Pics From Bastrop, LOTS of Pics

Finally! The last part of trip is now posted! :-) We finished off our trip in Bastrop. It was a whirlwind, but an absolute blast! I have posted lots of fun, entertaining pics! Its a bunch, but nowhere near what I really took! :-)

Hope you enjoy the pics as much as I had taking them and being there to take them!

This is fun Unkie Pawpaw!

If I could just figure out how to start this thing!

Vrooom! That's what this button is for!

Great Grandma 'Rie is gonna get you!

Haha! No my Grandpa is NOT flipping Kainaan off! He is showing him that he has no tip on his finger. I still, to this day, do not know the real story behind his missing fingertip. He always told me that one day he was fishing and a fish bit it off! Hahahaha!!! The stories he would tell! I think maybe a roofing accident or an accident when he worked at the paper mill??? Could someone fill me in??

Aww! Great Grandpa baby talking to his Great Grandbaby! Priceless!

Grandma stole some sugar!! Priceless!

Cousin Misty's funny!

Will definitely be framing this picture! :-)

Later that night...the fair...the meltdowns. This was a brief fun moment.

Cousin Ashlyn taking Kainaan for a ride! Wheeeeee!!!!

Master Griller! Hot Wings & Hot Dogs...Come and get it!!!

Another fun toy...the Pogo Stick!

Pogo stick or hot dog??

I think he will have both!

Cousin Brennan's turn to take Kainaan for a spin!

Kainaan was jumping up and down at the same time Uncle Mike was jumping. It was cute!

Man, MORE fun toys!! Unkie Papwpaw is a man of many talents!

3 little monkeys!

Wow! I haven't even thought of this since I was a kid! So much fun!

Good Morning! Breakfast time!!

Brennan's Ranch-Style Birthday Party! Kainaan did great keeping up with the big kids!

Giddy up horsie! Horsie says "Neaaaa"

On to the hay ride! Yippie! Kainaan's favorite!

He tore into that cake like nobody's business!

What a stud! LOL! :-)

Dig into that chocolate/caramel dipped apple! Yummy!!

Kainaan looking at what's left of our bonfire. We roasted wienie's before the cake.

Kainaan is actually sharing! He is already wooing the ladies!

Gimmie some sugar!! He is a little charmer! Lexi was so adorable, he's got good taste!

And no, that's not a cousin. Just a friend of the family!

Aww! Proud Mamma! Misty and Adyson

Aunt Sonya and her girls! ~Shelly, Aunt Sonya, Adyson, & Misty~

Hey Unkie Pawpaw! You sleeping?

Aunt Sonya and Adyson

Beautiful North LA foggy morning. ~Yep, 80 MPH down I-20~

Love me a Louisiana Sunrise. Right where I need to be!

Pics of the Trolley Car In N'Awlins

After the zoo, we went down to the French Quarter. I took a crap load of pics, but I will post those later. These pics are from us riding 'Thomas' or so that's what Kainaan called it. We rode from the Harrah's Casino Area to the Cemeteries! Kainaan loved every minute of it...he just doesn't get that its pretty gross, and some of the people on it were, umm, GROSS! But hey that's what they make hand sanitizer for, right? Anyways, enjoy the pics. :-)

Waiting at the Trolley Stop.

He is sooo excited to ride on 'Thomas.'

Hmmm...What seat will I sit on now?

This one looks fun!

Yes, Meme. I am putting my head in the window, don't want it to get knocked off with a lamp post or sign or something.

Watchin' where we have been. He was so excited!

Pictures of New Orleans Zoo

Here are pics from our Zoo Trip in New Orleans. It was a crazy day. Kainaan was not very cooperative with us, therefore, we blew through it quickly. We did manage to get some pics of him smiling and being nice, so I will only post those. Of course, there a tons more, but too many to post...they are mostly of the animals. Maybe I will save those for a day that I have nothing to share. Enjoy the pics!

Starting our day. And posing with Meme!

Feeding the ducks and turtles.

Come and get it guys!! Lunch time!

Yeah, I am here...he didn't want to take the pic, he wanted to pull the damn wagon! :-)

C'mon Meme! There is more ground to cover.

Meme is tired! We climbed Monkey Hill.

Rope Bridge at Monkey Hill...very cool area!

Cousin Amy and Kainaan...again, he didn't want to take a picture...

FINALLY! He posed!

This guy was so cool! He didn't look real, but he was...he moved!

The Louisiana Portion of the Zoo...so neat!

Break time in the Swamp!

Loved the colors on this guy...or girl, whatever...

Aaahhh! This cool mist feels good.

Where is this coming from?

He finally got tired and gave in!

Yeah, he's over the zoo...and so are we! It was a tough time with him. He wore us out!

Halloween Pictures 2008

Happy Halloween Everybody! Yeah, I am a day late...what's new? so we had a fun time last night. We went to Brett and Alison's house and went Trick-or-Treating with them and some of their family. Kainaan didn't get the hang of it at first. He would walk up to the doors and the minute someone opened the door, he would back up saying, "No! Noo! No!" I guess I should be thankful, it can be a sign that he knows what a stranger is. But after the first couple of houses, he got it! He even tried opening a few doors when the people inside didn't move fast enough. It was funny! And the best part was when a bald man came to the door to give Kainaan candy...Kainaan said, "Trick Tweet Pop" and "Thank you, Pop." We cracked up...guess every bald man is Tim's Dad! Ha! Anyways, after leaving The Spradlen's, we stopped by Liz and Jackie's house. They work with Tim, and they have babysat Kainaan for us before. They are so fun! Their house was decorated from corner to corner! And Jackie was The Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz. She looked great! Well, enjoy the pics!
