Zoie

Here is our new dog named Zoie.
she is 8 months old and is as sweet as can be

A day at the beach

Here are some pictures of the kids at the beach the other day. i think it was July 2!? anyway there are not many of trevor b/c my camera battery died before i could get many of him.. plus he is wide open in the water so it would have been hard to catch him on camera anyway. he is going to turn in to a fish one day... Ally didnt really know what to day. she tried walking and it was too hard so she got down on all fours and started crawling. she wasnt too crazy about the water either.. but she warmed up to it a little bit as long as i was holding her.

trip to charleston

Here are some pictures from our trip to spartanburg.

finally i got some more pictures to post

These were taken on Friday. See the bruise on Ally's forhead. that is the result of her throwing a tantrum and hitting a water pitcher. she is quite a dramatic little thing.and quite the little pouter too. the kids were just looking out the window and i figured that i would try to get some of those good pictures that you always see people have with their kids looking out the window. Trevor was also being a little sweety giving ally kisses. he is always trying to give her kisses and hugs and usually she puts up a fight..

Bubble

This was ally's first bubble bath. She didnt quite know what to do but once she figured it out she wouldnt stop splashing. needless to say the bathroom was a soaking mess and I looked like I had been in the bath too. Trevor is a little fish in the water . He loves taking baths and he helped ally with splashing.

Ally on her bike

Ally was having a great time getting on and off her little bike. the only problem is that her legs are too small to move anywhere but she enjoys to get on and off with the occasional problem of her legs getting caught on the bikes cupholders.

Pictures from spartanburg

for those of you who wanted me to post some pictures of myself. this is the only one that I could find that was only a month old. the other pictures were of the kids at Cleveland Park.

Silly Boy

Here is Trevor being silly while he was supposed to be eating the dinner that I made. and Yes I actually made dinner not coming from a box...

Allison Walking

Well I was finally able to get a picture of Allison walking all by herself.

Allison

Allison took 3 steps today for the first time all by herself!!! Hurray!!!!! I missed the first time she did it but Matthew saw it. and i saw it a little after when he told me she did it. i was unfortunately in the other room. but at least Matthew saw it!

Here is Trevor and his favorite pants. the spiderman pants that Nana Creek made for him. he always wants to wear them.

Easter

Here is Allison in her pretty Easter dress. She was upset because I took her Nerds away. she really likes Nerd candy. the other day i was eating some with her and i stuck my tongue out to show her my mouth full of Nerds and she stuck her tongue out showing hers too! its was really cute but i couldnt seem to get a picture of it..

The lion tamer

Allison is now an experienced climber. she can climb up and down off their bench. she gets a little frustrated sometimes and pitches a little bit of a fit. (well shes usually pretty dramatic about it so its not really a little fit) In the first picture i think she looks like she's a lion trainer! ;)

Movie time

This is the first time that Allison has actually been interested in a movie. well not interester per say but she was watching a little bit of it with Trevor and Daddy. Trevor was getting cuddly with Allison.
