The Birthday Event

I hope I look this good when I'm 83!! Pictures from Maw-Maw's birthday party:

Forest was having a blast!

We don't really keep chips like Cheetos in the house. Can you tell? Boy was Caroline really into them:

Deacon was just a little sad that the dog was out and about:

The dog was convinced that this pool toy was a real alligator, real prey. It was actually hard to get it away from her!

This was after swimming all day, not having a nap, and eating all the junk food she could handle. Notice the face that is so proud of getting over on her mom and dad. She was living like a teenager this day!

Late Summer Happenings

The end of our summer was great! Caroline started a new preschool and adjusted so well it impressed all of us. Here are some pictures of some of the other fun things we managed to pack into August before school started!

Our friend Evan's birthday party:

You can see here she is really thinking hard about the cake and candle thing! She was really watching hard and loving the idea.It was a backyard water park party. This is where she chose to sit herself. Yep. Right at the end of the slip and slides. Don't ask me why, she is just Caroline.

Then she found this motorcycle, and the slip and slide was history. Boy, she loved riding this thing!

The Carwash for our Mardi Gras Krewe

Please do not be fooled by this picture. Neither Caroline or her mommy did any manual labor at this particular carwash. She played in the suds and I watched. Her daddy, however, worked very hard at washing cars.

Pictured here with Caroline is the queen of the Krewe this year, who has tried so hard at every event to befriend Caroline. Unfortunately, it hasn't worked yet...but we do have a few months left before we resort to candy bribery.
