Happy Birthday America!!!

I am way behind in posting this but I am finally getting to our 4th of July pictures!  We headed to Shreveport to celebrate the holiday weekend and had a great time.  We hung out on the farm when we got there on Friday.  On Saturday, Shawn helped my mom buy a laptop and get things set up for her to have wireless internet-it turned out to be an all day afair so GranSan treated him to crawfish that night!  For the 4th we celebrated at Jerry and Janet's lakehouse and had so much fun.  It was the first time that entire side of the family has been together at the same time since Em was born...way too long! 

16 months one day, 16 and driving a real car tomorrow!  GranSan couldn't resist the little car anymore!

Faster GranSan...this is GREAT!!!

Peek-a-boo!

Why do we all spend a fortune on toys?!

Aunt Janet put all the perfect touches on Em's first trip to the lakehouse!

I think I am winning GranSan!

This time Em LOVED Missy-she laughed hysterically when she saw her-too funny!

She finally convinced somebody to take her outside!  Thanks Uncle Jerry!

Why can't I jump off the pier?!

Maggie was thrilled the plans included water!

OK, y'all have all been saying we are going to swim.  Is it finally time?!  Jamie and Em  are ready!

She loved the boat.  Even with the water so rough she ended up almost falling asleep!

Jaf, when do I get to drive?!

Blowing bubbles with Nate and Jamie-by the end of the day she was saying "bubbles"!

Somewhere along the way Nate got stuck with babysitting duty-Em was in heaven!

Shelly getting plenty of kisses before we left to hold her over!
