Wyatt's Baptism

The Saturday before Wyatt was baptised, I got to watch him for a few hours! We had a blast and he behaved like an angel.



Again, doesn't he look good with two kids?


The baptism went well. He loved the water on his forehead!




The happy family. James, Wyatt, Jennie and Abby


And of course Allie was there and was on her best behavior!

Wyatt Joseph

My husband has 3 godchildren. How unfair is that? So I was THRILLED when Jennie and James asked me to be their new baby's godmother! Then my sister asked me to be her baby's godmother! Soon I will have TWO!

Baby Wyatt Joseph was born on July 22nd. He was a couple of weeks early, but is perfect. I've got to hold him several times, feed him and he even pooped on me when I was trying to change him.

With mom right after he was born.

With Nanny!

Doesn't Ben look good with babies? Does anyone else think we should have another one?

Wyatt and big sister Abby (who turned 2 yesterday, Happy Birthday Abby!)

Allie would make a great big sister....

Memorial Day Weekend

It's so hot outside. I have to keep reminding myself why I live in Louisiana. And it's only May. Warmer weather is sure to come. Sunday was Ben's only day off work this week, so he used it to get some important things done. Like washing his truck and letting Allie SWIM!

Keeping the gas guzzler clean, good thing it never goes too far.


Of course she wanted to help in any way possible.


It sure was hot, ain't he cute?


Finally getting to swim. She was "running experiments", as Pop would say.

She wanted me to fill up her water gun.

While they were washing and swimming, I picked some basil from my herb garden.

And made this delicious pesto pasta!

Later in the day, Jennie, James and Abby came over to play and for dinner.

She would kill me if she knew this was on here!

I gave the girls a bath.

That's over 50 pounds in my arms. They were HEAVY together!

It was a great day. I served up some jambalaya for dinner and the girls had a blast playing together!
