Photo Journal of Alissa's 1st Birthday Party

STAIRS?!

I'm so not ready. ha ha. Alissa can no go up the stairs. She can't come down, which obviously poses a problem. We tried to teach her to come down on her butt, but she gets to confused and turns herself around to go back up. ha ha. *sigh*. My peanut isn't little anymore.

Just for Grandpa Nick

Well here's a special post. This is for my dad. He can never see Alissa...so this one is for him. I took a few videos and pics of her around the floor today. She was so pooped after this, she went down for a nap! Enjoy!!

"Ma Ma"

I love hearing it. Every time it makes me smile. I'm sure there will be some day where I will get tired of the nagging..Mom Mom Mom Mom.. ha ha :) but for now- I just soak it up.

Tons O' Fun

Yesterday we took Alissa for her cake smash. I have been looking forward to this for months!! We had such a blast. I loved working with the photographer, Denyse. Such a GREAT idea. Here's a link to her blog to check out the preview pics. It's also down below in my blog spection, but just incase :)

Photography

So I have this itch. I've had it for awhile...and it seems I can never satisfy it. I absolutely LOVE photography. I always have. My brother, Mike, has incredible, self-taught talent. I dabble every now and then and adore others shots :) Here's some of my favorites that I've done. I would love to some day have my own studio or even go on the road doing weddings and such. Right now I only have a point and shoot, but hey...ya gotta start somewhere, right? :)

This weekend I will post my favorite shots for your review

So we decided to dress Alissa up. We got given an adorable butterfly outfit. I think she looks way too cute!!!


After she went to 3 houses we went back to grandma's house and played. She has this unicorn there that makes noise when you press the ears and the mouth moves. She absolutely loves it!! Here's her going for a few rides.
