Vacation with Maw Maw and Paw Paw

Last week, Billy, Andy, Maw Maw, Paw Paw, and I all went to Hot Springs for a fun filled get-away! We sure did have a great time together. We were able to do some sight seeing, swimming, and not to mention some shopping. We laughed a lot and enjoyed watching and playing with Andy. Andy had a good time swimming at our hotel pool and watching all the kiddos as they swam too! He didn't miss anything!!!! He also loved playing with his tractor set that Maw Maw and Paw Paw gave him. He got so excited when Paw Paw would count "1...2...3" and then let the tractor go. Andy would just squeal and squeal as the tractor would move towards him. Andy also started tummy crawling while we were in Hot Springs. Paw and Paw and Daddy really gave Andy a workout. They would move some of Andy's favorite toys away from him to make him crawl towards them. It was soooo cute and we were all so excited for Andy. We clapped and cheered him on the whole time they were playing. We came back to our house Saturday afternoon (July 4th) and played some more. We grilled burgers and the best sausage ever....LeJeune's and watched Andy swim in his turtle pool.

We were at the lookout point at this mountain in Hot Springs.

San Francisco

The trolley car we rode.


Billy on Fisherman's Wharf.


Ok I was trying to jump up on this wall thing to take a pic, but I kept sliding off. For some crazy reason it was extremely funny!

Billy being scared at Alcatraz!

Billy and I went to San Fran a couple of weeks ago. We packed lots of touristy things into only a few days! It was super duper chilly while we were there and we didn't expect how uphill everything was! It was quite a workout!We rode across the Golden Gate Bridge, toured Alcatraz, rode the trolley car, saw lots of sea lions, walked down Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf, and took in the rest of the sites. We enjoyed our little trip considering this was our first time to visit San Francisco.

1st Beach Trip

Isn't this one cute...Jaylin wanted to taste Andy's paci and decided she really liked it!

A couple of weeks ago, Mom, Dad, Micah, Sheena, Jaylin, John, and the three of us all went to the beach. We had a great time. I think we all relaxed and soaked up some rays while we were there. We played lots of games as well (our norm- a little Scrabble, Wii, Trivial Pursuit, and Putt-Putt). Andy and Jaylin both loved the water. They spent lots of time splashing and playing in the baby pool we brought. Andy started teething while we there so we had a couple of rough days, but other then that Andy's first beach trip was wonderful!

Eunice Visit

Before we headed to the beach, we went to Eunice to visit! Andy not only got to visit with Maw Maw and Paw Paw, but he got to see his two great grandmothers, several great aunts, and cousins. Andy got to meet his cousin, Noah, who is only one week younger then Andy. We had a wonderful visit. Considering how much Andy loves being outside, he and Maw Maw and Paw Paw enjoyed the weather and swinging in the backyard until the mosquitos brought them in. HA!

GEAUX TIGERS!!!!

Way to go Tigers!!! Here are a few pics of Andy cheering on his favorite team...go LSU. Andy is becoming more and more active as he approaches 7 months and loves to go. He's now pulling up on his favorite toys and rocking on his knees. Yea!!! I think we may crawl soon.

Baby Dedication

Today was Baby Dedication at our church. It was wonderful! It was such a special time for Billy and me and meant a lot being that it took place on Mother's Day. What a great thing to be a parent, but what a huge responsibility the Lord has given us both in raising our little Andy. He's such a blessing and joy! We are thrilled to be able to teach him all about our Savior!! Andy's MawMaw and PawPaw were also able to share this special time with us. They were able to attend the Baby Dedication too. What a wonderful and memorable day! Andy did great...he was easily entertained by all the people and the talking.

Fun in the Cello

OK... not to sure if we like our green beans!!! This was our third day of eating our green beans and for some reason Andy's not to convinced they are his favorites...where's the squash or carrots!

Sweet baby boy playing! Yay!!!!

We are just getting home after church. Look at that big smile!

One pretty afternoon, we are outside playing. Rain rain go away...we are ready for another pretty day! It doesn't look like we'll have one this week.

Here's Andy getting ready to put on his third outfit for the day...wonder what happened here!!!! He sure doesn't look concerned!

Here are some fun pics that were taken around the house in Monticello. We are enjoying Andy as he is approaching 6 months. Boy, where has the time gone? Andy is now rolling as often as possible. He is also sitting up to play with his toys! Big Boy!!! Andy loves to play outside too. We are outside as much as we can be. He likes to listen to the birds. We have some animals that play in our backyard occasionally so we like to look at the cats, bunnies, and even the deer.
