Aaron's Spring school music performance

A little game video

Go Red Sox!!

Baseball season is officially in full swing over
here.  Aaron is starting his first year of coach
pitch and I have to admit... it is way more fun
to watch then tball... however not as comical
for sure.  My boy did great his first 2 games--
ran home once and hit the ball 4 times!

Aaron is very excited to go see his cousins
play too!

Happy Birthday Momma and Lafayette weekend

For my birthday and a late anniversary celebration we
traveled to Lafayette so that I could get my yearly fix
of crawfish for Richard's in Abbeville. The kids
attended Disney on Ice with Pop Pop and JuJu while
we went to dinner.

I requested a quick stop to Keller's bakery
for some birthday goodies and in memory
of Bub Bub b/c this was her favorite
bakery to stop at in Lafayette.

Field Trip with my boy

I was able to go on Aaron's field trip this
week.  They went on a fishing field trip to
a local wildlife reserve that had a pond.

They learned about some wildlife and fish
and then everyone had a chance to catch
some fish...using hot dogs as bait! No one
in our group caught a fish but they had fun
trying.  We finished up with a bbq hot dog
lunch and then they headed back to school.

A thank you to Gram for keeping Avery.

Recent cell pictures

First snow cones of the season! Our neighbor
Ashlynn joined us as well.

Shopping with our friends

Avery picked her first prize from the "poo poo
prize bucket"- She picked a slinky!

A big girl bed for our big girl

The crib has officially left our house and
we now have a big girl.  Potty training
is going well for the most part too so it was
time to move her our of the crib.  I'm not
sure why the photo posted like this.

Another tooth bites the dust

Aaron lost yet another tooth last week. The tooth
fairy can't keep up and might need to take out a loan!
Side note: His permanent teeth are huge and there is
hardly any room for the new teeth to come in... looks
like he got his momma's mouth.

He has lost a total of 5 teeth and more are already lose!

Last Upward game

Aaron thoroughly enjoyed his first
year of Upward basketball at church and
except for the 8am games.. we did too!

He scored a goal in the last game but
I didn't catch it on video.

Trip to visit Cousin Jackson

While we were in Lafayette for the Mardi
Gras holiday Aaron and I took a day trip
to Alexandria to visit Uncle Jake, Aunt Mariah,
and most importantly Cousin Jackson.  We
wanted to spend the night at their house but
some icy weather coming pushed our trip
short to just a few hours. We enjoyed our
short time holding baby Jackson and visiting
with his parents.  He is just to cute!

Getting her hair done

One of Avery's favorite things about visiting
Lafayette is letting JuJu curl her hair with these
curlers.  Though she doesn't leave them in long
enough to really curl it all up... it sure looks cute
for the 15 mins she has them in her hair.

Mardi Gras in Port Allen

On Sunday we attended the Mardi Gras parade in Port
Allen with some good friends of ours.  Uncle Glen invited
us for lunch at his parents house then we all headed out
to watch the parade.  It was really hot this day... followed
by ice a day later...go figure!

Uncle Glen helps Aaron get some goodies

Krewe of Roque (Rock) Stars

Aaron participated in the annual Kindergarten
Mardi Gras Parade.  His teacher's theme was
the Krewe of Roque  (his teacher's last name)
Stars.  Each student can choose to decorate
a wagon or walk... Aaron wanted a wagon of
course so we borrowed one from a friend and
got it ready for the parade.

Gram, Aunt Hollie and Brooklyn rode
with us to attend the parade.  The parade was
really cute and really long as there are a few
hundred kindergartners at his school!

Here he is all decked out in his Rock Star
outfit.

First baseball game of the season

Andrew and Aaron were given 2 free tickets to the
LSU baseball game last Sunday so they decided it was
a perfect chance for father/son time.  Aaron watched
the entire game and was sad when it was over.  They
also feasted on ball park nachos too of course! side note:
Aaron has the cutest toothless smile!!

Valentine's Day

The kids enjoyed some Valentine's Day cards from
grandparents which included Chickfila gift cards and $5!

Coloring with Great Granny

Another tooth bites the dust

Aaron lost another tooth! The tooth fairy is going
to go broke this month! This one fell out after he ran
into a pole at school... he said it didnt hurt though.

Judy pulls Aaron's tooth

Judy offered to pull Aaron's tooth this weekend (she has
many years of tooth pulling experience). At first Aaron
told her no but then she offered that Pop Pop would give
him $10 if he let her pull his tooth.  He must have been waiting
for the money offer because he quickly jumped on it.

Out came the tooth-- as Pop Pop and mommy were
cringing in the other room (we dont do teeth)!

I asked Aaron if he would like me to take him to walmart
to pick something out... but he said he had to wait until the
after the tooth fairy came to see what he got so he could
put his money together and buy something better!

Upward

Aaron is participating in Upward basketball at church-
at first I really tried to talk him out of it but I am really
glad we signed him up.  He has really had a great time
playing and our church has done a great job with it.

I need to bring our other camera to a game to get better
pictures.

He did score one goal so far this season.

Snow (ice) Days

We recently had a few days of what we
thought was going to be snow but all we
got was ice instead.  This was the only
photos I got of the kids because it was
just to cold for us! Avery wouldn't even
put her feet in it.  So we hurried back inside
and warmed up in front of our fireplace.  Have
I mentioned how happy I am that the new house
has one!!!
