Yes, we are still here.

I know, it IS about time I write a new post.  This is what we've been up to in the last few months:

Ainsley is totally growing up.  She finally started walking in May, at fourteen and a half months old.   She is getting taller, but still looks too small to be walking around.  I don't know if I have mentioned before, but this girl has got attitude.  She is a feisty little thing.  But funny.  "No, No!" is one of her favorite phrases, but she is really good about saying, "Thank you."



Cecily and Ainsley still get along very well.  They are always giving each other kisses and hugs, and Ainsley tries to imitate everything Cec says and does.  Here they are just chilling on the deck.  We are finally working on getting our landscaping done.  Hopefully, by the end of the week, we will be done with this phase and I will post some photos of the yard.

Ainsley isn't exactly the clean eater that Cecily was at her age.



I think Dad looks pretty proud.




We spent a week in Vegas over Mother's Day.  I am so happy to be the mommy of these little girls!



Cecily graduated from her first few months at gymnastics/preschool. 




We took a quick trip to Lake Powell with the Allen's last weekend.  It was a great little getaway.

Here's Nate Allan showing off his wake surfing moves.


This is his wife, Shar.  


Here's Ainsley trying to grab the camera.


Yep, Derrick can wake surf, too.


Oh, and I got up on the surfboard too.  But you'll just have to believe it from this cropped picture.  I promise, I am doing you a favor by not posting the lower half of my hot bod.


The girls had a great time hanging out on the boat and swimming in the lake.  Cecily took a ride on the tube, which she thought was really fun.

We stopped for a walk and view of the dam on the way home.



Happy Father's Day to the best daddy!!


Cecily just started taking a dance class.  I know it doesn't look like it from these photos, but she REALLY loves it!  Cecily really does not enjoy posing for pictures.

Well, that's about it.  Now that I have FINALLY written a post, I can promise that I will not wait so long until the next one!
