Visiting Family!!!

It was wonderful to see all of our So CA family.


Thank you to Aunt Cissy, Uncle Ed, Jimmy, Lizzie, Denny, and families for coming down to visit.

Thank you Debbie, Terry, Katherine, Ryan, Andy (and Kelly, sorry we missed you) for hosting.

Great company, great food and wonderful desert!

All of the cousins (well, Katherine and Ryan decided to sit this one out :-)



A perfect place for playing baseball.









We stopped by Aunt Cissy's for some great food and swim time!





We also got to spend some time with Jennifer and Cristina... thanks for dinner!

California here we come!!!

We were lucky to spend our Summer Recess with family, friends and the beach in So CA!

The girls were very helpful!



Picking their seats.




Mommy gets a break.



Southwest found out that it was Ainsley's birthday and had a special celebration for her. They made her this crown of peanuts and stir sticks, had the whole cabin shut their windows and turn on their call button as "candles". After they sang happy birthday she "blew out" all of the "candles". It was really sweet!

Ainsley has her River School party!

We also had a special celebration at school with all of her friends.

Singing to Ainsley!


All of her friends were candles and she went around to blow out all of the candles.


Cupcakes for all...





Yummy!

Happy Birthday Ainsley!

Ainsley went with mommy to pick out Dagny's birthday gifts and she specifically picked out this giraffe (she ended up with one herself and each now have their giraffe babies... but that is whole different story!) This is Dagny's favorite gift!

We thought this was a great picture of Ainsleys class. They had a wonderful time and survived the long walk.
