Update or be deleted...

That was the ultimatum Renee gave me...so here it is:



This was the 14th - a heck of a way to spend your pre-Christmas days. Ainzley fell out of the basket at Sam's and had a minor skull fracture. Spent the night at University Hospital -




She is back to her old self again! Already been back for two follow-ups and she is not allowed to participate in contact sports for 6-8 weeks. Haha




This is the day we came home - she was so glad to see her kitties. The pillow case was from the hospital - one of a few gifts they gave her while she was there. She was only there 24 hours, but they treated her so well. She really did not want to leave the play room - Mamma was ready to come HOME!!

ON TO THE FUN STUFF:



This was after decorating the tree. It was a real tree, although it was half dead when we got it I think. Ainzley had a blast putting the ornaments on. Looked pretty good I think - Melvin and her decorated it and I video taped them.


And just like that it was over...and you know, I don't think we got a single picture of the kiddos opening gifts. They had a blast though. Here is a picture of Ainzley and her new toy kitty. She loves it as much as she does her real kitties (I like it more becuase it doesn't involve a litter box)!


thanks Iwanicki :)

And today it was officially over and by that I mean I took down all the Christmas decorations :( But as I was packing up all the stuff I came across a cool way to store my christmas lights...PLASTIC HANGER. It works perfectly...the little hook holds the plug in part and you wrap it up and hook the other plug in part on the other hook - then I hung it up in my storage closet...take a look and see what you think:


Lastly, I went to the ranch to take Senior pictures for Haylie...I had a shadow to say the least:







You should see the ones of Haylie :)

Weekend at Club Codina

Weekend at Campbells house was awesome. The kids played and played and then played some more - Ainzley had a blast! You can just watch them playing together and feel the love! Ainzley and Campbell played chase in the kitchen, swam, and played downstairs in 'Campbell's room'...it was the best! Oh, and StrattyBOY was there too!

The adults had fun too! Alan cooked us a great meal, as usual. We had our favorite wine, that we found for $6 a bottle (so we bought all 5 bottles - only drank 2). And we played games!

Out of the entire weekend we only had one complaint. I decided to portray our complaint in the classic "MasterCard commercial" style...check it out:

Pitcher on clearance at Marshall's: $3.00



Lipton ice tea: $2.25 with coupon



Having More than enough ice to make tea,

AND enjoy a glass of tea with the ones you love :

PRICELESS!

Seriously...Renee and Alan are getting ice trays in their stockings this year!


Weekend was a blast!!

Blog on Speed

I thought I better lay down some blog...Renee has posted three in the last week I think. Her blog must be on speed or something. (she even had time to blog about her vehicle?)

It's barely summer and my baby girl already has a tan line! She loves it outside - and loves the water. Pool water, hose water, even the dog water! She LOVES it - We are taking swim lessons in a few weeks. I'll let you know how that goes :)














If she is not in the water, you can bet she is in the hammock. Usually with Grita, but sometimes with Paige the Pig dog.



I am so proud of Ainzley! I am not talking about the fact that she is already potty trained - I am talking about her love of "mainting". She loves to maint ~ aka Paint! She is my little Picasso :)






She is a clown!













I am telling you, this girl is wild. She is chattering non-stop and is usually saying something hilarious. She is always coming up with something to make me laugh...we have a blast together and I for one can't wait for school to be out!!

She is sporting Paw Paw's safety glasses....and a little bit of lip stick too.
:) that's my girl!

The weather was fabulous - nice and cool...the animals actually cooperated and were out of thier cages.




Always one of my faves ~ the elepahant:


He was showing off for us a bit :)



It was just like old times...we even got to take a ride on the elephant....

TWO is on the horizon!

I cannot believe Ainzley is almost 2!
Time has just flown by and the Terrible Twos are upon us....YIKES!









I mean like seriously - she is almost driving :)










My little music maker.
50 cents well spent if you ask me...maybe not if you ask the other people in Hobby Lobby!



If you keep up with Renee's blog, then you know she got to go on a really cool trip to NY. Well we were pretty excited about that too because Campbell got to come for a visit :) They had the best time playing with each other...


Their first slumber party :) they were both asleep by 9 pm :)

That's a wrap

Well I am a little, okay, way behind on this whole blog thing. I try to update my facebook with photos, but am not all that good about that either.
WOW! What a year. Ainzley has changed so much! She amazes me everyday. She is so smart and funny too! She is talking up a storm and saying something new almost every day. She has a cute little voice and a funny little accent.
These are some of my favorite words:
  • "toot" - she is a toot sometimes and when she says it is so funny. Not only does it sound funny, but when she puckers her lips it is hilarious
  • "cute" - which come out Koot
  • "coke" and "coat" - sound a lot alike and sort of with a spanish accent
  • "britches" - as in tacky britches
  • "onion" - thats how Ellen came out - so now she has a new nick name :)

Here are some pics:


She loves her PawPaw and she loves going outside. *notice the fancy pink cowboy boots*

This is Bevo and kitty. She likes to feed them and then talks to them while they eat.

I am telling you, this girl is funny:



CHRISTMAS SEASON:
We had fun opening presents this year. Campbell was a blast to watch! Ainzley opened two presents - a music making Mickey book from her Grita and some bubble wrap from her PawPaw. That was it - she was fascinated with the two! That was it - she was done.


Two little angels -hahhahahahaha





PoopC and the gang gave her this gaming chair. She watches SpongeBob in this chair :)









Ainzley and "H"







The paci goes IN the mouth - if she finds it that's where it goes.



Hopefully 2010 I will be better at posting - but you know how that goes...
