Baton Rouge Trip

We finally made it down to Baton Rouge.  We have only tried TWO other times and three if you count the summer.  Justin was working a ton this summer, even on the weekends. Our first official planned trip, Justin got sent out of town for work.  The second planned trip, Briggs got sick.  So needless to say, we were excited to FINALLY get down there when we did.

Our main purpose was to meet this little guy...

Landon "Ty" Poland, Jr.

He is our newest little nephew.

G-maw has him here

 Aunt Iris got her a little snuggle time

 And uncle J...

I think we both forgot how tiny those new babies are

Here is the whole gang...Ty decided he needed to sleep

And Briggs still isn't sure who his G-maw his holding

And here are the proud parents

Landon and Jamie

Briggs had fun with his uncle Landon

 Briggs likes to be thrown really high :)

Briggs even got to go to church with G-maw so she could show him to all her friends

Then we moved our party over to LSU Tiger territory.

We spent time with Abs and her family.

The boys got to see Mike the Tiger

Our LSU visit brought back so many memories.  

It's where Justin and I met...and now look at us 

11 years later and 1.5 kids

**disclaimer...I'm that not fat, just in that awkward, starting to get a baby bump stage...hate that!**

Then on to Aunt Abs and Uncle Josh's house for some play time

And they just kept getting wet and dirty 

so we just stripped them down and let them go in their diapers.

Had to get a couple cousin shots

to end the day we all went to feed the ducks

little tubby refused to feed the ducks..he thought that was wasteful 

so he decided to eat it himself

a great ending to a great visit

We were able to make our visit a little longer...Friday to a Monday which means we packed some stuff in there.  Got to visit some of our good friends for dinner, spent the day with baby Ty (Landon and Jamie), saw Justin's parents, spent some time with Abs and her famly including visiting LSU, even had time to swing by our old church (where we got married) and say hey to a few people.

We were all tired when we got home, but it was a good visit and we got to do a lot of stuff.  More importantly we got to spend time with family, which is always good.
