Bluebonnets 2014

On Saturday we made our second annual day trip to Brenham with my parents to see the bluebonnets!  Texas may not be the most beautiful place to live the majority of the year, but it sure is something special in the Spring!  It's never easy to get a picture with both kids (or all four of us) smiling, but I think we got a few good ones!    

 I just love how Georgia Kate is kicking her legs in this one!  She was so excited. :)

Strawberries!

Today we went to Blessington Farms with some friends!  Chris and I took the kids in the Fall and loved it, so I knew I wanted to come back in the Spring!  The weather was gorgeous.  We played for a little while and then picked strawberries!  It was a lot of fun!  They have to clip the strawberries with scissors and Reid has never used scissors, but he actually did great!  After we picked strawberries we had a little picnic before heading home.  These are the kind of things I used to think I would never be able to do by myself with two kids, so I was pretty proud! ;)

This is typical Reid… always a little skeptical.  I don't blame him for being skeptical of the chickens though. ;)

 His favorite part was the train ride!  We did this in the Fall too!

 My little strawberry babies :)

I have been really impressed with Blessington Farms both times we've been!  It's relaxing, low-key, and everyone is super friendly.  It's just a great place for young kids!  

the longest post ever about nothing

I was so excited when I found this adorable burlap bunny garland at Target for $5!  This is about the extent of our Easter decorations!

I am really excited about Georgia Kate's new high chair!  I copied the idea from a friend.  We got rid of our other one (the one I just had to have before Reid was born).  The old one was way too hard to keep clean and there were way too many places where food could get stuck.  It was just gross.  Our new one is a very cheap, very simple one from IKEA and I ordered the monogram sticker from Etsy!  Some may think monogramming a high chair is slightly over the top, and they might be right, but I think it turned out cute! More importantly, I love that this is the easiest high chair ever to keep clean.

Santa finally delivered Georgia Kate's doll!  I was beginning to think he was going to need to give it to the Easter bunny.  I love it and hope she does too!

I decided to display Georgia Kate's "going home bonnet" in her room and I love it!

Lately, I have found myself stressed out about whether or not our daughter will continue going by her double name.  People always ask, "So do you call her Georgia or Georgia Kate?"  They just want to know what they are supposed to call her, but I really don't know!  I intended for her to have a double name when she was born, but now I call her Georgia Kate, Georgia, Peachy/Peaches, GK…  I mean, I need to decide so that her teacher will know what to write on her name tag in a few years! :) This is an important matter.

Courtney, one of my oldest and dearest friends, had her precious baby girl last week!  Penelope Jane is so beautiful!  It is so special to experience moments like this with lifelong friends!

Here are a few other random pictures from the last few weeks…

I could eat her up.  I also look at this picture and think that my daughter doesn't even look related to me.  

"I try not to hit the tee! I got to work on it!"

Sibling love

Chris and Reid went to run some errands and came back with this water balloon kit.  It has provided a lot of entertainment for both of them!

Peaches and her Poppies :)

Reid and Annabelle snuggling

We tried out the double cart at HEB!  They loved sitting by each other!

Oh this boy.  Always has to gig 'em.  

This was the morning after Georgia Kate SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT for the first time!  It's only happened a couple of times since then, but I'll take what I can get!  Doesn't she look so pleased with herself?

Have you ever seen a more pitiful face?

 He is looking way too grown up for my liking these days.  

Also, I love when people share recipes, so I wanted to share this one!  We have made these baked fajitas a few times (including tonight) and they are SO good and SO easy!
