a Million pictures

The other night I was trying to capture these cuties eating their magic pop. 


As I snapped pictures, Reese kept asking if she could take some too.


I was trying to get one where they were both putting the pop in their mouth at the same time.


Then Lane crawled on the table so I had to get that on camera!


Reese said, "Mommy, you have taken a million pictures! I want a turn." (funniest thing I had heard her say that week - she still surprises me daily with her vocabulary)

I took one more and then

handed over the camera and here is what she did...


(Don't judge my pj's - they are so comfy - I promise I have pondered getting new cute ones)










Such a good one of Lane - she tried really hard to get it. Reese moves the camera as soon as she clicks the button, so she misses sometimes as you can see above...


She kept telling me to say "Cheese!"


She gave me a turn to get her silly face.


Then she had to get my silly face too.


She giggled with joy when she got this one of McQueen.


And this one of Innotab. She gets so excited and is very proud of her work!


She loved this one of Lane saying, "He looks small!" (meaning far away I think)


Oh girlie girl you make me smile! Most of all, I am happy when seeing the joy on your face when you do something you love. It's the best thing ever!


Welcome to the oilfield...

Those were the words I heard about 10 times after my first rig visit fell through due to the fog. We spent half a day in the parking lot of the airport near Patterson waiting for the fog to clear enough to fly out on the helicopter but it never did. So after a good visit with the OIM and RMS we drove 5 hours back home and waited for the next visit.

On Monday, February 20th we flew to New Orleans then drove to Pascagoula, MS to visit two of our rigs in the shipyard. Our visit with the employees was a success!


The guys repaired these legs where you see the black paint.


Looking down from above.



Digging the huge aviator safety glasses!


A really big Transocean rig.






The other leg they are repairing.






And our drive back to the airport to fly home after a long day.



Diva time!

Enjoyed a fun (and long overdue) evening with my Hitachi girls on Friday!



Reese stole the camera and got some pretty good shots!








 She cracks herself (and us) up!








Can't wait to do it again soon!
