The Loveliest Village

We made a quick trip today to see Courtney and her new baby girl. Allie Beth enjoyed playing with Hannah! I had to also take the opportunity to get her picture made in her Auburn outfit before she outgrows it. I bribed her with ice cream, and it worked! She smiled, yelled "Cheese," and enjoyed every bite of her pink ice cream with purple sprinkles and a marshmallow on top. Her favorites. I'm determined she will be a Tiger Fan with her Mommy. I need one on my side! :)

All pictures are not cropped or edited. Sorry. I really want to learn how to use this nice camera of mine. There's no point in having it if all I use is the Auto Button. :) I hope to take a class one day....

 She heard the clock bell. I guess it scared her. :)

 Playing in the dirt looking for sticks and rocks. Some things never change!

 Trying to get the girls to smile at the camera.

 Allie strangling her.

 Allie running circles around her as she watches.

 I have a wild child.

Summer, Summer, Summer!!!

We've already been busy this summer! I finally took out my camera today to capture the fun. Krislyn and Kendan came to play with Allie this morning, so we made the most of their time here. We were busy washing cars, playing with stickers, making sprinkle cake, and having fun in between.

First and Last Day of School

Here's the first and last day of the school year. Allie has grown so much this year! She looks like a big girl now! Here she is with Daddy and Mommy on the first day.

Here she is on her birthday. Her teachers sent me the next few pictures throughout the year.

On the last day...

My BIG GIRL. This last picture gets me. She looks too grown up! I can't believe she will be in 3K this year....

May Rewind: Mother's Day Tea

Allie invited me to a Mother's Day Tea at her Preschool. It was so cute! I loved hearing all the songs that they sang for their Mommy's, enjoyed getting the cake served by Allie, enjoyed getting a pot of flowers, and loved meeting all of her friends.

 She's concentrating really hard here not to spill the cake.

  Her friends, Ava and Addie. She loves these two!

 Ava Holden is also a special friend at school.

I'm just missing a picture of one friend, Megan, from school that she always talks about. The funny thing is that she ran off, and I lost her at the end of the Tea. I had to go ask her teachers if they had seen her. They said, "Look for Megan. We guarantee she's with her." Low and behold, they pointed to the 4-year-old table where she was with Megan and her sister.  I guess that's what I get for talking....

 Her wonderful teachers: Mrs. Mel and Mrs. Katie.

What a special day! I'm looking forward to going next year too. :)
