YEP...

She likes that thumb. I swear she would have swallowed her entire fist tonight if it were detached from her arm! And the slobber!! I'm surprised our whole family hasn't drowned yet! If it weren't so darn cute, I would have to do something about it. She just lays there with both hands fighting for room in her mouth while she just jabbers and jabbers! Sometimes it sounds like she is being fussy, but she's actually just talking up a storm...and not being quiet about it!This little gal is still cute...Last night we were in the car driving home, and our friends were picking up some pizza and meeting us at our house. Derrick was being silly and sing-songing "We're gonna have a pizza party," over and over. So Cecily joined in and added in her "Oh yeah, oh yeah!" I turned around to look at her and she's totally into it and rolling her arms as she cheers. It was really cute! Hey Mom, I think Cec looks like a Thomas in the picture below. What do you think?

Anyone feel like making some yummy cookies? I just made these delicious ones (but then, I think ANYTHING with chocolate is good). You can get the recipe off of my recipe blog. They are my Chocolate Chunk and Toffee Chip Oatmeal Cookies.

Was this the lamest post ever? I'd say it's up there.

Visit To Utah

We made a visit to Utah over Memorial Day weekend and Derrick got to come with us, so we blessed Ainsley while we were there.  Here are some pictures:

She's such a sweet, happy baby!

Here she is just chillin' with Daddy:

How on Earth did we create these darling kids???

Anyway, I think some of you have already heard the news that we are moving back to Utah.  We got connected with a guy from Costa's corporate who was looking to run some restaurants, so we decided to bring him on so that Derrick could move on to what he's wanting to do next.  It seems like the timing was perfect.  We were getting frustrated that our home in Utah had not sold yet, and now we are going back and have a beautiful home to live in!  I'm going to really miss the wonderful friendships we have made here.  I've been a little emotional about it this week.  I can't even tell you how good it has been for us to live down here.  It really opened our eyes and taught us a lot.  We will visit Farmington often, as we still own the restaurant, so hopefully we will be able to keep these friendships we have here.

So packing... here I come (again)!

No More Spiders

Well, after SEVERAL comments and phone calls, I am writing a new post so that I can move on from the picture of that hideous spider on my last post!

I never did post any of the pictures that were taken of my cute girls when Ainsley was just a couple of weeks old.  My friend Amy Brimhall took these pictures:

My first bath in the BIG tub!

Sister is such a good helper. I promise Mommy is watching me so that I don't drown.

Already a princess!

Daddy thought I looked pretty good with rabbit ears!

OUR 2 LITTLE PRINCESSES

Ainsley Earis Tornow's Self Debut

This is me Ainsley! Don't feel sorry for me, I am a cute baby.

I just needed to get cleaned up a bit!


I'm just a bitty little thing.


But mom and dad think I'm pretty sweet.

They'll get some better pictures of me posted soon.
