Overdue Picture Post

We have really been enjoying our summer!  Here are some pictures of what we have been up to:

We had fun at Ryan & Raelene Brown's wedding.

 Riding on Pooh Bear, thanks Great Grandma & Grandpa Kahler!!


Ainsley loved her swimming lessons - especially the days she swam with Daddy!

Ainsley loved standing up on the deck - so proud to do it all on her own.

We finally got some weather warm enough to enjoy our pool.  
Ainsley likes it, but I think she wishes it were warmer like the YMCA pool.


Cousin Keegan is here visiting from Alaska.  This was their first time to meet.  
It was special to watch them play together - Ainsley couldn't take her eyes off him. =)


 More cousin time.

We had such a wonderful time celebrating Ainsley's first year with family and friends.  Thanks to everyone came.  This is Ainsley with two of her favorite NICU nurses, Laurie & Judy.  
What a treat to have them there!!

Ainsley's incredible birthday cake!  Thanks to cousin Anna Austin for creating this masterpiece!

Every little girl needs a monster truck jumpy house at her first bday right? =)

Brandon, Ainsley, Auntie Kari, & Grandma Kris enjoying the party.

Hanging out with Auntie Cassie at her birthday party.


Talking to cousin Corbin at her birthday party.  He is so sweet with her - she loves him!


Enjoying her very own cake. Yum!

Eating dinner at her party - love that face!

Another swim lesson photo.  We enjoyed 5 weeks of lessons.  
Ainsley has gotten very good and doing bobs (going under) and glides (going under and "swimming" from teacher to Mommy - with the instructor holder her of course).  
We will probably do another session of lessons in the fall.

 Swinging at the park near our house.

Look at me Mommy!  
Ainsley's latest skill is pulling herself up and "cruising" (walking around holding on to things for balance).

Ainsley in her car - Thanks Grandma Sherry!

Ainsley is terrified of little dogs - especially when they bark.  We have been working on getting over this fear. Here is she doing okay with Grammy and Grandpopz's dog Hodja.

Walk at Riverfront Park


We went to Corvallis for the day.  We had a picnic, played at the park, and went for a walk.

Ainsley got a water table from Grandma Sherry for her birthday.  
So cool!  Thanks Grandma!!

Showing off her skills.
