Happy Birthday Momma

Aaron was still recovering from the flu on
my birthday but we did celebrate the next
day by going to see Beauty and the Beast
and then dinner at Curbside burgers. Avery
made me some gifts and Andrew bought me a
3 month subscription to XM radio.

Doctor Office Selfies

Aaron was sick this week with what we
thought was our second round of the flu
but thankfully it was just a virus. He and
I were taking some selfies to pass the time
because it took FOREVER according
to Aaron.

Update 3/30..it was the flu and we are on day
5 of fever! Ugh!

Ps. He doesn't look sick 

Relay for Life

This year we walked again in honor of our Gram! We
wanted to stay a little longer but Aaron started to get a
headache and later that night a fever. We are so proud
of our Survivor!

Just missing Spencer and Aunt Brittney because Spencer
was also sick :(

Bluebonnet Swamp Field Trip

Avery also had a field trip this week to the
Bluebonnet Swamp. We had not been to this
either so it was great to experience to new
places in town this week. Momma even road
the bus which I HATE! Avery was able to pet
a snake, alligator, and turtle. We toured the
swamp area and saw a snake swim by us. Then
we ate lunch at a local park. We were both
tired but had a fun day!

State Capital Field Trip

Aaron had a field trip this week to visit the
State Capital and the Louisiana State Museum.
This was my first time visiting both of these as
well. It was such a great field trip! Our State
Capital sure is a beautiful building and it was
great to learn more about our state history.

Ropes Course

We spent a beautiful Saturday afternoon
at the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans. We let
the kids do the ropes course there. Daddy
and Aaron braved the big one while Avery
did the small one. They both loved it. I'm
so glad daddy went with Aaron because
I am afraid of heights!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

The kids decked out in green for St. Patrick's
day. Aaron had his mustang derby that day
as well and ran 22 laps to raise money for
his school.

10 Years!

This month marks 10 years of maintaining
this blog! It started to keep family updated on
what was happening with us and our growing family
but now it is mostly for just me. I update to have record
of what the kids are doing and a place to put pictures.
It makes me happy to know that when the kids are old enough
they can come to this site and find their pictures and stories!

Planting of the Corn

Paw Paw and Gram invited the kids over
to plant corn and potatoes in Paw Paw's
garden. If all the corn that the kids planted
makes then Paw Paw could have about
2500 ears of corn this year!

Taste of Louisiana

The kindergarten had their annual taste
fair last week. The kids were served samples
of jambalaya, red beans and rice, gumbo,
poboy, crawfish, king cake, fried fish, and
beignets. Avery did eat the king cake, beignet,
and fried fish. We are hoping she branches out
more as she gets older like her brother did.

Happy Mardi Gras!

We attended the Port Allen parade again this year and
Aunt Hollie asked if they could come with us and of course
we loved having them with us this year. The kids caught
lots of throws thanks to Uncle Glen who knows
everyone in Port Allen!

Krewe of Crawfish

One of my favorite things about our schools
is the Kindergarten Mardi Gras parade!
Avery's class was the Krewe of Crawfish
and my little crawfish was so cute with her
pink claw. Brooklyn was also in the parade
with the Krewe of Chefs.
