Five Years Already?

It's absolutely amazing to me that Ainslee is 5 years old today! In just a blink of an eye she went from this sweet adorable baby to this smart beautiful little young lady who is about to start kindergarten. I wish time wouldn't go by SO fast! We love her so much! Happy birthday, Sweetheart!

Introducing....

sweet little baby Kaylee Lynne!

Can I just say GORGEOUS!

She is the most precious doll baby! What an angel! She is yummy! We absolutely LOVE her! And Kylee and Ainslee couldn't have been more excited! It seemed like forever before we got to Carlee's from when we left this morning. Kylee would not stop asking me when we were leaving and kept complaining about how long it would be until we left, until we got there, why we had to stop for gas, why I had to put on make-up. "I just want to see Carlee and hold baby Kaylee" If she had it her way, we would have just woken up this morning and left in our jammies to get to see that baby faster. We got to visit with Carlee for awhile and take a few photos. She is absolutely beautiful. I was excited to see them both. Kylee said to me on the way back home from our visit today, "I wish we could just take baby Kaylee home with us. I miss her already." They could hardly wait to get there today and hold that little bundle of beauty! And that they did. I had to fight to get a turn! Congratulations Carlee and Chris! We are thrilled our little Kaylee is here!

Lazy days of Summer?

Where did that phrase come from? I think it should be more like eventful days of summer! I decided once again to sum it up in one post. Hopefully, we are going to be able to be lazy by the pool at some time before summer ends! Here's what's been going on lately:

My parents came down and took the girls to The Sound of Music play for their birthdays:

My sweet friend, Steph, came to visit for a couple of days with her darling kids:

My other sweet friend, Jen, had her baby,

We made the trip for Collin's farewell,

Got back that same day to celebrate Father's Day,

Carolee took Kylee home with her on her way home from dropping Collin off at the MTC,

She spent a couple of days with her,

I went down and picked her up:

The next day we went up to my mom's for a Welcome Back party for my brother:
The next week we spent in Salt Lake for my cousin, Lindsay's wedding:

CARLEE HAD HER BABY!(pictures to come later..)

The next day of our return from SLC, we met up with our good friends, Lisa and Bill, and we went back up to my Mom's to go 4 wheeling:

That night they stayed with us to

Celebrate Brynlee's 2nd birthday:

Craig lost his top tooth:

Then we celebrated the 4th with my parents swimming,

and then our good friends, Jennifer and Justin and their kids came over for fireworks:

And finally, the next day we went back up to the mountains with the Andersons:

GOOD TIMES!
