warrior dash 2013!

 I did this race two years ago with my bestie Lycie and couldnt do it last year because I had just had a baby! we want to make it a yearly tradition though when possible:) my sister alissa joined in with us. we had so much fun!

miss (princess) allyson turns 3!

 Allyson's 3 year stats:

29.4lbs (25th %)
38in tall (75th %)

This little girl is as girly as it gets! She loves to dance, dress like a princess, do her hair and makeup, and go shopping! not quite sure where she came from? haha. she keeps us on our toes with how smart she is. she consistently surprises us with new words and phrases and her daddy and I both think, where did get THAT from?! the other day she said "oh yes, that will be swell!" swell? who says that? lol. she still cant say some words which also makes us laugh. the other day after filling the truck up with gas, I get back in the truck and she says "did you put ass in the fruck?" I died laughing (naughty mommy). she can be REALLY whiny but is sweet most of the time. the other day when I was having a bad day (crying was involved) she came up to me and said "are you sad mommy?" and I said yes to which she replied "I will make you a cup of tea and it will make it all better" And she did, and it did make me feel better:) she LOVESSSS all her grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins soooo much and is always so excited to see them! she is now a huge fan of disneyland and cant wait to go back! she will tell you that favorite princess is rapunzel and that her favorite ride is the horsees (merry-go-round). she loves going to dance class and dances around the house often. she is still a VERY picky eater (hence why she doesnt even weigh 30 pounds yet) She refuses to try ANY fruits or vegetables, and I mean ANY - she wont even eat mashed potatoes or fries! odd child. so vitamins it is! But she does love her dairy and protein! (cheese, yogurt, milk, meat, PB) so I will take it! She likes to play with little sister sometimes, but usually just gets annoyed with her taking/messing up what she is doing! She has graduated to a big girl bed now and it is decked out in princess bedding so she LOVES it! I didnt have any issues switching her except that she fell off the bed the first three nights so we had to go buy a bed railing! she STILL wont get out of bed in the morning until I go get her, which I dont mind! she loves going to church...and who wouldnt when you get to play for two hours with new (different) toys and wear a pretty dress?! she loves to be mommys helper. we read The Hungry Caterpillar book every night before bed. and by "we" I mean SHE reads it to me. Its her favorite book! she will only wear dresses and skirts and must be wearing mary-jane shoes ("dancing shoes") at all times. She is potty trained except at night...although about half the time she stays dry at night too! Since she drinks most of her calories I have not taken away drinks at bedtime yet so Im okay with it:) she loves to watch all the princess movies (of course) and will sing and dance along. she calls me queen mommy and calls her daddy the king and refers to herself as princess allyson! and occasionally she will say that kilee is a princess too. haha! anyways, i could on and on...i love you princess allyson!

First trip to Disneyland!

 Since kids under 3 are free at Disneyland, we decided to take Allyson right before her third birthday. If I would've known that disneyland is not strict (at all) with this age requirement, I would've waited till a couple weeks after her third birthday because we went right during california schools spring break! we will definitely go at a less-busy time next time! we are so fortunate enough to have family that lives near all these fun theme parks and the beach! we stayed with my uncle jeff and aunt leah and they were the best hosts! we love them so much and are so thankful for them! Get ready for picture overload!
