I know it has been a long time since I have blogged so in this one blog, I am going to catch you up on our summer.
June 21st - Alyssa celebrated her 3rd birthday by having a party at our house. She invited her close friends and we played on the Slip N Slide, swam in the pool, played on the playground and even had a horse shoe game. It was so hot we crammed everyone in our basement to eat and have cake and presents. It was a lot of fun. On Sunday, her actual birthday/Father's Day we had the family over for cake and ice cream in honor of Alyssa and the Dads. It was a lot of fun but a crazy weekend. I made her cake again this year and it was a monkey cake. The overall theme was Curious George.
July 4th - My grandparents came from Arkansas to visit. They decided to wait and come after Alyssa's birthday so we could have time to actually visit. We went to the 4th of July Celebration at Trussville. It was alot of fun and the Fireworks were great!
July 12 - 18th - We decided this year to take Alyssa on a big vacation. We usually just go to the beach, but this year we decided she was old enough to go on a cruise. We went out of Miami and went to Turks and Caicos, Half Moon Cay and Nassau Bahamas. It was Alyssa's first time to fly on a plane or be on a boat. We had a blast and she did suprisingly well. We went to Atlantis and spent the day when we were in Nassau and really enjoyed that. Overall it was a great family vacation!
August 13th - Alyssa went back to school. She started 3K this year. It is so hard to believe she is three. Mrs. Kerri (one of my best friends) is her teacher this year.
Labor Day - We went for our final hoorah for the summer to Destin on Labor Day weekend. We met our friends Dennis and Tammy and their daughter Alaina and Sandra and her son Brent down there. We had a good time, but Alyssa was sick with a sinus infection. We had perfect weather and spent a lot of time on the beach. You will notice I have no beach pictures b/c I never took my camera to the beach. It was my last vacation and yes I was lazy!
Okay so we are now caught up from this summer and I promise I will be better about blogging now that I have time again. To see all the slide shows, be sure to scroll down and click on older posts at the bottom of this page. Til next time.......
