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!!

j4  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!!!ch3 ch1 ch2
