Hot tub

Eliana before

She loved the water (we turned down the heat- no worries)

After...relaxed!

Just a swinging...

With the nice weather we met a friend at the park. Eliana loved the swing!

New Orleans

A good portion of my family got together in New Orleans to witness my cousin Ashley get married. She was beautiful & the wedding was so much fun! Here are some pics from the trip.

Beignets at Cafe du Monde

This is Samantha with "princess" Ashley- she is still talking about her!

Lance & his girls on the Riverwalk

We took the girls to the Aquarium.

Sami loved spotting Nemo & Dori!


Eliana meeting her cousin Katie for the first time

Zach & Sami thought this street performer was cool

This is the same guy "transformed"

Sami & Zach were inseparable from their papa (The riverboat Natchez is in the background)


Dad, Zach, Nana, Sami, Uncle John, Aunt RuthAnn, Meme

Happy Day Lance!

Happy Birthday to Lance!

Samantha was thrilled about her daddy's day! She helped mix the cake & frost it! She kept asking when we would blow out the candles & had a hard time waiting for daddy to come home from work! Happy Birthday Lance! We love you!

How to know when to stay inside & call it a hot cocoa day!


Yes, that is frost under our door...on the INSIDE! Time for a new entry on the 'Honey-Do' list!

Playing...

Outside...

With Papa...

With Great-Grandma...

Ballerina with our bear...

and with our sister!

Silence....

You know that silence....when you forget that you just patched some dry wall & your 2 year old goes quiet for a bit.....

This is the result of that silence!

Western Stock Show
We took the girls to the rodeo & stock show on Friday. Sami was really excited about riding this pony ... ride 'em cowgirl!

Eliana is 5 months old!

Eliana is attempting to tripod. She loves the taste of her feet (I think it's adorable when babies chew on their feet!) She adores her older sister & Samantha can get her giggling faster than most people.
