Happy Birthday Stephanie

June 9 was Stephanie's birthday. We had a nice day on Canyon lake and then we went to Trudys for dinner. The lake was perfect. It was a Tuesday so we pretty much had the entire lake to ourselves. It was smooth and nice for skiing. Dinner was good too. We had mexican food and birthday cake for dessert. Happy birthday Stephanie!

Gymnastics

My mom and I took Ainsley to the gymnastics center last week. The gym is open for toddlers to play on the equipment every Monday morning. So we decided that we would try it out. As you can see in the pictures, there were lots of cool things for Ainsley to do. I think our favorite thing to do was the pit full of styrofoam cubes. Kids were jumping into the pit like it was a pool of water. Ainsley also liked the wedge. She climbed up and down it several times. What can I say . . . it was something different and interesting to do.

Boating

Recently, we have been going out on the boat a lot with our friends and family. For those of you who don't know, Josh and his brothers have a boat. Everytime we go out, we enjoy ourselves. Check out the videos of Josh wakeboarding and skiing.

Swimming

We have been going to Harry and Stephanie's new neighboorhood pool to swim. The pool is very nice with a lazy river and baby pool. Since the pool is in New Braunfels, we have been packing our lunch and making a day of it. As you can tell in the pictures Ainsley has been having a lot of fun swimming. When we first put her in the water, she cries a little and then she starts to relax and enjoy it more. I'm sorry the pictures are turned the wrong way - I got a new camera and I can't figure out how to turn them the correct way.

Playing Outside

I always try to think of something interesting to blog about so I decided to blog about Ainsley playing outside. I have been so busy these last couple of weeks with school ending that I decided to blog about something that most people don't know we do each day. Every night after dinner, Josh and I take Ainsley and the dogs on a walk. When we return back to the house, we let Ainsley play in the front yard. She usually walks around and picks up sticks while harassing the cats. As you can tell in the video, she is growing up fast.

Honeybrowne Concert

Last night we went to Gruene Hall for a Honeybrowne concert with our friends. The band was actually pretty good. We first went to dinner at Adobe Cafe and then to the concert. It was nice getting out and doing something different.

Graduation Day

For those of you who don't know, I graduated today with a Master's Degree from Concordia University. It was a huge accomplishment considering that I am working full time with a baby. I am so happy it is now behind me and I have another degree. Thank you to everyone who supported me through out the process. A special thanks to Josh considering all the tuition he paid and the weekly babysitting. I couldn't have done it without him.
