Happy Birthday Allie!!

We can't believe you are a year old already.
Where has the time gone?
You fill our hearts with happiness and laughter,
but who couldn't love your big blue eyes!
You are everything we imagined and so much more.
We love your smile and giggles and the look of amazement when you figure out something new.
We hope you enjoyed your day at the zoo.
We can't wait to spend many more birthdays with you.

We love you so much,
Daddy and Mommy

Easter Weekend!

We have had a busy couple of past weekends spending time with family. Last weekend we went to Champaign to celebrate Easter on the Hermann side. One highlight of the weekend was Allie finding the stairs in the house and she LOVED going up them..coming down however was a different story. Her poor little legs had to be hurting on Monday. Lots of fun was had and of course a little shopping was done. Thanks to the Easter Bunny for all the great gifts!!

Allie loves when you read her books...aunt Anna was doing a wonderful job:)

and so it begins...the many trips up the stairs!!

This past weekend we went to my mom and dads to celebrate Easter. It was a little windy on Saturday but nice enough to go outside for a while. Allie went on her first ranger ride. I don't know you enjoyed it more...Allie or grandpa!
Later in the afternoon we decided to color some eggs. Allie could have cared less but we did it anyways!

My dad had ordered the tractor a while back and it finally came in last week. Allie loves it! Thanks grandpa. I am sure she will like it even more when she is able to drive and pedal.


We went to my grandpa and grandmas for lunch on Sunday. What a gorgeous day!! We stayed outside the entire day!

Allie enjoying the day!
