My Little Man - Nolan

O.K. so I posted a post on my sweet little girl, so I thought I needed a post for my little man. Nolan is truly all BOY. He loves to play baseball and racquetball with his daddy. He also LOVES to watch and play wrestling. He LOVES big monster trucks, motorcyles and everything that is a boy thing, as he likes to say it. As some of you know Kyle has a dirt bike. Well Kyle told me that when Nolan started wanting one of his own then it was time to sell his. Well, Nolan has been asking for a dirt bike just like daddys for his birthday. I looked at Kyle and said "well, it looks like it is time to sell your bike." Kyle looks at me and says, "oh I don't think so". He loves to crawl up in my lap and tell me stories about what he did at school (daycare) and how he was such a good boy. He tells me he loves me NO MATTER WHAT. He is growing up way too fast for me to think about. He will be 4 in July and I just can't wrap my mind around him starting BIG BOY SCHOOL in a year. Where does time go. He is my sweet little man and I love him to death. I don't have brothers so this little man thing is all new to me. I can't dress him like I want to because he thinks he looks like a baby. He likes getting his hair cut like A BIG BOY and I don't like that. Meaning getting it SHAVED OFF. He stays very close to his daddy at all times, but he loves giving me hugs and sugar nose like he has done his entire little life. I guess you could say is his a momma's baby, but he loves his daddy with his whole heart. I am so glad I have a Nolan, Mamie and Kyle to call my own. They are my life, my world and my everything.

My sweet little girl

Mamie has been asking me lots of questions about GOD. She asked me yesterday why we weren't missionaries and why we couldn't go to Mexcio and spread the word of Jesus? I told her that maybe one day when she gets a little older she could go on a mission trip and she could tell all the people about GOD. She laughed and said "well I guess if I were a missionary then you would miss me, so I guess that is why we aren't missionaries". I didn't have the heart to tell her if WE WERE ALL missionaries then WE WOULD ALL be together. She said "that would be so nice." Then she asked "when you and daddy went to Mexico last year did you tell people about GOD?" I told her no and then she wanted to know why we didn't because people need to know that God is GREAT and that he heals the sick and that he is wonderful and he answers your prayers and the list went on an on. She told me that she believes in GOD because without GOD then she wouldn't be here. O.k. so I am driving down the street listening to all she has to say about GOD and JESUS and how he is so good and I wonder to myself HOW LUCKY AM I to have such a sweet, kind hearted little girl. She thinks of others (sometimes) before she thinks of herself. She also wanted to know when she would be able to see grandmother Mamie again. I told her when she went to heaven grandmother Mamie would be waiting on her. She sat there for a second or two and said "well momma, I know that she is an angel and she is watching us right now." I said "that is right". She told me that she is learning so much about GOD from CC Ranch and her Sunday School Class and she couldn't wait to go to VBS at our Church next week. She is the most precious thing to me. I will have to say that she, Nolan and Kyle are the most precious things to me and I am so glad they are in my life and they call me Mom and Wife...

11 years plus

Kyle and I have been married for 11 years tomorrow, but we have been together for 17 years. I am so truly blessed to have this man in my life.

FLIP FLOPS FUNDRAISER:

Fundraiser for Hayden's Hoppers, a team of friends, family, and volunteers that raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation with the expectation that one day, Hayden and thousands of other kids will not have to go through the daily hardships of diabetes.

The best part of this fundraiser is that you can get your summer wardrobe ready while supporting a great cause. Who doesn't need a great pair of flip flops? But you need to hurry, we will have 2 weeks to get our orders in, and then approximately 2 weeks later we will have the shoes. The shoes fit pretty true to size in length, and they are a little wider than average flip flops. They do not guarantee the size/style will be in stock, as they only stock once a year. For that reason, the vendor suggests going ahead and ordering as soon as possible, which is why we are placing a 2 week time limit to order.

To order, email Nikki at nikkisimmons30@yahoo.com or call her at 601-955-9283. The last day to order is Tuesday, March 31. Just email me your name, style shoe you want, and the size. If you have an alternate style you like, email that too, just in case they are out of the one you want. The flip flops are $20 a pair, and the proceeds go to Hayden's Hoppers Team for JDRF. Thanks!

Now for the great styles!

i couldn't post a picture of hayden, but he is the cutes little red headed you have ever seen. he is only four years old and he as been dealing with this for about two or three years now. i thought these flip flops were so cute i ordered a pair for me and mamie.

o.k. so i haven't updated in awhile

i just haven't had that much to talk about or share. on top of that i really don't think people read or if what i type even is worth typing. so i will in a nut shell let whomever reads tell you what the ainsworth family has been up to.

1st of all we went to pascagoula, ms for mardi gras. i haven't been back home for a parade in sometime now and we had a blast. a very dear friend came along for the trip and i really think she enjoyed herself. mamie and nolan i am guessing had a good time at the parade. nolan was way to busy making sure NO BODY got any of the little toys that were thrown to him and mamie was just loving life.

waiting on the parade to begin.

nolan eating a moonpie. he sure did like those things.. plus he held on to everything that was thrown to him.

mother and mamie looking over all that they caught.

mamie with all her beads.....

trying to get a family photo..... these are always fun...

dear friends, maryanna, me and myrtle.........

at the end of the day we had some yummy crawfish....

until next year, see ya...................

look what i just did....

o.k. i have been trying to do this for sometime now and finally have figured how to APPLIQUE. it might not be a big deal for some, but it is a little harder than you think. you really have to watch what you are doing. anyway, i am home with mamie today because she has a very bad cold.
i decided not to put the heart straight and did it a little sideways.

then i decided to put a smaller on the back. i will have to say i think it turned out very cute.
