USS Kidd Cub Scout Campout

Aaron had his very first campout on the USS Kidd with
Daddy last weekend. This is special because that was the
first place I worked after college almost 10 years ago. 

This ship will always hold a special place in my heart.
 

Dance Pictures

These are not the best pictures because
I took a picture of the proofs with my phone sorry...
I will try to scan them later. 

Here are our dancing divas! Are they not the
cutest thing! The recital is only a few short weeks
away!

Spring Break in Lafayette

This year during spring break the kids and I
went to Lafayette for a few days.  Daddy was
in the midst of tax season and studying so there
was no point hanging around the house waiting
for him to get home.  So while we were there
Uncle Jake and Jackson came to visit.  It is always
so great to see our cousin Jackson.. he is just too cute!

Pop Pop and JuJu had planned to take us
crabbing at Avery Island which the kids liked.
Avery lasted about 20 minutes before she said
"I'm done"... so I took her to the van to get
a honey bun until the crabbing was finished.

After that we explored the Tabasco plant
and Jungle Gardens.  The kids were really
interested in the Tabasco plant which shocked
me.  They can now tell you how it is made...
however neither of them like the taste.

Stubby the squirrel made her daily apprearance
while we were there even with all the noise
the kids were making she still wanted her pecans!

Countdown to Disney Trip #7!

The countdown has begun for this years trip to our
favorite place! This will be Avery's 3rd trip and Aaron's 5th!

The shirts have been made and Aaron finished our countdown
chain! Just a few more weeks!

Global Wildlife Field Trip

Aaron was so excited that Daddy was able to join
him on this post tax season field trip! We gave him the
option of who he wanted to take...and in true Aaron fashion
he did not want to give an answer for fear of upsetting one
of us but in the end he choose Daddy ... which of course
I was fine with. 

The boys had a great time feeding the animals!

Happy Easter 2015

We had a wonderful Easter Sunday this year in which
we celebrated Daddy being baptized! We are all so proud
of him.  Pop Pop and JuJu also came to eat lunch with us
after church. 

The kids looked cute in their orange colors.

Egg Hunts Galore!

This week we had not one but THREE egg hunts to attend!
Egg Hunt #1 - Avery's school... each child found 6 eggs
with their names on them

Egg Hunt #2- Aaron's school... Aaron's teacher
numbered all the eggs 1-15 and each child had to find
them in numerical order! This proved to take a LONG
time!

Egg Hunt #3- Aunt Hollie's annual egg hunt

Strawberry Patch Field Trip

I was able to attend Aaron's strawberry patch field trip
last week.  The weather was perfectly warm and there
were a ton of other schools at Ms. Heather's Strawberry
farm.  The kids were super excited to pick their own
strawberries from the patch.  Our picking started out a little
rocky though since most of the rows were were looking
at had been picked clean already.  Aaron had his first
low blood sugar/heat related attack so I had to pull him
in the shade and after a bottle of water and a granola
bar he was good to go again... thankfully because Mom
was really afraid he was either going to pass out or
throw up.

The patch featured lots of other activities for the school
kids to do there... like face painting, slides, and a huge
bouncy bubble that was some how attached to the ground.

We were all TIRED after this field trip!
