Alyssa's Room

I just finished Alyssa's room. No more baby boy room. I love the way it turned out. Everything is painted on. I drew the tree then painted it on. So fun. Now on to the rest of the house.

Jamaica

This has to be one of our best vacations! It was so relaxing and fun. Everything was so beautiful. And it was nice to leave the kids for a bit. They were in the excellent hands of Grandma, so we never had to worry. But they were so excited to have us back and to get their cute dresses we bought for them.

Piano

My new old piano. Isn't she pretty? It works fine for us.

Cute girl

This girl cracks me up. I love her singing.

First Birthday

Alyssa is 1!! She is such a cutie! Always trying to take off her headbands. She loves to climb on her chair and show off her balancing skills. She loves her sisters! And after her birthday cake, she loves cake too. We had Aunt Heather, Aunt Denise and cousin Kayla over to help us celebrate.

11 Months Old

Alyssa is almost one! She such a fun girl! Always on the go. She says uh-oh, hi, momma, and dad. She also shakes her head 'no'. She eats anything she can find. She also has 4 teeth and three more coming in. We sure love her!

3 yrs old

My big three year old. She comes with a big attitude but a lot of love and laughter. She is a daddy's girl. She loves her sisters so much, maybe too much. But she's so fun and cute!

Kitchen Countertops

We (I) couldn't stand the tile countertops anymore. So we upgraded to granite! And we absolutely love it! We got to pick the giant slab and layout and everything. So fun. We did the demo on the tile. Which was a huge mess but went better than we thought. Here are our before and after and progression shots. Now we just need to pick the tile for the backsplash and install it.

10 Months Old

Miss Alyssa is busy busy these days. She decided to start crawling and is into everything. Plus she pulls herself up and stands. She's going to be walking soon. She loves eating real foods. Her favorite is bananas and crackers. She also loves her bottles.

Cruising

Nothing like cruising down the aisles at you local home improvement store. It was the best trip. The kids were so well behaved. Wish all grocery stores had this cruiser cart.

Nine Months Old

Alyssa is such a busy girl these days. She loves toys and playing with her sisters. She is almost crawling. But that doesn't stop her, she gets around by scooting and sliding. She's such a fun girl. I love her hugs everyday.
