Birthdays, Birthdays, and more BIRTHDAYS!!!

Aleigha's birthday was October 6. Due to having so many people that were invited to her party we decided it would be best to have 2 parties. There were approximately 25 people at each one. Also because her real birthday fell on a Monday, we decided to have her parties on the Sunday before and the Sunday after her real bday. But of course we wanted to celebrate her real bday as well. So on Oct. 5th we had a birthday party at her Grandma and Grandpa Thornburgh's house. On Oct 6th, we celebrated her birthday at El' Ranchero's. And on Oct 12th, we had another party for her at Mountwood Park. All three turned out great. She had lots of family and friends that attended. She got lots of cool presents. And we played lots of fun games. Aleigha remained happy the whole length of all the celebrations. Other than a change of party place of the first party, everything ran smoothly. We had a great and memorable time.

Catching Up!

Wow...it seems like forever since I posted a blog. There have been so many cute pictures and videos that I have taken that I want to share with everyone. So in this blog I will be playing catch up. I will try to be selective in what I put on here, but I still know it will be alot. I hope you enjoy.

Grandma, Aleigha, and Daddy at church

Getting ready for bed

Our house is so cold...we got her thermal pjs, gloves, and a hat so she could wear around the house...she sleeps w/ the gloves on b/c she refuses to keep her hands under the covers.

So cute

She was so excited to see that she could make the scale work...16 lbs 6 oz. And 28 inches long-at a year old.

A BLAST FROM THE PAST!!!

This is her PREMIE jacket!!! Despite her face...she was loving it...she kept laughing and wouldn't let me take it off of her!

It's the INCREDIBLE HULK!!!!

I'm coming to get you!!! You better run!!

Aleigha and Daddy

Don't bother me...I'm on the phones.

This pic is from Aleigha's Fall photo shoot (there are a few pics in btwn...but the ones in this outfit is her "shoot pics")

Yes, you are looking at this pic right...she was hiding...
she would stick the tip of the pen in the hole of the
diaper rash tube...and then eat it!!!
Then she was "surprised" when we caught her!

One of her many new looks

She likes to find seats...this time it was her wipes

Back to her photo shoot...for the longest time she wouldn't look at me...
I kept telling her to look, so finally she got "up close and personal"

I absolutely love this picture

Another one of my absolute favorites

Aleigha and Layla

Alli, Aleigha, and Sarah

Trying to get in the dog cage...she was saying...
"Dad, you can't sell those puppies...or else you'll have to
sell me first!"

Aleigha being silly...she insisted that her pants needed to be on her head

She still does her "Act Surprise" face on command
