I'm 2!!

Ainsley had a wonderful second birthday. The three of us celebrated as a family on Wednesday the 4th and then all the granparents and great grandma Lita came on the weekend to celebrate. Ainsley had a lot of fun opening and playing with all her new presents which included coloring books and art supplies, a Dora tent, Little People princess castle, Little People zoo animals, camera, play broom, alphabet toy, matching game, sweater, books, a baby stroller......and others!
She is such a big girl and she's proud to tell you that too!

Trick or Treat!

Here are some Halloween pictures. Ainsley had a great time trick or treating. We went with some other people from our church and the kids all had a ball. Ainsley got right up there at the front door even with the bigger kids. She had a smile on her face and was giggling. She also really enjoyed riding in the wagon with Delaney too.

Sporting the Halloween party hat she got at day care.

My feeble attempt to take a picture of us together.

She loves the little pumpkins. She calls the big pumpkins "Daddy pumpkins"

Thanks to a nice neighbor who was out walking her puppies to stop and voluteer to take a picture of all three of us.

Ainsley and Delaney---two very cute Minnie Mouse girls.

Sitting pretty and patiently waiting to start trick or treating.

October Pics

Here are some recent pictures from the month of October. Ainsley has a had a great time this fall so far. We enjoyed a trip to the pumpkin patch a couple of weekends ago. Ainsley loved picking up some of the smaller pumpkins and gourds. So much for using them as decoration around the house---Ainsley wants to play with all of them!
It's hard to believe she will be 2 so soon!

So nice of her to try to share her milk with Lucy.

Apple Orchard

We took a trip to Wilson's Apple Orchard this Saturday with our friends Harold, Amy and Kendall. Ainsley and Kendall had a great time running in the trees, picking and eating apples, and of course they were sporting their hawkeye gear, face stickers included!
Ainsley wasn't the biggest fan of the tractor ride out in to the orchard, but she got over it and did better on the way back! This will most definitely be a yearly trip for us!

Ainsley takes saying "Cheese!" very seriously.

Disgruntled look on her face when we got back on for the tractor ride.

Every time Ainsley found a bad apple on the ground she'd say "Ewww! Yucky!"

Having a little snack while we walked.

Kendall checking out the apple she had just picked.

Mmmmmm, yum. Taking a big bite!

Reaching way up!

Getting ready for the tractor ride out in to the orchard--just before Ainsley decided she was not a fan of the tractor ride!

Hi Mom!
