Aisley is 2!

Happy Happy Birthday to our sweet Aisley Mae! I can't believe that she is two! She seriously is the sweetest, most animated little girl. We are so blessed to have her in our family! (7.17.13)

Brads cute grandma made Aisley this sign

About Aisley Mae at 2 years old:
- Favorite Food: pizza, hummus, mac and cheese, chocolate and juice
- Favorite shows: Mickey Mouse, Tangled, the Lorax, Diego and Dora
- Favorite things: anything outside, going on walks, jumping on the tramp, playing in the water, watering the plants with Grandma, reading books, and learning new things. She seriously thrives off of learning new things. She loves to be quizzed about different things.
- Aisley has a crazy good memory. I tell her things once and she remembers them. Last conference Brad showed her a picture of the 1st Presidency before it started Saturday Morning. We didn't mention their names again and on Sunday when she saw Eyring and Uchtdorf she remembered both of their names. That is how she is with everything.
- Aisley learned to talk at a young age and is such a chatter box now! It's so fun!
- She loves to say the prayer and can do it all by herself. If you don't call on her she will say her own during yours haha
- Aisley loves her little brother and always tries to make him smile. She baby talks to him now and it is so funny!
- Aisley can almost count to twenty
- She knows the letters A, E, S, O, and T (really random, and I'm not sure how she learned them but she has started pointing them out lately.)
- She is very social. She will go up to kids she has never met and put her face right up to theirs and talk to them.
- She loves to dance! She shakes her bum so funny haha. When we are at the store she will stop randomly and start dancing to the music.
- Aisley likes to sing and will make up songs about anything you ask her to. She is so funny!

Seriously, we love this little girl so much. She keeps us on our toes. We are so grateful to be her parents!

My Sweet Grandma Craner

This is late, but earlier this year my Sweet Grandma passed away. We miss her so much! We feel so grateful for the example she was to us and for the love and support she always gave to us. We love you Grandma!

Benedict Reunion

This year the Benedict Reunion was at Darby Girls Camp. It is always a blast getting to spend time with family. Aisley LOVED the huge slide. She also loved playing the sand at the volleyball pit. Thanks for putting everything together Aunt Lalove! We had a great time!

Love my little girl!

My cute boys!

4th of July

Happy 4th of July! This is the only picture we took (with the complementary finger on the side :)) Aisley enjoyed the parade and playing with cousins! On the other hand we waited around for the Melaleuca fireworks and Aisley was not a fan so we left early (as in two minutes after they started). The whole ride home she kept saying, "I don't like fireworks. They are loud!" haha bless her heart. Maybe next year!

Texas!

This summer we had our family reunion in San Antonio Texas. It was a blast to be with the family! I was super nervous about the plane ride with the kiddos but it actually went really well! In Texas we spent time at the lake house, boating and swimming, and at the river walk and the Alamo. Aisley loved riding on the boat and playing in the water, and playing with her cousins. Carter was spoiled with kisses and hugs from all of his cousins. We had so much fun!

Outside

Aisley is OBSESSED with the great outdoors! I'm quite sure she would live outside if I would let her. All day, every day she begs to be outside. She has so much energy bottled up in that cute little body of hers. Some of her favorite things to do outside are swing, slide, and play in the water. She sure keeps us going! We love this little thing!
