Pumpkin Patch!

We went to the pumpkin patch today! There's a family farm, close to our house, that has both animals and a pumpkin patch.

Ainsley had so much fun! She did a great job pulling the wagon of pumpkins around. Alise really had no idea what was going on...poor kid!

Fall is here!

Here are a few pictures that Ainsley and I took yesterday.....fall is definitely here! It's so pretty. I just keep having to tell myself to enjoy it and not to think about the bitter cold months ahead!

What a girly girl I have! She always has her "baby" and a purse with her. That she doesn't get from me. But...she is very much a perfectionist...that I'm afraid she does get from me!

Alise!

Alise is a very busy girl! She most definitely takes after her dad :o) Here's a few pictures of our life with Alise!

As you can see Alise keeps us on our toes, but she also brings a lot of joy to our house!

It's really hard to believe that she'll be 1 year old in just over a month! Where does the time go???

Dancing Queen

This year we started Ainsley is dance class. She absolutely loved it, but unfortunately the class was cancelled since there wasn't enough dancers signed up for the class. She did get to go for a month! We did sign her up for a "Tiny Tot" dance class through community ed. It starts in November.

Todd's Boat!

Todd has been busily working on designing a hydroplane! He literally started it from scratch. It's amazing the things that he knows how to do. As of now, he's just about ready to paint the boat, so soon he'll be able to launch it! It does work....I have witnessed it :o)

Ainsley's 3rd birthday!

We ventured out and had Ainsley's 3rd birthday party at McDonald's this year! She had a great time! Her FF (BFF) Kaisha was there along with her "boyfriend" Wesley and a few other friends. It's hard to believe that she's 3!





A few months ago, Ainsley and I made a birthday card to submitt to the TV channel Sprout. They choose a few birthday cards for each day to show on TV. Ainsley's wasn't one that was picked, but her name did appear on the "Sunny Side-Up Show" that day!

We also had Ainsley a cake, at home, on her actual birthday (10/10). We took her out to dinner, and when we asked her where she wanted to go she said to "chinese food." Translation: she wanted to go to the chinese buffet where she could eat jello and cottage cheese. Kids!
