Pumpkin Patch 2013

We took Hannah to the pumpkin patch in Youngsville, Hill Ridge Farms.  Here are some of her pictures from then. Yes, Mommy went, but she took all the pictures, and she is only in one picture she took on her phone.

 

 

Exciting news....

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted anything.  The Ayscue family has had some exciting things going on.  We found out on August 8, 2013 we would be having a new addition to our family March 2014.  We are excited that Hannah is going to be a big sister. 

She is getting excited and has learned a new word "baby". It's really funny, when you ask her where the baby is she puts her hands on her belly and says "baby" and smiles and laughs. 

We found out yesterday we will be having another little girl!  We had a gender reveal party at work today for my co-workers; Anthony and I found out first then called our parents, his Grandma and his sister.



Everyone casted their vote before we cut the cake



Meet Baby Pumpkin (that's what we are calling her until we have a solid name picked out)

Hannah Takes Swimming Lessons, Week 1

Hannah has been taking swimming lessons this week.  She has done GREAT!  The teacher said she had never seen such a laid back child.  (We ALL know she MUST have gotten this from her Daddy because she didn't get it from Mommy).  Anyway, the first night she learned how to blow bubbles, then the second night she learned pool entry, the third night she learned to float on her back, and the fourth night she learned how to hold on to the side of the pool (this was pretty much pool safety.)  The big finale every night is to go down the slide.  Hannah actually loves it.

Happy 4th of July



July 4th 2012

 Just a little comparison from last year to this year. It seems to have gone by so fast and Hannah has changed so much!
