taking a trip

Down Memory lane......

Ali and my Dad have always had a special relationship. She used to spend hours with him haning out in his room watching movies and searching through his treasures.
Ali was the first baby my Dad ever got to be in the delivery room for. I hadn't planned on him coming in, but after sleeping on the waiting room couch while I labored all night long with her, I felt he kind of deserved to be there. He was extrememly grateful, and I'm glad he got to experience that in his lifetime.

Ali is about two and a half here, and they're probably watching 101 Dalmations..
Thanksgiving... She always twirled her hair when she was tired. She was such a binkie girl too.

This is Ali's 3rd birthday. She's been a princess since she could walk.

She always had to have a purse, a hate, a crown, and fancy shoes on. She went through a phase at about this age where she wouldn't wear anything but dresses.. we seriously had about 20 dresses in her closet that summer.

(They weren't all dress ups either)


3 yrs old... Carving pumpkins... so cute.
This is actually when I was pregnant with Megan, so she was about 2 1/2. She'd dressed herself this day in about 4 layers of various items of clothing. It was also her idea to wear her glasses..
We built a Snowman on my parents front lawn.
***
2 1/2-3 yrs old. potty trained but still a little small for the seat!Megan.......... Newborn
she had the funniest head of hair.. it stuck out straight no matter how hard we tried to slick it down.
Ali was NOT impressed with her baby sister... Megan was colic for about 8 weeks, and here is a perfect picture of what poor Ali thought of the whole thing.. There were many times when Ali would say "mom, Stop her crying!", or her famous quote "her wants your boob".

Megan and Mommy (Meg's 3 months old) she was SO fat.. I actually looked pretty good back then.... comparatively

Megan liked to grab at Papa's beard.. when she was in a good mood.

This is one of my all time favorites.. Taylor and Megan, when Meg was just barely two.. So sweet. I can't believe that Mattie will be two in just three short weeks. I also can't believe that Megan used to be his age! Megan about 1 I think.... such a ham. Ali and Brooke. They were born 4 days apart.

Aww!! So cute! Look at little ol' Brooke and Ali. Ali was so stinkin' cute in all her dress-ups. I remember she made Jake a prince in one of her girly dress up robes. He was all for it too.
