Turn into this......

Yep, our baby girl is now a one-year old!
Here are some highlights from Alli's big day.

Brotherly Love

Presents and cake.

Of course Chad pulled the lady bug right off

and immediately decapitated it.....with his mouth.

Chad wanted "candles" on his piece of cake so

we sang happy birthday to him as well.

Beautiful Mornings

Mary's always saying how the sunsets in Arizona are the best. Well, she's still right on that count. But we all agree that the sunrises in Nebraska are pretty darn amazing too.

Vala's Pumpkin Patch

We learned that the thing to do in Omaha this time of year is to go to Vala's Pumpkin Patch. There was quite a lot of things to do including watching pigs race, viewing a pumpkin launched from a canon (seriously LAUNCHED incredibly far), jumping on trampoline-like contraptions, and pedaling around a track on a bike/car. The place was also filled with anamatronic ghosts and ghouls and several kid friendly haunted houses. It was a beautiful fall day in Omaha, and we had a great time.
