My Baby is 5!

This is what 5 looks like!

Allison was up before I was so she didn't get breakfast in bed. She did enjoy a pancake with a whipped cream smiley face on the birthday "Wonder Bread" plate.

 

 

 

Allison was anticipating the bump on the head.

Allie got a baby that cooed and gurgled.  Its eyes moved up and down as it was sucking on its pacifier and its chest rose up and down when it was sleeping. Zach thought that the baby was creepy and it died about 4 days later (batteries no longer worked).They just don't make them like they used to!

We love this book and the movie is great too.

Allie got a jeep that is powered by a battery. It is a little small for her but she manages to go around and around in circles out on the basketball pad.

Later that day we went swimming at Thousand Springs. We met Steve, Jaime and kids there. Jaime has this cool camera that we could take under water pictures with. We all had red eyes after swimming for opening our eyes up under water.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After we got home we had a yummy dinner and cake and ice cream. Allison wanted a ladybug cake. She especially liked all of the candy on it. Jane and Leon stopped by for a quick visit later that evening after a baptism.

 

Allison has been so much fun to raise and I am so glad that she is a part of our family. She is still my best little buddy at home and no one can do it quite like her mommy can. She told me the other day when I left for a basketball game that she hates it when I go because it is no fun and boring at home. What a character. This year she has some major dental work to get done that we are not looking forward to. Also, she will be starting kindergarten this fall. It is hard to believe that she is old enough to do that. It is even harder to believe that I am old enough to have six kids with my youngest entering kindergarten and my oldest graduating from High School.  Time Flies when you are having fun! Happy Birthday Allison, we love you!
