My pumpkin says.....




What Your Jack-o-Lantern Says



You are a naturally cheerful, happy go lucky person.

You're the type of person to see Halloween through the eyes of a child.



This Halloween, dress up as something cute - like a bunny.

The candy you should give out: candy corn

A new baby!




One of my favorite things is animals, especially dogs. I claimed Zoda pug as my own and love her very much. We are almost always together. One of Daddy's friends at work knew someone that had pug puppies and there was even a black female, mommy's favorite. We went two weekends ago and visited her, she was very cute and sweet. On Saturday, we went to pick her up and bring her home. She is so little, she weighs 1.8 pounds! She likes to sleep and eat, and chew on toys a little. Most of all she loves to be held and snuggled. I am being a good helper and help mommy with the new baby and Zoe. She is super cute, here she is.....

At the dentist......


On Friday I went to the dentist and met Dr. Jon. Mama told me he was very nice and he would look at my teeth and make them all sparkly clean. I love going to the dentist, I liked Dr. Jon and his assistant Marsha. She asked me questions, and I got to look in a big mirror and show her how I brush my teeth with a special Disney Princess toothbrush. She gave me Disney Princess flossers that are really cool. I laid back in the BIG chair and got to put on really neat orange flower shaped glasses while Dr. Jon and I counted my teeth. I have ten on the top and ten on the bottom. He said I have been doing a very good job, no cavities and he had no concerns about my teeth. He also said I was a very good patient and asked Marsha to help me get a goodie bag and he would have something special for me to do when we were done. Marsha helped me get a Mickey Mouse bag and we filled it with a pink sand timer(tells me how long to brush), my new toothbrush, my new flossers, my orange glasses, chapstick, toothbrush, a sparkle butterfly pencil, a princess sticker, and special mouthwash that shows me where I missed a spot. I met Dr. Jon in the hallway and he had lots of toys in big tubs, he told me I was such a good girl that I could chose one toy to take home. I chose a special white carebear with a flag on his tummy. I also got to meet all the assistants that worked with Mommy while she was there, they were very nice and they said I was so cute and brave. Mommy took me to Mc Donalds and playland after we were done. I had a busy day but I liked going to the dentist and my Mommy said she was glad and that she was so proud of me.

MMM, apple time












I have been learning about apples. I have been busy learning how an apple grows and sequencing the steps, sorting different colors of apples, graphing with apple products, sizing apples, patterning activities with apple cutouts,doing apple art and science projects and of course cooking with apples. Here I am working on some of my favorite projects I have done.

Weekend Adventures of Alyssa and Axel.....












I had a great weekend! My Aunt Shannon and Cousin Axel came to visit us. They got to my house on Friday and Axel and I had so much fun playing together. We also had a blast playing with Zoe pug. She ran and we chased her around everywhere. Aunt Shannon and Cousin Axel brought me lots of really cool presents that I love, thank you so much for them! We went to bed and got up early on Saturday for our big day.

We got to Chuck E. Cheese soon after it opened. It was very nice because we could ride or play on about anything we wanted. I wanted to climb in the tunnels alot, Axel rode some of the rides. We got pizza and salad for lunch, but neither of us wanted to eat very much, there was so much to do! I showed Axel the toddler climber and he loved going down the green slide. Daddy and Aunt Shannon played some games and helped us play also to get lots of tickets to trade in. Axel liked feeding the tickets to the Ticket Muncher machine. We took our tickets and traded them in for all sorts of different little treasures that we enjoyed.

After Chuck E. Cheese, we headed for a place called Cat Tales. It used to be more interesting when you could get up closer to the animals, but we still did look at a few different species of big cats. Axel and I had alot of fun playing on the statues and rock structures they had. After Cat Tales, we headed to the grocery store. A woman there gave Axel a blue balloon and I got a red one. We headed home for the day, and we were both exhausted. Neither one of us took a nap though much to everyone's surprise.

Back at my house, we played together until around 8 when we both told our Mommies that it was bedtime. Sunday morning Axel had to leave and go home. We were both sad, but my Mommy assured me I would see him again. Hope you both had a safe and fun trip home Aunt Shannon and Cousin Axel. Thanks for coming to visit me, I had a great time!!

What Animal are You?




You Are a Dog



You are ready to protect and defend anyone you love. You are incredibly loyal.

While you are protective and territorial at times, you are also quite playful and carefree.



You are compassionate, and you understand people well. You pick up on emotions.

You are eager to help people, and you are a natural best friend. You enjoy being around others.

I love Chuck E. Cheese!!









My weekend was busy again. On Saturday I took my Zoe to the vet, she is doing much better and does not have to go back again for her eye. I went shopping at Walmart, Winco, and the Dollar Store. I also went to Clarkston and saw Grandpa Burl and Grandma Betty.
On Sunday, I went to Spokane and ran a few errands with Mommy and Daddy, then we went to Chuck E. Cheese. I was so excited I was about to burst. It was a chilly, rainy day and it was very busy. It took about a half hour to get a table so I had extra play time. The rides and toys were pretty busy, and I rode a few before our pizza came. The pizza is yummy, but the rides and games are the best! I was even courageous enough this time to climb into the tunnel system that is mounted to the ceiling, Mommy says I am so brave and such a big girl. I didn't stop grinning from ear to ear until it was time to leave. I had the best time and will be going back again this weekend. I can't wait! Here I am having a good old time.

Alyssa at Play







I have been busy playing with my Zoe alot this week. I have enjoyed painting, playing princess, playing in the playhouse, and building with blocks. Tomorrow, I get to go to the dentist with Mommy again, he is making her feel much better. They have a neat aquarium themed playroom that I like while she is busy with the dentist. On Saturday, Zoe pug goes back to the vet for an eye recheck. She makes me laugh alot and I love her very much. I have been doing a great job with the potty this week and on Sunday I get to go somewhere special with Mommy and Daddy. I have been talking alot about my cousin Axel. I keep telling mommy I want to show him my halloween decorations, and the toys in my bedroom. I have also been asking Mommy to write his name so I can learn to read it with all the other names I already know. Here are my photos for today......Have a great weekend! Don't work too hard out at the new house Grandpa!

Hanging out at home.....






I have been hanging out at home a little more so Mommy can stay and rest when she needs too. I have been a very good girl and very helpful to her. I have been spending a lot of time outside, enjoying the last few really warm days. It has actually been hot at my house, even in October! This weekend, I took my Zoe to the vet and she is getting much better. I went shopping with Mommy and Daddy and we bought two new fish, a blue one and a yellow one. They are very pretty. I have been doing pretty simple activities until Mommy is better, like painting, coloring, and just playing with toys. I have also been decorating and getting ready for Fall and Halloween. Here are some pictures of me just doing my thing, and my new fish!
