Ally's Last Hoorah as a One-Year-Old

So, Ally turned 2 on July 22nd, which means that she can no longer fly free as a lap baby!

Hence, I felt the need to take her on a trip right before her birthday. :) Ally and I went to visit David's family in Colorado. We stayed with his sister, Kris, who invited us a couple months back (since Ally and I had to miss the family reunion--everyone wanted to see her!).

Ally had a blast with her cousins, and totally fit right in with the fam--even calling Kris and Sam "mommy" and "daddy" by the end of it. We got to visit quite a bit with David's parents as well, and even got to see their beautiful new home in Parker. Ally was very well behaved for most of the trip, especially considering she usually doesn't sleep well out of her own crib. She had a difficult time on the plane ride out there, but was an angel on the way home.Maybe she could sense how tired I was and decided to give Mom a break!

Anywho, here are some pics of the trip. :)

So beautiful.

Our goofy girl.


OK, terrible picture of me, but it's one of about three pics of the two of us together on this trip! What can I say, it's all about Ally!

Sue, Kris and I went to the Molly Brown house in Denver while Scott and Sam took the kiddos to the zoo. Good times for all!

My oldest nephew :)

Playing with the boys!

I have more pics to post--Ally's Aunt Kristina made her a too-sweet-for-words birthday cake shaped like a penguin! And Ally had about 4 different birthday parties during the week of the 22nd. Will post soon!
