Grandma's 60th Birthday!!

Grandma turned 60 this year! All of the grandkids and kids went to her house to celebrate not to mention Aunt Sharon and Uncle Jerry came to be part of the momentous occasion. It was a very busy weekend. We all went to a special dinner celebrating Uncle Kenneth's Birthday. Then we went to Leslie's husband's new PT clinic to celebrate his grand opening (all of the children ran around crazy inside while we admired the actual office). Then everyone went back to Grandma's house. To her surprise Uncle Skipper was there to join in the celebration when she arrived home! They basically locked Grandma in her room while everyone quickly set up the celebration. Balloons were blown up, margaritas and strawberry daiquiris were made, and all of Sharon's decorations she had made her hung up. The place quickly looked like a party.

The kids were pretending to have broken body parts and being ninjas at the same time. Who knew crepe paper was so entertaining?!

Everyone singing "Happy Birthday" to celebrate Grandma.

We all hope that Grandma enjoyed her birthday celebration. It was a wonderful time having all of the kids together at one time. We love you Grandma! Happy 60th. Here's to many many more of these fun celebrations!

Thanksgiving 2013

Thanksgiving Day we all with to Grandma and Papa’s house to enjoy a traditional Cajun dinner and it was delicious. Gigi, Blakeleigh, Brandy, Nanny, Uncle Patrick, Grandma, Papa, Aunt Lisa, Aunt Christine, and Keith were all there to celebrate with us. Gabby enjoyed the day immensely playing with Blakeleigh the entire day and even trying to snuggle with her during her nap time. Gabby made everyone sing "Happy Birthday" to Mommy and she blew out the candles Then Brandy and Blakeleigh spent two nights with us. We had lots of fun going to Mud Pie to make handprint Christmas cookie plates and hanging out at Grandma’s house. Gabby enjoyed very much singing Happy Birthday to Mommy with the family and blowing out my candle.

Sacrafices for My Angel

Everyone knows that being a parent is full of sacrifices and some are more difficult than others. So far being a Mom I have "sacrificed" my skin thanks to stretch marks, my youthfulness, thanks to the worries that cause the new wrinkles I notice weekly, my pretty legs thanks to the varicose veins I received during pregnancy that never went away, the comfort of sitting thanks to the back pain I have had ever since pregnancy, a good night’s sleep, and the list goes on... However, none of these things truly feel like a sacrifice (although I do miss sleep and my non-damaged body) they are just part of being a mommy and I wouldn't trade parenthood for anything! Today, however, a very difficult sacrifice was made, although I know it was the only choice. Ranger, the dog Michael and I had for 7 ½ years, was given to a new home today. He bit Gabby on her head when she was about 9 months old and then about a week ago he nipped at her and unfortunately that was the last straw. M...

Pink or Blue Skittle

Okay so as requested by many, I am posting a picture of my belly. A few people told me that they needed to see my belly before guessing the sex of the baby. When Michael took this picture last night we were both convinced my belly grew from the time I woke up. Please comment whether you think it's a boy or a girl or email me and let me know what you think because I would love to make a little scrapbook page of who guessed what. We will let you know October 30th, whether or not you are correct.

It All Started with a Little Skittle...
