Birthday Girl ~ 3!

 We decided on a cozy party at home...

 for our Pinkalicious girl... pink balloons, crepe paper, party digs...

 and homemade pinkalicious cupcakes

(delicious! pink velvet recipe here)

 a little furniture rearranging - and wahlaah!  toddler party!

 yes, that's champagne on the table: mimosas for the grown ups! :)

 How many sprinkles can we fit on there?

 What a face!  So dang CUTE.

 what is she thinking right now? contemplating another dose of sprinkles?

 pure sweetness

 ~ Who wants dancing time? ~

 whew!  tuckered out.

"that's so sweet"

Happy Valentines!  (Thank you, Nana)

poop :: a funny word!

There is absolutely, positively, nothing funnier to this girl than the word POOP.  Almost daily she can be heard saying, "mommy - know what's a funny word? (what?) * poop! * baahhaaaaahahah!"

She started out retelling the Paperbag Princess - (using her farm book as a prop) - but who can resist a little tangent when the word poop pops out!

Snapdragon - the second vid is especially for you. xoxo

Girl named Ainsley

I know a girl named daddy...

A favorite song of Ainsley's.... I think it has something to do with daddy's natural dancing ability. :)

Snow Day

A little late getting this posted --

From Rachel

Rach - thank you so very much!  Who knew that her purple slinky was lonely until you sent its friend (or mommy?)!  The horses have traveled in my purse on many an outing and the baby blankets are used daily.
(sorry so late to post this - I know it was your Christmas Box!) xoxo

Dreamin' About Work

Ains overheard Jasper telling me about a bad dream he had in which Nancy Pelosi was prominent.  For days, Ains would randomly state that daddy dreams about Nancy.  Nancy Pelosi.  It sounds so funny coming from her toddler mouth!

initial sound substitution and rhyming -- and just plain FUN

Hangin' Out

Oh my, I haven't posted in a month!  I've been limiting my time on the computer lately, but I do apologize for the delay!  Let's begin some catching up....

Jake - such a good sport!

nice look, Mac

always.  ALWAYS.

She dressed herself.  Came downstairs this way after a "nap".
