Recap of March 2013

I don't know why, but I don't get a whole lot of pictures in January and February.  I'm thinking that it may be because from Summer through Christmas I'm constantly snapping pictures.  I think January and February are break time for me from having my camera permanently attached to my face. 

Once March gets here, I'm ready to break out my camera yet again.  Get ready for a ride on the wild side.  It was a crazy, busy month for us.

It's crawfish season!!!!  When spring rolls around in S.E. Texas and S.W. Louisiana, we break out the crawfish pots and crank up the Cajun music.  This is us at Larry's French Market.  Love it!

Spring Break is in March - a teacher's favorite time of the year.  Not only do we have a week off, but the countdown begins for the end of the school year. Here's what we did:

I brought the girls to Bounce Zone for some fun outside of the house.  I couldn't get them to both be still, so all of the pictures I have of them together, one of their faces is blurry.

They love the big slide.  It's Katie's jumper thingie of choice.  Kinsley got to play on this for the first time. 

Can you tell by the look on her face that she absolutely had a blast???  They ask to go back every weekend.

Worn out!

The next day we invited my niece, Breanna, over to go to The Heritage Festival, for rides and good food.

My other niece came with her parents.  Excited much???

This one cracks me up.  My niece, Breanna, the drama queen.

Both of my babies rode this thing.  I just knew that they were going to freak out and want off,

but they loved it.

My sister, Breanna's mother, showed up with her two youngest girls.  This is Journey, my sweet 1 year old miracle baby.  She gives the best slobbery kisses.

Kinsley and Chloe - 9 months apart.  Best friends for life.

The carousel is Daddy's job.  It goes way too fast for me and makes my stomach turn.  Plus, I'm too short to keep Kinsley up there when the horse goes up.

Kinsley's first time on the ferris wheel.  You can't tell by her face in this picture, but she LOVED it.  She kept standing up and hollering down to her Daddy to look at her.  It was so stinkin' cute.

The following Saturday, after Spring Break, we had a crawfish boil to celebrate my

dear hubby's 36th birthday.

Kinsley with my newest niece, Ava.

What we do to entertain 7 little girls.

We love our crawfish!

Eben's birthday present.  He got all kinds of goodies in this Bud Light box, plus a fridge full of beer. 

Eben's requested birthday cookie.  He likes the cookie and we like the icing.  We compromise.

That week of school was our Easter parties.  I got to sneak over to Katie's class and take a picture of her while my class was going back in after their Easter egg hunt.  I hated missing her party,

but what can you do?

Since we were off for Good Friday, my sister invited us over to barbeque and dye Easter eggs.

Once they were dry, they wanted to eat the eggs. 

The Easter Eve we always do our own Easter eggs for the Easter Bunny to hide for us.  I love this picture of Miss Katie.

Daddy's job is to help with the eggs while I sit back and document it. 

 Momma is always behind the camera. 

Miss Kinsley wasn't feeling good and ended up falling asleep before we started dying eggs.  I was so sad that she was missing it, but she really didn't feel good.

That was March for us.  I'll be posting separately about Easter.  I took 500 pictures Easter Sunday.  It's going to be so hard to choose the ones I want to use.

What a Fun and Exciting Day!

We did more today than we've done all week.  Let's start from the beginning.  My last post stated that I FINALLY cleaned Kinsley's room and took out her winter clothes.  I've still got to bag them up and ship them all off to my sister for her little girl. 

My best friend from high school, Nikki, brought her 6 year old over for a playdate.  We haven't seen eachother in a while and our kiddos haven't seen each other in 2 years.  We had a lot of catching up to do.  We started off by going out to eat.  I chose Chili's because it's close to Wal-Mart and we needed to get the girls some cheap swimsuits.  I love, love, love Chili's. 

Kinsley giving me her "cheese" face.

Katie and Camdyn coloring.  They were so cute playing together.  They even started singing Adele's song, Someone Like You.  They were cracking us up, because they don't really know the words to the song.  They have the right tune and rhythm, but that's about it.

One of my dearest, oldest friends.  We've been friends since the sixth grade.  That is 19 years...WOW!!!

The girls being silly at Wal-Mart.  We got the cutest bathing suits.  I also bought some spring/summer clothes for both girls.  Kinsley is excited because I never by her clothes except for her birthday and Christmas.  She gets Katie's old clothes and her cousin's old clothes.  She was thrilled!!!

Look how stinkin' cute that bathing suit is.  It's was $10...yep, that's it.  I fell in love with it when I saw it.

Kinsley's is super cute too.  It gave her a droopy bottom though.  She'll grow into it....I hope.

After the Splash Park, we went home and rested while we waited for Daddy to get home from work.  Kinsley took a nap and Katie drove me crazy while asking every 5 minutes when we would be leaving to go to the festival.  She has been waiting all week.  The bad thing about making her wait to go to the festival all week, is that we live right down the road from it.  We can hear the screams from the rides when we step out our back door.

Once we got to the festival, Katie had to ride the pony.  She looks like she's having a blast, right?

Poor Kinsley had to sit and watch.  She was too little to ride.

Kinsley wasn't too little to ride the carousel.  Daddy has to ride it with them.  It makes me sick.  Plus, I'm too short to stand next to them.  I alost dropped Katie when she was little.  Never again.

This child scarfed down the bloomin' onion.  She would pull the crust off and eat the onion.  She was the last one eating and cried when I finally took it from her.

We also ate boudain balls.  YUM!!!  Momma and babies love some boudain.

He's a silly daddy.

Katie and I rode the ferris wheel.  She got on it like she had ridden one all of her life.  She even sat on the other side from me, and she talked the entire time.

I had to add this one.  I had one of those, "Oh no, my baby is growing up!" moments.  She looks so grown up here.  I can see a very big kid in her face.  Made me a little sad.

Kinsley was great the entire time we were there, but when I took her out of the stroller...

She got so mad at me.  She would not look at me and even turned around and put her back to me.  I knew then that it was time to hit the road and go to bed.

As we were walking to the exit, Katie wanted to ride the big, fun slide.  She walked up and rode down all by herself.  Wow!  My baby isn't a baby anymore.

We had a very fun, exhausting day.  I wonder what tomorrow will bring?
