The End of WMS

I go to get Audrey at school Friday and she is CRYING! My sweet girl is sooooo sad that school is out. She is excited to do somethings this summer, but still wants to go to school. She has LOVED Wildflower Montessori and her teachers. I hope she transitions okay to AEP in the fall, at least 3 of her current classmates will be in her class so maybe that will help. She is so smart and loves to learn...just like her momma! HA!

They had their end of the year party of Wednesday and I went along to help drive. The party was at a playground and the kids had sooo much fun. I am glad I went, too. I went a little overboard with the pictures, but I am a momma, what can I say??


Miss Lauren helped Audrey get on this cool thing that you balance and walk on. Audrey loved it.


Isn't it neat?


Sidewalk chalk...always a winner with Audrey



Audrey and her friend Sophia "attacking" Miss Lauren. She didn't seem to mind.




Audrey and Sophia goofing around (as usual)




Audrey asked me to take this picture before she went in Mrs. Shelly's house. She said "I am sure my Nanny will want to see a picture of just me on the computer."
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

A Little of This and a Little of That

The Seney's have been busy!! Audrey had her end of the school year party today (will post pictures soon), we are gearing up for the big dance recital, which is apparently a BIG deal; bigger than I expected. It's so big that I have to take 3 days off next week. Audrey has swimming lessons, vacation Bible school and art camp to look forward to. Poor Abby, there just aren't a lot of options for 2 year-olds, but I really don't think she knows any better.

Caleb has been busy, too. With what you ask...............


Another summer starts this coming Sunday. It's always fun for me to sit back and see what interesting "jobs" Caleb will be doing. Just this week he built a small fence. He is especially fond of the gate. I may need to check it out so that I will know his skill level and what I can expect from him at our house!! Another fun aspect of camp is when we all four go out for dinner. Yes, it is always fun to see the kids, but the best part is the FOOD! Mrs. Mavis knows her way around a kitchen.
What else? Well, a few weeks ago Madeline came by to visit. She is precious as always!

Two little princesses


Ashley sent me this today! They are at the beach this week! I am so jealous. Look at Andrew holding his "mini me". How cute is that???!!

FUN WEEKEND, Part Two

Sorry for the delay, but for some reason I have neglected my blog. Sorry to all (2 or 3) of my faithful readers!!

The second day we were in Thibodaux, we went to the local fair. Wow!! Audrey has never been to a fair, so this was an experience for her. I admit, I did not have much faith in her. I assumed she would be deathly afraid and not want to ride anything!! I had some faith in Jack. He sort of goes back and forth between brave and not so brave. But, with Emma, I had no doubt! I knew she would want to ride everything!! This is the child who, when asked what her favorite part of Disney World was responded "THE TOWER OF TERROR!" That's right; not the princesses or castles, but THE TOWER OF TERROR (by the way, she is 5 years old). Ann and I rode a couple of things with them, but for the most part they were on their own and had a BLAST!

Maybe they are still a little dizzy from the "boat"??

Audrey might be a little scared (her eyes are closed)


This really surprised me



Tired, hot and ready to go home!

FUN WEEKEND, Part One

Because my life is not all that exciting, I have decided to do two posts from our weekend in Thibodaux....one from Saturday and one from Sunday. Also, my arms are a little wobbly after doing the 30 Day Shred (Jillian Michaels, trainer from Biggest Loser, or as I like to affectionately refer to her, THE DEVIL).

Audrey and I got up early Saturday morning and headed to The Miller's in Thibodaux. Daddy and Abby were both still sleeping when we left. The ride was pretty uneventful (well, except when I looked back at Audrey and she was playing with her gummy worms, which she first put in her mouth to get wet).

Saturday was a beautiful day and we stayed outside ALL day. Ann's yard is so pretty. She and Steve (okay, really Steve) have put a lot of hard work into it and it was was enjoyable to just relax outside all day.

The kids immediately put on their swim suits as Ann filled up the baby pool. They ran around jumping and splashing in the water and jumping on the trampoline.




They really are three of the cutest kids EVER!! Emma is nine months older than Audrey and Audrey is nine months older than Jack and they get along really well (most of the time)!



Ann left for a brief while to go pick up lunch. During that time, the kids turned on the water hose and made mud puddles (no, I didn't stop them). Emma and Audrey then rolled around in the mud like pigs (hope they don't catch swine flu)!!



I'm not sure anyone else can pull off this look
I think the hi-lite of the day was when all three of them discovered that they could fit into a trash can...good times!!


I will return soon with a follow-up post. I KNOW each of you are on the edge of your seats!!

Hmmm...What's On My Mind

RANDOM THINGS I HAVE BEEN THINKING:

1. Henry James Jennings is a PRECIOUS baby with a lot of dark hair.

2. We have 11 wheeled objects (not including our cars) under our carport.

3. All three of the Seney girls LOVE Popsicles.

4. My legs are VERY white, but I am trying to break the bad habit of sunbeds.

5. I am excited that Audrey and I are going to my sister's this weekend (Abby is staying with her daddy because Audrey and I haven't had much "big girl" time lately).

6. My dad and his wife are in Mexico...I wonder if they have started to "oink" or grow squiggly pink tails? (just kidding; I spoke with them and they are fine).

7. I would consider having another baby just so I could buy him/her some of those cute "baby legs".

8. Why don't the "powers that be" turn on the air conditioner at work? Why do they have the control in a locked box?

Okay, I think that is all that has been on my mind lately. Tomorrow is Wednesday...half-way through the week! Hang in there. We can make it!

What's One More??

Caleb and I had the opportunity to babysit our friends (Cody and Morgan) little girl, Marlee. She is 4 months younger than Abby and is a sweet little girl! She and Abby played and Audrey did an excellent job "babysitting" them both.

The weather was so nice, they played outside for awhile Friday evening. The picture below cracks me up...not sure what I was focusing on! Audrey and Abby are looking up at an airplane, but I think Marlee is only concerned with her juice!





For some reason, my girls LOVE to play in Abby's crib. Marlee joined in on the fun, too. Unfortunately, by the time I took the picture, Abby had had enough...I am sure that is obvious by her sad little face!


After getting into their pajamas, it was time for a little late night snack. Aren't they cute all on the chair together??

The night came to an end with a little relaxing and movie-watching!



Marlee is precious and we would love to have her back anytime! Audrey is already anxious to have her back so she can "babysit" again!!

FLOWER GIRLS

Before I even start my post, I must do this....HENRY JAMES JENNINGS was born today and he is PRECIOUS!!

Now I can start. Audrey and Abby had the opportunity to be flower girls in a wedding this past weekend. Steven and Teri were married on Saturday. Aren't they a beautiful couple??
I "borrowed" this picture off of Steven's Facebook profile. Hope he doesn't mind!
Steven and Caleb have worked together for years (not sure how many) at MedCamps. He and Teri often babysit our girls (at no charge...they are AWESOME people)!! So, we felt very honored when they asked our girls to be a part of their special day.
The girls did okay at the rehearsal, but were ready for the fried fish and trimmings after practicing. The picture below is AFTER practice, but BEFORE dinner. The expressions on their faces probably give that information away.
Audrey did GREAT at the wedding. She went down the aisle and even "tossed" (okay, threw) the flower petals down like a pro...Abby on the other hand wanted no part of it. Audrey tried desperately to pull her down the aisle, but she didn't budge from her momma.
The reception was at the Norton Building and was beautiful. Abby insisted on walking up and down the stairs REPEATEDLY! I am sad to report that my legs were a little sore the next day!
Because of all the rain on Friday and Saturday, there were many water puddles, which meant a lot of fun for the girls to jump and play in! At that point, I didn't even care. They had fun. I even had to tie the tulle layer of Abby's dress in a knot because she kept stepping on it while she attempted the stairs.

Here is Audrey showing me her wet tights and shoes


Abby's turn to splash...do you like the knot I fashioned?


Audrey and her Daddy

I LOVE this precious picture!!
Did I mention that the rehearsal dinner was at the Norton Building too? It was raining sooo hard Friday night, but it was really pretty, even in the rain. You just had to stay under the covered areas. I think Audrey summed up the wedding weekend best when she asked me,
"WHY DIDN'T THE BUILDERS JUST BUILD A ROOF ON THIS BUILDING?"
(referring to the Norton Building)
