Spring Time is Here!!!....

...for now, anyway! Yesterday was a beautiful day. It really made me want to drive to Fayetteville and sit on the patio at Jose's with a big 'ol Margarita. Then...I remembered I now have a child and no babysitter so the next best thing was to visit with good friends about an hour west of OKC! What can I say...doing things like playdates make me a lot happier than fruity drinks outside these day anyway..ha!

I have been patiently waiting for Spring-like weather so that Kate could start wearing some of her cute dresses. Well, we wore our first Spring dress yesterday and she looked so cute!! It's really funny to think about now, but Emily W. gave us (thank you!!!) this dress at one of Kate's baby showers. I had no idea what I was in for at that time...and I had no idea how in love I would be now. Here she is before we left for our big outing. She got all dressed up for Brock.... The bow didn't go with us though. She picked it out of her hair soon after this picture and looked at it as if it was a yucky bug or something. Silly girl!

And here are some pics of the kiddos playing. I don't feel like I got really good pictures...it's hard to keep up with two VERY busy babies. When he would look, she wouldn't and when she would look, he wouldn't. They had a lot fun together...even though Kate needs a lesson in sharing. She stole every toy that Brock had and when he would try to get them back, she would scream and shake the toy so he couldn't get it. I have to admit, I was a little embarrassed and hope Kate doesn't have a bad case of the "MINE's!!". All of this worrying spurred me to start thinking about Mother's Day Out in the Fall so that Kate can mingle with the other babes. I am going to tour a few places on Monday and get her registered soon (the good places fill up quick...I hope there's still room for her)...Kate will love the interaction and hopefully learn how to share...ha!! I also had a great time visiting with Laurie....we really did have fun!! Thank you for having us guys!

Kate had a big time exploring their house. She was particularly interested in the wood holder and the fire place. I love their fireplace...so warm and inviting!Ahhh...my wallet. For some reason, this seems to be an object of Kate's affection. If we're out and about and she gets restless in her stroller, all I have to do is give her the wallet and she's busy with it for a while. Well, Brock tried to see what the wallet was all about today and Kate nearly came unglued. Poor Brock...you could see the fear in his eyes! I had to break the news to him that he was probably going to deal with this kind of behavior from girls for the rest of his life. He didn't seem too upset by my honesty...you can just tell he's going to be quite the sweetie pie to everyone...including demanding little girls..ha!

Hope you all have a great weekend! We are going to get outside some today and get ready for Brad to return home this afternoon. We've missed him a lot!!
