Cricket's first Soccer Game!

This past Saturday Alli and me went to my nephew Andy's soccer game. The weather was so pretty we had to be outside! Cricket loved watching her cousin play, maybe she will be a soccer player??? After the game we had lunch to celebrate the win (this is the first time his team won)!!!

Dinner with Friends

Now that Cricket is older we have been taking her out more. Last week Alli and I had a girls night out with some of my awesome friends! It was so much fun and she was so good! My friend Lindsay also brought her daughter Kinley, who will be a year old this month.  It was fun to see how different 9 months is. Right now I just have to make sure I have a bottle for Alli- that's easy. Lindsay had a bag full of goodies for Kinley!  It was so great to catch up with the girls!

Then last weekend Scott, Me and Alli went to dinner with Uncle Jim, our friends Jeff and Katy and a couple of their friends. Once again Cricket was so good! We had a great time!

Uncle Brad Comes Home!!!

Uncle Brad came home from Iraq on Saturday and got to meet Allison for the first time.  He's home for 2 weeks before he has to go back. We are all so proud of all that he is doing in Iraq! Below are some pictures of Brad in Iraq and of his first visit with Cricket.

More Pictures and Videos

Here are some pictures from the past couple of days.  We always have the camera with us because she is starting to do so many new things.  I think that she thinks that the camera is part of the family - we always have it around.  I was looking at the camera and we've officially taken over 1500 pictures since she was born a little over 3 months ago.  We just don't want to miss anything.  :-)

Also, there are some videos of her at the bottom of her trying to talk and holding her head up when she's on her tummy.  We hope you enjoy!
