surprise shoot with granny!

Since granny was in Beaumont at Jeremy and Mandy's (my brother-in-laws), me and Logan went to go visit! I really do wish I could help out more over there since Mandy has so much on her hands between the three kids and packing up/selling everything to move to Malaysia in two weeks. I have to say, she is stronger than anyone I know because I sure as heck couldn't handle it. Kudos Mandy, kudos! 

In an attempt to keep the kids busy while Mandy tried to gain some sort of sanity back, me and granny had the kids out back entertaining each other. When they all have something to do, they are actually a great bunch of kids. 



It's been forever since I got a picture of all four of them (actually, not since Logan was like 2 months old), so of course I had to get one before they move. I'd say they came out decent considering it was four kids with the shortest attention spans known to man. 



Ice cream really did the trick in keeping them quiet and still, even if it only lasted two minutes. 

I also wanted to get some of granny with all of the grandkids since we didn't have any.. I wish I would've just recorded the whole thing. Pictures do not do that little amount of time we spent trying to get photos justice.

I only picked a few to put up because I'm positive my mother-in-law would murder me if I actually posted some of them. Instead, I plan to give her a CD with them so that she can share when/if she feels like it.






Poor granny was actually taken to the ground, where she then took on "tickles" which I'm sure felt more like tiny jabs in the gut. She also got some actual jabs too, along with three of the four kids jumping on her, and using her as a jungle gym. I had a lovely time watching hahah. Logan did too.. he played it smart and sat by me, safe from all the mayhem.

Those kids always provide great entertainment, I love it!

Home!

and we have awesome news!!! Mike gave in and finally quit his out of town job, so he will be home all the time now! YAY!!! So excited that he won't miss Logan growing up, and he will be home with me every night. Also, the shop is picking back up, and big things are about to happen (watch out rival shops, its about to get crazy!)

Anyways, we definitely had a good time visiting granny and pops, and already miss them! We went ahead and visited Mike's grandma too which is always nice. Logan had a blast, and I'm glad we got the chance to visit her. We also saw uncle jacob and his girlfriend, and had some delicious deer meat.. (I NEED to have Mike bring some home this winter so I can make it.. it is sooo good).





'Til next time Louisiana!

a visit to granny

since school is done for a few weeks, and mike is out of town, me and LJ packed up and headed to granny's house! (mikes mom)


 Normally our trips to granny's house take awhile because Logan throws fits for us to stop every other hour, but this time, we only stopped once. The last hour though, I had to play "Elmo's song" on repeat.. (if I didn't know every word before, I do now)

I was worried about Logan being shy and not wanting to see granny and pops (mikes step-dad), but he did great! I think he remembered his granny. He was a bit shy with pops at first, but warmed up to him after some bribery with snacks, and getting to pet the deer on the wall. Logan loves the deer. 

I love being out here, its always relaxing, and a nice break. I love driving down the winding roads at any speed you want, and how quiet it is.. I would love to live out this way someday, and I think Mike would too. 

So far we've spent our time napping, watching kids movies on VHS (yes, on tape..), watching some toddler and tiaras, and playing with Logan. In fact, today, he took his very first steps!! Started with one, and by the end of the night, he was taking three to four. I am one proud mama, I just wish Mike was here to see. I also wish Mikes dad was here, because I know he has been waiting for it to happen. 

Tomorrow or Friday, I am going to take LJ to see Mikes grandma. She is such a sweet lady, and I know she is going to be so excited to see Logan. 

This is definitely a good way to end the summer!
