My dad and his wife Corinne came to support us on the big day.

The gangs all here. Farewell to our great friends the McDonalds and the Fifes. Two of the things we'll miss most about N.O.

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans?

Thanks Louis. The perfect ending to the last four years.

Our last and final swamp tour

I don't think there's many swamps in Hershey PA?

My brother Aaron's family

Justin, Marie and Dan

Liam and Cousin Lukey before the swamp tour.

My beautful little nephew Landon. Doesn't say much, but with a smile like that who needs to?

Playing in the new "water ball" with Kate

We got this ball you hook up to the hose and it shoots water out the top.

Oh to be a child again. You notice I'm taking these pictures, not in them. The water is FREEZING cold!!

"

This picture melts my heart. Liam and his cousin Tessa have become the best of friends over the last few months. I think this picture's hallmark worthy.

Water baby

So once again we went to the beach and it was still a little cold outside and the water is no where near warm, but that's where Liam wanted to be. This kid can smell water from a mile away.

The Beach

Liam kept making them get closer and closer to the waves. I'm worried for the future. He's my little dare devil.

The boys

This is one of my favorite pictures. The boys playing in the waves.

Sand baby

Clairie enjoyed our day at the beach, but really enjoyed eating the sand. YUM

Dumbo

As a graduation gift, Nates parents took us to disneyland for spring break. We went to Disneyland, the beach and the aquarium. It was so much fun, and Liam had a great time hanging out with his cousin Claire who we don't get to see that often.

What do you remember most about Disneyland? Well, I'd forgotten how looong the lines were. We waited in line for the Dumbo ride for over an hour. Liam kept trying to slip through the fence. He didn't understand why we were waiting we we could just butt in line?

Kisses

Blowing kisses was Claires favorite thing to do with uncle Nate.

Mom and Liam

While dad went on another free fall ride me and Liam went on a rocket swing ride. Much easier on my stomach.

Tower of Terror

This was my first time to experience the tower of terror. I'm not a big fan of free fall rides, but this one was fun.

Elise & Claire

Carosel

It's a small world after all

I hope this brings back some childhood memories for some of you. Maybe I am twisted but this ride always makes me think of the Simpson's episode where Lisa drinks the water at Duffland

Grandbabies

There's nothing better than spending time with your grandkids. (so I'm told)

Small world

Waiting in line for my favorite ride as a child, which also happened to be Liams? Who doesn't love it's a small world?

Nana and Bompa

Just hanging with my nana and bompa.

where am I?

The next ride we went on was the haunted mansion. He was a little nervous (as you can tell) but didn't cry.

Pirates

Liams first ride at disneyland was on Pirates of the Caribbean. He didn't really like it one way or the other. It's still a favorite of mine.

Disneyland is hard work

About mid day Liam was very compliant and would take an afternoon nap in his stroller.

Nemo

Of course Liams favorite exhibit was the Nemo/Dory one. He would have stayed there all day had we let him. Fish are his favorite things these days. So Bompa had to buy him a stuffed animal about the same size as he is. You would have thought he'd given him gold. You'll see it pop up in later pictures I'm sure.

Easter

Us with Nates family on Easter

Clara and Claire

While we were in Cali we met up with nates cousin and her family to celebrate easter. The two girls matched. Not on purpose. But cute all the same.

Swings his favorite past time

Normally when Liam eats Cheetos, he looks like he swam in them first, but hey mom won one, just put them in an orange vest and he looks spotless.

The Birthday Boy

Liam and his cousin Tessa are only a few weeks apart so we had a joint birthday party for them again this year. I can't believe they are already two? Time goes by so fast.
We went to a park and had dinner. The only problem was I ordered warm weather and it was freezing. They must not have gotten my memo. All in all it was a success thanks to D and everyone else who help.

The birthday girl Tessa.

Liams cousins got him this Elmo tool bench, which he wanted open that minute and threw a tantrum cause I wouldn't open it for him. Don't you love the terrible twos?

I see you mom.

You go to a park, and what's the kids favorite thing to play in? The water fountain!

spoiled

Papa Hobbesie (my dad) and Corinne gave Liam this huge easter basket full of fun toys. After he pulled everything out he decided to sit in it himself, my idea of a perfect easter gift to Mom.

, originally uploaded by nennypoulson.

I've decided toy makers must not have kids themselves! Corinne gave him this easter rabbit that sings and moves, which he absolutely loves. All day long I have the song Petter cottontail going through my mind. "hippity hoppity easters on its way..."

As you can tell he LOVES suckers
