The best part of New Orleans!

The minute Steve and I decided to go to New Orleans over Spring Break, I started dreaming about this place! They have the best beignets I've ever had!

I just couldn't wait to get there!

Ok, so they don't necessarily look pretty, but I assure you, they are phenomenal!

Even Steve agrees with me! Have you ever been to Cafe Du Monde? What did you think?

Easter

We hope you had a Happy Easter! We had a wonderful time together, the three of us, and then a great afternoon with friends! I have many more pictures to come, but I thought I'd share a few.

This is Kaythlen before church. Go figure, all the curl fell out of her hair! She had a great time in the nursery and we were blessed with a wonderful message!

Kaythlen being silly!

More silly Kayt. Steve says she looks just like me here. I don't see it. I still think she's his twin!

Here is one of the flower arrangements I made for my friend's doors. She has double front doors, and the other one looks a lot like this one. She and her husband were nice enough to have us over for Easter dinner. Please excuse her husbands rear end in this picture. He thinks he's funny! Guess he's been hanging out with Kayt!

Hunting eggs!

This is one of my favorite action shots! Thanks to all the family and friends who made this Easter so special!

Nawlins!

My sweet husband got me a trip to New Orleans for my birthday. We had both been multiple times, but we'd never gone down there together. This was the view from our hotel room!

And this is Bourbon Street during the day.

And this is the view of Bourbon at night!

It was a great break and a wonderful escape from reality for a little while. Steve's mom was an angel and came to keep Kayt for us! And boy, did Kayt love her Meme time! I have more pics of New Orleans to come! Stay tuned!

Turtle Feathers

Look what Kaythlen got in the mail today! One of my best friends and her mom have started making hats, flower bows, and tutus! And Kaythlen was in heaven! She couldn't wait to get it on, so we went outside and took pictures.

I love this one!

The wind blew right before I snapped this one. I love her smile! She loved these so much, I might have to get them to make her some more! Thanks Rae and Mrs. Bonnie!

Happy St. Pat's!

Kaythlen woke up this morning (like every morning) excited about what she gets to wear! She's such a girl! I love it! I explained to her that it was St. Patrick's Day so she got to wear her shirt with green clovers on it. She asked me if it was Spring yet, and I told her it was almost Spring, but it as just St. Patrick's Day. She proceeded to do her "clover" dance, which just involved lots of shaking of multiple body parts (she dances a lot like her Daddy these days).

Every girl needs a St. Patty's Day bow, right?

I thought she looked awfully cute! And I even remembered to wear something green too! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Weekend Woes

While I would have loved to spend my weekend this way . . .

I spent it doing this . . .

All for the price of this!

Gotta love it when Poppy does taxes! Thank you, Dad!

There she is . . .

My little Miss Arkansas (or Mississippi)! Kaythlen racked up on dress up items this weekend. Steve and I realized that of all her toys, the dress up stuff is what she uses the most. We decided if she was willing to use it, and if she was a good girl, we'd hit the stores. Apparently, she was REALLY good!

She has tiaras, sashes, scepters, microphones, shoes, earrings, rings, and the list goes on and on!

I think she just makes the cutest queen!
