Our Good-Natured Little Girl

This is Alli, plain and simple.

Always happy!

Sweet pea.

Hugs for my favorite puppy and the bunny that wanted one, too.

Sporting the jellies, just like my Auntie Tiffany!

Captivated by Daddy.

On Saturday we hit Maple Valley Days with Auntie Laura and Baby Julian.  Yes, there was some off-roading involved.

This is what Baby Julian thought about the parade...

...and this is what I thought about the parade.

 

Maybe next year I'll take a nap beforehand.

And We Call Her...

... Alli Lou Who!

Just bring on the Grinch!!

Watching Daddy mow the lawn.

Gosh, he's good at that.

Sippy cups are for babies!

The Great Outdoors

This past weekend we went up to Auntie Tiffany and Uncle Mark's house to celebrate Uncle Mark's accomplishments.  It was such a great day that we spent most of it outside.

Action shot!

Umm... nice hit, Cousin Chase!

Faster, Daddy, faster!

No hands!

Short stuff :)

On Monday, we went on my very first camping trip.

I was such a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiig helper setting up!

Piggy-back rider in training.

It looks like Mom got the light load. ;)

Birds!

Now this is what I call roughing it!

The Little Explorer

I can't wait to do this again!

Our Biggest Shout-Out Yet (because he asked for it)

Oh, I'm definitely a keeper!!!

I wanna go now...

... but I know he'll take me soon!

The best one yet...

Don't you think?

Here's a close-up:

Ladies, any takers???  (Why settle for the park when we have the whole Internet at our fingertips, right?)  Love you, Uncle Chris!!!

Just Because...

... I got behind on posting photos, I figured I'd better do some catching up!

About a dozen times a day, I tell stories to my friends Ashtyn, Maverick, and Jax.

Sometimes they're really, really funny!

Please let Cabo in!  He's getting all wet!

10 months old, going on 4 years. :)

Just cute!

Spokane

My mom and dad decided to sneak out of town for a couple of days, so they let me stay with Grandma and Grandpa in Spokane.

Bathtime!! 

They took me down to Riverfront Park.

See all the geese?  Yep, they're my new friends.

For once, Grandpa doesn't look so big!

Grandpa took me on my very first carousel ride!

He read me stories each night before bedtime.  I think he was a big fan of my Sweetheart Fairies book.

Hmm... do you notice that someone is missing from these pictures?  Grandma, you're busted!  Next time we'll make sure you're not hiding behind the camera the entire time.  :)  Thanks for showing me a great time!  I'm sorry I wore you out, but you asked for it!!!!

A Short Hike

Peek-a-boo!

It's pretty fun up here!

We ended up standing at the top of a waterfall.  (Who knew Bonney Lake had one?)

The bottom was waaaaaaaaaaaaaay down there.

We had such a great time that I decided to sing about it when we got home!

Training Wheels

Just a quick post to show everyone what Alli is up to these days!

9 Month Photos

Yes, I am finally posting a couple of Alli's 9 month photos.  It's hard to believe she'll be 10 months old next week.  How did that happen? :)

Of course, we've learned not to take good hair days for granted.

Is there a problem?
