What a busy week......

What a busy week we had. It started out last Sunday on May 4th the day after Opening Day for boaters. It was beautiful out. So Cory and I decided to gather the family up and head out, our destination was The Locks in Seattle. We LOVE going there and watching people bring their boats on thru. Especially on a busy day it can get pretty intense and the love people have for one another def. comes out. After awhile we decided to leave and head up to the "apartment" to feed Alyssa. We got back to the car and realized that the set of keys we had brought were the wrong ones and we could not get the club off of the car. So we thought "OK, no biggie, we call Grammy she comes down picks us up and Cory would take her car back up to Marysville and get the keys and presto all solved!" Nope that's not what happened at all. Grammy wasn't home and didn't answer her cell. We tried calling several people which no one answered. Finally Nicole came to save the day! THANKS NICOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So what started off to be a beautiful day in the sun ended up being a day running up and down I-5. Now I don't use my club all that often and the one time we do this happens but I do have to give some props to the criminals out there who can get those off! Now it probably doesn't sound all that bad but I did leave out some details and just imagine being out on a nice day with a cranky 9wk old who is hungry and a dog who loves people with no water and in the warm sun. Lesson one learned by the Simmons' family. I'm sure many to come......

Monday was a big day, family portraits! Now Alyssa is smiling like crazy so obviously I was thrilled to be getting pictures done because I thought "these will turn out great!" She only smiled for one! They turned out great and Babies R Us did a wonderful job and it was nice we had the pictures back that day, which was great since they were mother's day gifts.


Alyssa and I than had a shopping and lunch date that was a lot of fun! We went to this store in the mall that's called The Pumpkin Patch. They have the cutest clothes and of course once again I bought Alyssa the cutest outfit for Mother's Day. I think that I am going to have to go back to work some time soon because I can't stand not buying Alyssa stuff and they have the cutest little girl stuff out there!!!!!!!!!!

For Mother's Day we made the journey down to Longview to see the family. We had a great time although chaotic it was great to see everyone and have the family together. We actually were able to get all of Alyssa's Grandparents together and her Great Grammy. Here are a few pics from the weekend.
