Cohen's Baptism

Saturday we made a trip to New Orleans to help celebrate Cohen's baptism. After mass the family joined Father in welcoming Cohen to the church. It was a beautiful ceremony and we were so glad to be a part of it. After the baptism we went back to Shane and Courtney's to continue the celebration with some delicious gumbo and cake. Thank you Shane and Courtney for having us!

50 Years in the Making

Kyle's great aunt and uncle celebrated 50 years of marriage yesterday and we were blessed to be able to celebrate with them. They are an amazing and inspiring couple and I hope to be able to have such a celebration in the future! Congratulations Uncle Silton and Aunt Bobbie!

Made With Love

Last Saturday I joined Mom, MaMa, Aunt Alice, Aunt Debbie, Missy and Brooke for a sewing party at MaMa's. I never dreamed I would have so much fun! Not only did Kylee get a dress out of the deal but I got to spend some quality time with loving family. Last week I wanted so bad to put her dress on for church but had no ribbons to hold it together. This week I was sure that would be her church outfit and boy did she look cute! Thank you Mom for helping me sew such a cute dress!!

Country Winter Adventure

Thursday morning Angie and I braved the cold, icy weather and headed to Austin TX for the Rascal Flatts concert. Luckily, we hit clear roads there and back. Thursday night after the concert was a different story, however. We withstood the 27 degree, 9 degree windchill weather and icy roads to make it back to Holly's house safe and sound. The concert was a blast and I am so glad I got to experience it with two wonderful gals! Thank you both very much for the experience!! Friday morning we awoke to a snow covered yard and had fun with the boys making snow angels and a snowman. Okay, so Jason was really the one working on the snowman, but we all enjoyed it :) Jason fed us like queens, as usual, and after the snow and ice started to melt Angie and I loaded our bags and started on the journey home. I enjoyed a delicious steak dinner at Kirk and Angies(compliments of Kirk) and completed my journey home from Moss Bluff. Thanks again to Angie, Kirk, Holly and Jason for the hospitality, food and good times!!

Who Dat Day

Friday Kylee's daycare held Saints day and we were more than happy to show off our spirit! Kylee makes the most precisous Saints fan if you ask me!

Triple Trouble

Today I got the pleasure of having Carly and Chloe over first thing and the morning to entertain Kylee for the day. Today was designated to taking down Christmas decorations and getting this house clean. With gumbo boiling on the stove I decided it was time to make some cookies. Kylee, Carly and Chloe all did their part in making some of the most delicious cookies I've ever tasted! It was so fun having them and getting to do these things with them...I can't wait until Kylee is really old enough that I can enjoy things like this with her on her own. Carly even helped chop the sausage for the gumbo and Carly and Chloe both assisted witht he taking down of Christmas decorations. I love having these girls over, they are both such great helpers!

A sprinkle job well done!

Christmas 2010

This Christmas was such a blast being able to see Kylee rip open wrapping paper and become so excited over all of her new presents. It is truly a blessing to be able to share the holidays with such loving friends and family. Thank you everyone for all of the wonderful gifts you've given us and the delicious food you provided during our festivities. We look forward to seeing all of you soon!

OMP Annual Christmas Play

Thursday night we loaded up and headed to Church Point to watch the Our Mother of Peace annual school Christmas Play. Carly and Chloe participate every year and this year Chloe was a snowman singing "Let It Snow" and Carly was dressed in her cute Christmas outfit singing "Jingle Bells." They both did a great job and we were glad to keep tradition and make it again this year. Thank you Valarie for the delicious seafood gumbo afterwards!

Santa Encounter

Since we finally have a weekend to spend at home we decided to take a break from cleaning house and take Kylee to meet Santa live and in person. One of our local stores were having him come visit and allowing parents to take pictures. Call it Mother's intuition, but somehow I knew she wouldn't handle it well! The good news is that we got a coule of good pictures to laugh at with her when she grows older :)

There was no HoHoHo coming out of her with this Santa

I guess the preperation with the little toy Santa at home just didn't cut it!
