LOVE Long weekends!

DISCLAIMER:  I PROMISE eating is NOT the only thing that Ainsley does (she is quite talented!) and I PROMISE that Evan does fully dressed on a daily basis (BUT, he can get himself undressed now, so that presents some problems...LOL)


Don't you LOVE long weekend?!  We had a great Labor Day weekend!  We spent most of Saturday watching football, running a few errands but mostly relaxing around the house, Sunday we went to our friends, Keith and Jackie's house, and Monday had the fam over to swim and cook out! 


So, I had these pics all in nice organized order but just downloaded the new blogger format and so what I downloaded first it put first (which makes sense but the old program what you downloaded first was at the end) SOOOO these pics are in reverse order in which they happened...haha

 Under our dining table is one of Ainsley's new favorite places to play and she can get herself inside her little "hideout" but can't get herself out! 

 YUUUUUUUUUM Check out those Baby Back Ribs!!!!!  They were AWESOME!

 POOL TIME!

 Lots of tricks with Daddy!

 Ainsley terrorizing MJ

 Popsicle!  Yep...a let her try a little lick!  LOVED IT

 Saturday night we were all hanging out watching football.  Well...Evan wanted everyone in his choo choo tent but we didn't all fit!  So...Christian put up his big tent...yep in the living room! 

 BROWNIE TIME!  Christian and I have been doing so good on our health kick but Saturday at the store...I COULDN'T resist the brownies! 

 These pics CRACK me up!  Can you tell he had a little bit of sugar?

 Such a good helper!

 SWEET GIRL!

 Check out those chompers...you should see the top!

 OOOO this boy is talented!

 UMMMM this not so much...

 Cutie!

 Somebody LOVED her breakfast this morning!

 PRECIOUS!

First show-n-tell!

Tomorrow, Evan has his first show and tell! Here is his practice run!

The two new cool things in our house!

Most of our days this week have been spent doing one of two things: either hanging out in Evan's tent and tunnell OR making field goal post in the hallway and running touchdowns and kicking field goals! Can you tell someone is ready for football season?! LOL The cutest thing? Evan MUST have Ainsley be a part of it all! You can see here...that he is kind of upset when she crawled out of the tent. haha. When he shoots basketball hoops, she has to do it his old baby one, has to have her own football, etc. It is so sweet! And of course, she loves it!

Ainsley's new thing? Of course pulling up on EVERYTHING! But, also thinks that crawling on top of the dogs is hilarious and they are so good with her...though Riley of course gives me the look ;)

PEEK A BOO!

Watching her crazy brother!

This is a short post! Just a few pics...trying to be better about posting as I take...LOL...need to get some hallway football pics and ones of Ainsley with the puppies!

Party TIME!

Our weekends and well week days have been so busy lately! Parties! Playdates! Preschool! It's been crazy! BUT SO FUN! :) Right now the weeks seem to just be flying by...I feel like before we know it we are going to be celebrating the holidays :) During the week, we stay pretty busy with Little gym, preschool, usually an outting or two, grocery shopping, etc! Just in the last week and a half we have been to the Children's museum and aquarium! I will have to take some pics and video at Evan's next LG class...I am so proud of all his progress he has made lately! Christian went with us on Saturday morning and couldn't believe all the new skills he can do!

And now on to pics! Here are some pics from some of thea parties we have attended lately! These first ones are from Christian's work party on Saturday night! It was there big end of the fiscal celebration and such a blast! We were all talking how funny it is because 4 years ago, the party was at Dave and Busters and then NONE of us had kids! We all stayed out pretty late that year! Now, most of the guys in Christian's office are on number 2 and at about 8...the party was winding down :) I love hanging out with Christian's work friends families...they are so much fun! Anyways...so we ate (OMG I don't think Evan has EVER had so much sugar...fondue! Thanks Uncle Greg (LOL) ), played lots of games (check out Ev's big prize), won a gift card in the raffle (woohoo), Ainsley LOVED playing with little Olivia, and I got to catch up with all the wives!

Ainsley loved watching all the things big girl Olivia could do!

And more parties! The first weekend in August was crazy fun! TWO parties and the last day of sports class in one day! Here is one of our parties...it was a messy theme! They made mud pies, did finger paint, bug races, a pinata...had a blast! Here is a few pics and the cape I made Mattias!

That day we also had Kaylee's 3rd Birthday party! A pool party! Yes, the cake pics are first...check out the adorable cake Amy made! The kids had a blast with water balloons, swimming, squirt bottles, sprinklers, and lots of yummy treats!

Too funny!

And our last day of sports class! Evan had so much fun at this class and I think the structure was great for him!

Touch down cheer!

Last weekend...we also had Grace's birthday party (no pics), Ryan's party (couldn't make it because Ainsley was sick, AND cousin Lexi's party (no pics)....My two are social butterflies! LOVE IT!
