Alyssa's Photos

Mommy's cousin, Brett, and his new wife, Alyssa, were in town visiting on their way to South Carolina. Alyssa is a very talented photographer. She took some pictures of Mommy and me down on the Plaza this morning. They turned out wonderful!










I loved hanging out with "Uncle" Brett - he is my buddy!

I wear my backpack when Poppy wears his.


Thanks again for the beautiful pictures, Alyssa!

MOUNTAINS!!

YEA!!!! It's finally time to go to the mountains with GG, Poppy, Auntie, Uncle, Connor, Mommy and Daddy. I helped Daddy pack.
It was a LONG drive out there, but Mommy and Daddy said I did a great job! GG and I took a car break somewhere out in windy western Kansas.

Time for me to help Poppy drive the rest of the way. I don't have a picture of this but the funniest thing was when we finally got to Keystone and I got out of the car. I kept saying, "We made it! We made it!" and pumping my fist in the air. I was all wound up and couldn't wait to check out my new surroundings.


Poppy and I at Sapphire Point between Breckenridge and Keystone. The background was so pretty. I loved seeing the mountains with snow on top.

Mommy and I check out the lake, ducks and fishies.
We went on a paddle boat and fed the fish and ducks.

Poppy and I go down the slide together.

Connor and I both had our baseball jammies on, so Mommy thought it would be cute to get a picture, but I just woke up and I do not feel like getting my picture taken.
I had the BEST time playing with my cousin, Connor. I also got many "special treats" on the trip - I especially love suckers. Now Mommy is trying to explain to me that we don't have suckers every day at home, it was just a special vacation treat.
Daddy and I show our blue tongues.

Splish splash! Connor and I had a great time splashing in the bathtub together for the first time.
We love bathtime!
More special treats - I walked all the way down Main Street in Breckenridge holding this ice cream cone and making a big mess, but I didn't care. It was the best.
Connor and I got to ride next to each other in the car part of the time we were there.
My VERY favorite thing to do in Colorado was to "touch the water" and throw rocks and sticks in. We spent hours and hours doing this.
Then we went down to Denver Saturday night for my 2nd cousin, Brett's, wedding.
Daddy, me, Mommy, Uncle Chris, Auntie Jess, Connor, GG and Poppy at the wedding.
Playing the piano during the cocktail reception with my Great Uncle Mark. I also LOVED dancing during the reception. I wish we had pictures of this. I think GG has some. I was the life of the party and entertained everyone!
My Mommy and Daddy
I LOVE vacation - I can't wait for our next adventure!

Summertime!

Grandma Koshlap came to visit me a couple weeks ago and we got to play together lots. Here we are on my new playset. I love the "gator glider"!
I went to Deanna Rose with Mommy a few weeks ago and got to feed Mr. Goat. I was not scared one bit!

I also met the new baby cow that was only 3 weeks old!

Mommy, Daddy and I went to a hot air balloon festival. Unfortunately, this is all we saw of the balloons. As they were blowing them up, lightning came and they had to call it off. I hope we get to go next year. I was disappointed and said "lightning big balloons" the whole way home.

But I did get a yummy corn dog!
Swimming in my pool with my buddies, Wesley and Grayson. It's the start to a fun summer!
