Ainzlee misses her sister!

This what Ainzlee looks like everyone morning we drop RaeLynn off

at preschool!! She gets all sad and a lot of the time cries the

whole way home! Ainz LOVES playing with Rae!

But I also think she has been enjoying the time she gets

to spend with just mommy! We love reading books, building

blocks, and just being silly!!

Ainzlee your time will come soon enough!!

Love you!!

It's all about Rae!!

Isn't she just too CUTE!! I just love this little girl....

......oh wait she isn't so little anymore!

She started Pre-School on Tuesday and just LOVES it!

She didn't even want me to walk her to the door (but I insisted) and no

way would she give me a kiss goodbye in front of her teacher

and the others kids! So I got a hug instead!!

(I will take whatever I can get)

Love the freckles and her smile!

(if you look close she has some freckles on her nose

and just loves to point out the new ones!!)

Rae was so excited to put all her school supplies

in her backpack!

Such a BIG girl!!

Papa and Mama love you so much!

And no matter how big you are,

you will always be our little baby!!

Let's get this party started!!

Over the weekend we headed to good old Idaho for a

huge family party on Stuart's side of the family! Let's

just say we did a lot of dancing, eating, talking, and laughing!

Papa, Rae and Ainz playing ring around the roses

with their cousin!

And they all fell down!

Every night we turned up the music and got our groove one!

Grandpa is the reason we got together,

to celebrate his birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA HODGE!

All of us!

Stuart with sister Candice and her Baby Raelynn!

Another reason we got together was so Stuart

could bless his sweet niece Baby Raelynn!

Swinging on the hammock with some cousins!

I love this guy!!

Boys will be boys!!

Ainzlee loved playing with the kittens!

So did RaeLynn especially in the bike trailer with

cousin Caleb!!

Thanks Aunt Janet and Uncle Steve for the

AWESOME weekend!!

Playing in the Rain!!

The other day Stuart and the girls were playing outside,

it was such a beautiful day. But not for long!

The RAIN came, and came, and came some more!!

This is in our parking lot!

Ainzlee was freezing!!

RaeLynn liked playing in the rain but

had to have the umbrella! Look how far the water

comes up to her boots! And that isn't even the deepest!

Too cute!!

Downtown Portland

RaeLynn and Ainzlee showing off there Lego car at the Lego

convention we went to in Downtown Portland!

The girls had too much fun playing with Legos,

we missed the Farmer's Market!

But that's ok!! We spent the afternoon at

Pioneer Square playing in the the fountain!

Boy, was it FUN!!

Ainzlee loved kicking the water at her sister!

Ainzlee was soaking wet!

RaeLynn just got her feet wet!
