August 29: Mick and Sara

I know this isn't crawling, but he's getting close!



Sara is loving the pretend play:



Tonight we went out to eat with Amie, Paw-paw, Uncles Nathan and Landy, Kristin, Allison, and Pat. Sara insisted on dancing:



Sara loves her Paw-paw


Mick likes to untie Daddy's shoe- he's so cute :)

Hope you're having a great weekend too :)

August 29: Zoo Zoom

This morning I ran a 5k at the zoo, here are some pictures:
Sara LOVES this globe!
And she apparently isn't afraid of snakes... she must get that from her dad!


Being silly on the playground

Watching the elephant show:
I had a great run and had an even better time hanging out with my wonderful family at the zoo :)

August 28: Bath Time :)

Mick really loves bath time now:



Sara was apparently popping a bubble on his head (a little roughly...) But Mick didn't seem to mind :)

August 25-27: Bowls and Pools

Sara likes to help us feed Mick. Her job is to hold the bowl. She is so good at it :) Sometimes she tastes it- it is not yummy!!


Sara loves to play in the pool- and with the water hose!


Today the prince from her castle went swimming and the princess encouraged him to jump into the pool several times. Sara is getting such an imagination! She loves to play with her castle and doll house. Anyway, here is Sara and the prince jumping in the pool:


Mick had fun too! He LOVES to be outside!!

Sara spilt a lot of cereal on the floor and then tried to clean it up with her vacuum. Its the thought, right?

August 24: Day of Nature...

Since the weather was so nice I took the kids to the zoo. Sara's favorite thing was the Zoo Key that made the boxes sing a little song. She particularly loved the elephant song.






We took a fun train ride. Mick actually liked it- when we started he perked up and looked around. He really seemed to enjoy it (I mean its hard to tell with a 5 month old...)
Sara saw some other people taking a picture like this and insisted I take one of her... Silly girl!


Later on, we took the kids for a run around the lake and then fed the (rather aggressive!) ducks!
Scary geese- I actually had to back Sara away- I didn't trust them!


Mick had fun too- isn't he the cutest :)

August 23: Doughnuts and Tigers

Sunday morning Sara had a pick doughnut with sprinkles- YUM! I think she only had about 2 bites though.

Amie fed Mick some cereal and he practiced using his big boy cup :)
Mick can almost sit up! He can do it for a few seconds before he falls over. He is getting SO big!


Once we got back to Baton Rouge we went to drop off some stuff at Mike's office and since the weather was so nice, we walked around a little. Sara WILL fall in this fountain one day!



Some shots of Mick the tiger ;)

August 22: Kendra's Day (Wedding Extraganza Day 2)


Saturday was the big day!!! Of course, we were at the salon bright and early!

Here is Sara admiring her "princess" dress

It was a long day for Sara, she wasn't in the best mood... the photographer claims to have gotten some cute pictures... I sure didn't :)

Sara made it about half way down the aisle, saw all the people and cried "I want my mama!" Luckily Mike grabbed her and was able to quickly calm her. The wedding was beautiful! I am so honored that Sara and I got to participate in Kendra and Daniel's special day!

Sara's favorite part was the trolley ride to the reception (or the choo- choo train as she called it!)

Kendra and Daniel:

Sara loved waving to everyone from the open window:



My 2 favorite sisters:



Sara had a blast at the reception (until she completely crashed and could only say "I want to go home, I want to go home, I want to go home...")

Here she is with her "prince" as she called Sam. She also called Paul- the groomsman I walked with- my prince. Not Mike, Paul. Also, she referred to Kendra as "Kendra princess" all night. I guess she had princess on the brain!


Here's a video of Sara trying to dance with Prince Sam.


Cake time!


Me dancing with my brown-eyed girl :) We got a picture despite Landry and Pat's efforts to deter us! Haha!


The perfect ending to a great day!! We all had a blast and we're SO very happy for Kendra and Daniel!! We love you!!!!

August 21: Wedding Extraganza Day 1

Friday morning us cool girls got our nails done:


Daniel entertained Mick with his iPhone. That is a rather expensive toy!

Sara tried on Amie's shoes...
And then we had to practice! Here is Sara and Jillian:


Kendra and Mr. Wayne:

Don't we all look great?


Sara loved her present in the pink bag!

Princess tennis shoes?!?! Could there be a better present??? (Actually Sara was satisfied with the box with pictures of the princesses... we had to tell her to open it!)

Look at all these cool guys:

And girls:

Me and my other dad!

The happy couple :)

We sure had a lot of fun...
