Happy Girl

Tinsley is so happy!  She is constantly smiling and will smile for the camera if you tell her "cheese"(unless she is busy doing something more fun).

We are working REALLY hard at kicking the bottle habit and trying to use a sippy cup or straw.  As you can see, someone is not ready to give up the death grip she has on her bottle.

Welcome Blake!

Blake arrived on March 18th.  She is healthy, perfect and absolutely beautiful!  We are so excited for Kyle and Desiree.  

Tinsley could not get enough of Blake.  She kept saying "Oh, baby"

Gran and Blake

Tinsley kept hugging her and hugging her

 

Congratulations to Kyle and Desiree!  We couldn't be happier for you.  Blake, we already love you so much!!!!

Your hair is sticking up!

Long before Tinsley was born, I used to tell Toby that I hoped our kids would have his hair and nails.  His hair grows really fast and so do his nails.  If I trim my hair 1/2 an inch, I swear it takes a year for it to grow back.  My nails also grow really slow.  Tinsley definitely has Toby's hair and nails.  It grows really fast.  BUT, she also got Toby's cowlicks.  Toby loves to tell Tinsley in the mornings that her hair is sticking up.  Toby is in Fort Worth for work this week, so we sent him a few pictures this morning.  I titled them "Dad, is my hair sticking up?"

Tinsley is her daddy made over.  I love it!!!

Camp Jellystone

We spent this past weekend at Camp Jellystone.  It is only about an hour away from our house, so it was the perfect weekend getaway.  Tinsley had so much fun and we can't wait to go back.

 

We just so happened to be going by Clear Springs. 

We decided that yummy onion rings and seafood would be the perfect start to our weekend.

Tinsley has not been in the fifth wheel too much since she was really little.

She LOVED it.  We will definitely be doing more camping.

Tinsley insisted that she be the ONLY one to walk Eagan.

The campground has a heated indoor pool as well as an outdoor pool.

We did not use the outdoor pool as it is still pretty cool.

Tinsley had a BLAST at the indoor pool.

 

The "jumpy pillow" was a hit.

 

More fun in the fifth wheel

 

 

Tinsley enjoyed a slurpee during our "hay" ride.

Playing outside while dad barbecues.

We had so much fun and can't wait to go back.  This trip was kind of a last minute idea.  We hope to plan ahead better next time.  Hopefully some of our friends will be able to join us.  We would definitely recommend the park.  There is so much fun stuff to do!!!

 

 

 

 

Lucky Charm

When you are this cool- who needs luck?

Practice makes perfect!

Tinsley loves shooting baskets!  Correction- Tinsley LOVES how we all clap and cheer like maniacs after she makes a basket.  High fives are then given out to all of her adoring fans. :-)

Mom Mom and DD's #1 helper

The weather has been beautiful!  Tinsley has enjoyed helping

Mom Mom and DD rake leaves today.

Sweet Cousins

Tinsley and Calley- so sweet!

Growing up so fast

Tinsley looks so grown up today in her polo shirt and jeans. 

Time is flying! 

There is not much baby left about Tinsley. 

She is turning into such a big girl.

Bathtub Fun

Tinsley loves to take a bath.  She can now climb into the bathtub.  We have to really watch her.  Today we were playing dress up with her jewelry in her room and she walked into the bathroom and climbed into the tub fully clothed.

She loves the water. 

I think this summer she will have a big time in the pool.

I will probably be in trouble for this one someday,

but I think those are the cutest little "cheeks" ever. :-)

Little Monkey

This little monkey has been enjoying the weather outside today.

Work, Work, Work

Tinsley's work is never done!  She is constantly at my computer, at Toby's computer, or carrying around a calculator.  She was even busy working this morning before church.

Happy little worker
