September

We had a good month this September.  The kids have been busy with school and after-school activities.  We have had some low-key weekends and enjoyed family and friends.  Here are some pictures of what we have been up to.

Sarah Beth had cousin Ellen spend the night one Friday night.  We ordered pizza and then went out for yogurt and Red Box movies.  They had a great time!

Even Andrew enjoyed the dress up clothes (he will kill me for this one day!)

Andrew can’t help it that he has 2 sisters…he loves to do whatever they are doing BUT he is ALL boy.  He LOVES to help his Daddy work on things.

One of Syd’s best friends celebrated his birthday in Vicksburg last weekend.  We had a great time catching up with friends and helping Jimmy celebrate!

We ended the month with a trip to Jackson to the Ms Children’s Museum.  SB asked to go and MeMe had never been before so we hopped in the car and went.  The kids played with different things this time.  It wasn’t very crowded and a good time was had by all!

Surprise!!!

We had Dinnie (my mother in law) a surprise 60th Birthday Party the Sunday before Labor Day.  It was so much fun and I think she really was surprised!  Thanks to all of her friends and family who came to help make this birthday so special for MeMe.  I took so many great pictures (with my new camera) that I have to pick and choose a few to put on here!

Syd was such a trooper to swim with all of the kids!

I love this picture of Syd, Andrew and Banks.  I think this was the most still these boys were all weekend!

Our attempt to get a pic of Dinnie with the kids…Banks refused to be in the picture.  It was getting to be bedtimes!

Dinnie’s good friend Carol so graciously offered her home for the party and also made this delicious chocolate cake! 

Weekend Wrap Up

Our weekend began on Wednesday when they cancelled school due to Hurricane Isaac.  We were out 3 days due to all of the wind, rain and trees down all over town.  We were very lucky that we did not lose power at our house.  I got a lot of purging done on Thursday and it felt good to get rid of stuff we don’t use anymore. 

On Saturday morning SB took off to Starkville with MeMe and Uncle Jason to watch the MSU Bulldogs play.  It sure was hard for me to buy her a maroon t-shirt but she wanted to wear the right attire!

Uncle Jason kept us posted all day and she wanted to send us a picture of her at the stadium…she had a great time but USM is still her #1 team!

While SB was off in Bulldog country we went to Jennifer Lynne and Stephen’s house for burgers and football.  All of the cousins had a great time playing!

Andrew and Banks had so much fun together.  They ran around the house shutting doors!

Sophie loves to hold Lynlee.  She is such a good big cousin and Lynlee loved all of the attention…she even rolled over for the 1st time for us!

We tried so hard to get a good picture of the boys but they are always on the move…best I could get!

Andrew giving sugars/hugs to sweet Lynlee.  He loves to visit with her at school and he has learned to say her name…so sweet!

We had a great weekend but it is not over….we all have the day off tomorrow!  I hope to get to play with our new toy….

I am super excited…I have wanted one of these cameras for a while now!

Happy Labor Day!

 

Happy Birthday MeMe!

MeMe celebrated her 60th birthday today!!  WooHoo!!  Actually she celebrated all weekend. SB and I took her to lunch at one of her favorite restaurants in town, Rusty’s.  On Sunday Barbara had a joint birthday celebration for Dinnie & Mike. 

The kids really enjoyed Barbara and Mike’s hammock!

Andrew loved this corn on the cob!

Tonight we had MeMe over for dinner.  Syd bought some mini-eclairs and we sang Happy Birthday! 

Her best present of all…Jason had to evacuate from NOLA and he made it just in time for dinner!

MeMe ~ we hope you had a fabulous birthday and we wish you many many more!  We love you!
