Christmas Pictures at Church

Mary and Lani

Preston with Lani


This is the first time Preston actually sat still for a picture with Lani. We have tried several times at different holidays. Isn't he a cutie?

Before the Program

The best puppy in the whole wide world!

She loves to pose, doesn't she?

Christmas Program and School

Our little family

Zoey, Kendra and George came to see Lani.

Lani had her Christmas Program Friday night. They sang songs and Lani was not shy this year like she was last year. They even had a spot set up to take photos at the end.

Girls Day Out

Lani and Kenzie acting silly as usual

My mom and Lani bug

Back in October we had a girls day out with my mom and Kenzie. It was so much fun shopping together and just hanging out.

Cousins

Lani and Aubrey. She is such a sweetie!

Lani and Aiden. So handsome!

Lani and Maddy. They play well together

Look....

Look what Santa left under our tree! Oh wait! It's just Simone. She loves to lay under the tree. Silly girl.

Daddy/Daughter Weekend

She wouldn't go by Chuck E. Cheese without him

I had to go out of town for my work's annual state convention. I left Friday morning and got back last night. This year it was in Fort Worth. While I was gone, Lani and daddy had a lot of time together. It looks like they had a lot of fun, though. Boy did I miss them!

Ard Family Thanksgiving

Here are most of the Ard Family, my step-family. My dad has 4 sisters and a brother. There are 6 Ard siblings. Most already have grandchildren. We are missing about 15 people in this picture. What a group!

How many kids can you fit in a single stroller?

Apparently three! Thank you Heather and Preston for letting them ride along :-)

Fair Time Again!

Preston wasn't too sure about the monkey

Fishing game

Lani (and us too) had a blast at the fair this year. This was her first year to ride some of the kiddie rides. We ran into some friends there and had fun hanging out with other couples. It was a great night!

Pumpkin Patch

Happy Fall Ya'll

The pumpkin she painted

Lani and I went to a Pumpkin Patch in the rain last Saturday. We still had fun! It is also a Christmas Tree Farm, so we were able to see all the future christmas trees.

Two More

Picture Time

Lani took pictures at daycare. It was so hard to choose which ones to buy!

Labor Day Weekend

We had family come in from Louisiana for the weekend. Lani thoroughly enjoyed playing with her Cousin Maci. They don't get to see each other near enough. The girls played very well together. I was so proud of them. Maci is only 2 months older than Lani, but look how tall she is :-)

Tonsils are GONE

Lani had her tonsils taken out last week. She was a real champ and did so well. I'm really proud of her. She is coming along great in her recovery. Thanks for all the prayers and concerns.

Our Weekend

Peter Piper's Pizza.

My mom took Kenzie, Lani and I to Peter Piper's on Saturday to have a late celebration of Kenzie's 6th birthday. We had a lot of fun! After that Lani and I went to the mall and got our toes done. It was a great girls day!

Bedtime Story

Dressed Up

Lani looked so grown up in her new outfit! Where does the time go?
