Happy Birthday Allison!

While today is officially Allison's birthday we did celebrate it last night as Kaylee and Andrew will both be busy with their Church Choirs and Youth Group tonight.

Here are a couple of videos of the festivities.

MMMMMM CAKE!!!

Sleep Jumping

So you may have heard of sleep walking but how many have heard of sleep jumping? In case you haven't let this be your introduction. Apparently the jumparoo is so much fun that once you start...you can't stop...not even sleep can get in the way.

Here Samantha demonstrates the art of sleep jumping. After 5-10 minutes of straight up hard jumping the exhaustion sets in...the rest speaks for itself.

Watch at how the spectators are amazed at the art of sleep jumping.

And for the record that is "Alvin and the Chipmunks" the movie in the background NOT the Christmas CD.

A Years Difference

As I was looking through some of my old pictures I noticed these two of Allison in the swing at the park. They were in the same swing and were taken about 2 weeks shy of exactly 1 year apart.

Where to Begin

Okay so after hearing it from two grandparents and one aunt I guess it's finally time to post some updates. The question is obviously where to begin after a month of not posting anything. We've obviously had a lot going on the past 5 weeks. We had a full fledged family vacation...the first in our families history. Andrew has returned home from the summer away and has now started school, Taekwondo, band and will soon sign up for the tech crew for the school play. Kaylee starts choir tomorrow and is looking older and older and less like our little baby. Allison is going through her clingy stage and talking more (and more clearly). Then there's Samantha who I think in my last post I had just talked about how she just started crawling. A week later she started pulling herself up and now she's pretty mobile...as long as she's hanging on to the table or couch and of course continues to always be happy. Anyways here are some quick picture updates . I promise there will be a lot more to come here soon.

Our little princess.

In case you can't see there are 7 little white speckles sticking out of her gums now.

While on vacation we were introduced to disc golf. We finally got the chance to go out and play a few holes last weekend.
Allison joined in on the action.
