Mother's Day Weekend/ Dustin's Big Catch

I had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend with Dustin, Alec, Mimi and Paps at The Camp in Bay St. Louis.  We did lots of fishing, playing and eating!  It was a great time to get away one more time before Kaleigh gets here in 4 more weeks!

Riding on the "Daddy Boat"

What would a weekend at The Camp be with out a project...  This time the pump went out and Papa and Dustin had to run a water hose across the bayou to a neighbors so we'd have water for the weekend....

A visit from the "Ugly Ducks" is always exciting at The Camp too!

He's so brave and is gonna cross the boat launch all by himself!

"Here I come"

"I'm doing the Monkey Bars!"

A fast ride in the "Papa Boat"

Being silly with Dad

Yes, Dustin is hanging Alec off the boat to give him a splash in the water!  Dustin's arms got tired by the time this was over, Alec kept saying "Do it again dad!" 

"I've got a big one"

Everytime Dustin would get him close, he's strip the line out and

Dustin would have to reel him in again!

I can't remember the last time I've seen my husband this excited, it was so much fun!

Dustin's big black drum!

We let him go after taking some pics so someone else could enjoy reeling him in!

Please ignore the 36 week pregnant belly poking out from under the fish!

Caught lots of specs, and the usual sting ray, catfish and mullett too!  Dustin's a freshwater fisherman but really loved this fishing trip!

Happy Mother's Day, Mimi!

I love these boys!

Alec enjoyed some beach time with Mimi while we were out catching the big fish!  He loved it!!  Alec was not thrilled with the sand last year and certainly wouldn't get close to the waves and water, but apparently this year it's gonna be a different story!!  My angel is turning into a beach bum and Mimi could hardly drag him off of the beach!  I can't wait to take him to a real beach later this summer!

One cool dude!

Man's Baby Shower

35 weeks pregnant

I'm now 36 weeks and 2cm dialated,

so we'll see how much longer this lasts.

Last weekend, our best friends, Adam and Mandi Parker hosted a Crawfish Boil/ Baby Shower for us.  Not many pics from this one, thanks to Sonya for getting a few pics!  I can always count on Sonya to pick up the camera!!  The men said if all Baby Showers had beer and crawfish, they'd never miss one! ha!  Wonderful Shower with Wonderful Friends!! 

My helpers didn't last long once the kiddos realized there were no fun toys!! ha!

Diapers, YAY!

Love this Mud Pie outfit from Art and Sonya!

Go Team Dustin!!

Dustin's team won 1st place in a National Guard Golf Tourney at Dancing Rabbit last weekend!!  You'd think he won the Master's as big as the trophy was!

 
You are the best golfer, fisherman, husband and daddy that Alec, Kaleigh and I could ever ask for, I love you forever!! And lately you're doing pretty good at the cooking and cleaning too!! Promise I'll get back to my regular mom duties soon!!

Hallelujah, Christ is Risen

This is what our Easter Week started off with!!

That's right, a bunny named Oliver that we borrowed from Nana's for Alec's party at school and also for Easter Sunday.  Well, little did I know apparently Nana and Aunt Patty "loaned" us the bunny, but said we couldn't bring him back to Ellisville.  Humm, at first, this plan was fine with me, he was very cute and so soft!  And best of all he was potty trained!!  But, needless to say, after 1 day with the bunny, Dustin and I were horribly allergic to him and he was shedding EVERYWHERE!!  Thankfully, Oliver was with us through Easter Sunday but he found a new home with another little boy Sunday afternoon.

Alec and Oliver before school on Thursday, Alec was beyond excited to be able to take his bunny to school!

Easter Morning, "Look what I got momma!"

Hunting Eggs before church!

Alec was a champ at hunting eggs this year!  The older Alec gets, the more fun every holiday gets!

Look what I found!

We were so  happy that our friends, the Parkers, shared Easter with our family this year!

Four Generations!

Two Great Grands!

More Four Generations!

Alec was SERIOUS about his egg hunting with Kara and Will around!  Couldn't let those babies take any of his eggs!

There were even more of us but this group just happened to be on the porch at the same time!

Wearing my pink Easter tent again!

Just for comparison, here I am again in my Easter tent for Easter 2008.  I must say, the dress was much tighter this year, and I assumed it was just me being bigger.  BUT, I was only 25 weeks preggo for Easter 2008 and I was 34 weeks for this Easter!!  Guess those 9 weeks explain the difference in how my dress looked!! ha!  And yes, for the record, I did actually shop for a new Easter dress this year, but for some reason all I could find was black, red, brown or long sleeved at the maternity stores in town.  You would think they would have liked to make some extra money with some pink Easter dresses, but I supposed not!

Kaleigh Marie

We had Kaleigh's 4-D Ultrasound on Tuesday.  Such cute little pics, we can't wait to see her in person!!  It's so amazing to see the little angel that's living in my belly!  Looks like she's already pretty squished, I'm betting for another big baby like Alec!
