Age 3 1/2
Aleshia on our "measuring stick"
(her favorite quilt) at 42 months old.
"I like this pumpkin!"
"Where do I take it now?"
Too Big!
She thought she could roll this pumpkin around.
Pony Ride
Aleshia loves pony rides!
Dylan & Aleshia
These two friends have so much fun together!
New Hairdo
Aleshia asked for hair like Mommy's, so we got it cut short (not as short as Mommy's, though). She's modeling her babydolls' new diaper bag that Mommy made for her.
Playtime
Karin's 10 year college reunion came up while Steve was out of town, so Aleshia and Karin went to the family day and had lots of fun!
Butterflies
Mother and daughter enoyed
painted butterflies at festivities.
Just For Fun
Aleshia had been talking about
Mommy's Wedding Day for ages. She
calls it the day you are a Princess. She really
loved trying Karin's wedding dress on!
Halloween
Grandma Rose made Aleshia a dress just like
she wanted for Halloween. Maureen gave her
the wings for a butterfly costume.
Stained glass
Faux stained glass art Aleshia and Karin
made for an assortment of relatives
as Christmas gifts.
Leaves
Aleshia loved skipping through the leaves
and tossing them all around her!
Aleshia & Dylan
Aleshia was afraid of Santa, but she watched
her friend Dylan and his baby brother
sit on Santa's lap first.
Aleshia & Santa
We'll be going to see Santa
with Dylan EVERY year!
Aleshia & Isabelle
The Dress-Up Princesses enjoyed a morning of crafts and dress-up and playing together.
Dress Up
Another dress up outfit arrived from Miss Georgia and Aleshia had to try it on right away.
Aleshia & Grandpa Jim
We enjoyed a morning at the
San Diego Zoo with grandpa.
Thanksgiving Day
We like to go to the beach on Thanksgiving.
More Dress Up
Aleshia just loves playing dress up!
Family Holiday Portrait
Our idea of getting a portrait done with Frosty
was quite a bit different than the portrait studio's idea. We won't be doing that again...
Winter Wonderland
Aleshia loved playing in the manmade snow
at the Winter Wonderland Festival.
Holiday Party
Karin and Aleshia enjoyed the
playgroup holiday party with our friends.
"Look at the cookie I made!"
Aleshia and the other children had lots of fun decorating homemade sugar cookies.
Friends
Maria provided the fun activity for the kids
to decorate homemade sugar cookies.
O' Christmas Tree
The tree is up and decorated,
it must be Christmas time.
The Beach in December?
Yes! It was very warm for December 17th!
Sandman
It was so warm, we peeled clothing off the children and two moms helped them create a sandman and dress him in beach garb.
Dress Up Girl
Here she is again playing her favorite activity.
Merry Christmas!
Three generations celebrate Christmas
at the beach.
Merry Christmas From The Roses
We hopped in the car and picked up lunch at
the only place open and enjoyed a picnic
at the park where we got married 5 1/2 years
ago, which is right next to the big blue ocean.
Mini KU Cheerleader
Grandma Rose made Aleshia a cheerleading
outfit for Christmas. Daddy's favorite team!
Before
Five little hikers
After
Eight hikers with less clothing since it
got soooo hot! It was December 27!
