Mommy and Me Monday!!

Mommy and Me Monday at Really, Are You Serious?
Hosted by Krystyn


Krystyn had a great idea to start the "Mommy and Me Monday" posts!!
As the mommy, we are often the ones behind the camera...she suggested that we need to be the one in front of the camera now!
Every Monday we will "showcase" a new picture of mom and the kid(s)
Great idea Krystyn!!!

Last weekend we went to Lousiana for Mardi Gras!
(a whole post on that coming soon!)

Landon and I waiting for the parade to start!

Landon and I are the king and queen of self portraits!  lol

Please visit Krystyn and play along in Mommy and Me Mondays!!!

Mardi Gras!!!!

Better late than never, but Happy belated Mardi Gras!! We had a 4 day weekend in Louisiana and couldn't have asked for a better time!!
Friday morning we went to Landon's cousins school for our first parade! These wagons were pretty creative!!
His cousins Madison and Aubrey in the parade!Thought these were too cute!
He had no idea what to expect and needless to say, he was having a blast!!
That night we headed to Houma for the parade!
It was FREEZING!!
Pedro and Uncle Chris
"Throw me something mista!!!"
2 of the 7 bags we FILLED just that one night!!!
Aunt Stacey and the gang made us shirts to match theirs in the parade!!
Don't be jealous of our tie dye ;)
Aunt Stacey and Landon
The bag full of goodies she made for him!!
Mammy trying to catch all the stuff they were throwing at Landon!! (that she almost had to fight for!)
Nothing says southern Louisiana like this ;)

Looks like very overcast, but it was so sunny!

Sunday we headed back to Houma for the 4th (and finale) parade
He caught this WHOLE bag..he was very proud!! Some of the floats...(just for you Lissa!) It even made real tiger sounds!!
Ash and me...45 degrees and we came home sunburned!
I don't have a single pic of him not squinting from this whole trip...bad mom..I made sure I had my shades! lol
All lined up waiting for the floats
