More Visitors!

This weekend Tom's sister Anna and her family came to visit! They brought Tom's brother Richard too. It was so much fun to see them! Anna's husband Allen hadn't been back to Utah since they moved like 2 years ago!


Anna is a professional photographer, and she brought all her photo equip., so check back later for super cute Ainsley pics!! Anna's super fun, and dang useful to have around. ;) (you can check out her website at www.annarasmussen.com)


Allen was excited to hold Ainsley, maybe he's ready for a little girl of his own. ;)
According to Allens family pattern, they get a girl next.

Cute cousins!


and Uncle Richard! He's going back to USU in the fall, so we'll probably get to see him more than the rest of them.

Sleeping Beauty

Don't they look so sweet and innocent when they are sleeping?
Well here's my little sleeping princess

"Drama Queen"


"deep ponderings"


"i feel pretty.. getting my beauty sleep here"


"it's too loud in here!"

Two Weeks Old!

Well we made it to the two week mark. She now weighs 6lbs 15oz. She sleeps pretty good, though usually better during the day than at night when we want to sleep too :) But even then she usually sleeps in 2-3 hr chunks with about an hour feeding in between. (with the occasional exception like last night when she decided that 3am was a great time to be awake) But she's still so cute we can't stay frustrated long.

We think she's going thru a growth spurt because all she wants to do is eat! There's not much time that she's not sleeping or eating, but i guess thats how newborns are. :) She alson seems to like to suck for comfort even when she's not hungry, so we are trying to find a binky she'll use. We just got a new one we have high hopes for, she was using it pretty well yesterday but today she will have none of it. Oh well, we will persevere. She does like to suck on her hand, she loves her hands and always has them up by her face.

Here's a cute video we made of her love of fingers.

Some fun random stuff

Here's our Lil Miss in her cute beach onesie Grandma Cinda made for her.
i love this picture, I think she' s trying to talk to us.


Her Uncle Matt gave her the first manicure of her young existence, lol.
He said he was a pro with Gavin, so I let him have a go at it. :)


and last we have her imitation of a seal, lol.
Grandma Cinda put her on top of the exerise ball and we couldn't believe how well she could lift her head up! She's a strong little girl!

Playing with Cousin Gavin

My brother Matt came to visit with his cute wife JaNae and their 3 month old little boy Gavin.
