Alyssa 4th Birthday

Alyssa got to celebrate her 4th birthday with both my family in WV and with her daddys family in NJ. She had a strawberry flavored mermaid cake at grandma's house and a round chocolate cake at chucky cheese.

We celebrated with friends and family at Chucky Cheese in West Windsor. All the kids enjoyed the coaster simulator, even Alyssa had her hands up!

She even

got a new cousin for her birthday. Kia Alexander was born early morning on July 11th. Here is a picture at the hospital where her other 2 cousins were visiting the new baby too. Aiden and Dhanya were very happy to see our girls and enjoyed the small amount of time they spent together. Baby Kia was sleeping.

I think she had a great birthday with Chucky Cheese, her friends, family and her lola even took her to Build A Bear.

4th of July in WV

We travelled to West Virginia for the 4th of July this year. We did the usually stuff, Yard Sales at 7:00 in the morning, but not before stopping at McDonald's for breakfast. Then did some food shopping for the weekend. Came home to feed the men since they were fishing all morning. At night we would all pitch in to make dinner then it was off to the fireworks show. We all had a fun time, even John. The kids had fun with their sparklers too. This is Isabel and her cousins. At night the kids all slept on one big air mattress. Poor John, one morning Alyssa curled up beside him. Then next morning I found him on the floor.
The girls spent most of their time playing with the new chicks. My dad incubated some chicken eggs so my girls would get a chance to see them hatch. There were over 30 chicks and the girls went crazy playing with them.
