State Wrestling & Bball Weekend(s)

The state wrestling and basketball playoffs were held in Prescott this year. Allyson and I were able to go watch Eli's first couple matches on Friday. He did so well!! So proud of him:)


Allyson was so cute...she cheered and yelled the whole time! (she did the same thing at Lissa's games, so I guess she just wanted to fit in and yell with everyone else!)


We headed back home Friday night because Lissa had her first game down here in the valley the following Saturday. We had the pleasure of Ashley and Jason staying with us as well. We all got in some quality 'Just Dance' time on the Wii!


allyson is thinking "what the heck is going on?!"

this one is the best! ashley's pose and allyson's facial expression says it all!

I am a bad sister and didn't take any pics of Lissa during her games! She won her first game, but then lost a heartbreaker game the following weekend up in Prescott. She did well though! We love you aunt Wissa!

Allyson Marie - 10 months

I cannot believe my sweet little allyson is almost 10 months old! I feel so fortunately to get to stay home with her...she is my life! Every morning, I get to wake up to this cute lil' face and it just makes my day:)
allyson makes this commute over to Hunter every day more than once! It really bums me out that he is such a hyper dog; otherwise I would just let her go play!

She has mastered crawling quite well now. She just follows me around from room-to-room. She is definitely a mommy's girl, but she will go to anyone!

she loves to blow bubbles! one of her many tricks!

I just absolutely LOVE her eyes! makes it super hard to say no to her!

she lovesss toys that make noise! the toy she is holding (from great g'ma crosby) is super noisy. she will shake it like crazy while screaming. crazy kid!

she is very smart...knows exactly when she is into things she cant have!

she is now pulling herself up onto EVERYTHING! she has already had quite a few falls...she's quite the dare devil.

sticks her tongue out all the time...just like her daddy! (he claims its "cool" because Michael Jordan does it! lol)

And here is my little begger!

This girl just brings pure joy! she is almost ALWAYS happy!! its so fun to take her to stores because she just smiles at everyone and it makes people so excited/happy when they smile at her (the most fun are the circle K cashiers:)

what is she begging for now?!

oh, thats right! my circle K pepsi! startin' her young! haha! (notice how she is sad because I told her no)

sportin' her camo! she is bound to be a hunter with Ben as her daddy. And yes, her nose looks orange. She is a VERY picky eater and only likes the orange vegetables - (sweet potatoes, carrots, and squash) and the dang things stain her face almost instantly!

She loves to mess with daddy's toys (which he does NOT like!) Whenever she hears music, she starts to dance...and she actually has rythm! its so dang cute (not that i'm biased:)

She talks to Hunter every morning...I always am curios what babies talk about!

can i go play? please?!

and here comes the crazy kid! she gets more fun every day. will play 'patty cake' on que, has screaming contests with her aunts, has everyone wrapped around her little finger, still likes to cuddle (which i love!), loves vanilla wafers, and will eat everything on the ground! (I am pretty sure she has eaten a couple of her little plastic hair ties)
She sleeps pretty well through the night...is having a tougher time at the moment because she has FIVE teeth coming in at the same time! We love you allyson marie!

my 'not-so-professional' photography skillz

So, for my birthday Ben bought me a super nice Nikon camera. So Ash let me have a little fun taking some wedding pics of them. They are a gorgeous couple, so they made it easy!
disclaimer: I am in NO way professional, actually, I just point and click! its so much fun:)







(this one is horrible lighting, but the pic idea was so cute!)
