6 years!

Josh and I celebrated our anniversary this weekend. All of Elle's grandparents were out of town so I thought it might be a good time for us to find a good babysitter since she's NEVER stayed with one. But her daddy wanted to take her along so she got to join us. She did really good at dinner and even ate half of my food which was mahi mahi with cajun sauce and shrimp. It was spicy but she LOVED it----so i got stuck eating her cheese grits! Go figure!
Elle also had her 2 year check-up this week (okay i was a month late with her appt :)
her stats were: weight 27.4 lbs (60%) height 34 and 1/2 inches (60%)

enjoyed her brownie a la mode

Mother's Day 2011

We loaded up for our annual mother's day trip to Ocean Springs for the weekend. Josh's mom and sister joined us and we had a large time. It was Mayfest in downtown so they had bands, art, and food. It was great weather and a fun weekend!

The table Josh had ready for me when I got home on Sunday. He cooked filet, potatoe, roasted tomatoes, garlic bread, and caesar salad! Yummy----best daddy ever.

Pajamas and Pancakes

Elle had her 2nd bday party this weekend so we had a "Pajamas and Pancakes" party. All of the kids wore their favorite pj's and feasted on pancakes, sausage, donuts, and birthday cake. Sugar overload but is was a blast.

Easter 2011

We had a big Easter this year. Elle was not about the bunny this year and would say "no bunny. bunny hurt you" it was so cute when she would say that! We went to our annual Eggstravaganza at canebrake and saw the bunny, hunted eggs, and ate some good food. On Easter Sunday, we went to Laurel to church with my family and then to my parents house for lunch and some sun.

Zoo Blues

We went to the zoo on saturday for it's 61st bday. They have done some revamping and added a new splash park. Elle had some much fun hanging with her friends riding the train, the carosel, and playing in the splash park.
