After a fun weekend with the Hays family in Jackson, we headed down to the coast to stay with Mandy and Nate a few days and then to Biloxi to a convention. It worked out last year that we got to stop on our way to Biloxi and see Fischer when he was born and this year we got to spend his birthday with him again. Hopefully it will always work out that way! We spent his birthday at the water park and honestly I am not sure who had more fun..Fischer, Bishop, or ME. The water slides were so much fun! Once Bishop got the nerve to go down with me, he was hooked. He would say "one more time" every time. It worked out that my mom got to come too, so that was nice. Last year, Bishop and I literally did nothing during the convention but it is quite hard in a casino hotel room with a 2 year old. Especially without Disney channel. Just saying. I have to say you learn to be, um, innovative in hotels....warm milk in coffee pot, make oatmeal with coffee pot, etc. That may have been the worst part! But, we survived. And, we really had a great time. I still got to relax in the hotel while he napped. It was nice having no other choice but to lay in that nice cool, dark hotel room...otherwise during nap time I am cleaning, on the computer, laundry, sewing, etc.
Getting a 1 year old and a 2 year old in a picture together is near impossible.
Actually, I took the BEST picture of them. Oh, it was so cute. Mandy and I were just so excited that they both laid on a pillow and smiled real smiles and looked at the camera and everything. And then I realized I had my camera on manual and the shutter speed was so fast that the picture was black. Completely black. I almost cried. And then I made do with the jumping monkeys on the bed. They are so entertaining.
We had some really good food while we were there. Ocean Springs has some really good restaurants. My favorites were Bayview Gormet for breakfast and Leo's for dinner. We also ate at a pretty good Greek place..Bishop loved the hummus and pitas.
Yes, it was as good as it looked.
Trying to teach Fischer how to put a puzzle together. However, Fischer was only interested in eating the puzzle. And, yes, Fischer does have 2 arms...he is just way too busy to sit still for a picture and one of them is completely blurred :)
Next up was Biloxi. We went to Gulf Islands water park for Fischer's birthday and the rest of the time we did what we do best...EAT! We did hang out at the pool too...while daddy "worked".
Happy Birthday sweet boy!!
The cheese face cracks me up! He was having a blast!
Cell phone pic of me and B going down his favorite slide. He loved it! Obviously I did as well.
Our only family photo..at least it is a decent one.

Loves, loves to swim.
Making do with Little Einsteins on mommy's phone.
Um, not sure about this face B man
We walked down to take pictures while we waited at the Blow Fly Inn and got distracted by this little guy. Obviously he gets fed a lot. Obviously we didn't take any pictures...but we did eat a lot!
And, that, concludes our trip to the coast. So nice to be away with my family with no responsibility other than figuring out where to eat!
