Alyssa's 5th birthday

Alyssa turned 5 on May 11. She woke up to the table being decorated & doughnuts for breakfast

She got the long awaited big girl jewelry box from Grandma & Grandpa

She had her birthday party at Peter Piper Pizza (she only invited girls because she didn't want "to get any boy gifts")

She got to make her own pizza

It was a Tangled party

She got some great stuff

and even ended up with a brand new bike with a bicycle attached for her Barbie's to ride with her & if you know Alyssa this is a big deal! Zhara picked it out for her :)

Happy birthday Alyssa. You have grown into such a beautiful girl & we are blessed to have you in our lives!

Moments in May

The girls spent a few days of Easter break with my parents. They always enjoy time at Grandma's "without mom & dad" and they had a great time This is Hider....the lizard that is always hiding from the girls, hence the name Hider

movie night

painting Grandma's toe nails

Grandpa was teaching Zhara how to ride without training wheels.

Chillin' with Grandpa

She looks a little possessed

A visit to the Children's Museum

They made a house out of foam blocks

Alyssa was playing "this little piggy" with Haleigh & Haleigh thought it was hilarious

Farmers raises money for the March of Dimes and so for David's district he did a bowling tournament.

Somehow this is how Haleigh spent most of the time at the extremely LOUD bowling alley

Grandma & Grandpa drove down for the tourney....Grandma was so excited to bowl after 4 years that she bowled for 2 hours
