One Year Old

WOW! I can't believe that we know have a one year old in our home! Where did the time go! The day started of with a smile and a chance to wake up big sister Dusty and have her wish Alyse a Happy Birthday! We opened one present bbefore church since we knew Nana got us a fun Birthday dress. Believe it or not she tore into it and then had fun taking items out of the box.We celebrated her birthday at home since it was wet and cold outside. It was the best Mother's Day present ever!! Alyse got a slide on her birthday but we gave it to her a day early since we knew the chances of playing on it on her day were slim.She had a great time opening her presents and playing with them! Thanks everyone!

The Great Outdoors

Someone has discovered that she is in love with the great outdoors! Phew! It is a good thing since her mom and dad love being outside and involved in many activites that involve the great outdoors. Besides just being in the outdoors she has enjoyed taste testing the outdoors (dirt, sticks, leaves and all).

Easter

I know we are a little behind in posting about Easter! It was great spending the day with Aunt Amy and the new adventures of Alyse. She loved having an Easter basket with her very own Easter bunny (not live, thankfully) , bubbles and she really liked emptying her basket. She enjoyed finding the eggs that the Easter bunny hid around the living room and got a kick out of shaking them! Who would have thought that would entertain her for such a long time! It was fun dressing her up in a pretty dress but the hair bow didn't last too long (ok by me). I had nursery duty and thankfully Amy was able to help out! The day included a very yummy lunch (thanks Nana), a puppy visit (yeah Ruby), watching basketball, walking around the neighborhood and just spending quality family time!
