For Mother's day weekend we all traveled to Natchez to be together and find out the sex of Shannon & Sarah's baby. They did something very cute that another family friend had done. After the sonogram that showed what the baby was the technician wrote it down and put it in an envelope. Sarah contacted a baker in Natchez and mailed the envelope to them so that they could bake a cake that either had a pink or blue interior. Sarah had us all guess and gave us a blue or pink boa based on what we thought. Obviously she and Shannon couldn't decide. The first picture if of the three of them and the cake.

Here Shannon is slicing into it and there faces look so excited...

It's blue! They are having a baby boy! We are all so excited! Parker wanted a girl so that there would be 5 boys and 5 girls. I love that Poppa Jack says he will have 10 little indians!

 We also celebrated our wondeful mother! Crissie and Lauren put together this adorable table while mom was at Mass. 

 This year dad surprised us all and gave mom and iPad2. She was so thrilled she couldn't even speak!

Of course when we are all together we try and get a picture of the grandchildren. I'm sure someone else got a better one than me but this wasn't too bad....if they were looking at me! Can you believe that we were able to find 9 matching outfits at the Kelly's Kids outlet!?

 I tried to get one of my cute three but I think that they were tired of smiling.

 More fun Natchez pictures. Old friends Braxton & Jack.

 We fortunately only had ran during the night so the kids were able to spend a lot of time outdoors. Of course there was a lot of swimming for all. This is when Langley really started swimming. She was the first to get in and the very last to get out even though she was turning blue. 

 Bennett wasn't able to swim because his cast didn't come off until the next week but he still had a good time. Unfortunately all the playing around the water made his cast weak and I ended up wrapping it in duck tape --- very redneck but it worked like a charm (picture to come later on cast off day).

Of course there was a little gambling at the house and some went to the boat.

 Just a cute picture of Charlie man!! He was always all smiles!
