Egg decorating with Gram and cousins!

Spring Break trip to Lafayette

I took the kids to visit Pop Pop and Ms. Judy during
Aaron's spring break from school.  Pop Pop was having
some projects done around the house and Aaron thought
it was sooo much fun to help! He has even asked that
they have more projects to work on next time he visits.

Pop Pop also had some concrete work done while we
were there and used some of the mix to make garden
stones with the kids handprints.  We are eager to see
what they look like next time we go!
(thank you Judy for the pictures)

Egg Pocking

School Easter Festivities

Aaron had an Easter party at school on
Friday.  The weather was on the icky side
so the moms had to hide the eggs in the
classrooom.  After the egg hunt, the kids
enjoyed ice cream with all the toppings and
had a round of egg pocking.

Waiting in the hall before the hunt

let the egg hunt begin!



Each child had 5 eggs with their names on them-- they
had to find only their 5 eggs.  Aaron had darth vader shaped
eggs so his were pretty easy to spot!

Our fishy visitor

Aaron was asked to "fish sit" for his class during
spring break.  He was really excited to take the fish
home with us.  I asked Aaron what his name is on
the way home from school.  Aaron said "his name
is Mardi Gras but since mardi gras is over we can
name him Easter Bunny now"

Making biscuits with Avery

Avery loves to help me in the kitchen--
and she loves to lick the bowl when we make
biscuits!

Zfest

Zfest was held this weekend and we decided to check
it out to get out of the house.  You get to ride the school
bus to the festival since there is not much parking around
the festival grounds.  This is pretty much the highlight of
going to Zfest for the kids.  They had carnival rides but since
it was $4 for one ride!!! Yes $4 for one kiddie ride!! We
let the kids bounce in the jumpy house and then left
to get dinner.

Aaron lost his first tooth!

Today was a big day for our Big Boy! He lost his
first tooth at school! Ms. Hebert (his teacher) even
wrote me an email to tell me that he pulled it out
himself today.  He is so excited!

My little kitchen helper

Avery loves helping in the kitchen.  Today we made
a blueberry pudding cake which was really yummy.
She liked to lick the bowl but doesn't like blueberries.

Garden 2013

We planted our garden this weekend since the weather
was just plain wonderful! Both kids assisted this
year but Avery wasn't into getting her hands dirty.

We are hoping our garden will do better this year than
last year since we didnt get it started until late in the
season. 

Preparing the dirt

Adding the plants



These are from our garden pictures
last year... Avery wasn't even walking yet

Avery did not feel well this week-- which
is the reason we missed being in the
Ms. Zachary Pageant. Mommy was very
sad we missed her first and only one.





Aaron wanted to watch a movie in our bed and Avery
wanted to lay with him.  She wasn't feeling good and 10 mins
later daddy found her snoozing away!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

First Egg Hunt of the Easter Season

Sunday we celebrated Easter and my 32nd birthday with
Pop Pop, Ms. Judy, Jake, and Mariah.  The kids enjoyed
their first egg hunt of the season and the night before
dyed eggs (waiting on the pics from Pop Pops camera)

8yrs together

This week marked our 8 year anniversary.
We spent the night at the Caldwell House in
Abbeville and ate boiled crawfish at my
favorite place Richard's.  The kids enjoyed
some time with Pop Pop and Ms. Judy while
we had our date night.

Aaron's First Sleepover

Aaron was invited for his first sleepover
at his best bud Jackson's house.  I told him
right when he got off the bus and he ran
to get his suitcase! His mom sent me a few
pictures of the fun they are having!

Let's get started!

Here is some of the "let's get started" song

they play each morning at school-- but of course

they weren't dancing when I pressed record--grr!

 

Zoo Field Trip

Aaron's Pre-K class went to the zoo this week. I was
able to come along (thank you to Gram for keeping
Avery).  We all had a great time-- all the kids fell
asleep on the bus ride back to school-- and this momma
needed a nap when it was over!

The class does a dance each morning after breakfast to
start their day-- I thought it was really cute.
 

On our way!
