Nan Nan comes to visit!

My mom came up for one night earlier this week, and we had alot of fun!

It always amazes me with the amount of things we pack in a day! lol

The boys had fun playing outside with her. Picking cucumbers, jumping on the trampoline..

Playing with water toys..

Reading books..

Playing games..

Puzzles!!

And she even brought her knife block, after seeing my knife block transformation.

She spraypainted it with primer, then with the red, and then cut out a fleur de lis,

and mod podged it onto it. 

It turned out stunning! Love it!

Good ole' tradition of theirs with cookie making.

(and we went to walmart 2x and made a Schlotzky's run!)

We always have a great time with Nan Nan!

The boys were sad to see her go! But we'll be seeing her soon! :)

T-ball games 2&3!

T-ball is well on it's way! We actually missed the 3rd and 4th game

because they were rescheduled because of rain, and we were out of town visiting family.

Anyway, here's the hottie of a coach, (my hubs) :) asking the kids what the 2 rules

to t-ball were..

#1 don't touch the bats unless it's your turn

#2 have fun!

Not too complicated ;)

They are all too cute.

Caleb was excited because Pa J & Mimi came up to his 2nd game!

Ay had some fun with them during the game..

He does a great job playing. He always hits it, and FAR!

And he never tries to quit. Big boy!

Pops & Nan came for his 3rd game! So fun!

The kids keep Darryl quite busy, but he LOVES it!

We are SO enjoying sports with our little man! In the fall, Ayden will be 3, so he

will get to start sports too!! We just had game #4 last Saturday, and our last game of the season is

this Thursday. I'll post those games together. It's been a blast!

Can't wait for our team pizza party! :)

Happy birthday to my hunka hunka burnin' love!

Haha! This past Wednesday was my hubby's birthday!

Tuesday we went to the Bass Pro shop to pick out a good fishing pole for him!

And..I've been having way too much fun with my new iPhone app...

so excuse all the phone pics. LOL

Then on his birthday, after getting of of work, we headed to dinner!

Outback's cheese fries are oh so heavenly!

Ahhh love this man. :)

After dinner, we headed to the reservoir to watch the sunset and just hang out.

It was SUCH a beautiful night!

Earlier in the day I had been preparing an ice cream cake for my man..

with his fave ice cream! Mint chocolate chip! And he wanted yellow cake.

Mmm...I love yellow cake.

It turned out pretty good for me not knowing anything about making ice cream cakes! LOL

What.a.goober.

Mmmmm.

A few days later, our families came in town to celebrate!

We did alot in the short time they were here! On Friday Darryl, his dad, and 2 of Darryl's friends went golfing. My dad couldn't get here until friday night so he couldn't go with. They said they had a great time though.

While they did that, me & the boys went with Justin, Julie, & Mimi on the boat!

We had lots of fun just cruisin' around in the beautiful weather!

And Caleb & Justin even jumped in for a quick swim! Ay got in for a few seconds, and

then decided it was too cold. ;)

When the guys got home we ordered a few pizzas and ate, and then my parents got in!

Then we all headed to Bass Pro, because that's where Darryl's parents

were taking him to get him some fishing stuff for his birthday, and

where my parents got him a gift card to!

My dad doesn't shop, so he just plays around and acts goofy with the kiddos!

Like this. hahaha

We all went out on the boat on Saturday morning, but I didn't have the camera with me for that part because we were going fast, and I didn't want to get my camera wet!

We then went back to the house and bbq-ed and

I had asked my mom to bring a king cake!

Purple & yellow for LSU, of course.

My parents had to leave after that, and we all hung out and got ready for another boat adventure! This time though, to fish! But that'll have to wait for another post... :)

All in all, I think Darryl had an awesome birthday, and I'm so glad we could have our fam around for it for the first time in 6 years!

Love ya, babe!

Happy Mother's Day!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Mother's Day.

I did get to see my mom and my mother in law yesterday, so that was nice! My hubs had

to work today, so we couldn't travel back to be with the moms today, but we were able to

give them their presents yesterday!

I had a collage done of the boys with these pictures, and put into a matted frame.

They turned out adorable!

Here they are!! They loved them :)

And here are the boys and I outside of our house this morning before church!

This isn't great quality because it was taken with my phone, but it's a picture nonetheless! :)

Hope everyone has a great day!

Beach trip with Mom!

Last Friday, Mom and I took the boys to the gulf for a morning trip at the beach! It was SO much fun, and I'd wished we had more time there!

The boys jumped right in and started playing!

Mom was hilarious feeding the birds.

We did a little kite flying with the boys kites, since they weren't interested

in anything else but sand and water!

And then one flew away, so I had to chase it. LOL

Then we wised up, and just hooked the kites to the cooler, and

let the gulf breeze do the work!

Caleb and I chased the birds and seagulls!

It's one of our favorite beach pastimes. :)

The boys had lunchables for their lunch. All the swimming and running makes for

a hungry little person. ;)

Ay didn't even eat much, he was just LOVING the water.

Seeing these smiles make me want every day

to be a beach day!

We had such a great time, and I'm so glad we went!

This pretty much sums up how we all felt afterwards!

Nothing sweeter than a sleeping babe!
