4th of July

We spent 4th of July with Grandma and Grandpa. Alyssa was so cute playing with all of her cousins. She and Tally fought over Grandma's lap many times, she kissed and loved her baby cousin Brecken, she got to ride Chase's little four wheeler, and Jaylee played with her like she was Alyssa's Mom. We went to the park to watch the fireworks. It was so much fun! She ate snowcones and the cousins' lollipops, we tried to give her cotton candy but she seemed to be afraid of it.



When it got dark we bought some glow sticks and made jewelry for her. That wasn't enough for her so she crawled over to the other kids and stole theirs from them. The fireworks started with several loud BOOMs. She was a bit nervous at first but when they lit up the sky she was in a trance. Alyssa started clapping and pointing she was so excited that she kept going back and forth between Michael and I to watch them. I spent most of the time watching my daughter enjoy them for the first time. Holidays are so much more fun when you have kids.

While I was in Utah Jessica taught me how to do digital scrapbooking and she help me with the program. Thank you for your help Jess. The rest of the pictures of Utah are being prepared and will be posted soon.
