Alissa's Christmas Presentation

So last night was Alissa's pre-school Christmas presentation. It was great!! Alissa sang so loud, you can definitely hear her over everyone else. Becuase she sang so loud, she lead the whole group......lead them right to singing Jingle Bells chorus over and over!! Check it out!!

Updates

we alot has been happening. Alissa started school this month. She is loving pre-school. She is suck a Blessing. She makes me smile so much. I was sad she was starting school. My baby is growing up to fast. She told me she would stay home with me she didn't need to go to school because it made me sad. I told her she could still go to school i'll be okay. So when I started taking her to school she ask "mom are you happy." I had to tell her yes so she would go to school. I just love that she wants to see me happy. She is a light in my life. I am so happy to have her. Alissa I love you and am so happy to have you in my life.

another Anniversary

We'll people are always asking how where doing. I feel like some days I'm losing it and then I look at my beautiful daughter and think I just can't lose it. I feel so blessed to have Eric and Alissa in my life while dealing with all of the heart ache all over. It is so hard to believe that tomorrow will be 1 year since we lay our son to rest . I feel so helpless some days. I also feel so very blessed to have had the love and support from so many people. It feels so good to know that heavenly father sends us what we need sometimes before we even know we need it. I think that through all of these trials we have gone through this past year what we have learned the most from them are to pray often. So days I forget the most important thing we learned. I did get in the mail a magnet the other day that says when life gets to tough to stand kneel. I needed that. I was having a bad day and I just needed to pray. I felt comfort from that. I do feel truly bless.

Happy Birthday

We'll Friday was Kimball's 1st birthday it was easier than I thought it was gonna be, but still hard to handle. I think having my family come over to be with us really helped me get through not having Kimball here for his birthday. So we did a special cake that had his picture on it from the day we had him. I really miss him and know that everyone does. Alissa asked us how we were gonna get to Kimball because he was really far away. It is so cute how much she tries to come up with ways to get to here brother she would have made a really great big sister. She had a bunch of balloons to send him and when she released the last balloon she gave it a hug and a kiss and said happy birthday and I love you and miss you and then let it go it made me cry. We also took flowers to Kimball's grave and she found the little puff weed flowers that you blow and she made a wish. She said Kimball I wish you like your flowers. I know that he loves everything she sends him. We'll Happy Birthday Kimball. We love you and We miss you. Mommy, Daddy, and Alissa

Just an update of this summer

In june we went to Lincoln City, Orgen for a vacation for 1 wk. We had a lot of fun, good weather, and I was sad to come home and go back to work and life. It was a great escape from everyday life. It was so funny when we got to the house we rented Alissa was upset she wanted her carpet house back she didn't want to stay at the plastic house. The plastic house was the house we rented it had laminate flooring and thats why she called it the plastic house. We went to the beach everyday and Alissa got to play in the ocean. It was a lot of fun. We went to New Port 1 day to the Aquariam and that was an assume Aquariam. I would recommend it. We will post pictures later. We hope everyone has a Happy and safe 4th of July.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Alissa. Today makes another year that has gone by for our beautiful little girl. Each day she changes in size, looks and personality. I look back and think how wonderful it was to finely get to hold her the day she was born so perfect in everyway. I couldn't have asked for anything better, even if I had picked everything out of a catalog. It seems like just yesterday she was learning to walk and talk. Know it seems like everyday she is learning something new and Im having trouble keeping up. She is such funny child and is always coming up with new comments that are making us laugh. Alissa, we hope your day is filled with special memories and we hope you stay the beautiful person inside and out that you are today. We Love you and want the world for you. Love mommy and daddy. Well post some pictures later of her 1st day and 1st birthday and 2nd and 3rd. If i can find all of the pictures.

Where has the Time gone

Where has all the time gone to. Its so hard to believe that our Princess is going to 3 this year. Alissa is growing more and more each day and her personality is really starting to change. She is so smart so days its such a pain to have her know so much and have such a good memory. She has such an active imagination. She is such a blessing to me and eric. She is definately the reason I get up every morning. She also is not a morning person which is a big challange. I can't wait to get her in pre-school. she is so excited about starting school. I think were gonna try and put her in dance to. She likes to stand on her tip toes and tworrell around its so cute. Alissa We Love You. incase I don't blog again before your birthday. Happy Birthday. We are also expecting a brand new baby cousin. So hopefully she will come out soon and bless us with her pressence and Hopefully we'll get to meet her this weekend. I know Heather is ready to meet her new baby girl. We Love you John and Heather and new baby hope to see you soon.
