6 months already!?!?

If I didn't know time was flying by WAY too fast, I sure do know now! I feel as if I literally just blinked and here we are a half a year later!

Look at this big girl!

When you're at Aunt Savannah's house...

you are going to get messy!

I learned a lot of things while watching my nephews this past week!

1. Shaving cream is perfect for making dinosaur mountains and avalanches for unsuspecting race cars.

2. Its equally as fun to wash off all the shaving cream as it is to play in it!

3. Food colored vinegar+ baking soda= a fun science experiment!

4. Making the pizza is much more fun than actually eating it ;-) (no matter how much ranch you give them to dip it in!!)

And #5- These boys just LOVE their baby cousin! She is blessed to have such fun and loving cousins as Tyler and Jack!

Latour Group Text

Recently, both my mom and dad have joined the "iPhone" club. And after a couple weeks of figuring things out- Mom has discovered the group text...

Oh, and we all discovered the little pictures called "emoji" Naturally, the "poop" icon is the family favorite.

So today, Trey got us started on sending pictures of what we were doing at that very moment,

"This is what i do all period in food science"

"This is what we do in the library"

"This is what we do right before nap time"

"This is what we do at work"

I think we just wrote a children's book?

Happy Birthday Greg!

Greg turned 28 this past Thursday and we decided to celebrate with a crawfish boil! So Saturday morning, Greg, Anna, and I headed out to the Crawfish Shack in Crosby to pick up a 36 pound bag of mudbugs! Aunt Julie and Aunt Gina met us at the shack- couldn't miss an opportunity to see baby girl!
As soon as we arrived at the Mercer's, the "30% chance of rain" turned into a monsoon! No amount of rain can stop a crawfish boil- especially if there are Cajuns involved :-) Here are some pics!

Getting ready to go in the "hot tub"

My dad did an amazing job at cooking these little guys! So yummy!

As you can see, it was hard to get a picture of us eating them.... they were gone that fast! 

And for the birthday boy's dessert- a giant oreo! 

No pictures of Anna... she was asleep for most of the party! 

Happy birthday to my amazing husband Greg! 28 is going to be a great year!

monkey see, monkey do

Greg decided its time for Anna to learn how to crawl.

Happy Birthday Dad!

On Saturday we celebrated my dad's birthday with a "surprise" crawfish boil! (except its not much of a surprise when they arrive early...!) We had a great time- the Stewarts always know how to throw a great party! Anna even met her first crawfish!

 She's not too amused...

But she sure looks cute in her crawfish dress!

Love the matching shirts... and the Ali photo bomb!

Happy Birthday to the best paw-paw ever! We love you!

Daddy Time

The past couple days, Anna has been getting lots of "daddy time!" On Sunday morning, I was getting ready to leave early for worship practice at church when Greg asked if he could watch Anna and take her to the service. After going through the list of "here's what you do if this happened..." (granted it was only for an hour and half!) I left and they showed up both in one piece! haha! He even brought her hair bow and put matching shoes on :-) Here they are having a lazy Sunday afternoon!

Then on Monday, Greg had to work very late, so he wasn't able to see Anna before I put her to bed. So around 9:00, guess who got to hang out with daddy and watch the college basketball championship game?

Yesterday was the neighborhood's annual HOA meeting, so I had put Anna in the car and started to back out of the driveway until Greg called and said he was coming home early and that he wanted to hang with Anna while I went to the meeting. So I get this text message a little later.... Someone decided to visit the duck pond for an evening walk!

I think its safe to say this little girl has her daddy wrapped around her little finger!
