Pampered

Out of the blue Alyssa says. "Mommy, I need to get a haircut at the salon." Hmmm, I was super shocked. Not too long ago she was petrified stepping into a salon.Todays event was "The Daddy & ALyssa gets a hair cut Day." She watched daddy get his hair cut first then she takes her turn. She insist that she gets her hair shampooed llike daddy did. She dons a special penguin frock while she get her hair cut. Gets her hair blow dried and styled. Most especially, rewarded with the coveted lollipop for a job well done!

The Canopy goes UP!

When we moved in to our Dunmore townhome Alyssa's canopy was not put up right away. I was not so sure if she would be extra careful on not stepping  or tugging on it. But, now at almost 4 years old we're pretty good in following directions. A great big surprise happened one afternoon......and we got a little nap to test our new princess "tent".

Splish Splash

I fly solo most of the time when Austin's working a 24 hour service at a rig site. So, Alyssa and Aidan take their baths at the same time. They both LOVE IT ! Aidan discovered that splashing the water is a new phenomenon and it leads to big sister splashing back which ends up getting me a little soaked.

Choo choo

Since packing has commenced and few toys had not made it into boxes ,which I think they're getting bored with. Packing materials are the newest toy trend around the Parrott household.

Weddings! Weddings! Weddings

Next was a September Wedding for Aunt Ashley and (Uncle) Stephen In Tulsa , Oklahoma. By this time we're a pro at flying but still very exhausting. Alyssa's such a great flyer! Max & Ruby movies + Snacks = a Happy Alyssa in the plane. Aidan's newest milestone is being able to chew (gumming) solid foods, Yey, for Gerber puffs!

The wedding was held at a vineyard. Alyssa was the flower girl and this time she had such a great time throwing flower petals down the aisle. I had to convince her to grab a handfull rather than one at a time. Whew! Imagine ! Although, that would have probably made a cute funny wedding video.

Pictures will be posted as soon as Austin returns home with our external hard drive. :)

Weddings! Weddings! Weddings!

First was a July Wedding for Aunt Andrea and (Uncle )Casey in Conroe, TX. I was prepared and still nervous flying with kids. Alyssa was too excited and couldn't stop talking about seeing her family in Texas! Aidan had his bouts of crankiness, thankfully it was the last 10 minutes of the flight and the plane was getting ready to land. Overall, it was a good flight and an exhausting one.

Alyssa was the cutest little flower girl and I a bridesmaid (such an honor!).
