The Washington County Fair

Remember me?? and my girls?? Yeah Yeah I know it's been a long time since I last posted but mama's been busy making money to put in a new driveway. lol I know excuses, excuses.

We took the girls to the Washington County Fair yesterday and it was Allison's first time riding any rides and she absolutely LOVED it! I was afraid there wouldn't be anything she could ride since she is still little but there were 3 and she rode all 3 of them. She even rode one alone without her sister and she wasn't the least bit scared. We were very proud of her.

Here are some videos I took of Allison's rides....

Holly's Preschool Graduation

Holly graduated from Preschool and is off to Pre-K. Not that there is a BIG difference but it's still a step forward. She had a great teacher this year that we really loved and Holly enjoyed going to school everyday.

Here are a few pictures from Graduation. They sang a few songs too and it was adorable.

The teacher in the black and white dress is Ms. Jessalyn, Holly's teacher.

Allison's Party

Allison had a great time at her party. She wasn't sure of everyone at first but she enjoyed it once we got outside and there was room to run! She spent most her time in the sandbox. She loves the sandbox!

She really enjoyed having "Happy Birthday" sung to her this year. She didn't like it so much last year so I was happy to get some smiling pictures of her today. (Thanks Jodi for taking such GREAT pictures!)


Mama helped her blow out her candles. I'm sure this is the last year she'll need mama's help.

Allison snuck her finger into the frosting. She got that piece, no one else wanted it, I wonder why??

Happy Birthday Allison!!

My baby turns 2 today! I can't believe how fast the last 2 years have gone by. She's getting to be a very big girl and talking up a storm and getting into everything...........she's being a 2 year old.

Sisters

The girls are getting bigger and having trouble sharing at times, but not always. They do a good job keeping each other busy and really do love each other. When Allison and I pick up Holly from school, Allison gets giddy when we pull into the school parking lot. When Allison gets up from a nap Holly is so excited to go in and see her. They hug each other before bed and I love seeing that.

I haven't been able to catch a good picture of the two of them together in a while until today. I just love how this came out. This one will be going in a frame.

And the best part, they got their two best friends in the picture, Zebra and Beary.

Picnic in the Dining Room

The girls were playing and said they were going to have a picnic. Holly lost interest and found something else to do but only after helping her sister set the table. Allison then proceeded to have her picnic, with Zebra. It was absolutely adorable and I'm so glad I got a picture of it. She is going to love looking back at this someday.

The Dogs

While in Agawam over the weekend, we visited with Chris (hi Chris) and her dogs. She's got two great dogs who are so well trained (great job Chris!) and the girls absolutely LOVED them and they were so brave. We will get a dog someday (yes we will Steve) but not for a while yet. But it was nice to know the girls will do so well when that day comes.

Holly even feed the Jake a snack! She loved it!!
Allison had June with her, of course.

They were trying very hard to get the dogs attention. They were not bored for even a moment.
Steve had to guide Allison's hand while petting the dog because she was a little aggressive.
Holly did a great job. She loved petting them.

It was a nice visit and so good to see our friend. Thanks Chris for having us over.
