Go Mariners!

Well, it happened a few months ago, but I figured, better late than never. :) Shortly after coming back to Washington, we went to a Mariners game! We found some really cheap great tickets and decided that it was cheaper to go to a game than it is to go to a movie, so why not? We invited my parents to come along, and we all had a great time. Aliyah did great, was awake and happy through the first couple innings, and then after a short bout of walking, she slept through the rest of the game. And they even gave her a certificate for her first game! (Everyone loved her.) We played the Oakland Athletics and we won! Woo hoo! First sporting event, success.

A is for Adorable

We finally got pictures taken of Aliyah! Unfortunately she was super tired, so we didn't get any smiley pictures out of her, but we still got some good ones. Thank you Trina Mitchell! As a side-note, I made all the clothes/props: dress, tutu, hats, shoes, hammock. It was kind of fun. I'm trying to develop my domestic talents. :) Here are some of my favorites!

Rodeo

About a month ago we went to the Semi-annual Roy Pioneer Rodeo. That's right, the little town I grew up in has a rodeo. And not only does it have a rodeo, but it has one twice a year. So you would think that I would be a rodeo aficionado by now, but no, until a month ago, I had never been. So, Steve, Aliyah, and I met up with my parents and headed out to the rodeo. It was actually very entertaining, complete with bucking broncos, wild-cow milking, steer roping, barrel racing, and bull riding. And let's not forget one of my favorite parts, the rodeo clown. Apparently it's been the same guy for like twenty years. We really did have a lot of fun and may have to make it a more regular outing in Aliyah's childhood.

The Laugh!!

Aliyah just started laughing within the past couple weeks and I love it! She seems to find the hiccups particularly funny. Her laugh is so much better in person, and it's hard to catch the best laughs on video because I'm too busy laughing at her. So this is just a small taste of how cute she is! :) It get's better in the middle of the video, so keep watching!
