Happy 2nd Birthday Alice!!

I cannot believe Alice is two already! Alice's birthday was super fun. She started out the day with a birthday video chat with Grandma and Grandpa in Las Vegas.


Opening presents from Grandma and Grandpa and Auntie Carrie


Alice hanging out in her new wagon that Mommy and Daddy got her for her birthday

Alice's party started around 11:00. It was a low key party this year...just immediate family and the Turmans...but it was still lots of fun!

After lunch, Alice and Zach went for a dip in the pool

Sesame Street cake!

Alice loved opening presents! She is much improved from Christmas time. She made out like a bandit. Lots of new jewelry, a new Elmo doll, and lots of accessories for her new kitchen! She loves the kitchen, but we didn't get a good picture of her playing with it, so we'll save that for next time.




Zach! He did the necklaces himself, but Auntie Jaime may have helped with the bunny ears. :)

Quick Pic

It's been a while....here is a quick pic. Will try to do a full update next week, so stay tuned!

Many, many pics...

It's been a long time coming, so here's a ton of pics/captions to catch y'all up!


Alice splashing in the water at the Children's Museum. She could probably do this all day long.


Dancing around with a handful of other kids at the "Big Fun" portion of the Children's Museum.


A new favorite pastime: piggy-back rides with Daddy. She'll get up there, then demand, "Go Go Go!!"


Coloring Easter eggs.

Grandpa too!


Found a ball to play with.


I think she likes swimming.


Who wouldn't, with such a cute swimsuit?


"This is Ground Control to Major Alice..."


She's no longer afraid of her rocking horse! Yay!


Pants? Who needs pants?
