GO COLTS!!

We're so excited our Colts are in the Super Bowl! We can't wait for the game this Sunday. Here are a few pix from us watching the last game...

Playing in the snow

Alyssa played in the snow for just a few minutes before deciding it was just too darned cold...

Riding my trike

We took advantage of some warmer weather last weekend before the snow hit and Alyssa had a ball on her trike.

GO COLTS!!

Here's a picture from us cheering last weekend for our colts! We'll be cheering them on again this weekend! GO COLTS!!

hanging with the girls

Alyssa and I visited with some friends (Amy & baby Ayla and Michelle & baby Emma)from home over the holidays. The girls played together, but of course we couldn't get them all to smile for a picture!

Look at me!

Alyssa got a trike for Xmas from Uncle Tom and she already loves riding on it. We took advantage of the nice weather and took her for a few walks.

Sharing Breakfast with Dad....and Ollie

A typical Saturday morning at our house these days...of course Ollie had to make an appearance too.

Our attempt at a family picture

We tried to get a family picture by the tree... it didn't work this year...

My favorite chair

We got Alyssa her own chair for Chistmas. She absolutely loves it...and of course, it had to be pink!

Helping Dad with the lights

Before Christmas, Mike got the outside Christmas lights out to check them. Alyssa decided that he needed a little help...

New Pictures Coming!!

I know, no pictures lately. We've had all sorts of problems in the last few months - computer issues, internet issues, illness, time, you name it. But, we seem to have most of that taken care of, so I'll get back to posting some pictures soon. Look for new ones in the next few days!
Take care & Happy Holidays - Em

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween!!

Getting ready for Halloween

Alyssa helped to carve our pumpkins...

A trip to the Zoo

Mike and I took the day off of work on Alyssa's birthday and we took a trip to the Zoo. Alyssa really enjoyed seeing all of the animals...

Here are a few more photos from Alyssa's birthday. She really likes balloons, so we had these around for awhile...

Playing with Katie

At her party, Alyssa and her cousin Katie had fun playing together.

Turning 1

Its so hard to believe, but Alyssa is turning 1!! This weekend we had a party to celebrate with family and a few friends. Here are some pictures of her enjoying her cake. More pictures to come later this week...

My first Colt's game

We got tickets to today's Colt's game and took Alyssa with us to see it. She did really well, and the people around us were charmed by her.

playing on the swings

While we were visiting Grandma and Grandpa, we went to the park to swing. Alyssa really had fun on the swings...

a trip to Michigan

Just after Kate, Larry and Melissa visited, we headed to Michigan for a quick visit. Here are some shots from the trip playing with Grandma and Grandpa.

Playing with Kate

Alyssa got a few nights to play with second-cousin Kate at our house. Kate, Larry (Em's cousin) and Melissa were doing a tour of the midwest, visiting from Washington state. They visited with us for a couple of nights and the kids (just 2 months apart) had fun playing together... We were glad we got the chance to visit with them!
