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.

Fun photo day

Today, yes i'm actually posting the same day we had some fun photo ops - Yes, I really did Ains hair with rollers, and it turned out cute. We tried to get a good one of her in the boots, but it took me so long to get the camera she was ready to get out of them by then.

Fun at Joe's

Ainsleigh can find fun anywhere - even at GI Joe's. If there's a bike, she wants to try to ride it, and if there are "hats" (helmets) nearby, she must put one on first - the onto the bike. She is definetily entertaining.

Roloff Farms

Michelle had always wanted to go to the Roloff Farms (Little People Big World). She tried to go with her friends on a Saturday, but it was super crazy - so we went one Friday when I was off and had a blast - it's really amazing all the fun things they've built. Ainsleigh mostly liked the tiny pumpkins and the mud!

Sunday afternoon fun

One October Sunday Ainsleigh decided she wanted to run around after church instead of going into the house. I saw it as an opportunity to take pictures in some good clothes, instead of the usual comfy around the house clothes with food spilled on them norm. Here's my favorite shots.

videos, videos, videos

So, I haven't put any videos on in a while, so i'll try to do some catching up today. I have to say forgive the singing in some, but you know little kids don't care what you sound like if you're singing their song.

Itsy-bitsy Spider

Wheels on the Bus

slow-dancing (still spinning to dizziness)

Trunk or Treat at the church

At the counter, eating popcorn - two favorite past times. You also get to hear how she says "Ainsleigh" - it's pretty quick, so listen closely.

Riding on the garage sale find horse - she loves it!!

Dancing in the sand at the Sandcastle competition in August.

Going down the slide at the park by our house - she has since mastered going down forward, and now once again will hardly go down without someone holding on to her. August 2007.

Practing stop and go in sign language, and showing her "strong girl muscles" - this one is a must see - Sandy, I think this is the best one I have of strong girl.

Just showing off new skills & sounds for the camera. July 2007
