My girls....

I am going to miss these two little girls! Mark and I are leaving in the morning for a much needed week-long trip, just the two of us. The girls are staying half the week with my parents and the other half with Mark's parents. We are so grateful that they both live in town and will take such good care of our babies!! We will have some pictures to post afterwards, so stay tuned.....have a great week!! We love you Miss Em and Allie B!!!!!

Mercedes 1/2 Marathon! Go Daddy!!!

Mark ran (and finished!!) the Mercedes 1/2 marathon this weekend. We were all so proud of him. Also, his brother Jonathan and brother-in-law Howard ran and finished as well. They all did just awesome!! The whole family was there to cheer them on at the finish line and enjoy the big party afterwards. Way to go guys!!
This is Mark about to cross the finish line with his sister Lorrie cheering on the right!

The 3 guys with their medals - Good job!!


Allison just taking it all in




Cousins!

Emily and Allison's cousins came in town this weekend for the marathon (and my birthday!). The kids had a blast, especially the older three. They were all so cute holding hands and playing together!

Outside fun!!

Finally!! I've been trying to post these pictures for 5 days now and it just now worked!! We spent lots of time outside this past week - the weather was great. I was a sub at Emily's school on Wednesday and we both really enjoyed it! This weekend we will be celebrating Valentine's Day and my birthday and Mark is running the Mercedes 1/2 Marathon on Sunday. Have a great weekend!

My littlest (for now) Angel!

Zing, Zang, Zoom

Mark and I took Emily to the circus on Saturday afternoon; we all had a blast and Emily's favorite part was the tigers. She still talks about the lions not being there.....

not a big fan of the clowns during the pre-show
enjoying the candy necklace I had for her - much cheaper than the $15 sno-cones!!!

horses and zebras


the tigers!!




Allison's Birthday Party!

Allison's first birthday party was so much fun. We didn't go all out like we did for Emily's - but hey, she's the second child and I'm pregnant. Family and close friends enjoyed a fun afternoon. Allison was very dainty in eating HER cake; no bath needed!! I can't believe she is already one - where does the time go??
Friends and family.
"ONE!!"


LOVE this picture!!
Not to sure why everyone is staring at her....





CAKE!

The birthday girl!!
Emily enjoyed the cake too.
