ALYSE TURNS 3!

Alyse is 3!! I can't believe it! It seems like she should be about 1, yet I can't remember life without her! She is such an amazing little girl! Smart and always learning, yet so loving and compassionate too! She tells me "I Love You SOO much" all the time. Our family feels complete with her! She has been potty trained for over 6 months (Great accomplishment!) and is starting to crawl in the car by herself, so I am close to be phased out in the needed department! No not really, but compare to a year ago, she seems really independent!

Early morning presents! She was so excited to get the mini van from the Loving Family from Fisher Price.

For her "party" she took her two cousins that are her age, Abrie, and Haydn to Kangaroo Zoo for some fun times! They loved it! It was awesome!

Even Janet and Lincoln joined in the fun!

Then she got to have cake (made by Kierra) at Grandma Gloria's a couple days after her b-day.

And MORE presents! She LOVES this doctor kit! Maybe we have a little MD on our hands :)

Cruise to Mexican Riviera, January 31-February 7, 2010

New Years Eve

Alyse was the only one home with us on New Years! Kierra went with friends, and Dalton went with Dena's family to a party, so it was just Kim, Alyse, and I!

This was Alyse and I toasting the New Year! She loves fancy glasses!

Christmas Morning

Christmas Breakfast

The Day Christmas Eve (Eve) Party 2009

On December 23rd we went to the traditional Day Christmas Party at Kim's mom's house. We played the Cheap gift game, and for the second year in a row, Alyse got a pair of socks (actually they were mine) and wore them all night! They were soft and pink, that was enough for her!

This is Kim's grandparents! They have been married FOREVER, and still seem pretty smitten with each other! Sweet!

Kristy and Killian! It is rare to get a picture of Killian not in motion!

Kim's Aunt Chris, and.......Oh man, I can't remember her friends name!

This Video is of Kim's brother Aaron! He is the Yo-yo man in the family. He's good!

Alyse and I! Madison took this picture! I don't really need the top of my head, so it's a great picture!

Kim's Uncle Steven and Aunt Patty

Alyse doing Cheerleader! She is really good (for a 2 year old :)

This night always ends in new PJ's from Grandma Gloria! Alyse, Dalton, and cousin Madison

All the cousins, this is more like the kind of pictures I usually get of Killian! Braxton had the hardest job in this picture!

Thanksgiving 2009

Sadly, this is all the pictures I got on Thanksgiving! My camera battery died at the beginning, so I used my mom's camera to take a bunch of pictures, and then she lost her camera at the hospital, before I could retrieve the pictures!

We had Dinner at my mom and dad's house, and these were the beautiful tables Toni set for us! Cameron (Gwen's husband) did all the cooking, and it was phenomenal!!

Gwen, Toni, and Damon

That's all folks :(
