Fall is Here!

Hey guys! Isn't the weather spectacular? Daddy and me LOVE fall!! We didn't do much worth blogging this week, but here are some pictures and cute videos! Kiley is finally using her highchair. She's pretty small in it though...it was fun trying to feed her in it! :) She'd really rather eat the highchair itself than anything else!!

Leah came over for a play date on Friday! She's one of my friends from school! I LOVE LOVE LOVE her!! We played dress up. I put this skirt/hat on all by myself!


Leah and Me as Princesses

Kiley had a play date too! Little baby Samuel came over! He's younger but bigger than Kiley! See?


Sam (3 mos.) and Me (5 mos.)

Oh...Mommy's doing a diet thingy. Here she is before...


Before

and we'll post an after picture when she's all skinny. :) Love you all!

Check these out!!

This is what Kiley and I would have looked like if we both lived in the "olden" days!! :)

Hee hee!! I HAD to show you these!! :)

Have a great rest of your week!

Back in the SWING of things!!

Well...we've been back home for a week now and all is slowly returning to normal. (As normal as it can get with TWO crazy monkeys!) There's been lots of sister cuddles and football huddles. (WAY TO GO PACK!!)



And some very fast wagon rides and tall Ferris Wheel highs!!

It's been FUN!

Thursday we all went to a Carnival in downtown Clayton! I've REALLY wanted to ride a Ferris wheel ever since I read a Barbie book about one. Thursday night I had my chance!! It was HUGE! Daddy had his "death grip" around me as we rode it. Up and Down...round 'n round!
I was all smiles the whole time! I also rode a swing ride called the "WayOut" and got scared and HAD to get off! (Plus Mommy was about to puke!) Then I rode the carousel and a spinny ride with motorcycles and cars! Daddy took pictures on his camera phone...maybe he'll share them!

Friday Daddy left for a trip to Florida and was gone WAY too long! I managed to keep my self busy though. I played almost ALL DAY Saturday and Sunday with Emily and Adi! We had a bunch of new kids from next door playing with us too!! Here's my new friend Claire giving Adi and Me a ride on "Roller Coaster Road!"




Kiley had a "jumpin" good time too! Mimi gave her a new Johnny Jump Up. At first we thought it was broken....


Hang'in On

but then we realized the doorway was just too high and we had to find a new place for her to jump. The bathroom worked great!!




Here's an game for you to play:

which one is Mally??

I didn't want it to be too hard!!

Have a great week you guys! Love you all!

New York

Well, we ALL made the trip to Long Island, NY and back safely! Mommy was truly amazed at how wonderful we did in the car rides up and down! It only took us 9 hours and some minutes time to get to GG's and then back home on Sunday! (I even got to watch a new Diego movie Daddy bought be for being such a good flower girl....but more on that in a bit)

Jason's FIRST look as his bride-to-be

Hamming it up

Family photo 2008

My cousin Jason got married to a beautiful girl named Francine. I was their flower girl (well there was another flower girl named Hanna, but she was older than me and oh so nice!) I wore a white -twirl around in- dress. I loved it!

Did I mention "hamming it up?"

The whole time I listened really well and did what I was told! I really HAMMED it up for the cameras during picture time! (Mommy sees some attention grabbing behavior in the near future! Maybe she'll sign me up for some commercials!! ha) Seriously, I'm pretty sure I had one of the best times of my life!

During the ceremony


On the dance floor with Hanna

That night at the reception I boogied on the dance floor. I even did some of my own version of break dancing and then tried doing a line dance with ALL the big people!

I changed my clothes to be more comfy! This is me line dancing!

I'm DONE and DOG TIRED!

At about 10:00 p.m. I finally stopped dancing and just laid on the dance floor...that's when Daddy knew I was DONE and ready to go to bed!!

Kiley was a huge hit too! She's was really SMILEY in the mornings and somewhat cranky in the evenings. But overall she did really well!! Mommy pushed her around in a sweet little baby carriage that Mrs. Tufo lent her!! (it was hard to give that back!- oh so cute!)

She even tried a NY bagel at GG's and some cantaloupe melon at the wedding!


Kiley and her cantaloupe

Angel on the hotel bed

She wore a pretty pink dress and bow in her hair!! She looked all girly! :)

Pretty in Pink



SO tired at the reception

Gorgeous Aunt April

Aunt April looked beautiful too!! She wore a stunning black dress that mommy WANTS!! :)

I just realized that I didn't take any pictures at GG's house or with GG!! That's crazy!! GG...can you send me some!? :) I miss you already and can't wait to see you in December~!
Bye guys! Talk to you later!
Mals

I'm really 4 now!!

Hey friends and family!! I'm 4 now. Really..............I can't believe it! I keep saying it to EVERYONE! The first thing my classmates said to me when I got to school today was, "Mallory, are you 4 now?" "I sure AM!" I said.

I had my 4th birthday party this weekend! A lot of my friends and family came to celebrate! My Grandpa and Grandma from Florida, Mimi and Papa, Aunt Laura, Trey, Andre and Luke, Uncle, Grandma and Granddaddy, even my cousins from Maryland, Uncle Tim, Aunt Yovi, Andy and Isabella! I had so many people that I LOVE at my party!! What a blast! Here are some pictures for you!

Mommy threw me a Diego Party with Diego cupcakes (that I didn't eat!)

I never like to eat my birthday cakes and usually don't like it when it's time to sing Happy Birthday...but I had lots of practice this year and I did great! Here's me at my school party!
That's my friend Leah in the picture below! She's the BESTEST ever!!

At Saturday's party the main event (and everyone's FAVORITE) was the Slip-N-Slide! It was VERY hot and muggy outside..but we manged to stay cool! Leah and I even had an umbrella to keep us dry when it got to be too much!!

Kiley got in on the party action too!! She's been trying lots of food like carrots and hushpuppies! Go girl!

For my birthday mommy and daddy gave me a BICYCLE!! Oh my goodness! Uncle and April gave me a Diego helmet to go with it! Can you believe it? At first I didn't want to pedal all by myself...but I'm getting better at it everyday.

Also for my birthday, Daddy made me something special! He saw The Wiggles one day at work and asked them if they'd say Happy Birthday to me! Well...they did that and so much more!! Daddy put it on a DVD for me and I watched it on my birthday! I LOVE it...and I keep watching it over and over and over!! Thanks Daddy!!!

In a little over a week we're leaving to go on a trip to NY/Long Island for cousin Jason's wedding! Here's me trying on my beautiful flower girl dress!! It's all white (mommy had a flash forward of my wedding day when I put it on!! She about burst into tears...Oh mommy!!)

Love you!
