Oh my goodness!!! Time is flying. Alyssa is now our big 2 year old! She is talking and singing and dancing like CRAZY! She keeps us busy, that is FOR SURE! Now, we have another little girl on the way, and we often wonder what we were thinking adding another one to the mix. Alyssa is great, don't get me wrong, but she is a handful. We are always running with her, and never slow down. She doesn't stop until we MAKE her stop, and even then, it can be a challenge. She is as adventurous as they come and will try just about anything without fear. Since I've once again waited forever to update, there will be lots of pics from winter up to a couple of days ago including Alyssa's Birthday.

Here she is loving the snow!!

Alyssa with cousins Kyri and Graysen. We are so glad we live close enough that we get to play with them every once in awhile.

Here is a great picture of Mauri and 2 of her kids, just days before little Tanzi was born. Seriously!!! like 3 days before!

Oh how she LOVES smoothies! Delicious!

BUT, I'm pretty sure she loved her birthday cake and ice cream even more!!

I am not the craftiest person around, so I was pretty proud of myself for making this cute birthday cake. Alyssa LOVED it. I guess that's really all that matters!

What a goof!! Wearing dad's safety goggles! Jason would say she just looks like her nerdy mom with her glasses on! :)

So, as you know, this past weekend was the 4th of July. Alyssa LOVED all the fireworks. She was running around yelling "BOOM" all Friday night. (which is when Logan did their fireworks). Then, we went over to Bear Lake on the 4th where she had the time of her life. First of all, she LOVES going to Grandma ReNee's restaraunt to eat. Grilled cheese are her favorite, plus the ice cream of course. Then her Papa and dad decided to go drive the go-carts, and Alyssa got to go along for the ride. She absolutely loved that. Then we went to the parade in Paris ID. I think she was a little overwhelmed at first. She just stood there and stared as the floats (if you can call them that) threw candy. Once she figured it out though, she was running and picking up all the candy she could. Then, we went to North Beach where she played in the water and the sand. What a fun weekend!!!

Here she is getting strapped into the go-cart! How exciting!!!

There they all are! Ready to roll!!

If Brent's face is any indication of how much fun they were having, Alyssa must have been having a ball. Too bad you can't see her face over the steering wheel!

It wasn't the warmest day at the lake, but that didn't stop her from getting all wet, and playing in the sand to her heart's content! She can't wait to play at the lake with all of her cousins!!!
