NOLAN THOMAS AINSWORTH

I can't believe I will be registering my little man for K-5 tomorrow. He will graduate from Frist Baptist Ridgeland on May 19th. He will start a different afterschool care place in July as well. Lots of changes for my little man. I have talked to him about going to big boy school and the differen afterschool care and he seems very excited about it. He says that all of his friends will be there with him and he will learn and play all day long. It just brakes my heart because all of his friends from daycare will be going to different schools and I am sure they will be going back to FBR for afterschool care. I haven't talked to him about that just yet. He is just growing up way to fast for me.

APPLI * K * IT

O.K. here it is.... I have thought and thought about this for a couple of months now and just decided to go with it. If I don't make it then I don't make it, if I do make it then WOW... I can't believe it. I am started to really start doing appliqueing for people lately so I thought, well since I am making a little bit of side money then why not start doing it for others. A friend of mine and I (she paints and I will post her site) have decided that we are going to do the PARKWAY HILLS UNITED METHODIST CHURCH - SPRING FEST - ON APRIL 24th. I have been ordering things and buying fabric and just now getting a little, well very OVERWHELMED at how much all of this takes. Now I know why things are so expensive if they are hand made. Anyway, so there you have it, it is out in the open.. APPLI * K * IT is just now starting to get up and running. I have some pictures on my fb if you ever want to see them just click on photos "MY HOBBY", if you are not my friend and you and want to see them send me a message telling me that you want to look and I will be glad to friend you. I am not sure if I will be doing an APPLI * K * IT blog or website, I will just have to wait and see where this leads me. Oh, here is my friends blog with her paintings... some cute stuff so check it out: Oopsiedaisiedesigns.blogspot.com this is painted stuff by Nicole Hayman.......

So I will need prayers that I get through all this. I know I will, again I am just very overwhelmed right now, but I know once I start this it will run smoothly.

oh, my

o.k. so my last post is a rambling post.. i didn't even understand half of it and i am the one who wrote it. hahaha. hopefully you will understand it.

the point was some other girls and i, sewed as many skirts as we wanted, and we are sending them to the little girls in Haiti because of course we all know they have nothing.

i am not a writer at all so don't judge my wording... i think that is why i stopped doing the my blog in the first place.

amy has a wonderful sense of humor and that is what makes you laugh.... tha is why i say her blog will make you laugh. it is late for me, so i guess i will go to bed now....

SKIRTS FOR HAITI..............

i came across a blog not to long ago and it said " SEWING SEED" it caught my attention. she got the idea from another blog that she follows. i read it and she was asking for anyone that wanted to help with sewing skirts for little girls in Haiti just email her and she would give you all the information that you need to do this. so i emailed her. first of all let me tell you how sweet this person is. i have followed her blog and her sewing blog (i will list it in the end of this post). i have talked to her a couple of times and she is such a sweet person. anyway, back to what i was saying, so i emailed her got the information about the skirts and made two sweet skirts for little girls in Haiti.... i had been wanting to do something anything and when i came across this, i knew i could do it.. i delivered them to her house today and she is going to ship them to the other girl that is heading this up and then the girl is going to have all the skirts that have been made to Haiti. i am just so proud of myself that first of all that i know how to sew and second i did something for someone else. i wish i could see those little faces when those boxes of skirts that we all sewed with such love and caring for these little girls. you know every little girl loves getting a new dress or a new skirt. i will post pictures of the two skirts that i did later. the blogs i am talking about that i follow is browniegoose.blogspot.com and her personal blog amysnorris.blogspot.com so check them out. i am sure you will get a good laugh at her personal blog. her little girl is the cutest.... THANKS AMY FOR DOING THIS.....

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...

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!

Flip flop 1 Flip flop 2

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.

NO MORE PULL UPS!!!

Mamie is out of pull ups at night and I am sooooooooo happy about that. A year ago or so Mamie wanted to try and stop wearing them at night, but she would have an accident in the middle of the night and come get in my bed. Anyway, this past Sunday she came running in my room and said she didn't have anymore pull ups. I said well just go get one of Nolans and I will get you some tomorrow. So she came back in my room with big tears in her eyes and said this things are too small, I don't want to wear them. I said well you don't have any and I am not going to the store at this time of night to get you any. She started crying just a little bit more. Then she looked up at me with her BIG BLUE eyes and said you know what, I want to try and get out of these pull ups once and for all. So she ran off and told Kyle about it. She was so happy about it. My sister and I were talking about this over Christmas because her little girl was and is going through the samething. She said what she would do is make her go to the potty before bedtime and then she would wake her up and walk her into the bathroom around 12 or so and make her sit on the potty (now the child had no idea she was doing this), then she would do it again around 3 or so. Margaret Ellis no longer wears them. So Mamie had in her mind she wanted to do the same thing. So this past week we have been doing just that. Making her go around 11 or so, then again around 2 and it has worked. She has been so happy in the morning that her bed isn't wet and she doesn't have a pull up on. Last night Nolan fell asleep with us and I put him in his bed around 12:30, so I got Mamie up and walked her to the potty. Is is so funny to watch her walk in there, she doesn't even know she is walking. I or we forgot to get her back up around 3, I was so worried she had an accident, so I walked in her room to wake her up and she said very happily I MADE IT ALL NIGHT LONG AND DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO GET UP AND GO TO THE POTTY. I just laughed and asked her if she didn't remember me getting her up and going and she said no. So no more pull ups for my BIG girl. Now it is time for Nolan to get out of the dang things. He has dry ones for about 3 nights in a row, then it is down hill from there. Doctor says he still is a little young. Other times we have tried is because we have said it is time to get out of them, but I am just so proud of Mamie, once she made her mind up she wanted to get out of them she did it.

A DATE WITH DADDY

Last week Kyle told me he wanted to take Mamie to something at Millsaps. I told him I didn't care. So the date was set for Tuesday January 13, 2003. Mamie was all excited about going. I picked her up from after school care and we talked about what she should wear. I asked her about a couple of outfits and each one came with an answer "no", "no" and "no". Then I asked her what she wanted to wear. She said "I don't know, but daddy said it had to be Fancy". I asked "Like Fancy Nancy"? She said "oh, yes that would be great". I thought great now I am going to have to come up with something, wish Kyle would have told me "FANCY". Anyway, we got home she took a shower and I pulled out a cute stripe dress, leggings and her Hot Pink boots". I know it is not FANCY, FANCY, but she wanted to wear it. So off they go. I never really asked Kyle where they were going or what they were going to see. I was just told he wanted to take her somewhere. They got back around 8:45 p.m. and Mamie was sound asleep on Kyle's shoulder. He undressed her and put on her P.J.s and in she walks to the den. I asked her what they went to see and she said "some man playing a guitar". I asked "oh, did you like it"? She said "yes, but I fell asleep". I said "that was o.k. you were sleepy". Anyway, she said "oh momma there were ladies there with um, um, um animal coat on". "WHAT". yes animal coats. I looked at Kyle and he said "Fur coat". I guess she asked him about the coat and he said they were fur coat and she didn't understand that and he told her dead animals. So she was telling me that there were old ladies there in shiny clothes. I looked at Kyle again and asked where did y'all go? He said "to the Ford Center at Millsaps". Some guy was playing "a guitar" and Kyle thought Mamie would enjoy it. I asked Mamie if she would going to tell her teacher that she went on a date with her daddy and she smiled real big and said "No, I want to keep this to myself". I think she enjoyed it because she couldn't stop talking about it what everyone was wear and that she got some orange drink and cookies. So, I am glad I have a husband that wants to take his little girl out on a date. Special times for both.



I love this picture. It was at the fair this past year. We were on the farriswheel coming down and she left like she was falling. I didn't get a picture of them leaving lastnight or I would have posted it. I was trying to get Nolan's attention so they could leave or he would have wanted to go along.

look what we have been doing

these pictures are not in any type of order. they were taken over the last couple of weeks. i didn't have parade pictures on this camera and they were really, really cute. so i might have to do a parade post all by itself. even if it has to be after Christmas.


grandparent here to watch children sing in program.

being silly for the camera. nolan took this picture. giving some love to sissy baking cookies with mason. before all the flour after all the flourasking the preacher how did the wise men get to baby Jesus. a couple of weeks ago the preacher was teaching sermon and i didn't think mamie was paying attention. he was saying that no where in the bible it says that the wise men came on camels to see baby Jesus. well last sunday mamie and i were sitting in church and before church started she said "momma, do you think that man that stands on the stage is going to tell us how the wise men got to baby Jesus." i just looked at her and said "well, honey i am not sure." anyway, this past sunday was mamie and nolan's choir Christmas program and we were about to leave when Mamie said "i am going to ask the preacher about the wise men." after talking to him, i asked mamie what he said and she said "well i really can't remember." showing off my new high heels that mommy doesn't like, threw a fit to have them...
