What a busy week we had. Last Thursday, July 30, I took Alyssa down to Lacy and met her Grandma Simmons who was going to take her for the week. Let me tell you that was the hardest thing I had to do. At first I thought it was going to be a nice break but after a day or so I was ready for my little one to be back with her parents. The long drive back sucked because the Blue Angels were practicing, if you ever get a chance to see them it's a must! Last year I got to work in the "tower" so I was right there in the middle of it all and it was an amazing site. Anyhow Cory and I had some weddings to attend, a friends on Friday and than Saturday we were off to 
Gardnerville Nevada for my nephews wedding.
Gardnerville Nevada for my nephews wedding.My nephew Jason married Melissa who was a beautiful bride. I couldn't be happier for the two of them. I know they will have a great life together. 
They have a gorgeous little boy, Jackson, who is 9 months old. I can't wait for Alyssa and Jack to get older and be able to play together.

They had a nice quick ceremony and than a great party at my sister's house. It's so bizarre to think of my little nephew being married and a father! I remember when he would come over in the summers and knock on my bedroom door to wake me up and run down the hall laughing. Anyone that knows Jason he has such a great laugh and to this day I can still here him and Nicole laughing as they were trying to wake me up. I am very proud and happy for him!
So after the wedding on Saturday Cory and I stayed down there for a few more days to enjoy a mini vacation. We enjoyed our time really just hanging out. On Monday we ended up going to Lake Tahoe to lay out on the beach and enjoy some rays. We went to this neat park called Camp Richardson. We laid out for about an hour or two and enjoyed the water. It was kind of comical so the beach isn't that packed and there is plenty of room around. We are laying out and t
here is a little room next to Nicole and the family next to us. When I say a little room for probably two people but that is with them invading your personal bubble. So this lady comes and puts a chair almost on top of Nicole puts her little umbrella up and starts spraying her sunscreen on herself as it was blowing onto Nicole and her book. I wish I would have been able to take pictures of this. The lady acted all surprised that it got Nicole and everything. I mean don't people know proper beach etiquette?!?! After this we ended up leaving and going to get lunch there at the beach and it was fabulous. They are known for their Rum Runner drinks. They are good but they could definitely sneak up on you. Later that night us girls went and saw Mama Mia which is a fantastic movie. Tuesday we headed home.

On Wednesday I headed to Longview to pick up Alyssa, but not before heading to the airport to pick up one of my closest friends for the last twelve years. Miranda! She hadn't got to meet 
Alyssa yet so she was very excited. It was great seeing her again. She's been living down in the LA area now for the last five or so years. I can't wait till Alyssa is old enough to go down there and we can go to Disneyland. Miranda bought Alyssa a Cabbage Patch doll which Alyssa actually enjoyed playing with or at least putting the hair in her mouth. I have a feeling it will be one of her favorite dolls she has.

I have started pureeing her food and made some broccoli so hopefully she likes it. It's know surprise that she likes the sweeter foods better but I am going to keep trying with the others. It's so easy to make your own food. I had people on both sides of it telling me what to do and obviously I did what I thought would be best. So the adventure in food making continues. I also bought Jessica Seinfelds cookbook, which is adding puree vegetables to common meals and you don't even realize it's there. Basically it's for children who don't eat their vegetables to get some. I have tried a couple of the recipes and they are great you really can't tell. Alyssa has her six month appointment coming up and I am very excited to see how much she has grown since her last one.
