Alyssa turns 4

Not too long ago, our little girl turned 4!   We had a pirate themed birthday party (her request) and had a bunch of her pals from daycare and her cousins over to celebrate.

Symphony on the Prairie

The same day we went to the Purdue game, we also went to Symphony on the Prairie to enjoy a wonderful evening.   The kids had fun dancing to the music and eating a picnic dinner outside.

Go Boilers!

A few shots from the Purdue game that we went to earlier this fall.  The kids had a great time - they loved tailgating, watching the cheerleaders and the band.   Alyssa didn't think that the game was as fun, but Tyler had a good time following the ball and pointing to the players who were holding it.

Yes, Baby Ralph made the trip with us too...

Alyssa's turn at the camera

Alyssa is starting to become our official family photographer, and does a pretty good job!  A few shots from her gallery...

   

Gram's Birthday

We had a lot of fun celebrating Grams' birthday this year with Grams...

 

And with the whole family...

Fun on the Rides

No trip to the fair is complete without a few carni rides.   The kids especially enjoyed a truck ride that made them feel like they were driving their own big rig.

And then, of course, the carousel is always a hit too.

Choo-choo...

Ok, Ok.  I'm slacking again with adding pictures to the blog.   I'll try to play a little catchup here...

Last month we went to the State Fair and rode the Fair Train.   The kids had fun riding on the big train and watching everything go by.
