Wow! I can hardly believe Allie is 2 years old already! Amazing how time has flown by. We celebrated her 2nd birthday with several firsts for the majority of our family. The biggest one is that we finished our first 5k race! Intel sponsored a family 5k/10k at the Hillsboro Stadium Complex.
The boys had swimming lessons in the morning at the Harewood Pool over at the old Jackson School House near our old neighborhood. Afterwards, we hurried over to the Intel campus for a tour bus ride to the stadium. Tyler called it an "airplane bus" because he was in awe over the nice seats, overhead storage and rear bathroom. It was fun to see the boys so amazed with their first luxury bus ride.
At the stadium, we lined up at the starting line and waited for our turn to take off. We had such a great time. We jogged a little, walked together and then Travis ran ahead with the boys as I followed behind with Allie sleeping in the stroller. My favorite part was walking hand-in-hand with my two boys in either side of me and Travis pushing Allie in front of us. That moment is frozen in my heart.
Allie and I crossed the finish line to the cheering of our biggest fans. What a wonderful birthday present for our sweet girl!
After a BBQ lunch, Allie tried her first snow cone. Of course she loved it! But to ride the bus again back to our car was the icing on her cake. She sure loves buses.
Since it was hot outside, we decided to go out for frozen yogurt instead of birthday cake at home. The kids loved their first visit to Twist. I think Allie loved the gummy bears on top best!
We swung by our new favorite Chinese restaurant, Joy Wok, on our way home.
Here are some cute things she does:
Sings "Happy Birthday to (fill-in-the-blank)" starting with family members and ending with happy birthday to the soccer ball and the backyard.
Points out the "Mommy" dog, "Allie" dog, etc., whenever she sees a mommy and a baby animal or human.
"Where Mommy go?" "Right here!". (Giggles). "Allie go?" "Right here!" (Giggles)
We love our sweet Allie!
