BUSY :)

I just love being able to get outside with my sweet girl! We have recently hit up the zoo (twice) haha! Allie LOVED it...and so does her momma :) We actually got a membership so we can go all we want now!

                She ran around like crazy in the water fountains!

They have a little petting zoo with sheep and goats and she liked that part too... 

We LOVE the zoo :)

this is on the way home while eating her chocolate chip cookie...she really enjoyed it :)

 She enjoyed the train, the petting zoo (the sheep sound really freaky and she laughed and imitated them the whole time), the splash pad, and seeing all the animals and other kids, rode the carousel, but her favorite part is feeding the birds (even thought she shakes her head and says "no, no birdy") and I know she looks terrified in every picture but she really does love it and when we walk out she says "birdy...touch him" haha!

 

We also had to get Allie's blow up pool out since it has been so hot and she loves to be outside! She loves the water...she gets in and out, in and out of her little pool screaming like a little goose the whole time :) Saying "oooshy, told" (ooshy cold).

          

Enjoying her snack by the pool :)   

Eating her new favorite thing "pucka" (a sucker)

I took Allie to books a million too and let her pick out a couple of new books, she LOVES that place! I think when she gets a little older that could be one of our hang outs because I also love it!!

She also rode the mower with daddy for the first time (only for about 2 minutes haha). The girl does NOT like to sit still :)

She also discovered a new favorite thing...Shaving cream!! She used all of mine and we had to get her a can of her own at wal-mart :)

She is just so proud haha, like she has just painted a masterpiece :)

Allie is trying to cut a molar and has been running a fever and not feeling as good as she normally does for the past week or so! But she is still running around like crazy :)

We are going to Mexico in July and I had to get a picture of her for her little passport (possibly one of the most stressful things I have had to do)...well lets just say there were a lot of tears...on both ends haha! She wouldn't let the man at Walgreens take it so we had to do it at home with a poster board behind her. There was a LOT of bribing involved. I felt awful because I would sit her there and say "just let mommy take a picture and I will give you this sucker" and she would just smile as big as she could (but when she does this she leans her head way back and closes her eyes and for a passport photo it has to be straight on with eyes open:). And she just didn't understand, she thought she was doing so good for smiling at me and she was just trying so hard! If this doesn't make you smile, then something is wrong with you haha :)

hahahah

BUT we finally got one that was "acceptable" by the passport people :)

And oddly enough it is one of the only ones that she is not smiling in!

We took Allie Kate to "pump it up" this past weekend and she had SO much fun! She ran around and jumped to her little hearts desire.

Then we had a birthday party to go to in Tuscaloosa on Sunday (Emma's 3rd bday). Emma has a ball pit and Allie had a good time...but she wouldn't get in without yours truly :)

I'm going to get my lovins...no matter what I have to do :)

After the party we drove around and looked at all the damage from the tornado that came through about a month ago...it was amazing to see and also made me very thankful.
