Crawfish Boil 2009

Thursday night Lenee & Baby Dan Michael came in town for our annual crawfish boil. Nola took to him immediately and wanted to take care of him.
Fun time in the tub!

Thursday night we just took it easy and caught up!

Friday I had to work and Ne watched the kids. Nola woke up with a little fever so we gave her Tylenol and she seemed to be okay. After work we went to Home Depot and got flowers to plant in the back yard. Ne worked her magic and the flowers came out so nicely. Thanks Ne! Friday night we got a babysitter while Jay, Ne and I went to SOGO for dinner.

Nola wore Dan Michael out so much, he fell asleep in the high chair. It was sooo cute! He was sleeping when Jen came over to watch the kids so when he woke up he FREAKED! Poor Jen called us and said he wouldn't stop crying. We cut our night short and brought the party home!

Saturday was the big day...the CRAWFISH BOIL! Everything was pretty much done ahead of time so we waited around for everyone to show up. It was supposed to rain so Jay was really stressed out but the weather held out and the crawfish were DELICIOUS!

GREAT JOB JAY!

"Hey guys! What are y'all doing in there? Wanna come play with the crawfish?"
"Okay Nola, help us escape and we'll make a run for it!"
"Sorry guys! It's every man for himself when it comes to crawfish...I really don't feel well but I don't want to miss out...and I have my crawfish shirt! Mmmm! Daddy you did a great job!"

THANKS TO EVERYONE for making the party so much fun!

We had a great time and can't wait till next year!

Sunday was a day of recovery and relaxing! The weather turned cool but the sun was still out so we took the kids to the park!

SMILE!

"Okay Dan Michael let's blow this joint...I know a great ice cream place right up the road!"

"Oh sure...we can take the train too!"

"Aunt Ne..You're CRAZY!"

It was a little windy so we headed back home to meet Caitlin, Ryan & Lily to eat some of the leftovers! Lily and Dan Michael really hit it off!

Dan Michael getting his first taste of Mississippi Mud Pie!

Do you think he liked it?

MMMM! Good!

"Oh Man..Don't cry Lily...it was just a love pinch!"

"You better watch out..."

Poor Nola was sick!
We took her to the dr. on Monday and they said she had a cold with a mild pneumonia (her cough was coming from her lungs) and they put her on an antibiotic!

Ne and I spent her last day hanging out together since both kids weren't feeling well.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for visiting with us.
We had a great time and can't wait for you to come back!
