oldie but goodie

These pictures were taken on Ally's birthday in march. Ally got BFF necklaces in her strawberry shortcake cake topper......so she gave half to her bff cuz. :) They are too cute!

Baby Kitties

Reese's cat had 5 kittens. We want to take 2 (Ally & I do), but daddy is stinky and only wants us to have one. So Ally named her Kitty- Elmo... yes you read it right, his name is Elmo. He is the fluffy multicolored kitten. I want Frank the Tank...the grey one.... but I will only get 2 if something changes between now & a couple weeks..... Here are some pics...

Elmo..

My 30th...

Here are all the pictures.......the night was so much fun! Believe me..I suffered the next day...the WHOLE next day! But I will only turn 30 once, so I guess? I did it right?

Thank you to everyone who celebrated to me~ it was awesome!

Also...thanks Mom & Dad for taking my kiddos overnight!!

~Little Gym Funny Bug Big Show~

Ally had her end of semester BIG SHOW for her Funny Bug class at the Little Gym. Her daddy, baby brother, Gramy DiOrio & Grandma Holmes came to watch her (me too)~ I was happy that she actually did her little routines & did not get too shy in front of all the people!

Ally must have taken this of herself sometime.....sort of freaky looking.... Reminds Dustin of that Blair Witch Project...

3 yr & 1 yr Check ups......

Miss Alexandra Lynn had her 3 yr check up & Dustin had his 1 yr check up yesterday. It went great. Everything is wonderful. Ally had to get 1 shot & Dustin had to get 3. They did not enjoy them at all. I even had to make Ally face the wall when Dustin got his 3 so she wouldn't attack the nurse for hurting him... ;)

Also...my daughter is not modest at all. She did not want to wear the robe, so she was just in her undies, she had to go potty so she strutted down the hallway in her daisy duck undies... she told me it was ok if people saw her boobies. (gotta love that)

STATS:

~Alexandra Lynn Holmes~

Weight: 31lbs 2oz = 50%

Height: 38.25" = 72%

~Dustin Joseph Holmes~

Weight: 22lbs 8.5oz = 46%

Height: 30.5" = 74%

Head Circ.: 46.2cm =45%

So in my own words....just perfect!!!

We had a great Easter!

This is at my parents house.....Dustin wanted into the kitchen to "help" color eggs........we locked him out.

Easter morning at our house.

Fred Meyer parking lot. Ally thought this was super cool. She ran to the car & her boots were literally FILLED with water..she was crying. We dumped out the water & took off her pants to hush her up. It was pretty funny.
