March 2012 - Sunshine & Family

March was a wonderful month filled with sunshine, family, surprises and birthdays. During the first part of the month, Alissa and mommy decided to enjoy the beautiful weather together and ride our skooters to the park. I have a feeling that we will be spending a ton of time on our skooters this summer since Alissa really enjoys the activity. Alissa was so lucky to receive this wonderful Mickey Mouse Skooter for Christmas from the Tyndalls. Thank you!

Uncle Brad sent Aunt Jill to Utah to spend her birthday week with mommy from March 13-18, 2012. Alissa decided to surprise mommy, daddy, and Aunt Jill by "potty training" herself during the same week. To top it all off, the Diamond family received some "fame" by making it into the Deseret News while touring the Boeing 787 Dreamliner plane that uncle Brad helped to build, test, and market. What a fabulous way to spend mommy's birthday. :)

 Since Uncle Brad is on the Marketing team for the 787 Dreamliner, he flies around the world to market this innovative plane. Brad was on the plane as it flew into Utah on March 15, 2012.
Simce Uncle Brad is a Boeing employee, he was able to invite theDiamond and Shepard families to tour the plane. This is a picture of the family members who were able to take time off work to tour the plane. Unfortunately, mommy ended up staying home with a sick Alissa and missed the tour.
These last two pictures were in the Deseret Newspaper on Friday,
March 16, 2012.

This first picture is of the following: Grandma D., Grandpa D.,
Uncle Mike, Norda, cousin Mykin, Uncle Dick, and cousin Jon.
This second picture has Uncle Wayne, mommy's Uncle Jack, and
some other family members that are harder to see.

On March 16, Grandpa D., Aunt Jill, and Mommy went skiing at Snowbird and had a wonderful time.  



Then on Aunt Jill's last day in Utah, Jill helped Alissa make a pizza for lunch.

Later that evening, the entire family got together for dinner at Grandma D's.
Finally, here is a picture of Alissa giving our doggies some love.
