Nicer Weather

Maverick says that it's so nice out, he just might sing!

Uh oh....are there tears coming?

So close, you can almost smell the food on his face.

I'm experimenting with taking close up photos.

Harvey! Show us your belly button!

Rowan is spinning around.

Happy Dad got the slide out of the garage.

Now I'm experimenting with jumping pictures.

Jump Harvey!

Throwing the red ball.

Daddy's new gate - he built it himself!

Jelly Belly Day

Tuesday, March 30th

Grandma and Grandpa Allord took all the grandkids on a tour of the Jelly Belly facility. We started our day with lunch at The Chancery restaurant in Kenosha. The kids were measured because the cost of their lunch was their height. Rowan's meal was 43 cents and Harvey's meal was 36 cents.

Ursula didn't need to be measured.
She just nibbled off of other kids' plates.

Here we are in the tram that drove us around the warehouse. Everyone was given a paper hat to wear.

Here are all the grandkids next to a Jelly Belly VW Beetle. It was an actual working car that was just parked up by the gift shop door.

It was a fun trip and the kids all got a special treat from the gift shop afterward. Too bad part of Harvey's special treat was getting lost and meandering outside alone....scaring his mother half to death.

Thanks so much for the fun trip Grandma and Grandpa!

Happy Birthday Little Bear!

Happy 1st Birthday!
A year ago today, you came into our lives in the most amazing way. Just by being born you have transformed me. Every day I thank God for blessing us
with the gift that is you.

In one fast year, you have achieved so many milestones. Every day I am amazed at your abilities, your heart, your determination, and your sweetness.

I look forward to each day....to watch you grow and to give you hugs and kisses all along the way.

Ready to eat!

A little help to blow out the candle....

"mmmm...my very first cake!"

Not too messy, but just messy enough!

"Ooh, I got some new shoes and a necklace!"

"Don't even think about touching my new xylophone, mister."

A pretty new hat and girl scout cookies!

I bet I can ride this thing with my eyes closed!

"Yay! A fun activity table!"
