Bubble fun :)

Ola!

The weather has been so nice lately and we have enjoyed it. Mimi visited this past weekend and gave Allie a few gifts, one was a bubble gun :). Allison could not wait to play with it so Monday night we took her outside to have some bubble fun. Thank you Mimi, she loves them :).

Girl's night out.

Last weekend Allison and Mommy had a girl's night out with her two best friends and their mothers, Taylor and mother Raquel and Madelyn and mother Barbara. We went downtown to eat at Sasons Bistro (Japanese) and the girls all used chop sticks. It was a fun but stressful dinner. All of the girls wanted to use the restroom at the same time, we had to keep their napkins over their clothes to prevent the food getting on them, keeping their chairs pushed in and reminding them to use their inside voice. Three, three year old girls, yes it was a fun time.

After dinner, we went over to the Civic Center to watch the Cinderella Ballet. Allison loved it and so did her firends. Their eyes were all glued to the stage the entire time. It was a nice ballet and a great night for the girls.

Here are a few pictures that we took, enjoy :). We were not allowed to take pictures of the ballet, but you can go to this link below to get the story of the ballet along with pictures: http://www.columbiacityballet.com/season_events/cinderella/

3/16 Love, love, love!

Today is a very special day. :)

Two years and a couple of weeks ago from today, Austin said, "Let's just go get married" and of course we picked the 16th of that month, March to say I do. The 16th is so ironic and special because Austin was born on September 16, I was born on February 16, we started dating on October 16, Austin proposed on June 16th and now our marriage date is March 16th. Pretty lucky number if you ask me! So .. Happy Anniversary to you Austin, my best friend, husband and great father to our daughter. I cannot begin to explain the amount of joy you have brought into my world (even when we have our down times). I love you more today then I did when we first started dating and hope that our love grows for one another through the next 80 years of our lives together.

With love,

Ola!

Good morning or afternoon, whatever time fits at the time you are reading this :). I am starting a blog to keep our family in the loop with our little family happenings ( you know, the old timey ones that don't have facebook .. yes those ;) ). We still love you guys! This is also for those family members that we hardly get to see due to distance! Here is a start ..

I met Austin in highschool, spanish class to be exact --hince the title --He was a cutie. Austin asked me to go to the Seafood Festival with him and some friends one weekend. You could say this was our first date. He wrapped his arms around me and asked me to "go out" with him and of course I said yes. October 16, 2004, we started dating.

4 hour conversations, road trips, dinner and movie, dates after dates, passing notes in the hallway, hanging out at the Bickley's after school, graduation, getting an apartment together, college and then came a surprise ...

March 14, 2007 we found out we were expecting a little one. Gasp, was the first reaction -- then tears -- then how do I tell everyone? It all turned out ok -- Austin was at every doctors appoitment and stood beside me every step of the way. The first few ultrasounds we had, they could not determine the sex because our baby was being stubborn and had its legs crossed everytime. We took a trip down to Florida to have a 3D ultrasound and it was a GIRL. Allison Leigh Bouton (still stubborn, by the way). She was due on Halloween but of course she was stubborn and decided to come a week later, November 7, 2007 8:52 p.m 8lbs 1oz, and our entire world has changed since that date. She is now three years old and full of personality.

Austin proposed on June 16, 2007 in Forsyth Park, Savannah, Georgia with a poem he made. We started to plan a big wedding and Austin said one day "Let's just go married at the courthouse." .. So we went to a friend's office that is a local attorney in town but also a Judge, and we said I DO :) (We'll just have a wedding later).

Austin is a Sales Rep for ARS. He loves his job and does great at it. I'm a Paralegal at Hart & Associates Law Firm (only the best firm in town) and I love my job and work with great people. There's a little fill in. I hope you all enjoy our posts and pictures.

With Love,

The Bouton's :)
