Stennis Space Center

This past weekend was rainy here, so we were on the hunt for an indoor activity.  We've been talking about driving out to the Stennis Space Center, so we decided this was a good time for it.  Once again, I managed to leave the good camera in the car-in my defense it was pouring and we were trying to get both kids with umbrellas into the building AND we forgot the stroller too!  We still got a few pictures of some of the fun the kids had. Unfortunately,the kids were too tired to do the bus tour so we didn't get to see the entire grounds, but had fun all the same.

Our little astronauts!! 

Neither of the kids wanted to have their picture taken in the large spacesuit cut out and it was a close call to get Sheila's picture at all.  Right after I took this picture, she pushed (or kicked I don't know) the cut out down, looked at it, and walked away.  Yeah, we have just a little attitude and I have NO idea where she gets it from ;)




Jake really liked looking at the large models and they had a few models that we could walk through.  Daddy really enjoyed the flight simulator and let Jake sit on his lap while he did it- I think that was just so that the kids in line didn't complain about the old man playing :-)

The kids got some Astronaut ice cream as a treat, and ate it after bath time (which explains the pj's and wet hair).  They both really liked their treat!!

            YUMMY!!!

A little behind...

So I knew it had been awhile since I had a minute to sit down and update the blog, but didn't realize it had been almost a month!!  There has been a lot going on in the last few weeks, but in my scattered brain mommy moments I have often forgotten the camera :(

Here is Sheila modeling a dress that
Tillie and Heidi had pictures taken in a few years
ago. It almost doesn't fit anymore, so we snapped some
shots while we could. And yes, she posed like that on
her own...each time I took a picture!

Mawmaw and Paw made it down for a visit.  It wasn't easy getting them here, but after an hour delay leaving Indy and having Delta change their flight from Atlanta to get them into New Orleans (surprise to them when they thought they had missed their flight to Gulfport) they did make it here!!  It was great to see them and the kids loved having them here...Sheila was all about giving Paw-Paw a big kiss!!!  We took them to New Orleans for a coupe of days and although I don't have a lot of pictures to show for it, I did take a few.

threw his fit

Right before we left for the airport. I only had my phone, so not the best
quality, but it works in a pinch!
