Alyssa loved Easter this year! Saturday night we put fake grass in her basket and left it on the kitchen table so that the Easter bunny could come after she went to sleep and leave her goodies. Sunday morning she woke up and the first thing she said was "I'm awake mommy, is the Easter bunny awake?"

We went to the park and took some pictures in our Easter clothes then has breakfast at Cracker Barrel. After that we had Briana and her family over, plus my mom and my friend Misty and her family to hunt eggs and eat dinner with us. It was a lot of fun. Now for the pictures!

Last night we went to color Easter eggs with Lilly and Casey. Just wanted to share our pictures from that. Be back tomorrow with Easter egg hunting pictures.

Well we finally got a pet we could handle: a beta fish! Alyssa just loves him. We asked her what we should name him and she said "Red." So, we'd like everyone to meet Red...

We've got some exciting news going on here. In the next few months Alex's boss will be leaving their store to become a regional manager. That means that Alex will be up for either the assistant manager or manager position. It just depends whether the current assistant manager wants to apply for manager or not. Either way Alex has a HUGE promotion coming up soon and we are VERY excited.

Alyssa had her pics made at Olan Mills a couple of weeks ago and we just got those back. I scanned them so I could post them on here, but if anyone wants the originals mailed to you to frame or what have you then just email me your mailing address.

















I started my new job last Monday. I am constantly busy with a project there. I LOVE it. The company is full of people who are extremely nice and they all treat you like an adult (versus my other job, where they didn't). I am really enjoying it so far! And just for fun, here are a few more random pictures of Alyssa and baby Hayden...















(Alyssa fell asleep holding Hayden's bottle. Don't worry, Alyssa doesn't take bottles still.)

Well I (Amy) got a new job. The other job was getting old, what with the boss who hated me and always gave me such a hard time. So Monday I start my new job at National Seating and Mobility. It seems like a really great place to work. Plus they will be starting me out only 50 cents less than what I was making at my other job. It's been fun staying home with Alyssa the last couple of weeks and I wish I could do that full time, just not possible right now.

We went to a big inflatable playground called "Buddy Bears Playhouse" with Alyssa's best friend Blake and it was a lot of fun. We're thinking of renting it for Alyssa's next birthday. It's between that and the Chattanooga Zoo.
