just plain random.

these are all totally random. but, since i will print this out for them, that's ok.

ains- you're not a fan of "outside noises".....any of them. it started this spring, which is when i think you first recognized the 'noise' of thunder. and you're not.a.fan. noah on the other hand loves it. you- not.at.all. it sends you crying and sad-faced in the sweetest way straight to my legs with arms up and your sweet voice saying 'up me, up me'. i {secretly} heart that. there was a truck outside that was kinda loud, similar to thunder, and here you are investigating.....

some spring flowers we found at the park, and a sweet butterfly to share too.

and sweet little toes that are mine for awhile. i love baby toes, but i equally love the toes of my own {bigger} babies......

{again, i warned you they were random- so if you're still here- yeah for you! :)}

last day.

mom's day out. what a GREAT concept. we heart mom's day out- especially at noah's ark. best teachers, best fun. and miss ains gets to start next year. which, ultimately for me means every 3rd week on my sunday off i get 4.5 hours TO MYSELF!!! i'm not sure what i will do.....actually i can think of a million things, but- i digress, that's not the purpose of this post. the last day at noah's ark means a fun bike parade. we got a little extra excited about "decorating" our bike this year....noah and nana took a trip to the store to score some fun decor for 'the hot wheel'. and here's the proud little last dayer here. a job well done. who knew pipe cleaners could offer such fun. and the bike horn that they selected- i'm sure his teacher miss sandy was real appreciative of it......

and not to miss out on said party is ains on 'the pink panther'

fall, spring and summer means walking to 'school' with daddy. they LOVE this- and even better since they got to ride to school.

{and by ride i meant ainsley was pushed on her bike, and noah was pulled.....}

{another little to watch the parade with}

miss sandy

rain = worms = a very curious ainsley

mom's day 2010.

"what day is 'kid's day' mommy?" is what i heard all.day on mother's day this year. my noah, wondering when we could celebrate 'kid's day'.....ummmm, i'm pretty certain {make that absolutely certain} that we do all sorts of kid-loving activities almost every day. so, we reviewed all the things we do together during the week, and he has since decided that "every day except one day" is 'kid's day'. very good my friend. and i assume we'll re-visit this very conversation when we celebrate daddies in about a month.

this might have been a pretty good picture. except my ROOKIE MISTAKE. nice tree branch directly in front of noah's face. seriously. of course i saw it, and once we moved it, ains was having no more pictures in the tree. so, here is what we've got.

here's why we wear things with pockets. don't you carry your drinks around in your pockets? i'm sure i would if my cups also had spill proof lids.....

again, my sweet ains not in the mood for pictures. shocker. this girl has got a mind of her own.....and is not shy about letting you know what is on said independent mind.

we plant flowers at nana's house every year on mother's day. i've lobbied several times to try to get this little shin-dig moved to our casa, but no takers yet. maybe next year.

pink jelly bean fun

this little gal got to hang out with some other little gals for some fashion fun. miss presley's mom has taken up this sweet little sewing hobby, and so we spent an afternoon having fun playing dress up and tea party. sassy pants here did fine, as long as the pics were taken from afar. she was feeling no love for the camera when asked- and exhibited her sassiness. which is exactly what i expected. none the less, we had a great time at our forest tea party with our friends.

bunnies.

ever since meeting hazel this easter, these two are o.b.s.e.s.s.e.d. with bunnies. nana and papa's back yard has had a plethora of bunnies this spring which has worked out nicely for us. and if they aren't in nana and papa's yard, then they are sure to be in the neighbor's yard. there was mention of "keeping one to snuggle with" by noah, however, that is more than definitely not going to happen anytime soon. or maybe ever. we'll settle for watching them run and play, and perhaps sometime again we can snuggle someone else's pet bunny.
