July 25-29: All together :)

What a great week we had!!! We were ALL home and we loved it :) It sure has been a whirlwind summer.

It was a little low key with all the rain and Sara had gymnastics camp at LSU. We loved it though :)

Here is a little video of Peter walking (and then crawling) He usually takes a few steps and then gives up and crawls.


On Tuesday we beat the weather by breaking out the paints! The kids had a blast painting great pictures and Peter had fun trying to get into the paint :)

Here is Sara's picture of her and Mick with the cat she insists she is getting (God help me)

On Thursday the boys and I played outside for as long as we could stand it (it was HOT even though it wasn't raining!)

Here is another video of Peter walking. I get so annoyed with Sara since she always steals the spotlight from Mick. Mick, of course, does the same thing to Peter...

Seriously, isn't he the cutest baby ever?

On Friday afternoon we braved the weather to watch Sara at her last day of gymnastics camp. She really loved it!

Mike and I had a time keeping the boys off the equipment. I guess next year I will sign up Mick (then Peter will REALLY be upset!)

Peter!

I simply can't believe that my Pia is almost one! Where has the year gone? Peter is such a joy and I love watching him experience the world. He has gone from a very colicy newborn to a very happy baby! He loves to push cars around like Mick and he is trying to keep up with his sister and brother. He can take steps, but he definitely prefers crawling since he's super fast!! I need to take some videos!

I can't get enough of his huge smile! I love you Pia Pia!!!

July 20-23: Beach!!!

On Wednesday, we drove to Orange Beach, AL for a beach getaway with the Pasquiers :) It was so much fun!! Baba made the kiddos waffles and Nonna helped them decorate them- Mick just wanted whipped cream (and more after he licked it off...) I apologize for my lack of pictures- its so hard to take pictures with three kids- I'm too busy!

The elevator was a little stinky and Sara held her nose every time we rode in it!

Sara insisted on making rivers for the water. It was fun to watch the waves fill up our rivers :)

Mick LOVED the beach. He was so happy!! He loved to roll around in the waves and get all sandy! On a side note, when we pulled into our driveway he was crying "don't want to go home, go to the beach, go to the swimming pool!" He is a beach boy!

On Friday night, Mike finished up his orders and met up with us- YAY!!! Jax and Mick were being silly:

On Saturday we headed to Alexandria for Kristin's baby shower. It was a blast! After the shower we all went to Maw-Maw and Papa's for dinner- it was a blast to hang out with everyone :) I didn't take many pictures, but here are the ones I did take!

July 15: Children's Museum

On Friday, the kids and I headed to the Children's Museum in Lafayette. The grocery store is always a favorite. I had a hard time taking pictures with three kids in tow though! Mick was all about loading up his buggy with yummy treats! Sara was much more interested in checking out this time. Funny :)

On Tuesday we went to the splash park with some friends. I tried to keep Peter in the stroller so I could visit with my kids instead of chase him around, but that was short lived :)

For some reason, he was crying when I let him get in the water. But, he didn't want me to pick him up either. Silly boy!
