Visitors!

Nona came to visit right before the Miss Mayhem made her grand entrance. She stayed untill Scarlett was almost a week old. Wish I had gotten some photos of my mom holding her (something I will most definetely rectify at Christmas!!!) but obviously I was pretty tired!




About a week and a half after my mom left Grammie J arrived. One of the highlights from Grammie's visit was a Saturday morning trip to the Kids Park. Everyone had a great time..

Even Miss Mayhem who slept through 90% of the trip to the park!


Shortly after Grammie left... Cousin Judge arrived! But that's for another post!

Miss Mayhem's First Photo Shoot

Brother making sure she was adequately "loved" before the photo shoot.

Her shirt says Navy Princess... which couldn't be more true ;)

After playing outside with Papa - we aren't quite sure WHAT'S on his face.

Peek A-boo Calfy! (this is the same cow from the previous post)

Telling Papa how to measure and mark a post!

Checking to make sure Papa marked his measurement good.

Photo Blog: Our Visit to Louisiana...and Back Agian!

We spent the weekend with Aunt Claire and Uncle Bill and lots of other extended family memebers celebrating Aunt Claire's birthday. It was a big party!

Chris, Jr and I ended up leaving very late Thursday night/very early Friday morning to drive the six and a half hours to N. Louisiana. We arrived about 630am - just in time to surprise everyone by letting Jr run around the house and "talk". ;)



These two pictures are perfect examples of what happens when mom goes upstairs to take a nap. It's a good thing that little boys, dogs and clothes are all washable! Jr is covered in "swamp" mud. (Uncle Bill is attempting to make the "swamp" into a pond...)

As you can see in the pictures... Aunt Kathy is very proud of her handy work ;)

Uncle Bill took Jr for a short tractor ride...

Aunt Claire taking Jr down to the "swamp".

(I loved this picture in color, but absolutely LOVE it antiqued!)

Aunt Claire made out! The Dreaded "Blackish" Flamingo even made an appearance - more then once!

Chris, Papa Stan and Junior all working to put in a dog door for the boys who are now here at the house. I was supervising ofcourse ;)

While Grammie and Papa where here, Junior finally got his first tricycle. We are still learning to pedal...

But having a Papa to push you helps alot!
