Family Outing

We loaded the kids up on this gorgeous Sunday and headed to City Park to let Emerson and Baker play. We have never taken Baker to the dog park which requires both of us going. He was not thrilled at first but ended up making a few pals and running around. Emerson had a fun time as well. We ended up spending most of our time sitting on the grass listening to these random free-spirited group of people playing some great music. Of course Emerson heard it and had to go check it out. These people were really good in engaging the kids and constantly handed them different instruments to play. Everyone seemed to enjoy the day and the music.

Happy Halloween 2009

Emerson had a great Halloween as an LSU cheerleader. She truly dressed the part even with fingernails and toenails drenched in purple and gold. She is already planning next Halloween and has informed me that I will be dressed as a Mermaid. UMMM. Okay. I will start working in that. And she will be either a nice witch or Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz or a princess.

Troop A Day

We spent about an hour at Troop A Day today. It was so nice and she had lots of fun checking all the Police stuff out. She was a hit considering it was mostly little boys and their dads. She got to do whatever she wanted. Here she is on a police motorcycle. In a firetruck.

In a coast guard boat.

And hanging with Patches the Fire Safety dog. Her school is learning about Fire Safety right now and will be doing a field trip to the Fire Station soon, so we was all up on the information they were teaching her about fires, stop, drop and roll and dialing 911.

Her audience

This is how Emerson has decided her bed needs to look now. She says she needs her audience. She sits each and everyone of these babies on this bed herself. She will sit and read to them, sing and dance while they watch. I hear her discussing all sorts of things with these friends. Lord- where have they been and can they help her pick-up!!

I Know...I Know

SORRY! Lots going on these days. Here are a few.
Emerson and Baker playing dress-up. Emerson and Uncle Paul driving the train. She thought she was hot stuff!

Playing in the back yard- crown and all.

Halloween is coming up, so you know I will have lots to post then.

A cool morning a few weeks ago

On one of those very cool mornings we had a few weeks ago, we went for a walk down to the park to play. I got her a long sleeved t-shirt and a pair of shorts. I kid you not, this is how she came out after putting on her shoes and socks. She was ready to go and this is how she went to the park to play. Seriously, what are we in for???

James Rene Caballero

I am so excited to say that James Rene Caballero was born Friday, October 9. He weighed 6 lbs and 6 oz and is 20 inches long. Kim, Rene and Jack are doing great! I think Jack is the proudest of all. He is going to be a great big brother.
