So, it has been a very long time since I've updated our blog. Alyssa is now almost 18 months old, and has grown SO much. She talks SO much too. It is fun to see her develop and grow. She loves to sing and dance and run... and boy can she run. It is hard for me to keep up with her sometimes! She is a little spitfire, but we just love her to pieces. So, since I waited so long to update, the majority of this blog is pictures.

Here is our angel enjoying the grass.

Alyssa loves to splash in the tub. Not too sure her older cousins, are enjoying it as much!



I was hoping Grandpa would let me drive his motorhome.



I guess I'll have to stick to the toy cars for now.




Too bad my mom isn't this happy when she wakes up.



If I can put it on my head, it's a hat!

I must have inhereted my mom's crazy hair.

Snuggling with mom.

Looking somber.



All smiles with my cute pigtails.

Alyssa LOVES salsa!!! Here she is with Aunt Andrea eating it like soup.

A highlight of the year for me was attending a Time-Out for Women Conference this September with my sister Mauri and our mom.



Aren't sisters great?!?!



Mom and Mauri at TOFW.




I love Sheri Dew

As sweet as Alyssa is, she can also cause alot of trouble in a short amount of time. Here she is after dumping out an entire box of cereal. At least it kept her happy for awhile!

Daddy is still trying to wake up! AND it looks like Alyssa just did wake up. Nice bed head!

Nice smile!
