Summer fun

I can't believe it's already the middle of July. Ainsley says "Oh No, where is the summer going??"  She cracks me up.  Any time something goes wrong, she'll put both hands on her face and look at you and say "Oh no!"

I don't know what we've been doing for the past few months, but they've flown by.  It's probably because we've been taking care of a newborn and two year old, but it's crazy how fast this year is going.



My little chunky monkey

Check out her rolls!

I really need to work on getting a double stroller so I can take walks with both of the girls, but until I find one I like, I've been trying to take Ainsley out by herself after Joel gets home.  Ainsley also likes helping me push Lily in the stroller.  We'll only walk up our street, but she thinks she's big stuff!

Lily's wondering what she's strapped into!

Someone is getting too big for her car, but refuses to give it up.

Joel cleaned out the garage one day last week and Ainsley had lots of fun helping him.

Cleaning out the garage also meant having a car wash.  She got pretty good at it, and successfully washed all her cars without getting me or Lily wet!

Lily loves it outside and laid under the shade tree on a blanket for a few hours.  Every time she'd fall asleep, Ainsley would run over and wake her up.  That just meant she was good and tired that night for us!

We finally drug Ainsley's pool out of the shed last week and she was super excited. 

I gave Ainsley a popsicle one evening after a walk and she liked it at first, but it quickly led to a meltdown.  She didn't want to hold it because it was cold!

Rita brought Drake over one evening and him and Ainsley had a dance party with Mickey.

Drake still likes Ainsley's Baby Alive doll.  I'm beginning to think it may be a good birthday present for him!

Little Mommy

One of these days, we'll be able to see a good fight between the two of them, but Drake doesn't get too mad at Ainsley yet.  Even when she bucks him off of the horse!

Lily watches Ainsley and just takes everything in.  It's not going to be long before she's right in the middle of all the fun, but until then she's content with sitting around being cute.

Her toes are always pointing straight up, just like Ainsley's!



I hope the rest of the summer slows down, but I know it's going to go just as fast if not faster than the last few months. 

Looking at the Sunday ads with Mommy

I had to work late one night and Ainsley refused to go to bed.  She ended up falling asleep like this waiting for me to finish.

Time for a picnic

Finding Daddy's spare change is the best!

She loves her "Mickey cards".  Mommy, not so much.  They're constantly all over the house!

Singing in her "microphone"

Here, Mom...your turn.
