Happy 4th of July!

Hello everyone! I promise to download pictures, but I'll give a quick recap of what's been going on. Doug's parents have returned from Tucson. It's been great having them back. We've had quite a few big family dinners which have been lots of fun.

We spent the fourth of July at San Clemente beach with Doug's family. The Valgardsons, Yees, Bruschkees, Jimmy and Christi and Highams were all there. We took up a lot of that beach. We decided to not stay for the fireworks since we were parked around the corner from the 7-11 and trying to walk back at 10PM with a baby in tow just didn't sound like fun. Instead we headed over to my grandparent's house in Laguna Niguel and watched the fireworks from their jacuzzi...so nice!

My parents flew in for a visit from Hawaii and we were able to spend a week visiting with them. They brought Aly some very cute dresses from Janie and Jack (love that store) and brought Doug and I cookies from the Cookie Corner (these are the best cookies you will ever eat, yum!). We ate lots of good food and had lots of fun hanging out together. My mom and I got pedicures while she was here...I love pedicures they are absolutely wonderful. They flew back yesterday and Alyssa is going to miss Grandma and Papa very very much.

I have some pics of Alyssa at the beach with her toes in the water...I promise to post those soon!
