Look at this pretty girl!!!! She's growing up so much!! =]

So, about a week or two ago, I again had Aleecya. Since it was a nice day, I took Aleecya to a new park down the road from me. I had fun reliving my park days, and Aleecya had fun running around. Here, I'm just going to post some new pictures of Aleecya, some of the park, some from the house, and random places. Enjoy!!

Fair Warning!!!!

A family friend's horse stable "label"

As you can tell, Aleecya HATED the firetruck. NO idea why....

Me on the ride. See how I'm clutching the side? Ya, it was intense...

Me, happy as can be before the ride started...

The baby pig's. So cute. According to Aleecya, they "tink"

At the beginning of August, we had the opportunity to go to a little fair at a local park. This year, we brought my sister's friend, Brianne, and I had Aleecya for the day, so naturally she went along for the ride. This year, we were hoping that Aleecya would be tall enough to ride a ride. Come to find out, 1/4 of an inch too short is not ok. So, therefore she couldn't ride, and since I already had tickets, I went ahead and rode a ride. I had never really rode a ride at a fair before, until this month. So, that was a new experience for me. All-in-all, we all had a good time.

Utah '09!! Part 3

On this particular day, I was just watching the kids all day, so nothing too special. We basically just hung out around the house all day. At the end of the day, we went outside and played around. It was just a fun, relaxing day.

I don't really have a caption for this, but I just think that it's hilarious...

Lion, and Tigers, and Bears......OH MY!!

So, a week ago, I had Aleecya over. She came over early Sunday morning, and left REALLY late Monday night. On Monday, we decided to do something productive and go to the zoo. This would be Aleecya's 2nd time at the zoo. She loved it. We saw LOTS of animals, found out that the Baluga Whales are gone and replaced by some kind of seal things (LAME!!), learned that Aleecya is terrified of owls and all birds alike, rode the carousel 4 times (they were free), and we even managed to catch a show. All-in-all, we had a GREAT time!! (and yes, if you can see, Aleecya's hair is in a star. Thank you, I did that. =])

A cute picture that I just can't pass up....

Another cute picture that I just can't not post

Utah '09!! Part 2

On Day 4 in Utah, Alma, Bella, Oliver, and I went to temple square for a couple of hours. We had a lot of fun. We had the rare opportunity to go up to the 26th floor, out to the The Observation Deck, of the Office Building. That was a really neat experience to be able to see Utah from that high up. Then, we continued to go through the Museum of Church History and see as much as we could in 20 minutes. After that, we all went home and then me and Matti went to my cousin, Jeanette's, baby shower. Jeanette just had twin girls a few days ago, so her husband, Jeff's, family had a little bit of a shower for her. It was a good day. =] Here are some more pics! Enjoy!!

We went a little bit through the Church History Museum.

A really cool old piano.
