Someone's turning 1 today

Can you believe it? Alyssa turns 1 today! She is such a blessing in our lives. She lights up my day every time I get her in the morning when she greets me with a bright toothy grin. And if you can believe it....she's walking! everywhere! There's a video at the end so you can see for yourself. Happy Birthday Alyssa! We love you so much!

I've been feeling a little artsy lately so I painted her some butterfly's in her room with the help of my Mom & later a friend. This is before.

And this is after.

I found this old barf yellow colored shelf at a 2nd hand store, stray painted it white & voula! it's not ugly anymore. I've been wanting to have a place to hang Kenzie & Alyssa's blessing dress & tiny shoes.

More butterflys...and Alyssa's hair bows & flowers

And more... I went a little crazy. :-)

And I had to post this picture because it just makes my day--they're mine & I love them.

HOLY COW!!! So cute! I can't believe those little legs can hold up that chubby body though :) Kurtis had me play this video over & over & over again & giggled every time. Loved it! Miss you! Wish I could be there! The butterflies remind me of the way Kenzie's room looked. Hope you have recovered from the party! Love you!!

She is looking so much more like Kenzie to me. She is so chubby and adorable. I love the way she was walking in that video. Kind of like she has a bum leg. ha ha ha

Miss you! And I found something that I was supposed to have given you 2 years ago. Will you email me your address again? I don't know where I've put it right now.
