ALS Ice Water Bucket Challenge

Yes, we at the library got on the bandwagon, and participated in the ALS Ice Water Bucket Challenge.  As soon as I told Allison I was going to be going back to the library last night and why, she says, "Can I do it too?"   All the way home last night after doing it, "That was so AWESOME!  That was AWESOME!"

The Girls!

It's the best thing in the world to have a bestie....and this is Allison and her bestie, Carolyn.  Unfortunately (and perhaps fortunately) they do not go to the same school together, so sometimes it is hard for them to actually get together and see each other.  We tried to make more real efforts to get the girls together more over the summer, and all in all we were able to do a pretty good job of that.  The school year sometimes proves even more difficult, but we continue to try.   This picture was taken the day before school was to start, kind of a "last hurrah" so to speak.  We went bowling at Landoll Lanes, and then she came over to the house to play.   Notice the mustache sunglasses.  They are the "Mustache Girls" for sure!
 Allison gets her hair deep conditioned periodically, and am adding this pic because it makes me giggle.....

A Marysville Minute - June

Allison was invited to participate in the very first "Marysville Minute" that a group of locals involved with travel and tourism have gotten funded and are implementing.  From my understanding they have funding to do one of these each month for a year at this point.  Right now, the focus is social media, but who knows, if more funding becomes available they could some day be on television, etc. 

Allison is in the pink shirt with the cat on the front, and black shorts.  She is seen below sitting behind Pat, the lady in the white.  All of her scenes are at the Koester House.  You can see her pretty well in the scene where she is sitting on the Lions and there are other kids running by her.  You can even seen "ME" as I was inadvertently in range of the shot as I was sitting on a bench with Pat waiting for Allison to be completed.  It looks pretty natural however, like a couple of moms waiting for their kids.

9th Birthday and Last Soccer Games Weekend!

I am feeling like the world's worst mother!  October 12 was Allison's 9th Birthday, and we had 5 other girls over at the house that Friday night for a slumber party. I was actually very nervous...why I don't know, but it went very well.

Did I take any pictures that night or on Saturday of her birthday? Heck, no!  Geez...

I did however get this picture on Sunday afternoon after Allison's final soccer game of the season.  It was not, unfortunately, her shining example of good sport (she really didn't try very hard, and showed her passive-aggressive side), but I figure she was a) tired from a busy weekend, or b) preparing us for her upcoming adolescence!
