Little Rock

This past weekend Chris, Catch, and I went to Little Rock to visit our friends, Jeremy, Meagan-Marie, and their little girl, Ryne. I am still tired, but it was worth it. The guys, Chris, Jeremy, and Griff, always have a "Brothers' Weekend" at least once or twice a year. They compete in golf, bowling, tennis, and football. Yes, they really do this and they even have traveling trophies! Chris won 3 - 2 for golf and 1 for bowling. They began a new event this year: Punt-Pass-Kick (I think that's what it's called). Chris missed his kick, so he was out pretty quick. He also lost in tennis and definitely did not lose gracefully. He threw his racket and bent it after his first loss. Needless to say, he didn't win his second game either.

We also got the opportunity to take our first family pictures. Meagan-Marie has a studio in Maumelle and she was kind enough to take some pics of us. We went to this beautiful part and it was fun (minus the mosquitos). Catch did so well and we got some great pics of him smiling. I can't wait to order some!

We got to hang out with Ryne a lot, and let me tell you, she is a hoot! She makes me excited to see Catch in that stage. She really said some of the funniestthings and had us all cracking up. At one point she told Meagan-Marie that she was going to poo poo in the grass and proceeded to do so. Whenever someone would do something she liked, she continue to tell them, "again". It was precious! Ryne would get excited to see Catch every morning. I could hear her from the living room asking her mommy and daddy where "Baby Catch" was. Too cute!

It was also a big weekend for Catch. As you know, he's been rolling onto his stomach, but can't seem to do too much after that. Well, I was recording a message on my phone for the grandmas and he just pushed himself up on his elbows! I was amazed! He is getting so strong. Every day is more fun than the previous. I am always anxious to see what new thing he is going to do next.

Check out the pics below. There are some great ones!


Ryne telling Catch, "Good Morning"

Definitely available for playdates.

The boys figuring out the rules for Punt-Pass-Kick. They take this pretty serious.

Chris's punt - it was really good.

Nice throw!

He went a little crooked on his kick...

Sissy won - nice headband!

Sissy mocking the mangled trophy that Chris broke (actually it fell from on top of the fridge when Chris closed the door). ;0)

Catch was passed out while they were kicking and throwing.

Griff with Catch.

Catch taking his nap. It was a whole 2 and 1/2 hours!

He was turning all sorts of ways!

Catch was chewing on the end of the table! Don't worry, we put a burpie under him.

He was exhausted after taking the family pics.

The following pics are from the drive home. He was in such a good mood - smiling, giggling, and fascinated with blowing spit bubbles.

Yummy!

He managed to fit both the burpie and thumb in his mouth.

He loves his fingers!

Sound asleep, but he didn't want to let go of my finger. :0)

Isn't he just the funniest?!
