Growing up and having fun.

Trying new things. She will finally put food in her mouth without gagging! She doesn't love baby food but will take 3 to 4 bites, every other day. She loves the puffs and baby mum mums. She has tried brown rice and grapes and loves them. That is the extent of her diet, besides breast milk. I don't think she will ever stop nursing. She is still supre chunky though.

Ellie's friend Wyatt. They are like a week apart.

Crawling. My life is over.

Sydney's doing a cooking show.

I totally would have bought her this hair thing if it wasn't 20 bucks. So cute.

Kicking it at Bubba Gumps.

These are the famous Beignets from Cafe Du Monde. It's the french doughnut. Pretty much a scone, or fried dough covered with powdered sugar. They are so good though.

Bright flash. She loves her uncle Adam.

July 4th

On july 3rd all the wives went to scope out the town to find the best place to watch the firework show. We ended up taking the fairy from downtown New Orleans to the otherside of the Mississippi and watching it in a more family friendly area. These are some pictures my friend, Kristen took that day. It was warm but a beautiful night.

Us, Kaylee, Wyatt, Brooke, Kristen, and Alyssa

Fireworks from the barge on the Mississippi. Such a neat experience!

New Orleans

They finally got all the licensing all done for Louisiana so the office moved on over to New Orleans. I never thought I would ever visit, let alone LIVE here but I actually love it. (not at first) These are just some pics from a day walking around downtown. There is so much to do here!
After I took all these pictures with the masks, I saw a sign that said No Pictures with Masks. OOPS.

Part 2. San Antonio Texas

So we all know Texas is a huge state. Ya, well it's even bigger when you are driving through it. By yourself. With two kids and a dog.
One of the highlights: roadkill including, wild hogs, wolves, armadillos ect. I was planning on taking 2 days to make the drive but Sydney was so excited to get there she didn't want to stop, so we just made the drive in one long day.

These birds were outside the apartment.

Trying to stay entertained.

Dex and Kita. His new girlfriend.

It's so good to be with Dad again.

THE DRIVE.

PART 1 : TO ALBUERQUE, NEW MEXICO

Ellie was an angel in the car. Thank goodness for binkis.

Dexter is always up for anything. He just hung out like this the whole time.

Luckily my sis Amanda drove with me to Albuquerque.
Sydney drove in my parents car the first day. Life was good.
Twilight on CD got us through the horrible drive.

The next day we relaxed and enjoyed ourselves and that night we went to my sister's second wedding reception.

and ate alot of this

Jes put her dress on Sydney and I had a total flash forward of her life. Scary. I will try to get that pic and put it on here.
