September and October happenings

Here are some pictures from our happenings over the past month.  Ainsley's taken up an interest in taking pictures.  She usually takes pictures of the tv, couch, etc. but she actually did pretty good taking the pictures below one morning.

We've been taking advantage of the nice weather as much as we can.  Walks to the park, parades, bubbles and chalk are all about to go away until the spring.  

Trying to see the beginning of the parade

I love the way Lily looks at her big sister

Just eating some bubbles...

 

Practicing writing 'A'

We visited Daddy at the shed one day.  Ainsley sang "Let it Go" while we waited for Daddy to finish fixing the combine.  The girls found lots of cool rocks, and Ainsley told me at one point that she was moving all the rocks so she could find the dirt underneath.

Let it go!!!!

Ainsley picks up a lot at school.  She's said a few things over the past few months and I'll ask her where she heard that, and she'll reply with:  "Miss Elisha says it."  I was sitting in the living room one afternoon, and I looked over to find Ainsley reading a book.  I asked her who did it like that, and she said Miss Elisha does.

Lani stayed with us for a few hours one evening and the girls had a blast.  They all crashed before Jeremy and Kathleen got back to pick up Lani.

I love how Lily crashes in her crib and is never in the same position when I check on her.  Ainsley's slept in our bed since she was a few months old, and Lily's never slept with us.  I have to say that I'm pretty glad, because watching her roll all over her crib doesn't look like it would be a fun night for me if she was inbetween us in our bed!

Ainsley's spent a few afternoons with Joel in the tractor.  She loves "helping" Daddy!

Riding in the semi with Daddy!

Lily loves following Ainsley around and doing everything that Ainsley does.  She really gets excited when she finds a time where she can be onery to Ainsley.

Doing Sissy's hair

Trying to wake Sissy up from her nap

I found them in Joel's bathroom one afternoon catching up on the latest tractors that are for sale

They didn't want to get out of this tote!  Ainsley let Lily sit on her lap and play with her hair in it.

Right before little sister destroyed the track

Lily still loves babies, or anyone that is her size or smaller.  There's a few kids around her age at dance, and she likes playing with them and hugging while waiting for their big sisters to get out of dance.  Briley was Lily's victim one morning!

Lily got a surprise gift one day from Aunt Doris.  She sent her a new little chair!  The girls fight over Ainsley's little pink chair that Aunt Doris got her for her first birthday, so it was a nice surprise.  Lily was super happy.  She no longer has to listen to big sister tell her that she can't sit in the chair!

Can you tell Lily likes her new chair?!

Grandma Rita's birthday was a few weeks ago, and we went to Evandy's to celebrate after it rained one day.
