Alyssa just got back from spending a whole week with her Grandparents in Memphis. She had so much fun getting to spend time with her family since she only sees them a few times a year. She tried lots of new foods and learned some new words. Alyssa also discovered her new passion: singing. Here is a picture of Alyssa and Daddy at the Rainforest Cafe at Opry Mills.



We are so excited to have Alyssa back. We missed her very much while she was gone. Today we just spent the day together at home, some of which we spent outside blowing bubbles.




















Alyssa's 2nd birthday is coming up soon (July 14). We have decided on a Backyardigans themed pizza party at our house. It should be fun.

Well we finally decided to get a dog! He is an eight month old dauschand/iltalian greyhound named Bentley. He is very sweet but also very hyper. He is teething and so we have already had a few things go missing, but nothing of value or importance. Alyssa loves him very much. When it is time for Bentley to eat she will follow him around with handfuls of his food saying "eat doggy!" Here is a picture of Bentley and also a few of Alyssa playing in his cage that he stays in when we have to go somewhere.

The Pink Dress

Alyssa looked so cute today in her pink dress that I just had to take some pictures of it! Also, it was the first day she let me put a hairbow in and she didn't take it out!
