Spring is in the air and wildflowers are blooming, the sun is out, and the wind is blowing. I could do without the wind, but I guess I'll survive. We seem to think it is Spring Break at our house too. We are taking a break from anything productive and have just been playing away this week. On Tuesday we had cousins over that were in town for their Spring break and there were 9 kids running wild in and out of this little house. The walls were bustin! I made pizzas and the kids played while the moms visited. I'm happy to say there were no major injuries besides one sweet 4 year old that accidently rolled in stinging nettle-ouch! This morning we went to George West and played at the park and topped off the visit with the Jostes gang with lunch at Dairy Queen. They have chocolate ice cream yall, it is GOOD. Not all DQ's have chocolate, but if you have a chance, try it-so rich and creamy.
Kinfolk :)
We have a play date tomorrow and are going to a local parade on Friday with friends. Big plans in a small town:)
Miss Ainslee is starting to stand on her own. When she doesn't realize it she can stand for a while. I imagine she'll be walking before we know it. She is so little, not yet 15 pounds, if my scale is correct. She may be 15. She does like to eat so I think she is just going to be a petite thing toddling around. She is now saying Mama which Mama loves! She still likes to growl on occassion which will just crack you up.

Zoom in on this one and check out the leaf falling...pretty sure I just told her NO and to get it out of her mouth.
Lena Kate is a typical 3 year old testing her boundaries. She is a pretty good girl most of the time but can push the limit when she wants too. I'd have to say that she whines much more than I care for. I'm working on that! She loves to sing still and plays well with Ainslee. I just love her so much. I can't wait to see what the future holds for that little firecracker:)

Things are good in the neighborhood and I don't have many deep thoughts to share. I love living in, or rather outside of, a small town. Life is slower and I like it that
way.
Pinterest is killing me with the delicious recipes. I pin bunches of recipes and 99% of them are for desserts-not good for the figure that needs post baby help....almost 9 months post baby! Oh, and the baked chicken creamy taquitos...YUM. I will also add that the cake batter dip is delicious. I just posted some recipes on my blog and you must try the peanut butter balls. Sorry, no pictures with these posts. I guess I better break out my camera more often!
TV-do any of you watch it? I will always watch the Bachelor-good or not, I find it entertaining. I'm ready for the next season of The Bachelorette. I like Emily and wish her well. I watched a new show called Fashion Star and thought it was pretty good. Anybody else enjoy it? I also like America's Next Top Model. I really just like the photo shoots and critique of the pictures...not so much Tyra and the goofiness. Lane says it is the worst show every created. Of course, Say Yes to the Dress on TLC is one of my very favorites. I'll never get tired of looking at wedding dresses!
We've spent lots of time outside these last couple of weeks.
She is a corn eater
I leave you with this one. The boy likes to mug down, but would you believe he really loves Ainlsee more than Lena Kate. I'm sure they will hate us for this in the years to come.

Your tiny little Ainslee reminds me so much of my Sprig! Itty bitty, but determined! Sprig just now hit 20 pounds, she was 15 for FOREVER! Adorable sweet ones you have, friend!
We watched the tail end of the fashion show (I've already forgot what it's called since I clicked on the comment box, haha!) but I thought it was pretty good, too. There are some crazy people with crazy ideas, but I was surprised that some of the styles were actually modest and decent looking! Don't tell him I told you so, but B even watched it. Claimed he liked the bidding part, because it was like an auction. HAHAHA! He also said "Why is Jessica Simpson so chubby?" and I was like, honey, she's pregnant...
