Tushies




I was just telling The Great Aunt Sue this past weekend, that these outfits (size 6-12 months)still didn't fit them (she bought them for the babies way back in September). However, when I looked at them again on Monday all of the sudden they fit perfectly (Loggie's pants are a little baggy but other than that...). Must have been all those muffins and pancakes they consumed in Shreveport!!! THANKS AUNT SUE!!!

Mardi Gras

We just got back, late last night, from one of the best weekends we've had with the babies yet.

We took them to Louisiana (Shreveport) to visit Sue, Marty & the boys for Mardi Gras!

Everyone was there, Aunt Pammie & Jason, Grammie, Aunt JuJu & Uncle Josh, Sue, Marty, Robert & Daniel (who did a mighty fine job of hosting us all), Granny & Papa, Grandma & of course our little family of five...

We left on Friday night and made our journey to Shreveport. This was the babies' first big car trip, first trip to another state (this officially happened at 11:52pm as we crossed the Louisiana state line!) and first overnighter. The babies did EXCELLENT in the car, only requiring a few stops to stretch their legs.

Lauren, Daddy, & Jason (We caused a little bit of a scene for this small town restraunt!)



The babies enjoyed a vanilla milk shake!!!

We arrived in Shreveport pretty late but the party had just begun! The Great Aunt Sue had all kinds of food and beverages waiting for us and we all stayed up talking well into the wee hours of the morning (including the trio!). Unfortunately the babies forgot that they stayed up all night and were ready to start their day at 6am sharp, barely hours after they first went to bed.

Later that day, we started getting ready to head out for the parade. It was extremely cold outside so we bundled the babies up in a couple of layers and then finished them off in their new puffy snowsuits...they looked like Marshmellows!


Lathan




Daddy pulled the choo choo wagon down the street to the parade route. The babies created their own sort of parade as we passed people on the streets. I told Patrick that I was going to teach Lauren the Miss America wave for next year!!!

Aunt JuJu & Uncle Josh (& Emmy!)



The preparation for the parade was exhausting for the babies...they fell asleep!

Logan




Comfy in their snowsuits, they're all asleep!!!




They weren't asleep for long, the parade started with a fire engine blowing its horn! The parade had begun!!!

***Unfortunately, I didn't get the best pictures which is why I NEED the new Canon Rebel (I'm trying to convince Patrick that this is how we need to spend our tax return, he disagrees). I will admit though, that I had the camera on the wrong setting! Shhh...don't tell!!!***

A little of the action...


Lathan & Aunt JuJu, Logan & Mommy, Lauren & Daddy (& Uncle Josh)



On one of the first few floats, was my Godmother (Nanni) and her family. Once they saw us, they unloaded tons of beads our way!!!

Lathan wasn't too fond of the noises that accompanied the parade. He was much more content napping on Grammie, away from all of the action.



Lauren & Daddy Standing With Our Sign which was a huge hit, literally. People on the floats would just throw the beads at the sign (which Papa was kind enough to hold for most of the parade)! (We even had two people IN the parade take OUR picture!!!)



Logan probably enjoyed the parade the most. He would laugh and kick his feet as the floats drove by.

The Gang...minus The Great Aunt Sue & Uncle Marty. I think they had started cleaning up and missed the photo.

When we got home, Granny & Grandma were waiting. So were Uncle Marty's Red Beans & Rice and Sue's Pink Pantie Pulldowns

On Sunday, we took the babies for a walk over to see Mrs. Whitecotton (Mrs. Harriett's Momma!)

Lauren & Sue, Logan & Grammie



Mrs. Whitecotton had an adorable little doggie that Logan fell in love with!

And then it was time to say goodbye. We loaded up the car(s) and said farewell to our Shreveport buddies.

Robert



On the road again which meant more movies...


Logan watching Finding Nemo


and more pit stops. Once again we stopped at Burger King to let the kiddos rest. We let them share a Twinkie (what's a road trip without junk food???)

and then changed them into their jammies.

Once the cars were filled up with gas and our bellies filled with food, we got back on the road to finish our trip.

Now we're home and trying to get back into the swing of things. Luckily, Daddy had the day off which made it much easier!!!

And even coooler...only 4 more days until we get to see Aunt JuJu again!
