy Valley splash pad. The weather was perfect, just right only about 75 with a little wind. The kids happily played for a while, Allie didn't really want to play with the shooting water but loved to play in the dirty puddles around it. I know we will be doing the a ton this summer. Come join us!

We spent most of our fourth in Happy Valley with my sister and her family so we got to start the day off with some sliding in their backyard!




We then headed to the park because they do a big celebration with food vendors (ate way too many sweets) and bouncy houses for the kids. Allie is still a bit to small for all that but she had fun anyways. I think this picture is so funny. They are making identical faces.


We then barbecued and hung out letting the kids do some fireworks.




and then (I think this is so awesome) the neighborhood does a kid parade. Allie had fun waving at all the people. She was so cute doing her princess wave. Then Happy Valley does a big fireworks show but we got Allie home and in bed before that. We had a fun day!

The other day while in the bedroom Allie came in and shut the door. She then turned to me, put her hands on either side of her face and said "Oh Dear".
That night we put her to bed and she sat in there and cried over and over "Oh Dear!!!"

While at the mall with Nonna she saw a Thomas the Train book and said "Oh my gosh!"

While getting ready to leave she said "Let's go baby"

and once again I try to get her to say Yes Mama while trying to obey and she started saying "Yes Baby".

Yep that's right! We have officially become claustrophobic in our place and we started searching a few months ago. We found a great townhouse out in Clackamas. It has three bedroom and three full baths. and I think it's hilarious that Allie will get her own bathroom and walk in closet. Spoiled. :) So if any of you blog readers want to be our bestest friends and help us move on July 10th please let us know! Wish us luck as we prepare to move yet again. It is never ending. ;)

I asked Will (2 1/2) if he wanted some apricot and he said

Will: "Yes I would like some aperpot."

Every time Allie hears or sees anything about a monkey she says

"No more monkeys jump on da bed"

Whenever Allie asks for something Matt always says "oh okay" so Allie now says it whenever she asks for something. For example

Allie: "Milk please"
Me: "Here's your milk"
Allie: "Oh okay"

Out landlord is currently redoing to roof on the house and the roofers where there during the weekend. It was quite annoying trying to get Allie her naps. On Monday Matt had one of the windows open and the roofers were whistling outside. Allie looked at Matt and started saying "Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho".

Here are some cute Will (my nephew 2 1/2) ism's

This was the conversation between Beth and I the other night after a commercial for the new Sex and the City Movie. (must say that earlier in the day Beth was giving me crap for watching the golden girls)


Me: So gross

Beth: What

Me: They are so old now who wants to watch a movie about a bunch of old lady's talking about sex?

Beth: Well the golden girls had sex!

Me: Only Blanch, she was a whore!

We bought Allie her first bible the other day and she loves reading it before bed now. The first day we got it she loved talking about the baby in the book (which was Moses in his basket), she kept telling me he was poopy. Then while reading it at bed time she kissed the Jesus picture over and over. I think she likes her new bible.

About a month ago Allie started doing "the eyebrows" to us at random times. I finally caught it on tape. Sorry youtube makes it a little blurry and her eyebrows are so light but it's so adorable once she does it. :) Enjoy! - Eyebrows

Yesterday Matt and I started to smell something funky and we asked Allie is she was poopy. Will (2 1/2) being the good big cousin decided it was his job to check her and went over to lift up her shirt and try and check her. She started to squirm away but the look on his face followed quickly by a gag did indeed tell us that she was poopy. We haven't laughed that hard in a while. :)
