My Poor Ali!

Tuesday Ali had to get two teeth pulled. She was so brave, and was excited for the tooth fairy to come again, since she had already come twice. I think that she is feeling rich from the 4 dollars that she has accumulated over the last week. When she got home her poor face was so swollen, she could not really use the whole left side of her face.

These pictures are so funny, I know it is rude of me, but we were all dancing around and she was laughing her head off and this is the best that she could smile.

Emiy had to get in on the picture taking action.

Showing off some moves.

Oh my poor babe, we are laughing with you, not at you.

Disney on Ice 2009

Ali and I got to go to Disney on Ice today. It was probably one of the best ones we have seen yet. It was Princess Wishes. They did the story of each princes starting with Jasmine.

This was the Jeanie coming out of the bottle.


Prince Ali' getting off of the elephant. This was really cool. The elephant came walking in all cool with him on top of it. Then he climbed down the ladder and started skating.

They even actually had a flying carpet this year.

Next was The Little Mermaid. These were all the fish dancers.

Ursula taking Ariel's voice.

This picture is for my mother. Kind of an inside joke, but all could laugh as well. I used to tease her with a Little Mermaid book that I had and would push the button that made Ursula cackle on the book and walk around with it when she was telling me what to do.

Snow White was next. Ali loved this and sang along with all the songs.

"Don't eat the Apple." That is what all the kids were screaming during this part.

Sleeping Beauty.

Minnie and Mickey

The whole second half of the show was Cinderella, which was awesome because that is Ali's favorite. They covered just about every part of the story.

Cindy, Gus-Gus and the Fairy Godmother in the background.

Getting ready to turn the pumpkin into the carriage.

The royal carriage. Really blurry, but it was so cool.

Cinderella coming to the ball.

Cinderella and the Prince dancing at the ball.

The castle.

During the Grand Finale everyone came out and skated around like they were at the royal ball.

Waving goodbye to Cinderella.

The Fireworks at the Castle.

Tinkerbell and all the princesses doing their last dance.

Tink, who by the way Ali and Emily are loving these days.

Loosey Toothy!

Ali lost her first tooth last Friday. She was so excited and had been wiggling it like crazy trying to bust it loose. She was eating an apple when it popped out, then immediately after had to call Jake and Jaime to tell them about it. She has two teeth growing in already behind her two front bottom teeth, so Tuesday she has to go in and get three more teeth pulled out. Wish us luck that the medicine and laughing gas work well enough so that she lets the dentist do his work. Thank goodness Matt is taking her and not me.

Saturday

Here are just a few photos of the girls from Saturday. We have been so boring around here, that our best adventure of the day was going to Costco. We were planning on meeting the nans, but when we showed up we had on matching outfits. Kelly and Danielle, I know that you are laughing your heads off at this. We got the same shirt at Sam's and we forgot to ask each other what we were wearing that day. Needless to say, every time we do something together we will be chatting first. So we parted ways after a few funny glances from people in Costco and had a nice relaxing rest of the day. The girls loved watching it snow and kept begging me to go out and play in it, but it was just too cold.

My two love birds.

Ali is literally killing me with her poses. She poses everywhere, and every time I take her picture. I don't know how to day in a nice way to just smile nicely and bag the pose.

The Zoo

Last Saturday we went to the zoo. We have been so lucky that the weather is still so nice, we are going to have a rude awakening when winter finally does come.


The girls were so excited to see the cute baby elephant Zuri.

It was so funny to watch her, it was almost like she could not get up. She would scoot around in a circle like this for awhile, and then try and get up with her front legs. We even got to see her play with her ball. It will be fun to watch and see how fast she grows by the time we go again.

These cute cougars were just nestled up next to each other.

They looked so cute, but yet so scary.

The cute baby giraffe. We never got to see this one move, but she was really, really cute.

My cute little lion cubs.

I think that this is my favorite time of year to go to the zoo. It is not so hot, and the animals are actually up playing and doing things besides just sleeping.

This was our favorite animal of the day. It is some sort of fox, but it would follow the girls through the glass, and then get up really close to the window and just stare at them.

Crazy little apes. Ali thought that it was really cool that Emily was the same size as a

juvenile ape.

Ready to ride the train. When we first got on, the girls thought that they wanted to ride in the seat together, but before the train got going we had to change seats.

Our wild animals had a great time at the park at the zoo. They went up and down the snake slide a gazillion times, and Ali perfected her skills at the swinging monkey bars.
