Happy 'Bertday' Eli

Kainaan's friend, Eli, turned 3 this past weekend and we were invited to the party! It was so fun! Kainaan had a blast playing and running around. Here are some pics of all the fun!
PS-Kainaan and Eli know each other from school. They were in the same class last year, and again this year.

My Handsome Boy!

Playing in the racetrack area.

More fun!

He loved the indoor 'tree house'

Kainaan was ready for some cake!

My Little Musician.

And my little water bug!

He was fascinated!

Now we are shopping in the market area.

And now we are the cashier!

Of course, he finds the train!

He played with the train for FOREVER!!

Anxiously awaiting for cake!

Eli, the birthday boy!

Kainaan had to help open presents.

Oh yes, that's a Thomas Toy...and Kainaan wanted it!

Eli, with Mom and Dad.

Thomas-Mania At Our House

We are having Thomas-Mania in our home right now! Paw Paw Billy and Karen sent Kainaan some more Thomas stuff! This is his Thanksgiving presents...Is he spoiled or what?!? I don't remember getting presents for Thanksgiving! I guess that's the joy of going from parents to grandparents! Spoiling is a Grandparents' game! I can't decide who is having more fun though...Dad and Karen shopping for the Thomas stuff, or Kainaan playing with it. He has been entertained for hours! Its great!! :-) And he is loving his new Conductor's Costume, and I must say, He looks so cute in it! And Monday when he goes to school, he is going to carry his new Thomas Lunchbox with the biggest smile on his face! He is so proud of it! Anyways, here are some pics of Kainaan and his best friends!

**Thank you Dad and Karen! He is very well entertained!

Kainaan on his new Thomas Couch.

He lines them up just right!

He is fascinated!!

Talking to Paw Paw Billy.

Thank you Paw Paw Billy!

He is in heaven!

He loves his new Rumbling Bridge! Every time Thomas goes over it, it shakes!

C'mon Thomas, go this way!

Kainaan dressed as the Conductor...Sir Topham Hat!

Kainaan saying, "Choo Choo!"

I'm Walkin' Through New Orleans

OK-I said I would post some random pics of New Orleans & the Zoo when I had nothing else to post, so here they are. I have played with them in my Photoshop...enhanced the sharpness, color, and so on. Anyways, enjoy the pics. I plan on blowing up some of them for print and framing them. What do you think?

Left Hand on Red, Right Foot on Blue!

Yep, you guessed it...the wonderful game of TWISTER! :-) Our friends, TJ and Karissa, came over yesterday so we all could see LSU get their butts handed to them and grill out. After eating and sulking over LSU's loss, we decided to play Scattergories. That lasted for about an hour, and we decided our brains hurt from thinking too much. So we broke out Twister! It was hilarious. Of course the guys would team up on me and Karissa and use their size to push us over and tangle us. Damn cheaters! :-) Anyways, we played for a while! All of us were so sore and tired! That game is hard to do when you aren't little kids anymore!
Well, enjoy the pics!


TJ in charge of the directions.


Me and Karissa doing OK, for the moment!


Poor Karissa! Don't look up! LOL!


All tangled up and nowhere to go!


Tim, if you fart on me!!!


Hang in there Karissa!


OHH!! TJ pushes his way to a victory!


Karissa loved playing with my camera!



Awww! How sweet! Can you tell they are not married yet? :-)
