Because Justin's parents and my sister live in Baton Rouge, it's always challenging to split our time evenly. So before we had Briggs we started this new system....we start off at one of their houses on the first day and spend the night. We leave the next day around lunch to go to the other persons house and spend the night. Then leave to go home the next day. It's worked out well because then we don't spend all our time driving back and forth between houses (which are about an hour apart).
Here are some pics from G-Maw and Pa-Paw's house. This 3-wheeler is one that Justin and Landon rode when they were little...Briggs seems to like it :)
G-Maw and Briggs. They gave him that hat..it says "I hunt for hugs"
And here are Abby and I ready to set off on our sister date to New Orleans. We went to the jewelry show for the morning. It was so fun to just get away with my sister and hang out. We don't get to do that often without the babies.
Abby brought Brooks to play with Briggs while we were gone. We are so thankful our families are close and get along good. It was great knowing that the babies could play together at my in-laws house while we were gone on a sister date.
While we were gone, Brooks (left) and Briggs (right) played with G-Maw and Justin. These babies sure are focused...
And now we had moved to Abby and Josh's house. Cade was added to the bunch. Couldn't get Briggs to smile (which is unusual), but he had an unbelievably large poop right after this picture which then lightened his mood...just thought yall might want to know that...hehe :)
We decided to take a walk to the pond in their neighborhood to take a few pics, feed the ducks and let Cade fish with his new fishing pole.
And then Cade caught his first fish with his first fishing pole! That was exciting and Justin got it all on camera...YAY CADE!
Here are the babies getting ready for the photo shoot. Briggs was checking Brooks out with that gatorade bottle...sometimes I wish I knew what was going through that kids head :)
And here is the cutest little picture of Brooks and Cade
Which Abby was having to work for those smiles...jumping around behind Justin...before we knew it...GUESS WHO JUMPED RIGHT OFF THE EDGE OF THE GRASS INTO THE LAKE!...it was H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S!!!! and Justin of course got it all documented on camera.
THEN...we went to eat dinner at Sammy's and had some awesome fried pickles, mozzarella sticks, shrimp poboys and boiled crawfish...YUMMY! Then Brooks dumped a whole cup of water onto Abby's lap! It was awesome..and not her day with water...but at least she just kept on rolling with it and smiling :)
To end the trip...here is our little family pic. We weren't exactly dressed up..but just wanted to get a cute pic while we were all together with someone to take the shot.
As you can see...we had such a great trip. Loved getting to spend time with my sister, getting the kids together and seeing Justin's parents. Even though we swapped a stomach bug for a cold...it was great memories and lots of pics to show it :)
If that Briggs gets any cuter I'm going to have to eat him. =o)
