End of March update!

I haven't posted anything in a while, so thought I would add some new pictures.

Yesterday we went to Bremond to celebrate Jeremy's grandparents' birthdays. The weather was amazing and we spent most of the day outside. Jeremy took his fishing pole, so we went back to the pond for a little fishing.

Picking flowers

Off to visit the cows!
Why did they all run from me? :(

Today we had a MOPS playdate at the park. It was SO nice to visit with friends while the kids entertained themselves! Collin had a great time climbing this tree!

Some friends of ours hosted a little get-together for the kids over spring break. We all had so much fun!!


These last 3 pictures are from a trip to the park, earlier this month.

Easter yumminess

Today I indulged in one of my very favorite springtime sweets: a Cadbury Creme Egg.
I have never understood why so many people are repulsed by them. To me, they are heavenly! The sugary sweet ooey-gooey goodness makes my jaw hurt! But oh how I love them! Another favorite of mine is Peeps.

I know they are pure sugar, with a mainly cardboard flavor, covered in a crunchy sugar coating, but I LOVE them! For some reason I like to eat off the "chocolate" eyes first.

Does anyone else out there enjoy these candies, or am I the odd woman out?! :)

Sledding in Texas in March

Today we were so thrilled to attend a birthday sledding party at Mt. Aggie. I never even knew such a place existed around here!! The kids (and I!!) had some serious fun! When we first got there and hiked up the hill, both Collin and Ainsley were crying/whining and a little afraid because it was extremely windy at the top of that hill. The first time down, I rode with Ainsley and Collin rode with another sweet girl there. After that, Collin was on his own!! He wanted to do it all by himself, and by golly did he! There were a few times when he rode down with Ainsley, but mostly he did it on his own. Collin cried when the party was over because he was having such a blast. Here are some pictures from our time there.


Going back up to come back down again!

This is a video of Collin and Ainsley sledding down the hill.



The birthday party let out around the same time as the A&M basketball game, so the traffic was a little crazy. I decided to take FM 2818 around and was glad I did because there was a plethora of bluebonnets on that route! AND Ainsley was awake - Cha-Ching!! Double bonus!

Strike a pose!

Collin's turn!

Today was Collin's first day of soccer this season. He was so anxious to get back out there this time. He did great. Of course Ainsley couldn't understand why she couldn't play too!

Collin's going through a Spider Man phase, and in this picture is "shooting a web."

Yes, Ainsley's bangs are horrendous. I'm growing them out, so this is what I have to deal with until they're long enough to pull back with the rest of her hair!

Miss Pouty Pants

On the way home from soccer we stopped alongside the Hwy 6 feeder road to get some pictures in the bluebonnets. Ainsley was sacked out in the car, so all I got this time was Collin.

Bluebonnets: One of the BEST parts of living in Texas!!!

Ainsley's first day of soccer

Collin has had so much fun playing soccer that I decided to get Ainsley enrolled this season. They are both playing through Hot Shots Soccer and have so much fun! It's not actual soccer games at this point, mostly learning fundamentals through playing. Here are a few pictures from our first day. There's not that many because for most of the time I was out on the field with her. She was being super clingy!

She shoots, she scores!!!


Having fun at the park after soccer
