Playing and Painting


A fun little game I found Avalyn playing with Ainsley the other day.

Ainsley was very happy playing this game!


Playing in the messy living room- so much fun!

One of Avalyn's favorite things to do, painting!

Avalyn in her "painting" room (the laundry room), she could do this all day. I even set up a still life this time, it of course was painted underneath the top coat of all the colors mixed together. I let her do whatever she wants on the painting, I just like to see her happy doing it!

9 Happy months!


Ainsley Brooke is 9 months! She is growing so fast and is doing great! My baby just can't seem to slow down. She is crawling everywhere, pulling herself up, standing up by herself (for a little bit), feeding herself, clapping and waving. So many milestones already hit! She is such a happy sweet baby!

Princess Ainsley- Avalyn likes to think of herself and her sisters as princesses.

NEW Bikes!

New bikes, finally! Gavin's bike was a 12" and Avalyn has never had a bike- she used Gavin's tricycle. We don't do too much riding around here, our driveway is on a slope and our house is near the turn of the road and of course the weather here has not been great. We aren't on a busy street (most of the time) and we are down the street from a park with a bike trail, so as long as Kyle or I can get out of the house they can ride (not been too much since Cambria and Ainsley have come around). We surprised them last week, kind of like Christmas- but with better weather for riding bikes!
We have had the bikes for awhile now, but we were waiting for Gavin to get big enough and the weather to warm up.
I bought Gavin's bike over 2 years ago, on clearance for $15 (down from $60), but it was a 18" so we had to wait till he was 6. I was just glad it was red, his favorite color! He was very excited, but kind of wanted a bell (like Avalyn's).
Avalyn's I bought at Christmas time on sale and with a coupon. It is a 12" and she is just about too big (she pretty tall for 4), this would frustrate me more but we have 2 more girls! You can't beat all the baby storage, bell and streamers!

I went in and got him sunglasses after I took the picture.

The Girls


The girls have a few things that match, but they don't seem to ever have them on at the same time. Avalyn was very excited when I put all the shirts on the girls and they were "triplets"! We were not going anywhere so I thought I'd attempt to take a picture.


Cambria playing in the toy bucket!

with a duck of course!
