Puffy cheetos and water guns... what more could you ask for?

At the baby shower that my friends recently had for me, my friend Esmy had set up a kiddy pool for the kids. They also had plenty of big puffy, curly cheetos and of course, water guns too. Everytime I looked at Alli she had cheetos in her hand as well as all over her face. She had a great time with all the other kids and couldn't have cared less about where I was at any given time. I guess a little socializing is good and I'm glad that she is starting to figure that out too! I thought this picture of her was just too cute not to share...

First boating experience

We took Alli out for her first boat ride over Mother's Day weekend. It took me a while to get the pics up b/c they are 35mm pics, so I had to finish the roll, get them developed, scan them etc. Anyway, finally they're on the blog! She had a great time on the boat and loved anytime we were actually moving accross the lake. I think she likes the wind through her hair and maybe she's a little bit of a thrill seeker. She did not like getting in the water however. I have to say I was with her on that one 'cause it was still quite cold at that point. Hopefully, this will be the first of many fun-filled family boating trips. Chili was even along for the ride. He however prefers the boat to be sitting still :-) He's not nearly as brave as our little Alli.

I think I could drive this thing, don't you daddy?

Gotta keep those sun hats on! Don't we all look cool :-)

Yeah, I have to say this is fun...

Give us another year or two and we'll have her in the tube behind the boat. Let's hope she thinks that's even more fun!

Alli & her cuz
