June Pics!

These monthly photoshoots are getting tough! Miles has no interest in staying still for me to take pictures and ends up pitching a fit if I try to make him. Oh well...I'm starting to feel like the action shots are more fun anyway! I just keep snapping away with the thought that if I take 100 pictures I should get 1 or 2 decent pictures. The one above is the 1 of 100. Below you'll see many adorable pictures of the back of my son. This is the view I get most of the time also as I spend quite a bit of time chasing him....and he doesn't really even walk yet. I'm thinking Miles 2nd year we will do quarterly pictures instead of monthly...and make have them done professionally while I practice on something easier. Like a flower or something.

 

 Next up is Miles adventures in swimming! I am getting my posts a bit out of order since we went swimming for Memorial Day but whatev. I'm a busy lady now..which means learning to let some things go. Love!!

Cinco De Mayo

Oh how time flies. I just got around to Miles' June photoshoot and when I got online to post the pics I realized I still hadn't posted his Cinco De Mayo Party Pics! Back in the day Cinco de Mayo was one of my favorite days of the year. I'm not sure if I should admit this, but I would actually take off seis de Mayo just so I could over induldge on cinco without dragging myself to work the next day with margarita coming out my pores. This year was a bit different, but no less fabulous...and no hangover! BONUS! (Well, maybe a little hangover but nothing like years past.)

My parents made a huge Mexican feast that was super yummy!

Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos...to DIE for!

Obviously.

Such a festive patio!

 

Everyone had some fun with the sombreros and mustaches. It was a great night with great food and great company!

The End!

Miles First Braves Game!

Last weekend I posted about our Saturday activity - the crawfish boil. I was too exhausted to post about our impromptu Sunday activity - Miles first Braves Game! Shane's house is about an hour away so when we go out there for an evening we often stay the night. Upon waking on Sunday it was decided to check out a Braves game. It was a 1:30 game so we went to work right away on preparing to do it up right for Mr. Miles. After several stops Matt, Miles, and myself were all decked out in brand new Braves gear, the cooler was stocked in the back of the car, and Miles was slathered up in sunblock. Off we went!

After a short little tailgating session we were ready to head into the game!

We started off checking out our seats...which were VERY high!!! MUCH to high for mommy. Miles didn't like it much up there either. No room to play!

We decided to find somewhere that offered us a little more room, a little less height, and some food!

After lunch we took a stroll around Turner Field.

OK. I am reaching here. There just isn't a lot to say about this day. Matt and I had looked forward to Miles first Braves game since the day we found out we were having a boy. I hate to admit it, but baseball games are not a great place to take a little one. I should have seen it coming. There was nothing to do with him! We couldn't sit in the seats because he wanted to get down. I'm not a fan of sitting in the restaurants to eat because I can catch a game at the local Taco Mac and pay half the price for food and beer if I wanted to watch the game on TV. Walking around is fun...but only for so long. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted, but it didn't last long. I'm pretty sure we didn't make it half way through the game which is fine. We made some fun memories and before we left Miles was issued his "My First Visit to Braves Country" certificate. This was my favorite part of the day.



Crawfish Boils and Smooches!



Most people who know me are aware of how I feel about hot weather. I pretty much hate it. Nothing gets me irritated faster than being hot. I hate sweat, I hate sunburns, cars that literally burn and suffocate you, high electric bills, beers that get warm too fast, concrete that burns your feet, frizzy hair, I just really really dislike it all. I've always been irritated by girls who say,  "I don't sweat. I glisten." B@#&h, I sweat my ass off and you do too! Don't tell me you have never experienced swamp ass. Ugh! I do however like the way that warm weather tends to bring people together. Despite the recent hot weather, we managed to have quite an enjoyable weekend. There is no better way to kick off summer than one of Shane's authentic Louisiana Crawfish Boils! (Yes, I know we aren't officially in summer yet but in my book over 80 degrees = summer time. Which means that not only did I not get a winter, but my spring has also been cut terribly short.) Here is a very non-expert version of how this fabulous event goes:

Start off with a giant propane frier. Crawfish boils are supposed to feed a crowd!

 

Be careful!

Give the little guys a bath to clean up

This is Matt's favorite part. What a weirdo! Get rid of the dead guys.

Now if that isn't cute, I don't know what is.

Set the crawfish aside for a while and throw all the onions, corn, taters, sausage, lemons, etc into the seasoned water. Check the time to be sure they turn out just right!

While that cooks, relax and enjoy a nice cold beverage...like that coca-cola Shane has. :)

Get in some cutie baby time with Sadie Bug

And Miles too!

Yeah...so I missed a few steps. Too many cute babies and coca-colas. When the crawfish come out they are pretty (?) and bright red. Time to suck some heads and eat some tails! umm.....yeah.

Throw it (or carefully style it as Shane has done) on some newspaper and get ready to dig in.

Group Photo First!

OMG. So fun and yummy! Shane is the host with the most! After dinner...Miles got his first smooch! Miles and Sadie sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G!

Muah!

And then he remembered what mommy told him. NO GIRLS!

LOL....we love Ms. Sadie. We were all feelin the love after such a fabulous afternoon and evening at the Chambliss house. Even though the weather was hot and getting hotter we are can't wait for more fun summer afternoons with friends and loved ones.

Next up.....Miles first Braves Game!
