Happy Birthday to Me!

It's my birthday...I don't like my birthday, it just means I'm getting old and getting closer and closer to being completely grey. But to cheer myself up I decided to post some cute pictures of myself. Most of my pictures are in storage, but I found a few gems here in mom's house...I especially love the one's with my grandmas! And Julie and Aly are lucky enough to also be featured :)

Aly holding me in our backyard in Pleasant Grove

Grandma "Pete" my mom's mom and me, also in Pleasant Grove.

We still have those chairs!

My dad's mom, Grandma Allen, my sister Julie and me. I got that coat for Christmas and literally wouldn't take it off. I think I even slept in the thing. Can you blame me? It's pretty fabulous, although not quite as fabulous as Grandma's, hers is awesome.

Me and Aly with our morning soda...? This picture cracks me up.

My hair is awesome and we both have crooked little smiles going on. :)

Although our taste in drinks has drastically improved.

We are getting ready to head out to the zoo...the weather looks like it is going to be perfect, and we get to see some baby animals! Woot! I will actually have some more pictures to update the blog!

Preschool Graduation

Mallina graduated from preschool! Again :) They had a program for us to go to tonight where all of the kids sang songs and recited some poems. They were all adorable in their little graduation hats. Vama decided Mallina needed a new outfit so I finally went into this new store in the mall called Crazy 8. It's affiliated with Gymboree, but not as expensive, and they have WAY cute stuff. I should have NEVER gone in there. Here are some shots from the night, I actually got some cute ones of Mallina without her goofy modeling poses :) And just in case you are sad you missed it, yes, we did record it.

The Graduate

The Family (Eva got new threads too...she picked that one out herself!)

This picture made me realize that I REALLY need to color my hair. I'm just glad the grey isn't too noticeable. And if any of you disagree on the grey part, I will disown you.

And the rest are of the program (and I realize there may be too many. If it's too much cuteness for you, refrain from looking.) Mallina had this weird look on her face the whole time, kind of like she was nervous or wanted to throw up. I asked her about it later and she said "I just had a waiting feeling until everyone else was ready." With the personality that she has, I really am surprised at how she acts in a group setting like this, she is so not a ham! I think Eva will eventually adopt that role.

I thought it was funny that her hat curled up like this, like the roof of a Japanese house, and her good old elf ears that she inherited from me were in the spotlight :)
