Ansley: 2

Ansley turned 2 on Sunday! I can't believe my little baby is already 2! :( It seems like just yesterday we were up for hours at night walking the house, trying to get her to sleep and now she is so grown up. She is a bossy, sassy, full of spunk, loving, hitting and fighting two year old with a mind of her own. Miss independent without a doubt. It seems impossible to believe all the things she has learned over these two years.

She had a Minnie Mouse birthday party this year and had a blast. We rented a bounce house for her and all her friends and they all loved it! :) Here is what this smart little cookie is up to:

• Can say her first and middle name when you ask her "what is your name?" Needs help with her last name, but can repeat it back to you as cCaslin. :) too funny
• Loves story time at the library
• Loves to read books in general and every night read at least one book before bed
• Can count to 10 by herself
• Can count to 5 in spanish with VERY little help
• Can talk like its no one's business :)
• Loves to play outside, especially with Mya and Macy
• Loves to play with her babies
• Is a very good big sister that is a little too rough sometimes with him, but always wants to hold him
• Is a big helper when is comes to taking care of her brother, cooking and cleaning
• loves Barney, falls asleep to that dumb show everyday
• Like to watch "mouse" every morning (mickey mouse)
• Wearing 2t clothes and size 4 diapers
• Still not wanting to potty train
• Loves to sing!! We sing the Wheels on the Bus, Itsy bitsy Spider and Bunny Fofo (sp) almost everyday
• Can also sing Barney's "I love you song" with minimal help
• Hates having her hair fixed
• Loves to brush her teeth in the mornings while mommy brushes her's
• Loves her grandma's, grandpa's, grandpa Carolyn, Petie, Alicia :)
• Everytime I tell her that I love her she says "I love you mommy" awww, just melts my heart
• Loves going to Grandma Peggy's! On the morning's she goes there she jumps up in her bed and yells gma Peggy, Mavrick, Addalyn and Whitley! Then says "O they are nice" :)   (thank you gma Peggy, Im soooo glad she is in good hands) *tear*
• Takes a nap in mommy's bed almost everyday

I love you Ansley Jane! I can't believe how much our lives have changed since you came into this world! Thank you! You make me a better person and proud to be your mommy!

I'm in serious need on some photoshop :)

The Swing Set!!!

Ansley will be 2 in just a few days and as long as she has been able to walk she has loved Mya and Macy's swingset she will go up and down the slide and always wanting to swing! We enjoy spending time with the neighbors but Ansley definately needed her own! So a couple months ago we noticed the swingsets were going on sale due to the end of the scorcher of a summer! We finally got her one and Zach and his Dad set it up a couple weeks ago. To see her face when her, grandma, and Karson pulled up was awesome! Her eyes were glowing, she was screaming at the top of her lungs, and just as happy as any almost two year old could ever be! Needless to say she absolutely loves it! We didn't get any pics of the building of it but here are a few afterwards and some of the kids enjoying their new toy!

Fall 2011!

Yes, I know this post should have been before Halloween 2011, but hey you get what you get these days! :) We headed to Applejack's Pumpkin Patch in early October with our great friends Jamie, Luke, Landen and Jaycie! It was a cold and dreary day with rain on any off. We happened to think that it wouldn't rain while we were there, but boy were we wrong! It poured on us! We were there a total of 5 minutes before the rain started, so needless to say we didn't get to enjoy the pumpkin patch! :(  We did manage to get a few pumpkins from the patch before heading home! Maybe next year we will have better luck.

We did manage to carve a couple of pumpkins thanks to Zach and his dad! Ansley didn't want anything to do with it!

Halloween 2011

Finally, pictures of Halloween! We were busy, busy on Halloween night! I think we made 11 stops and still skipped 4 stops! Its was crazy, but the kids were champs and acted great the entire night! :) Ansley got a ton of candy this year and had a hard time putting her candy in her bag! She wanted to eat every piece she got at each stop! :) We left the house at 5:30 and retured at 8:30 with some very tired kiddo's!
