Congrats Brent & Jessica!!

My little brother is now married.  We had such a great time in the Dominican Republic and are so happy to officially have Jessica in the family.  Here are a bunch of pictures from the trip...

Alyssa wasn't a fan of the waves.

We love the Zoo!!

We bought memberships to the zoo this year and I think it's going to be money well spent.  It's so nice to get there right at 10:00 and leave after an hour or two.  Alyssa's favorite part were these little red birds that would run back and forth along the window.  Alyssa would run after the birds trying to catch them laughing the whole time.

What Monkey?

15 Month Appointment

Alyssa loved the waiting room but quickly realized where she was once we made it to the back.  She wouldn't let me put her down.  She weights 19 lbs 13 oz (25th percentile) and is 29 inches long (10th percentile).

Alyssa & Kaylee

Jennifer and her daughter Kaylee came over for a little swim a few weekends ago.  It took Alyssa a little while to warm up to the idea but she had fun watching Kaylee splash around.

Learning to share is hard!!

Dance Machine

My cousin Luke got married a couple of weekends ago and Alyssa was a big fan of the dance floor.  She loved dancing with Reed and was very upset when I made her get off.  Wish Jimmy could have been there to see her get down.

PK Weekend

This past weekend we finally got to celebrate Easter with some of our closest friends.  Alyssa got to go on an awesome egg hunt and take her first ride on a boat.  Don't be fooled by the pictures below...she hated the boat.  Thank you Rick and Debbie for a fun filled weekend!!

Thanks Jen for buying them all PJ's for their 1st slumber party!!

Look at the size of this egg!!

NICU Reunion

Every year Jimmy and Amy are asked to present the Lois Stanley Volunteer Recognition Award at the annual NICU Reunion.  This award is given to the individual or group of individuals who volunteer numerous hours in the Neonatal ICU.  It's hard to believe this is the fifth year to present this award.

Weekend Outdoors

We took Alyssa to the zoo for the first time this weekend, she was a huge fan and was pooped by the time we made it home.  She loved feeding the birds and as she does with everything else she tried to give it a kiss.  

We also went to watch daddy run the warrior dash.  I don't know what I was thinking but it wasn't as kid friendly as I had imagined.  Jimmy came out alive so all in all it was a good race.  Afterwards, we headed to the Haskin's house where we relaxed in the hot tub while eating pizza.  It was such a fun and relaxing evening.

Happy Easter

Easter was exciting this year.  Alyssa had her first Easter egg hunt and daddy enjoyed all the candy she was able to find.  She loved picking up the Easter eggs and over the past week we have continued to find Easter eggs all over our house. Alyssa loves playing with them.
