Allie 18 months

Allie is growing up so fast!  She is talking so much and saying the cutest things! 

Allie says pease for please.  It's pretty hard to say no, when she is looking at you with those big brown eyes and saying pease! Here are some things she asks for!

canny (candy) pease

park pease

more pease

hold you pease (wants to be held)

cake cake (pancake) pease 

water pease

gape (grape) pease

Some Vocab she had learned from her big brothers:

Saber (light saber)

cone (clone trooper)

D2 (r2d2)

ego (Legos)

trol (Wii remote control)

DS  (nintendo DS)

She loves to grab their things and run! Isn't that what little sisters are for? 

She is lucky to have two big brothers to look out for her. A few weeks ago we took Allie's binki away and only let her have it for nap and bed time. Brycen and Blake told me I was mean and that she was just a baby and to give it back to her. Sometimes I would catch them sneaking it to her! Every night they pray for her, usually that she will grow big.  Brycen took her for show and tell to his first grade class. The teacher had Allie sit on a chair next to Brycen, and the whole class sat on the floor around them and asked Brycen questions about her. 

Allie loves animals, especially "kitty's" and "doggies" . When we had her pictures done the photographers cat ended up in some of the pictures because Allie would have a fit if we took the cat away.

What I love about Allie!

She will give you hugs and kisses whenever you ask.

Her soft curly hair.

Her cheesy smiles.

I love kissing her cheeks

When she says "mommy pretty" and "I yuv you"

Disneyland

We left Allie with Grandma Doman and took the boys to Disneyland

and California Adventure for three days, it was sure fun! Here are some

of the highlights of our trip.

Notice we didn't track down any princesses. Maybe the 

next time around!

Jedi Training Acadaemy was one of the top highlights of the 

trip. The boys were chosen out of the audience to train. After

the training they got to fight the dark side! Either Darthmal 

or Darthvader. It was very cute to see how serious they took

it!

In toon town we tracked down Mickey and Minnie! We also

found Chip and Dale's tree house.

The Pixar parade was amazing! The boys loved seeing all the characters.

The family favorite ride was in California Adventure, called Soarin over California. We loved it so much we went back 4 times! Blake said his favorite was the Buzz light year ride and the Jedi training. Brycen said his favorite was also the Jedi training and the roller coaster that went upside down! I loved seeing the boys having so much fun. Jared forced me to go on the Hollywood tower of terror! I hated every second of it but I survived! I made him go on it's a small world! He thinks it's dumb but I love that ride,it is just so classic! Reminds me of when I went there as a kid! Fun times!Fun memories!

Finally an Update!

I have been told I'm a horrible blogger! I'll repent and try to do better!  So here it is, an update on the past couple of months. Emillie! Pictures of Allie are comming! I just had her pics done and I'm wait'n on them! We are headed to disneyland this next week too! Hopefully we don't come back with the Swine flu! Thanks for reading. Love you all!

Utah Trip

I flew home to visit the last part of March/first of April. Brycen had a week off from school for spring break, but Jared had to work. I took all three kids and flew home by myself, which is always a headache! Especially because Allie is at the age where you try to avoid flying on an airplane at all costs! I survived luckily and it was sure fun to see everybody! 

Dad bought this bag of cat food just for Allie, not because they have a cat or anything! Good thing the dog likes cat food! And not just any cat food "Alley Cat" food! 

When Allie first met Taylor (Kristin's Husband)! She wasn't gonna have a thing to do with him. So it became his goal that by the time we left, she would come to him! His tactic? Food of course, usually cheese, Allie's favorite! As you can tell by the pictures, he won her over!
Grandma and Grandpa Rigby drove down from Idaho to see us! It was fun to get to see them. Grandma even played video games with the boys! Now that is a pretty cool great Grandma!

My mom had a lady in her ward come to the house and teach us all how to make whole wheat bread from scratch! 
Lindsey and I drove to Syracuse, Utah to see my cousin Brittney! Thanks Britt for letting my kids terrorize your house! 
I also went to visit my friend Becky, one of my best friends ever!  I got to see her new house and her cute kids!

T-Ball

This year Brycen and Blake get to be on the same T-ball team.  Here are a few pics of the team and the boys in action!

Tulip Festival

The Tulip Festival in Woodburn, Oregon is about an hour drive from Vancouver. It is like nothing you've ever seen, it is so beautiful! It is basically flower heaven! We took a day and drove down with some friends, Emy Adams and her two boys Russell and T.J.  It was lots of fun!

Newport Beach Trip

Easter weekend we took a trip with Jared's parents to Newport beach. Although it was pretty cold, the boys had lots of fun finding shells and starfish on the beach. We stayed in a motel room that was right on the beach.

We also went to a really cool Aquarium. There were all sorts of sea creatures to see and touch!
Thank goodness for Grandmas! She carried Allie around the entire aquarium, we rented a stroller, but she refused to sit in it!

I think they had fun! You'd never know it by the looks of this picture!

Brycens Leprachaun trap

For St. Patricks day Brycens homework was to make a Leprachaun trap. Here is what he came up with, (with some help from mom and dad!) The leprachaun climbs the ladder made of toothpicks and then attached to an oatmeal container. He sees the gold coin dangling, and when he goes to reach for it the lid gives way and he falls down into the container and is trapped!

On St. Patricks day. Brycen says that the Leprachauns came to his classroom while they were at the library and destroyed it, tipping over chairs and garbage cans ect. Unfortunately nobody caught a leprachaun, but candy was left in their traps! Better luck next year huh? 

A Trampoline for our backyard!

We recently got a trampoline now that we actually have a backyard! The kids love it and have had lots of fun on it! It makes a perfect wrestling arena!
