This would be Aubrey guarding her pacifier ... with good reason. 
All good parties go downhill toward the end ... dancing around without pants on! 
Thanks to Aunt Mo, Mallory sports a headband quite frequently ... keeps the hair out of her eyes!
Our strawberry patch is ready for picking! Okay, er...so what you see is what was available for picking. But a new handful ripens nearly every day now. Just enough for an afternoon snack! 
the words:
Mallory is excited to have another girl in the family!
Congrats to Jackie & Greg!
From old to new in the blink of an eye, right Dad?
Hello Skee Ball... (this place calls it Ice Ball??)
No, Momma, I'll show you how to get tickets.
Jill's cousins, Nicholas (2), Abby (4), and of course, Mallory
Okay, not only is there an incredibly large (and clean!!) arcade, this place has things for big kids and little kids (below). Not pictured is another huge bounce castle. It's just $4/kid for the structures as long as you want to play. The arcade, of course, is token city. Adults are free and are allowed to chase after the kiddos as necessary. Also not pictured is a large cafeteria with typical yumm-o foods: pizza, corn dogs, cheese nuggets (we are in WI), soft pretzels w/cheese (my snack of choice), ice cream, etc.
Abby loves babies!
What a great day!!

For those of you who wonder (people are always asking) how the dogs get along with Mallory or vice versa...
I love that Mallory managed to use her opposite hand to feed herself.
Oh, I should probably mention, this may have been Mallory's attempt to share with Claddagh since Claddagh unknowingly shared with Mallory recently. Yes, Mallory ate a piece of dog food yesterday. The verdict is out on whether she enjoyed it; her opinion was skewed by the fact that Casey had his hand in her mouth to get it out faster than she got it in. (And just an fyi ... despite the pictures and video, we are teaching her that the dogs' dishes are off limits...)
*Finley's pants, Mo
Suuuuure Mallory, stick your cute little hand in the slobbery, slimy, just plain NAS-TEE dog water bowl (...and then let's promptly wash your hands, that is disgusting, however funny it might be.)
Her hands are washed, but minutes later she was at it again.
"Can I have some?"
She really did grab a handful of food, but no, don't worry, none of it went in her mouth (though not for lack of trying...) Claddagh was completely unaffected by Mallory and had no problem finishing her dinner.
This was the look I got when I told her we needed to let Claddagh eat. Not the last time I'll see that face, I know that...
