Alissa turned 2!

We celebrated Alissa's birthday on September 15th. Her age is finally catching up with her actions. She has been acting "2" since May. Her first love in life is CANDY! Hence the cake. It has skittles around the edges and star burst rolled out and cut into letter. Anyone who has been around her very much knows she loves candy. She will get it at the store, dig through people's purses and bags for it and scour every inch of our house until she finds it! When I was shopping for a few things for Broden's birthday party I had Broden and Alissa in the party store and when I was checking out Alissa was standing over by one of the stands with her back to me. I thought she was looking at something, so I left her. She was standing still! After I checked out I walked over to her and realized she was hiding the peanut m&m's  she was eating. The little stinker! At our house she will take the kitchen stools all over the house and climb onto dressers to get the candy on the shelf in the closet. We now have all the candy behind a child locked door in the laundry room. She also thinks if she gets candy for everyone we are less likely to say no. She when she finds candy she immediately get a handful and starts saying, Broden, Remi, Daddy. Then she takes some to everyone in the house. She is right, I melt a little when she is so willing to share.

We love our little girl. She has the cutest personality! For her birthday she got this little purse and she carries it everywhere. She puts everything in it. The other day she cleaned out my purse and put everything into her purse. I opened her purse and she had replaced her phone with my phone and had 3 lip glosses and a chapstick in there. She is starting to talk so much. She loves to say I love you. She can say Grandpa, which means, Grandpa and Grandma. When we were in Idaho for Christmas it was so funny. My brother walked into the house and she yelled GRANDPA!!! and ran over and gave him a big hug. She continues to call him Grandpa. She calls her friend Caden, her cousin Kyler and her uncles Tyler all Kylee. Don't know where that came from, but it is pretty cute. Alissa has always stayed up later than Remi and Broden. It used to be because she took late naps and just wasn't tired yet, but now it is because her and Remi share a room and if they go to bed at the same time they just play. So Remi goes to bed first and Alissa spends time with mom and dad which she loves. She is so cute for this hour every night. I'll have to post a video sometime. She gives hugs and talks to us. She makes the cutest faces and tilts her head while she is talking. So fun. We love our little girl so much!
