Random Summer pictures

Here are some pictures of how we have been spending the summer around here. Not a whole lot going on so Parker has spent a lot of time outside playing in the water in her diaper, climbing on anything she can, and throwing an occasional temper tantrum :) So excited about the terrible two's!!!!

The first baby who doesn't get a lot of picture time anymore :(

May 2011

Evidently I didn't take many pictures in May because this is all I can find. We went to Stewart's Mom's Lake House at Center Hill Lake over Memorial Day weekend and here are a couple of pictures "CoCo" took.

CoCo and Parker hanging out

Going on a walk with CoCo and Daddy with her bucket to collect rocks. The girl loves some rocks!!

We went to the catfish pond while we were there. These catfish are HUGE and Parker was scared of them. Needless to say, that didn't last long.

New Orleans

Stewart and I went on a vacation before Easter to New Orleans. I had never been and Stewart had beenfor work but not spent much time exploring the city. I have no pictures of the two of us but here are a few from the trip. It was nice to have some time just to ourselves but we missed little bit. The trip was partly for my 30th birthday and partly because we didn't go anywhere for our 5th anniversery back in August.

This is what you do when you get married in the French Quarter in New Orleans---you have a parade in honor of yourself!!! I totally would have done this and loved every minute of it!

The Voodoo queen or princess' tomb.

The cemetaries...much different than in TN

The trolly

Another parade for newly marrieds.

Final Easter Egg Hunt

More Easter pictures from the Easter Egg hunt at my grandparents house.

Mimi (my mom) and Parker

My uncle's house now but it was my grandparents house and what I grew up going too. It originally was a log home and is over 200 years old and been in the family that long.

Parker and "CoCo" (Stewart's mom) made the dress.

The Easter bunny came and might have gotten a little carried away between us and my parents....the Easter bunny needs better communication next year :)

Happy Easter

Since we missed our Church's Easter egg hunt we went to Hopkinsville for my parent’s church Easter egg hunt. We had fun and we got to hunt eggs with some of the cousins. Here is the where they were taking pictures with the Easter Bunny. Please note that in all 70 pictures that I took trying to get one of Parker smiling or at least with her hands out of her mouth, my mom whispers to me that she had just had really buttery popcorn for the first time and was licking her fingers for the butter. Nice! So in EVERY picture she has her hands in her mouth. Here she is with the bunny, Landon and Kendall.

Still licking........

April showers bring......

A LARGE TREE FALLING DOWN While Stewart was having fun at the Masters and I was at my parents house, I got a call that a tree had fallen at our house. This is NOT what I had expected when Dad and I arrived to check it out. Needless to say---it got our house and our neighbors. Thankfully, this tree didn't cause the amount of damage that it could have and luckily we were not here! We are in the process of dealing with the contractor for the insurance company and hope to get everything fixed soon! Our neighbors house
