Only in Mississippi

Only in Mississippi can you go to the beach in January! Dustin's been out of town for almost 2 weeks with the military so the kids and I spend the weekend with Mimi and Papa at the camp. This was Kaleigh's first trip and we think she loves it already. We fit in time for some fishing, shopping, 4 wheeler riding, crawling practice, and even got to spend a little time at the beach!

We think she'll be crawling before Dad gets home in a few days!

Playing with Jackie!

We made yummy brownies too! ha!

First beach trip of 2012 in JANUARY!

Aren't they sweet?!?

Making roads in the sand with Mimi!

HUGE bird print!  We didn't see the actual bird but I think it could have eaten Kaleigh!!

Exploring the new Bay St. Louis pier!

Alec caught a little bream!

You can take one of me if I can take one of you!

Most of the time I have to bribe Alec with something like this so I can take his picture!

We're glad Papa is finally feeling good enough to go to the camp!

7 Months Sister!

Sometimes I wish I had kids of the same gender so I could dress them alike easier!  BUT, I found these cute camo clothes and thought they would be so cute dressed alike.  Alec didn't think his camo was cute BUT I talked him into putting it on, telling him we were going to NANA'S and that he'd get a spanking if he didn't! ha!  Needless to say on the way to Nana's, Kaleigh was crying and Alec announced that she didn't like her camo!! ha!  At least we did get some cute pics even if they didn't like their outfits!

Sweet Kaleigh turned 7 months today and is doing more things everyday!!  She is starting to pull up and scooting around everywhere.  I know she'll be crawling around really soon!  She might get more practice if she didn't demand to be carried around constantly! ha!  She's definitely my little hip baby!  She got her 2nd ear infection last week and the antibiotic made her nauseaus so it's been a rough few nights around here, but now she's got new meds and we hope she's on the road to recovery now.  It's so sad to have a screaming baby at night and not be able to make it better instantly!  She weights 16lbs 8oz, is in a size 3 diaper and wears 6 months clothes.  She also got her two bottom teeth this month!

This little car has become a "play pen" for sister lately!  It's got a floorboard in the bottom so she doesn't slip out.  I fill it up with toys and tied one of Harley's leashes to the front of it!  I can pull her all over the house with me!  Works wonders!  Alec had to join in on the fun today too!



Happy New Year!

Happy 2012!  We look forward to a fun year with Alec and Kaleigh!  We celebrated New Years Eve at our  house with lots of friends, fireworks and food!  Alec LOVES fireworks!

The Martin's came over for some fun too!

Drew, Alec and Warren loved throwing the "poppers" on the ground!

Warren kept his hands over his ears all night but really did seem to enjoy the fireworks!

Just the girls!

Uncle Grant taking a spin in the dune racer!

Kaleigh and I celebrated New Year Eve all night long.  She has a double ear infection and her antibiotic upset her belly, so we were literally up all night!  But she's a happy camper New Years Day!
