Memorial Day fun!!

Alyssa and I spent the weekend at my parent's for Memorial Day.  Mark was still in Florida on a dive trip, so we headed out for some fun.  Alyssa couldn't wait to get into the pool...she even helped Granddaddy clean all the "buggies" out of the pool.  We also celebrated Destiny's 12th birthday with a pool party..what else..ha ha! 

Ready to get into the pool!

Splashing is so much fun.

Hanging out with Nana!

Aunt Shelly loves to tickle Alyssa...

and throw her up in the air.  It looks like Alyssa likes it too!

Big girl bed!!

We had an interesting night on evening when putting Alyssa to bed.  She cried as usual when we put her down in her crib, but after a few minutes it got quiet.  We thought that she must have decided to go on to sleep.  However, she suddenly appeared in the living room looking at us like we were the meanest parents ever for leaving her in there by herself.  She crawled out of the crib a few more times, so we made the transition to a big girl bed.  She even helped her daddy put the bed together...she is such a good little helper!!  Now...our only problem is keeping her in bed.  She likes to wake up midways through the night and come to our room and get in our bed! 

Cheese, Mom!!

This goes here...see!!

Almost done with the bed...

Testing out the jump factor!

Perfect!!!

Mother's Day weekend

Mark usually ends up going out of town for work every year on Mother's Day.  This year, he actually left the weekend after, so we got to spend the weekend with his Mom for the first time in several years.  We went up to Huntsville to see them.  Alyssa loves to be outside, and they have a big yard for her to play in.  She also found out how much fun it was to ride PawPaw's 4-wheeler.  She kept telling us to "go faster!!"

Alyssa being silly on the playground.  One of her new favorite things is to make funny faces!
