The Hardy Family Reunites

Yes that is right, we are finally a family once again!! After six weeks of Stuart coming home(well my mom and dad's place) every weekend, the girls being up till 9, 10, ok or maybe 11 almost every night, RaeLynn wearing nothing but her bathing suit or ballet outfit, Ainzlee getting into the dog dish and well pretty much anything else she could get her paws into, we have a place to call our own! As much fun as it was being with my family all that time, the past week has been great! Stuart is home in the evenings, we have dinner as a family, and we can just play, play, and play some more! We love our new apartment, it is huge and really nice! The girls love having a room again, their long lost toys and their beds back! I love that when Stuart does come home, he is home to spend time with us, he doesn't have to worry about homework, tests, or anything to do with school!! It is great!  Enjoy the pictures!! And there will be more later in the week, of our fun adventures while at grammy and pop's house!

 

 
RaeLynn loves Louie!! Ainzlee loved playing in the pots with dirt! Good thing my mom hadn't planted her flowers yet!

 
RaeLynn's First Haircut! April 30, 2009 Thanks Lilli!

Ainlzee loved the neighbor's dog so much, she would spy on her!! 


I put her on the couch to get some milk and when I came back she was out!!

 
Taking a drink from the doggy dish, and playing in Louie's house!

Happy Birthday to me! (don't i look happy, i didn't really want any pictures but stuart insisted!)


Birthday cake, it was so good! Something I got from a magazine waffles with strawberries, ice cream, chocolate syrup, and cool whip! (I will post the recipe later this week.) Yummy!

 
Ainzlee enjoyed the fun waffles and ice cream!
My sweet 26th birthday bash!! Derek and Stephanie came for the weekend!!  We had a really good time at the rodeo and just hanging out!!

Congrats on getting your own apartment! As much as you love your family, it is always nice to have your own place again. And Arlee, I love your hair! It's so cute! Your little girls are so grown up - RaeLynn looks so old in that picture where she is getting her hair cut. Darling!

Good to see you are a family again! My mom said that she saw you and your cute girls. She was thinking of flying down here while Blake was at Scout Camp but after she saw that you were in WA she decided that I should fly up there to see family and you. So I am coming in two weeks - July 7th to the 14th - I hope you are around and that we can get together... it has been too long!
