Happy Birthday Allie!

Happy 2nd Birthday to our sweet baby girl!

Allie we love you so much! You are the sweetest, funniest, most adorable diva-tastic 2 year old around! 

We had Allie's birthday party on Sunday and it was tons of fun! 

Waiting for our friends to arrive!

Allie's blonde friends

We had Little Wing Music come and play music and games with the kiddos. They did a great job and everyone loved it! 

With her blonde bookends

Besties

We got to try out the instruments and it was especially fun to bang the drums and play the keyboard!

Our favorite babysitter, Taylor, came to wish Allie a happy birthday too! 

Blowing out her candle!

Of course there were cupcakes, Miss Allie's most favorite! 

I think she's trying to clean her face but I can't be quite sure. 

After the party we had fun opening presents and Allie took the most amazing nap! 

What a fun day! Can I take a nap now?

On Allie's birthday we celebrated with more presents and with dinner out with her bestie Hailey and her sweet parents. 

We had such a great time celebrating such an amazing little girl! We love you, Allie!

Speedy September

September started with a sweet start to the new year with a lovely little family dinner and the family services for Rosh Hashanna. 

We're starting to get the hang of this back-to-school thing and September! We seem to love Kindergarten and being a Turtle at the ECP!

Part of our new routine is Soccer for Jake. They practice on Wednesday night and have games Saturday morning. After this last game, they want to up the practice time. Even though they lost miserably they were so stinking cute on the field. 

Jake's team, the Red Chimas, had their first game and well...more practice needed. But OMG were they cute!

Griffin & Jake post game. If only they could have scored 42 points. Or 4. Or 2. :)

Later that afternoon we headed out to Hailey's bouncy house birthday party! They were so cute and were attached at the hip the whole time!

Allie and Jake take a boat ride

In the totally disgusting pit. Do they make purell sanitizer showers?

Hailey and her sweet mom, Mollie, blow out the candle!

We got home to watch the end of the very exciting Georgia game where they beat South Carolina. We teach them young in our house!

Allie getting ready for Yom Kippur tot-services. She loves her necklace. I think we have a girly-girl here!

Jake enjoying the zipline at the Grossman's during the break-fast. 

As we were getting ready to leave, Allie walked right over to the lox and grabbed a big piece! That's MY girl! 

Allie's friend Addison had a fancy dress-up party for her birthday! Allie mostly loved wearing pretty shoes and having a dress like a ballerina. 

 

Jake's teacher has a kindergarten blog which is so wonderful because we get to have a little peek into his life at school. 

Meet the Flash and Super girl! We gave our Halloween costumes an early run (literally) with the Austin CASA Superhero Run. CASA is a wonderful organization that gives abused children a voice and support. We were happy to support the organization with this fun event.

Ready to race!

With Batgirl (aka Mia)

Superman gives Supergirl a ride!

Super Family!

Yom Kippur and Mother Nature kept the Red Chimas off the field for the last two weeks but we finally played our second game and WON or at least tied. They've definitely improved and it was much more fun to be able to see them score instead of just watching the other team! Jake scored 2 goals!

Cheering on his team during a break!

Snack time!

Allie and Peppa Pig cheer on the boys.

Max, Max and Allie cheer on the Chimas.

September sped by but we're excited for October when we get to celebrate Allie turning 2!
