Happy 6th Birthday Jacob!

Well it is official, BIG JAKE is no longer 5 years old! Today he hit the big old 6, and there is no looking back! Usually the last guy out of bed in this house on school days, he was up before anyone else and ready to rumble! (We suspect he thought he would get presents before school, but that is not the way it works around here!)

Here is a quick snapshot of Jacob and Allison bright and early on his birthday. His party is going to be next Saturday, we will get some more pictures to share then!

Allison's 9th Birthday Party

Here is a snapshot of Allison and all her friends at her birthday party. We started out with bowling, pizza, and cake at Alpha Lanes. We then returned home to open gifts, sing karaoke, watch movies, do makeovers, fashion shows, and have a super-cool sleepover. Here is a picture of Allison opening gift with he friends Maggie, Emily, Brittany, Claire, Tayler, and Haley. (Can you imagine how late these girls kept Mom and Dad up?)

Happy 9th Birthday Allison!

February 1st sure rolled around quick this year, and along with it Allison Nicole's birthday! Here is a picture of her bright and early on the morning of her birthday. We have a tradition here of getting up really early on the morning of our birthday and getting pictures taken before Daddy leaves for work. Typically this would result in messy haired, groggy looking kids but at 9 Allison has this all figured out! She got up as soon as her alarm went off and got all dressed and beautiful, before Dad could find the camera! Here is a picture of her from that morning, what a special little 9 year old! (Maybe one of these days I will did up all 9 years with of birthday morning pictures and publish collection of them!)

Stayed tuned for Jacob's birthday morning pictures, his special day is only a couple weeks away!
