Saints Game

Papa Mike is a HUGE dolphins fan, and I have a fabulous client that casually mentioned to me he had Saints season tickets and to let him know if we ever wanted any… So I asked him for the Dolphins vs Saints game in New Orleans!!

Me and Mom met a group from the church and headed down to New Orleans that night!  We stopped to eat on the way down there and had a blast.  Mike was the only one around wearing a Dolphins jersey, but he was a good sport when they lost…. ha ha.  I really enjoy the time I get to spend with my Mom, Mike and Gran Gran… It’s extremely rare!

 

I love these two pictures of Gran Gran and Mike!!

Saturday Morning Beignets

 

We have discovered a gem in our little city of Ellisville!!  The first Saturday of every month The French Quarter Grill makes beignets.  They are very very very good!! And we love to go!! Addy calls them Donuts, and loves to blow powdered sugar everywhere and create a really huge mess!! But the staff are always fabulous and don’t fuss too much at us. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Little Cowgirl

Little Miss Priss…. has become obsessed with horses.  Over the past summer she would want to see the horses, but not get any closer.  Then a couple days before halloween she told Josh “I wanna ride.”  We told her no… but Uncle Joe saddled Margaret up anyway.  She rode and rode and rode… Until we had to make her get off! She loved it, and asks to ride almost everyday.

 

 

The next week we rode over there and she fed the horses, watered them, and finally learned how to “rope” a cow.  Its the best watching her expressions and seeing how excited she gets!! 

 

 

 

 

  This last picture… We were at Academy Sports shopping one night… She picks up the hat and says… “Mommy Mommy… I wanna ride horse at Uncle Joe and Aunt Jess… Yee Haw Yee Haw”… In the middle of the whole store. And i hear people cracking up all around us.  I may be a little partial, but i think she is the cutest kid ever and has the best personality!  She is hilarious!  And doesn’t forget anything!!!

Chaser VS The Car

Back in May… I was at home with Chaser and Addy one Sunday afternoon.  Addy and I were walking around to the swing set and i heard tires squeal and our sweet little puppy howling.  I ran to the front and he had been hit.  I called our fabulous vet Dr. Cox and he met me at the office immediately.  Luckily, it had only got his front two feet.  On his right foot it only took off a toenail.  The right foot wasn’t so lucky… 3 bones were broken.  It was decided we would do surgery and place a pin.  After a very long summer of doctors appointments EVERY week, we finally got the cast off and have a brand new puppy!!!

50 and Fabulous

Nana turned 50 this year!! And she has never looked better.  We had a Painting with a Twist party for her.  That she knew about and then we decided she needed a surprise party too!  They both turned out fantastic I thought!!

 

Thanks so much to all the help and hard work that was put into both these events!! We had a blast and it showed how much mom is loved and appreciated!!

Guess Who Came Home!!

Chris and Kim moved back home!!! We have never been more excited!  We missed you guys tremendously and are so glad to have you home!! And even more excited to you guys are right next door!! Although you may be ready to kick us out if Addy doesn’t quit barging over.. ha ha

 

This picture is a little difficult to see.. But that’s Addy on the their front porch knocking and screaming… “Kim it’s me, Let me in, It’s Addy, Open the door” All the while poor Max is going crazy. 

 

Love you guys and so glad to have you home!!

July 4th 2013

This 4th of July was  little crazy… And since this post is so late I don’t exactly remember what we did all day… But that night was crazy!  My family when I was little always went to Paul B Johnson State Park for the July 4th week.  It was a fantastic tradition that I wish we still got together and did.  I have many memories from being a kid there.  They do a great fireworks show every year and so we wanted to take Addy this year.  So we loaded up and head down there.  Fireworks are suppose to start around 8ish…. Well at about 10 or 10:30 they finally get the show on the road, due to a treacherous rain storm that decided to come through.

Laken, Natalie, Chris and Kim (and baby A) all came with us!!  We really did have a great time despite the monsoon.

 

Destin Summer Vaca

The end of June we got to take a whole week and enjoy the beach with Uncle Joe and Aunt Jess… We had NO plans and just enjoyed laying out everyday with very minimal stress!!  We went to eat a couple times at McGuire’s, walked the Destin Harbor walk and watched a great (but very late) fireworks show…

We went to eat at Joe’s Crab Shack one of the very first nights and Addy had a blast.  She played on the slides outside (couldn’t get her off when it was time to go in) And once we got in, they sing and dance, so Addy joined in with them.  Only she had to have center stage and dance by herself.  

 

Addy thoroughly enjoyed the beach and loved playing in the sand.  I think we were covered from head to toe each night!

Finally…. We all had pictures done and they turned out great!!!  Sarah Pardew did them for us and she did amazing!! These are the best family pics we have ever had!
