MIA

I won't have any posts in the next few days. Seth's grandfather (on his mom's side) passed away this past weekend so we are out of town. We don't have good internet access while we are here. I had to drive into "town" to post this! We should be back towards the middle of the week so check back then!

Birthday party at the Jackson Zoo

First, I apologize at the terrible job I've done at blogging this week! Second, we went to a birthday party for a very special little girl, Sara Madalin, at the Jackson Zoo last weekend. Seth was working and I don't like going anywhere by myself with a 16 month old. Well, anywhere that's more than 10 minutes from home. So ReRe and Pops went with us. We decided to go a little early to walk around before the party and Michelle and Madison decided to join us. Despite the wonderful, muggy, Mississippi weather, we had a blast!

Here we are riding the carousel. She wouldn't ride an animal which didn't bother me too much because I got sit down!

Part of the party package was an animal encounter. After a slight mixup by the zoo staff, the kids got to see a bird and this turtle. At first, the worker brought out a snake! You read that correctly, I said A SNAKE! She got within 12 inches of me and I was like "Um, I believe you have the wrong party".
Enjoying the water sprayers. A nice cool-down on a hot day!
I am pretty sure they were talking about boys right here:)
No trip to the zoo is complete without taking a picture looking at the prairie dogs! Too bad there are none in sight here...
She loves letting a fan blow on her!
Petting Zoo time! She actually pet a pig. I couldn't believe she did it. Walking into the petting zoo, the worker said "Only touch the pigs and the goats". My response to him was "Honey, don't you worry about me. I am not touching ANY of these animals".

Madison pet the pig too

Such a diva!

All that activity made somebody a sleepy little girl!

Lately

Here lately we've been on the go ALOT! We've been back and forth between Hattiesburg, Crystal Springs, and Wesson. Here are pictures from all over~

Enjoying some good Sonic ice

Playing in ReRe's pool (not her favorite thing to do, unlike last summer)

Cousins Shelby and Brookley enjoying a slush

Annie and Matthew came home for a very quick trip and we were SO excited to see them!

Jackie came to visit while we were at Annie's house. We had not seen her since her wedding in December! ***Please enjoy this RARE picture of me:)***

Pretty girls!

Uncle Tucker came to stay with us a few days last week and we all went to the park to play for a little while.

Memaw introduced AC to riding around the farm. I promise this child would ride 24/7 if we let her.

Chatting with GrayPop

Checking out the cows

Hanging out at ReRe and Pops' house. Another rare picture of me!

As you can tell, we have really enjoyed getting to go home to visit. When school is going on, Seth doesn't get much time off so we are taking advantage of the time we have now!

Give Me a Hug

Audrey Claire's new thing is giving you a hug. Here she is giving Pawpaw and Pops a big hug! Next time you see her, maybe she will give you one!

I may not post much in the next few days. AC and I are going to be gone for a few days and Seth will have the computer. I have lots of pictures I want to post but I'll have to play catch-up when we get back!

Sleepy Girl

Sometimes, you're just too tired to eat...

Being a Monkey

Last weekend, when we were loading up the car to head to Wesson and Crystal Springs, I walked in the house and this is what I saw~

What a monkey! This swing had been in the trunk of my car so Seth put it in the kitchen until we could figure out somewhere to put it when we got home. When Audrey Claire sees a new toy, she immediately has to explore :)
