Elizabeth

I just wanted to post some newer pictures of my beautiful little niece. I got to babysit her one day last week so I took a few pictures. I see her all the time, but I don't always have the camera available. She's getting so big and she seems to be learing to do things already. She has been rolling over for a couple weeks now and she tries to sit up in her carseat. She's so darn cute!

Crawdads!

After CAST for kids was over, some of my friends that had volunteered with us, Amanda and her boyfriend Randy, went fishing. They caught a ton of crawdads and they know I love to eat them so they brought them back for us. Alex was really interested in what was in the bucket so I took a crawdad out and took the claws off (I'm evil and I torture little Crawdads LOL) and let him play with it. HE LOVED IT! My dad was excited because Alex was actually acting like a boy and playing with the crawdad (cray fish.)

CAST for kids

My mom is part of a committee each year that plans an event called CAST for kids. CAST stands for Catch A Special Thrill. It's where we take special needs children fishing. They all get to go out on a boat and go fishing for a couple of hours and then everyone has lunch. It's a lot of fun and believe it or not, A LOT of planning goes into it each year. My mom and the other women that put this together deserve HUGE awards for the work they do. I didn't get a lot of pictures so I'm not posting them this year but Alex and I had fun and Alex was pooped by the end of the day.
