Ashley + George = BFF

George is a monkey -- he belongs to Mrs. Marcy's Pre-K Class. All of the kids in the class take turns letting George spend the weekend with them. We *finally* got George a few weekends ago and I cannot even begin to describe how EXCITED miss Ashley was when I picked her up from school. She came running to the door of her classroom so excited to tell me that George was coming home with her! We had a lot of fun with George and at the end of the weekend we made a scrapbook page of our weekend with George for Ashley to share with her class. This particular weekend was pretty busy (aren't they all?) because we were driving down to Houston to visit some of our closest friends, The Frey's.
Ashley and George at the Park -- George liked swinging!
Ashley made sure that George was all buckled into his carseat right next to hers.

Go LION QUEENS!

Ashley started playing soccer last fall and is really enjoying her second season on the Lion Queens this spring! She is learning the basics and is having a great time! She's such a cute little soccer player!


Kinsey likes going to the games and watching big sister from her stroller.


The Lion Queens finished up the season UNDEFEATED! Way to go, girls!!!! Looking forward to many more great season with our little miss soccer player!

St. Patty's Day

Kinsey enjoyed her first St. Patrick's Day in style along with Ashley :) Ashley learned about pinching this year for those not wearing green. She had soccer practice and made sure to wear green bows with her pink soccer gear :)

Disney x 4

Yes - we are that nuts...one day after returning from our Cost*aRic*a trip we hopped on another plane to visit Mr. and Mrs. Mouse. To make it even more exciting (I mean crazy) the trip happened to be over Spring Break. Was it crowded you ask? Yes, crowded is an understatement. I almost took a picture one day of the millions of people that stood between me and the stroller and the rest of my family -- but passed (looking back I so wish I had that picture just to prove how crowded it actually was). We had a great time and little miss Kinsey got to meet Minnie for the first time :)
Ashley and her Rapunzel doll. Ashley absolutely LOVES the movie T*angled. She wants to grow her hair out suuuuper long just like Rapunzel's.
Miss Kinsey on the Disn*ey bus headed to our hotel after a long day of traveling...all smiles from this sweet baby!

Our hotel had GINORMOUS items (decorations -- not quite sure what to call them) everywhere. Ashley thought it was so fun to pose her Rapunzel doll on it all :)



Ashley making a monkey poolside. It was crazy windy the entire trip - but trying to keep this monkey and all his parts on the table while she was crafting was quite exciting!

The girls in their matching swimsuits :) love it!
Ashley checking out the fish at the NEMO ride.
Kinsey and Nana
Crazy kids -- making funny faces/poses :)
Poor baby was teething during the trip but did WONDERFUL! She is such a GOOD baby!
And here is miss Ashley after she decided it would be a good idea to stand in front of the dancing fountain and get drenched....oh and by the way it was not a hot day....not even a warm day....crazy girl!

The cousins!
Ashley and Nana on Dumbo -- Ashley's favorite color is pink and she lucked out and got to ride in the Pink Dumbo --- way to go Ash!

Kinsey's first time on 'It's a small world' She loved it...really, she did ;)

Ridin' the carousel.
Getting Chip and Dale to sign their books in tomorrowland.

The girls with Mickey!

This is the best we could do for a family photo....makes me laugh.


Goofy was Kinsey's favorite! She kept trying to get inside his mouth and grab his teeth!! Lol.
Here are the secret agents --- doing ninja moves right after getting their first mission.


Kim P*ossible Mission -- lasted about 15 minutes -- perhaps they are still a bit too young for this one ;)

The Aristocats!

Ashley by Rapunzels tower.
It's Norweigen Ashley!

Ashley and her Build a Dino from the T-Rex Restaurant in downtown Disn*ey. Fun restaurant!
My silly family...
Loved these flowers...I want a backyard like this...
My girls and their princess dresses!




Ashley's favorite ride is by far the Teacups! She loves to spin and spin and spin...definitely gets that from daddy and not mommy!



Meeting Rapunzel for the first time!






And Ariel and Prince Eric.
Notice that she is holding Kinsey's Little Merma*id doll --- haha, I thought this was so funny! We bought Rapunzel for Ashley and Ariel for Kinsey ---- yet when the girls met both characters Ashley took credit for both dolls ;) SOO CUTE!

Ashley's up there w/ her tongue out..silly girl :)

We had breakfast in the castle with the princesses. Ashley loved it!
This picture cracks me up b/c right when Ashley saw Sn*ow White she decided to cram about 3 strawberries into her mouth...lol...funny picture...Eric and I just looked at each other and laughed.
Sleeping Beauty

Ariel

Belle with Kinsey -- she was the only one who paid much attention to Little Miss Kinsey Claire -- so she is Kinsey's favorite!
