Trip to Utah

On April 1st Eric, Alyssa and I took a trip to Utah. It was the second time since Alyssa was born that we have been able to go and spend time with my side of the family. Once again, Alyssa did great on the plane. She was awake and fun on the trip there and slept the whole time on the flight home.

This was the first time I was able to see my first little niece and she is adorable. Her name is Alyana but goes by Aly. A month after Alyssa was born my cousin and his wife adopted a handsome little man and named him Keegan. He is a month younger than Alyssa. It was so fun to get the little babies together.

Grandpa loved having his little granddaughters with him.
It was my Dad's birthday while we were down there and we took a couple pictures of Dad and the girls for his birthday present. It is obvious that the girls loved being with their grandpa too :)

Alyssa and Alyana - Alyana is 4 months younger than Alyssa and it was so cute to watch them together.

Alyssa, Keegan and Alyana - Keegan never stopped smiling.

A couple times as we were driving Alyssa would get fussy so I decided to pull the camera out and she loved getting her pictures taken. She calmed right down. It was so cute.

My best friend Andrea had a little boy 3 months after Alyssa was born. His name is Adam. This little guy is practically the same size as Alyssa. He has the cutest dimples in the whole world.

A wonderful thing that happened while we were in Utah was my little niece was blessed at Liz and Pesh's home. This is Alyssa on the drive up to their home. It was another time she was fussy in the car so we pulled the camera out.

She was named after her father's mother Kalavati

The proud family

Alyssa and I spent some time at Aunty Becca's house and her son Landon is the cutest little terror in the whole world. He loves to make messes and he is so cute when he confesses what he has done.

Outside at Aunty Becca's house. It was such a nice day. The boys played a "real" game of baseball and the kids were all running around the neighborhood. There are 25 kids under age 9 in their culdesac.

I just love my little girl.

Alyssa's favorite toy is a Baby Einstein duck that Aunty Becca and Uncle Troy gave her for Christmas. She loves that toy and reaches for it whenever she can.

Ethan is so cute with Alyssa. He takes such good care of her.

We had a great trip to Utah. It was so nice to catch up with family. I wish they lived closer.
