Our Princess sleeps.....

This is how we found Abigail sleeping last night! With a TIARA on!!!!!!! That girl BELIEVES she IS A PRINCESS!!!




Fishing at Nana and Pops

We went to Nana and Pops for the rest of Easter weekend. The girls asked to go fishing in Pops pond. He had bought them fishing poles (princess of course!) a while back! So off Daddy and Pops took them to the pond.





I love their reflection in hte pond in this one!


Amelia was the first one to catch a fish. She was SO SO SO SUPER excited!





Click on the picture to blow up...her face is PRICELESS!



Abigail caught the next one and instead of reeling it in...she just kept backing up from the pond...We were dying laughing!

After she got it reeled in she was also SUPER excited!!



Telling him hello and naming him before relasing him back into the pond.



Amelia caught a second one! By then she was a pro!




I think she went to touch it and it started squirming around.
I loved watching them fishing! I used to go with my dad AKA Pops when I was a little girl on our boat. I know Brian is soooo ready to have a boat to go fishing and now I think he has two fishing partners to go with him!!!

Good Friday Crawfish Boil

On good Friday after the Instagator farm we headed over to Brian's aunts house for a crawfish boil. The girls LOVE eating crawfish with their daddy, so they were getting EVERYONE who would peal them for them to peal them!

Instagator

On good Friday we went to the Instagtor Ranch (click HERE to see the website). Brian had planned a suprise day for the girls. Abigail wasn't too sure about them at first but in the end was ok with them. This was funny to us because she LOVES all animals. I guess except alligators up close.




These are out of order..this was at the very end. I was ok until the guy told me now you need to hold onto him VERY tightly!!!







The guide was showing us the flap in the back of their mouth..don't want to stick my fingers in there!


Our crazy guide...he actually goes and steals the eggs out of the nests in the swamps to bring them back to the ranch to hatch them. It's kind of neat...they grow them to four feet and then release way more than would have survived in the wild. Of course...they don't release them all... apparently alligator meat is good??? They have to sell some of it to keep the ranch going.


We got to feed the alligators...apparently they love marshmallows...for easter weekend they got peeps!

Can you see the peep in his mouth? The girls thought this was hilarious!







The smaller ones.



The tiny ones.





This is where Abigail wouldn't even touch the tiny one!!


Amelia loved the little ones!



My sweet Abigail


Posing for me!



This place was REALLY neat. They gave out a TON of information about alligators that went WAY over our girls heads but was neat for us. These alligator hunters are NUTS to go out into the swamps and to deal with these alligators on a daily basis!
We want to go back in August. You get to help hatch the alligators out of the eggs. They need help getting out of the egss so you get to be the momma and help open the eggs in your hands! How cool is that???

Egg Hunt with the Mom's of Multiples

The weekend before Easter we went to the annual Easter Egg hunt with the Mother's of Multiples. This is the first year we have been able to go b/c I am usually doing shoots that weekend. This year I was determined that we were going to go! We went and the girls had a blast with all the other twins and triplets.


Brian taught the girls that they could sit at the top of the bars and then swing down. I about DIED when I saw him teaching them this...where did my babies go?????
They were PERFECTLY capable of doing it and thought they were SO big doing it over and over!










This is after the egg hunt.

OUr good friend the Ferrante triplets ... two of the three were at their grandparents house. Shelley just had Caroline and baby Carly that day! This is Caroline with the girls.



My sweet girls.



Finding eggs.






I wish I would have gotten pictures of the whole crew. The local Mom's of Multiples has been such a life saver! They are such an AMAZING group of women and I don't know that I could have made it the past four years without them. They have become so me of my dearest friends and keep me laughing constantly. They have also been a wealth of knowledge!
