Visit with Aunt Alyssa

We had our Alyssa come to stay for a whole week and we loved every minute!! I'm sure she was excited to leave so she could actually sleep in and not listen to screaming children for lots of the day, but it was so nice to have her around. She and Lyla had a blast together- they are great buddies! I loved having her here to chat with and she got me addicted to One Direction- we sang and danced to their songs over and over.

 We went to the zoo with Lyla's good friends- Allie and Suzie. They got along so well and walked around holding hands. So sweet!

We're so grateful for good friends- it makes life so much easier to have friends there all along the way.

Since Alyssa is Lyla's dance role model, we made her go with us to buy some clothes for Lyla's dance class this fall. We went to a consignment store and Lyla insisted on trying everything on and dancing around for us. Such a little drama queen!!

Lyssa and I went to zumba twice when she was here and we had fun dancing and feeling ridiculous together. We must have been worn out from the week of fun because the second time we went, we thought we would die! Then of course we came right home and had a big bowl of ice cream.

We went with some friends to Rigby lake and enjoyed the nice water on a hot day. Summer time is when I really miss living by my parents and their amazing pool. Pretty sure we'd be swimming every day if we lived there!

Lyssa caught Trevor attacking Paul's face which he loves to do whenever he gets a chance. That boy is so full of energy and i'm sure will soon be into everything.

We went to the Melaleuca picnic which was extremely hot but very fun! Lyla enjoyed this swing ride but didn't want to do the other activities. Our favorite part was watching daddy ride the mechanical bull- more to come on that in another post!
