Fun at The Park!

Hey guys!

Today a little while after me and my sister had both gotten home from school my brother had the genius idea of walking down to the park. What we didn't know, however, was that the park had been irrigated recently and the whole park was flooded. At first we were thinking, ahhh bummer, now what are we gonna do? But after a few seconds we took off our shoes excitedly and proceeded to play apple baseball. (I was very excited when i hit an apple and it broke into a million pieces.) Suddenly i realized what a great picture taking opportunity this was! T liked that idea and ran home for the camera. The sunset was awesome the water was relatively cool and the company of my brother and sister was greatly appreciated. :)
It was SOOO much fun. :) i cant wait for the next time they irrigate the park by our house. haha. Care to join us? ;)

Anyways i hope y'all have a fantastic week. Thanks for checkin in. :)


with love,

Long Time No Blog!

Hey guys! :)

So i was just chillen on the computer editing some pictures and reading the recent facebook posts of all my pals and realized that i havent blogged in WAY too long! So i thought that i should tell everybody about my day....

This morning i got home around 3am from babysitting 2 BEAUTIFUL kids, Russell and miss Payton. :) So i slept for a while and when i woke up i looked at the clock and realized that i had woken up 2 hours way to late!

After getting ready as fast as i could i rushed to the mall to meet 2 awesome new friends Kylee and Amy. :) Along with each of them came their beautiful daughters Addison and Lyla, Kylees sister Lexa, and Lexas boyfriend Garrett. Lemme just say that we had SO much fun! Both babies did fabulously well at being absolutely ADORABLE all day long. I cant wait to hang out with all of them again. Thank God for YoungLives camp bringin us all together! Im really looking forward to hopefully be doing childcare for the next club meeting in September. :)

So anywho thats been my day. Now im sitting at home thinking that a nap sounds mighty fine right about now. Thanks for checkin in. :]

with love, alyssa.

Today... :)

Hey guys! :)

Today was definitely a typical Monday. Dead tired this morning, had to drag myself to school, had to frequently remind myself that i was actually suposed to be awake and that i wasnt in some wacked out dream. Yeah. Typical Monday. It wasnt all terrible however, i got to make chocolate chip cookies in first hour Life Facs this morning. :D yeah i know piece of cake right? Well actually we messed up the cookies twice. The recipe was very confusing. ;)
Following Life Facs was English, History and the beloved French. :)
School really isnt that bad once you wake up and get used to being there. I think the first week is just the hardest because, even though your not doing anything, your schedule is all out of order. Other than that as long as you dont choose to do any crazy hard classes, its really not that difficult.



Oh my goodness! So. i was thinking about this today.. and im pretty sure now since doing childcare for YoungLives camp that I am really passionate about this ministry. Because every time someone at school says something mean regarding a few girls i know about them being pregnant i want to beat them!! I have learned so much by hanging out with these teen moms who have become such good friends of mine. For the most part, they are mature, REAL (Which i love so much), and they are so much in love with God because they really seem to have a grasp of His grace and His love. Though i myself am not a teen mom, and dont plan on becoming one, I feel like i can relate alot to these girls. Sure, yeah they've made a few mistakes but who hasnt! And still, through all the looks words and losses, they are doing what they can to not only look out for themselves but also work their butts off making sure their babies are well fed, well taken after, and loved. To me, this takes some guts. Props to them. I cant wait to spend more time with these lovely ladies. They are strong, beautiful, and I most definitely look up to them. Thanks for being in my life girls. I love ya. :)

Hey. :)

Hello there, and welcome to The Life and Laughter. :) my name is Alyssa and this is my very first blog post. :) I must say I am pretty excited. Up to this point my life has gone along just about the same as most peoples lives. Theres been a great abundance of laughter, love, hardships, and dull moments. Somehow though, i find it hard to agree that there isnt so many crazy, wonderful, new, moments everyday to digest. I find it hard to believe that God could ever let a day go to waste without showing any given person something simply amazing. Whether that something was big bold and beautiful or something so very small. Either way i think that every day holds something life changing....

Before i go off on a tangent i would basically like to wrap this up by explaining, I thought maybe blogging would help me out a little by forcing me to pick through things that happen in my day to day. I hope my posts don't bore you to death and maybe on occasion they might actually end up amusing you.
Enjoy. :)
