Happy Thursday!!
Last night, we had Smith’s first baseball game of the season, and it was so much fun! I just love watching my boy play baseball :). So, that’s the most exciting thing in our lives lately…and here are a few random pics of other bits of life lately…
On Saturday, we had brunch at our favorite little diner. Love my peeps so much!
After brunch, I followed these guys back to the car. Do you see Ashby marching? She likes to say “march, march, march” as she stomps around. It is so funny! I think Kensington taught her this. She pretty much says it anytime she’s walking anywhere with a purpose…march, march, march.
We stopped for a pic :).
On Sunday, the girls wanted to match for church. Kensington told me their outfits were laid out in their rooms…and sure enough, when I went up there, both girls had their little matching dresses and gold shoes laying out. Ashby’s pant leg is my favorite part of this pic :).
On Sunday afternoon, Smith took a break from playing baseball in the backyard and watched a movie on his iPad…in his shorts…with his snow boots on. He is so sweet. I wish I could bottle up five year old Smith and save it forever.
Just a Monday at the grocery store.
On Tuesday, Ashby and I met Narci for lunch. Ashby ate a bacon and avocado egg burrito and then a container of salsa. This girl might have been born in China but her taste-buds were made for Tex-Mex!
Later that afternoon, I went to do some work and saw this when I sat down on the couch with my laptop…I love finding little signs of kid life in my house…especially, when they’re away at school. The ponies made me smile :).
I love this Astro :).
After the game, he told me it was a great day because he had a blue Gatorade :). Five year old boy life.
That’s life lately.
What’s for dinner tonight? Pizza Quesadillas…
…click here for the recipe.

Your life seems so perfect right now. You are my idol and I want to be just like you. I know you have had trouble in the past, but things worked out.
Mix and Match Mama says
Haha! Not perfect…I just really try and find joy and contentment amongst the mess. Thank goodness for Christ who gives me peace.
Narci says
Smith in his uniform is probably my favorite!! So cute!!!
Erika Slaughter says
So glad the blue Gatorade was a hit! I panicked a little about them being able to handle that much drink so late at night! Guess they're growing up. Wahhhh!
Haley Southey says
Not orange gatorade Smith!? Haha!
Kensington and Smith are the sweetest! Love that she picked out their outfits!
adrienne says
Love the ponies! I, too, love finding little signs of the kids around the house~except when it's stinky boys socks hidden behind the couch pillows:)
Andrea (127things) says
There isn't anything much cuter than a little boy in a baseball uniform! Our season doesn't start until May! Loved all of these pics!! Have a great day!

Somehow I feel like baseball season in TX is better than it is up here in WA. It's our rainy season, do I forsee many wet, soggy games in the near future! I keep telling the hubby we should move to TX so we don't have to deal with the constant rain outs! ? Your little guy is just the cutest in his uniform!

So happy you are enjoying such wonderful time with your family. Ashby seems to have really been adjusting well – and that is because you all have been so welcoming and so loving towards her! What a blessed thing.
Happy Thursday!

So incredibly cute. Signs of kid-life are my favourite…then I have to clench my fists and walk away trying not to tidy them up!!

You are doing a great job savoring the moments when your kids are little–they really do grow up so fast!

Little girls are great, I have one who is now 11, but there is absolutely no one more charming in this entire world than a 5 year old boy!
Melissa Kelly says
Ashby is just precious! I love that the girls wore matching outfits to church and that blue gatoraid makes Smith happy. It totally is the little things in life that make up the big things.

I have never seen a car cart so clean. Ha! Ours at the grocery store always look filthy. Love sibling pictures in them, though! My five year old's baseball team last year was the Astros 🙂

Love these darling pics…and you're raising that girl right with the TexMex. Of course I honed in on your outdoor pillow…LOVE!

I have a 5 year old boy too – also born in January! There is something so sweet and amazing about a 5 year old boy…Im sad just thinking about him moving past this stage! So fun watching another mom have similar experiences with her little man too – thanks for sharing your Smith with us!

I love that Smith's baseball uniform pants leg is pulled up exactly like Ashby's – left leg and everything! The picture of him in shorts & snow boots is adorable. Kensington is absolutely beautiful! Look forward to your blog every day!
