An update on Allie
by Kerrie on May.11, 2009, under Uncategorized
Allie has had a lot of big events recently. She had her preschool graduation party, a dance recital and her 4th birthday.
The preschool graduation was held at a park. They played, painted their hand prints on t-shirts, ate pizza, took pictures and were given preschool certificates. I’m a little sad that it’s over. Allie loved preschool! Hopefully I’ll figure out something for her to do in the fall.
She also took a dance class. It ended a week ago with a darling recital. Allie was a little excited at the beginning and didn’t stay in her spot. She knew the dance well because we practiced at home but I think it was a little overwhelming to be on a stage in front of an audience…she was too distracted. But she was still so darn cute out there along with all the other 3 year olds.
Allie’s birthday was last Friday. She turned 4 years old. She wanted a purple princess Allie cake; so that’s what I made for her. Her party was at a place called Jumpin’ Beans. Twelve kids jumped their hearts out at this inflatable fun place. We played a quick game of stick the kiss on the frog and then sang and ate cake. Allie was so happy that most of her friends could make it to the party. She had a wonderful time! Now she’s on to planning her 5th birthday party.
Jake and I are doing well. Jake’s busy working on a dissertation and I’m trying to run the home. I was called back into the Primary as a CTR 6 teacher. I really enjoy teaching primary! Luke has taken five steps and is getting more brave every day.
We’ve got some more events coming up: Luke’s first birthday is on the 22nd, my mom and Dave are coming to visit next week and we’re packing up and moving to a bigger and better apartment in a few weeks. We’ll send out our new contact information the week of our move.

That cake is amazing. There is no way you made that!! Did it taste good? What a fun few weeks Allie has had. And that picture of her in her princess dress and crown looks exactly like you at that age. Check out your baby book, I am not kidding. Looking forward to our visit and Lukie’s first birthday. Love ya

Happy Birthday Allie! Kerrie, you have major photo skills! Those shots of Allie are precious. I also love the cake! Diego told me yesterday that he wants a Millennium Falcon cake for his birthday. Today he said he wants a Storm Trooper cake. I was hoping for a light saber, that would be much easier. Super cute family photo too. Congrats on the bigger apartment. I hope the move goes well.

My goodness…I cannot believe that Allie is 4 and Luke is almost 1. Amazing how quickly time goes by. I love that you are moving to a bigger place. I keep hinting things like this to Eean, but I am pretty sure we are going to stay where we are until he is finished.
SO fun to see what you are up to. We love your little family.

I can’t believe Allie is four! It seems like just yesterday we were doing the same things with Hailey. You are very talented at throwing cute parties and making cute cakes, not to mention photography. What a fun mommy your kids have. By the way, Hailey has the matching birthday outfit from Mom (I think Sisi may have it too.) We should get a picture of them all in it together (August??)
