A few months ago we went to a professionla photographer to get some baby pictures of the boy. THis is only one of them. the other is hanging from our wall already. We thought it was worth showing everyone 

I know this is an older picture. But we wanted to put a picture of Liam and hhis girl cousins up on the blog. Also I wanted to let everyone know that it's not Nate who is doing the blog right now. He is on his surgery rotation and doesn't have time to keep it updated. I decided to take on the task til he can return. I am not witty like Nate but will try my best to keep you all entertained. Enjoy! 

Liam loved hangging out at the pool while we were in Destin. I'm not sure which he liked the best? The swimming or that football? Dad was so proud. 

Destin, Florida. A little beach town in the pan handle of Florida. It' has become our favorite Vacation spot. A short 4 hours to sunshine bliss.  

This is a pictue at the beach house in Navarre, Florida. We spent a couple of days here, thanks to our friends the Loftins. That's Liam's best friend Porter. Actually Liam is a few months older and takes advantage of his quickly moving hands. He likes to take every toy Porter starts to play with. I keep warning him one day porter's going to be just as big. Liam better watch his back. 

I see you mom.  

A day at the beach! This was Liam's first time seeing the ocean and playing in the sand. He ended up loving it! I think we have a little water baby. 

Just hanging out. Waiting for mom and dad to get ready for the beach 

Nothing but blue sky's 

We slowly got him used to the sand. He thought this was great. And he didn't even put it in his mouth. 

 

What? Your saying I can make all the mess I want too? Sweet! I love the beach. 

The first day we took Liam to the Ocean he wanted nothing to do with the water. It was really cold. This is actually the second day. He seemed to enjoy it this time. 

He finally got used to the ocean, but a little too much. When we tried to take him out of the water, he threw the biggest tantrum until we put him back in the water. In the end he was in waste deep and we dragged him away kicking and screaming!!! 

Happy Mardi Gras! Yes I'm crying. Mom won't stop taking pictures of me, and I'm wearing pink beads! All the other boys are going to make fun of me. C'mon mom give me a break. My cheeks hurt!! 

All ready for our first Mardi Gras parade. Dad couldn't come. He had to study for his shelf exam and needed some quite time to study. So Liam and I went with our friends Ryan and Lora. We practiced, "Throw us somthin mister!" But it sounded more like da da da da 

Mom and Liam at the Mardi Gras parade Muses. This is an all Women parade. They throw out fun stuff like shoe beads, shoe key chains, and nail kits. You know, things every women loves. Especially when they're free. Did I mention Shoes? 

Ryan and Lora. Careful Ryan you could poke your eye out with that spear 

SCORE!! Every parade has a coveted item, and I got it this year at the Muses parade. It's that beautifully decorated womens shoe. It is currently being displayed on the top of our T.V. Our Mardi Gras trophy for 2006. 

Me and my friend Lora at the Muses parade 

What's better than bathtime? Bathtime with beads! 

We are at our favorite parade called KREWE D'ETAT. Thiss years theme was "D' Olympics D' Etat. Fridge Hurling" Every Year they find something to mock. This year was obviously the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. Some of the other floats were titled, " Wet the games begin." "got milk? For the Mayor of New Orleans and his Chocolate city comment " Houston's problem now." "Benson the Maggot inside." Because all of the fridges were covered in maggots, since there was no electricity and plenty of rotten food. It was once again our favorite parade.  

Rock on baby! 

Look at all our loot. "mom I don't want to take a picture, it's past my bedtime!" 

Yee Ha! Liam and I in Nashville Tennessee.
