Florida vacation

Ainsleigh was putting lotion of after her bath and decided her bear needed some too (notice white spots on front paws), she was also very willing to smile for the camera, as soon as I brought it out to get the lotion shots she started saying "cheese".


Opening and playing with one of her early Chrismtas presents. She loved getting presents for like 2 weeks striaght!!

This is the position she was sleeping in when we got up the 1st morning there!! Isn't it hilarious?


The middle of December we went to Florida so Brody could walk at graduation from University of Florida. Brody's parents and youngest sister CieJae met us out there. We had a wonderful
time, had good weather, got to see Brody graduate, and spent some time with dear friends from there. More activities and photos in future posts.

Christmas tree pictures

Cheesy grin :)






Look at those toofers!!

I thought it would be nice to get pictures of Ainsleigh in front of the tree in her Christmas dress - luckily I figures out how to make my camera take pictures continuosly at like 5/second, though it did make for some hilarious picture sequences. I ended up taking something like 200 pictures in about 15 minutes. As you can see, I never really got "the perfect photo", but by the end of this she had had enough.

Oh Christmas Tree

We finally decided to get a tree this year - the 1st one ever. It's fake, which will make up keep and take down extra nice. Ainsleigh likes it, she loves to play with the balls from the tree, turn the lights on (it's a footswitch she can even do), and take certain ornaments off the tree - they end up on the ground as you can see in the last picture. She really likes Minnie mouse, a bear, and this funny clown one that she always cradles like a baby. I also got a star for the top of the tree, probably one of my favorites i've ever seen, and it's gold - can you believe it??!!

Family Pictures

We took advantage of everyone being together over Thanksgiving - here's a few of the favorites. Lila, a friend from our ward, took them, and she did a great job!!

Thanksgiving time

Nana Loi, Cayden, Ains, and Camrie

Camrie & Ainsleigh on the horsey - all 3 loved riding it.

At OMSI doing this cool gadget that would make cups fly in the air, Ainsleigh thought it was awesome!!

OMSI in the kids playroom

C&C at the Antarctic exhibit

Camrie in the chemistry lab.

Cayden at OMSI, I don't know what exhibit, my mom and I had left by then with our tired Tater.

For Thanksigving Nana Loi, Shawn, Erica, Cayden and Camrie came. We had a great time. Ainesleigh LVOED having others to play with 24/7. We had a nice Thanksgiving day, went to OMSI, and just hung out a lot. I was supposed to learn how to do the whole turkey thing for Thanksgiving, but ended up waking up that morning with pink eye, so I spent a few hours at urgent care and missed the cleaning out, stuffing process. Oh well, I guess there's always next year.
