Then we went to the MALL... She was so excited! She'd never been to the Mall. That's right... I try to keep her away from the same places that I try to keep her mother from. So I took her to the See's (candy) store and we bought a whole bag of chocolates... After eating maybe half of one, she was done. Like I said...Not much of an eater. Apparently, the rest of the $10 bag was for me.
While we were there, Jaime called and sent me on a shoe hunt. There was a particular pair of shoes that Allie's cousin had that Allie absolutely loved, and Jaime sent me on a quest to find them. Long story short, they had been discontinued and Allie was crushed. So I told her that she could choose any pair of shoes in the "entire Mall." For those of you who know me... I've been trying to turn Allie into a tomboy from the day she was born. I always been convinced that it was dependant on how you were raised...well to this day (with Allie) I have been proven wrong. Allie is Pink and Purple through and through. I of course was trying to get her to choose some nice nike sneakers or comfortable long lasting athletic shoe, at least one with shoestrings. You know something that she can run, or play ball or sports in. "NO DADDY! I WANT THE PINK SHOES WITH THE PRETTY FLOWERS AND WHITE POLKA-DOTS."
I give up...

What a great story! I just love the Daddy daughter bonding time... so sweet! It is great that kids idea of buying anything or going anywhere ends in pink canvas shoes and IHOP! One day you won't be so lucky! She's a cute girly girl!
I couldn't stop laughing!! I love your little girl! And you know what - I was a MAJOR tomyboy, all my life, didn't touch pink/purple or make-up for years. My girl - she's ALL girl. She grabs the bright pinks, purples and LOVES patterns - she's only months old... Oh well. Maybe you'll get the tomboy with Riley ;) Don't give up Brent, she may still play "sports" - like dance... ;)
Those shoes are adorable! Ummm... where did you get them?
hey jamie and family! It was great to hear from you! Allie's shoes are adorable. she picked a great choice! It looks like you all have a lot of fun! You have such a cute family!
Oh how wonderful! What a fun date. I'm sorry the shoes were not there, I've been searching online for a month just in case they came up, but it looks like you found some super cute ones anyway, now Ella will be begging me to find those one's at "the mall". Pink and Purple through and through....
That's my kind of girl! Sounds like a fun date :)
How fun! Jerry loves his dates with Kaylee. I am glad she got that time with you! Its nice to get a little pink and purple every once in a while!
I love the shoes, they are so adorable! They look like shoes i would pick! I love that Allie is such a girly girl :)
Okay, Brent....you have finally melted your mother's heart!! What a great daddy you are to take Allie on the date of her dreams! (Expense-wise, it was the date of your dreams, too.) And now you know the secret of becoming a hero in your daughter's eyes...it's doing the little things that mean so much to HER! Love you so much, Mom
What a sweet thing to do with Allie!! Especially to take her shopping. That definately qualifies you for "Daddy of the year"!
