Getting Ready for the Pool Party

We went over to our friends Brandee and Paul's house today for a Crawfish Boil! Before we went, I had some time to kill while I was waiting for Jamie to get back to so I decided to have a little photoshoot with the kids."Baby Kisses"

Arts and Crafts Time

Deanna loves working on arts and crafts. She has quite the imagination and love of colors and creating. So, we have spent much time this summer working on different crafts from concrete mosaic stones to tissue art. My mom (Mimi) sent Deanna all sorts of arts and crafts kits for her to work on and below are some of her finished products! She is very proud of them. Thank you Mimi! Or as Deanna says, "My Mimi sure loves me!".

Preppy Baby

These are pictures that I took of our little man before going on an outing with the girls. He is all preppy in his polo and navy shorts. Of course, the crazy hair spiked up. He is 2 1/2 months old in this picture. I know, he is a "big boy"!!! And, he has been sleeping for 7 to 7 1/2 hours at night eating and then going back to sleep. Hopefully, we can keep this up when I go back to work.

Safety Week

Deanna has been going to school for half days this summer to keep her busy and entertained. Each week has a different theme and last week was Safety Week. At the end of the week, the city Fire Department came by to give the kids a demonstration. Deanna came home talking about how she has to crawl when there is smoke and never to open a door when the knob is hot. She learned so much and had so much fun. Her teacher took these pictures and printed them out for me.

Braden's 2 Month Appointment

I took Braden to the doctor today for his 2 month check up and he weighed in at 12 lbs 15 oz, so basically 13 lbs. He was 23 1/2 inches long. He is getting so big --- fast! Everything checked out okay. He got his first round of shots today and was not a very happy camper after those were given. Deanna let me know that she was not happy with these "prickies" as she called them and began to cry when he did. Two crying children at the doctor's office...Gotta love it!
