Global Wildlife

This past weekend Barrett and I brought the kids to Global Wildlife. The weather was perfect and we just couldn't pass up the day. There was a nice breeze and the sun was shining. The animals were active. They were playing, chasing each other, even fighting. The kids had so much fun watching them get so active. Normally they just follow you around for food. Today they were playing. We made it about 80% of the way through before my kids had had enough. Landon laid his head on my lap and Elena put her food cup down and they were done. It was WAY after lunch time and I'm sure they were feeling that. This was a good day though. They had a great time.

Fair Weekend

This weekend was the St. Tammany Parish Fair weekend. Krissy and I decided to bring the kids to ride. We got there bright and early trying to beat the crowds. Good thing we did. They got to ride acouple hours and then it got packed after

that. Krissy took

Anthony and Hailey off to ride the bigger rides and I hung out with Ashleigh, Elena, and Landon. So as the pics will show, no photos of Krissy's other two.

After we left the fair, we decided to split kids. She took the boys for the night and I took the girls.

I think I got the raw end of that

deal lol. Those boys are so easy going. The girls stayed up until 1am. We took them out to dinner and then we had a girls night. We did facials, manicures, and

pedicures. They were so cute and they said they had fun doing it.

Happy Birthday to the Heap Babies!

August is both of my children's birthdays so this yearwe decided that they were a good age to let them have a party together. A few months before the party we talked about themes and let the kids decide. As soon as we said Pirate and Princess Party they knew that was it. We'd do pirates for the boys and princesses for the girls. Now immediately I had a vision in my head. And I knew that vision would be a lot of work for mom. We made a castle and a pirate ship. We made tutus and wands for the girls and bought tiaras. The boys got pirate vests, eye patches, bandanas, and swords. I also found these really cute cake pop ideas online and of course had to do it. But the day of their party made all of that hard word totally worth it.

We had their party in grandma and granpa's backyard. We let them invite a few friends from school. They were so excited come party day. I think this is one of their favorite birthdays yet. The huge thank you I got from both of my babies after this party was over was the best thing ever. Happy birthday Elena & Landon!
