Already a Gopher fan

It's too late, Rob has already turned her into a Gopher fan. It is Rob's consolation prize after NDSU beat the Gophers at the dome this past weekend. Alley stayed at home with Liz, Dan and played with Megan and Breanna. All her grandparents and Rob and I went to the game. It was an action packed game with the lead going back and forth, but ended 27 to 21 Bison over the Gophers.

Wii Bowling

This weekend as Alley's extended family was here for Claire's baptism and the big game - they got a few games of Wii bowling in. Alley cheered them on from the coach while snacking on raisins. Her Dad wasn't on his game the first game as Breanna, his niece,won and even his mother, Helen, beat him. But as he will quickly point out he won the second game easily.

Rob looks concerned as Alley already has her eyes on a boy.

ERIK OVER TO PLAY.

Erik came over to play on Friday night. While his parents were away he learned how to spin from Alley:

After spinning Erik and Alley got into a little tift over one of Alley's toy purses:

Finailly, we tried (it did not work that well) to calm down with some book reading:

Alley's weekend

Besides picking pumpkins, we went to a neighborhood get together where Alley tackled the slides. She is surprisingly pretty fearless when is comes to the slides at least.

She also hung out with her little sister. We mostly try to protect Claire from Alley's overexcitement, as she gives her "high and low fives" a little too hard.

Pumpkin Patch

Alley and Mason (her second cousin or first cousin once removed - I'm not sure) picked out pumpkins this weekend. Alley has a funny look on her face, because just before this picture was taken, Mason hugged her and then pushed her down. She is already having boy troubles.
