Playing with Mimi

It is always so much fun playing at Mimi's house!









Jack-Jack turns 5!



Jackson turned 5 years old in April and we celebrated down at Grayton Beach with a pirate themed party! It was so much fun! The guests included: Keith, Melissa, Jackson, and Langdon; Nana and Poppa; Mamaw and Papaw; Mimi; Courtney and Mark; Uncle Rusty; Aunt Debra; Eric, Lucas, and I.

Once again, bragging on my sister-in-law and mother-in-law who made the cake:


These were the individual cakes for the kids made to look like treasure chests. I mean how cute is that?!
Jackson was incredibly lucky because he FOUND BURIED TREASURE!!!!
Digging away (thanks Uncle Rusty for using your iPhone treasure hunting app!)



Time for cake!
We all dressed as pirates for the occasion

The kids had a blast and were exhausted by the end of the day!

Making a fashion statement

I have no idea how he got his arm out like this. Houdini I tell you!



Feeding the Ducks with Mimi


We stopped by one Saturday to visit Mimi and decided to go feed the ducks and geese at the lake that is by her house. I don't know who had a better time, Lucas or Mimi! She is 90 years young and you would think that she was in her 60s. Lucas LOVES his Mimi! Recently we stopped by her house on the way home from picking her up. She wasn't home (she had gone out with friends - quite the mover and shaker my Mimi). When I put the car in reverse Lucas begins to scream and pitch the biggest fit. Thank goodness he was strapped in or else he could have hurt himself! Mimi of course loved this story!


He would bring his arm waaaayyyy back and then throw it about two inches from where he was standing.


He was fearless. I had to keep bringing him back away from the geese. He wanted to pet them. He also wanted to go swimming in the lake...fun times!


Fun times in the back yard

GG and Pop gave Lucas this play castle for Christmas and it was finally warm enough in April for us to put it together and play outside. He loved climbing up the ladder and then sliding down the slide.


Hadn't quite grasped the concept of the slide at this point...

"I'm good!"
Yucky dirt!
I need a break!

Langdy-bug turns TWO!!

Langdon turned 2 years old in February!! We had a great time in Georgia celebrating with all their family. Let's see the guests included: Of course Keith, Melissa, Jackson and Langdon; Mamaw and Papaw; Nana and Poppa; Mimi (Keith's mom, Lindy); Keith's sister, Lauren, her husband, Jeff, and their 3 boys - Cameron, Charlie, and Parker; Eric, me, and Lucas. We had a blast!

Let me brag a little on my sister-in-law and mother-in-law. They made the cakes themselves!!! Seriously they need to go into business!!

The flowers are made out of marshmallows!

These were the chairs that Melissa gave as party favors. Great idea!!
Have you ever tried to get 6 kids under the age of 6 to all look at a camera and smile? If you have succeeded can you please pass on the tip?! Charlie, Parker, Lucas, Cameron, Langdon, and Jackson
We love you SO MUCH Langdon!!
