BJM’s Photos

Bryan’s sister and her family came to Columbus this weekend. Ally and Avery had an absolute ball together! Ally is just figuring out how to drive her Mustang, so she was loving that Avery could drive her around.


AAaaahhhhh! uuhh. .Avery? You might want to look up! 🙂

WooHooooo!

Could these two BE any cuter?

Here they were singing songs together and giggling up a storm.

After playing outside for hours, they came in and got their PJs on. . .Avery passed down a box of clothes to Ally and a Blues Clues silky nightshirt was included. Ally was thrilled to wear it and they played until they both literally passed out. We say all the time how much we wish we all lived closer.

Up until recently, Ally’s drawings have consisted of pretty unrecognizable scribbles and the occasional shape. This week, she was drawing on her Magnadoodle and as I walked by, I noticed that her drawing has progressed a few steps! She told us who each person was but I can’t remember who was who. LOL!

I’m not sure if Tigger is feeling PRETTY or TORTURED?? LOL!

Ally was pretty proud of herself and I guess Tigger still looks happy, huh?
(and I wonder why I can never find her hair bows?)

This girl could swing ALL day!

Ally got a new big girl bike for her birthday. She tends to struggle with with trikes sometimes but the upright design of a big girl bike must put her at a good angle. She’s gotten a lot better with steering but you can see from these two pictures why she tends to occasionally crash into things or go off-road. . LOL! Look UP Ally! Oh yea. .and her pigtails were pretty stinkin’ cute today too 🙂

In traditional fashion, we went to OCLC for the festivities, games etc. that they put on then hung out with friends to watch the Dublin Fireworks. They were very impressive, even after just watching Red White and BOOM the evening before. We were closer to where they set them off so Ally got to experience the huge percussive booms. She was a little scared at first but then loved it.
Bryan’s cousin Mallory helped out with the obstacle course and convinced Nicholas to run through it together. They were halfway through it by the time I got there, but it was pretty hilarious. (Mallory won by the way) LOL!

We haven’t been downtown to Red White and BOOM in quite few years. This year we went downtown with the LaPoint’s and lots of other friends and family and watched them from the rooftop of Grange Ins. parking garage. We had tons of food and lots of time to visit before the show started. It was wonderful. Ally was sporting the cutest patriotic shirt ever and a matching hair bow that I made her. Nicholas had been gone for 3 weeks so Ally was his little buddy in a big way that night. . very cute. Wonderful time with wonderful friends and family.
