Funday Monday

Memorial Day was suppose to be a long day of swimming, BBQ, and fun, but our plans were changed a little. My poor dad hurt his back and was in and out of doctor's offices for a few days, until they admitted him on Sunday. They did an MRI, and tried to do their best to get him comfortable. He was discharged Monday around 4pm, and had the family over by 5pm. He is such a trooper. Even when in pain, he still wants everyone over and together. So, we did a little swimming, ate a little crawfish, and remembered those that are the reason we celebrate.

We tried this goofy swimming device on Colton....Hey, whatever works!Get em' Raelee

Rub A Dub In Granmother's Tub

After the family left Saturday night, Kevin and Alisha went to mudbug, so we decided to give the kids a bath before I left. Colton and Alyssa started out, then Raelee saw they were having TOO much fun, so she joined them! They were laughing and having such a good time.

"What do you have down there?"

Food, Family, and Friends

Saturday, the family gathered at mom and dad's for a great time. Our cousins from Nashville were in town, so we all had fun getting the kiddos together. Raelee is 5, Harlan is 2 1/2 and Colton and Alyssa will be 2 next month....whew....it was wild. They has so much fun together!Alyssa with her babiesAt least he sharesThe divas of the family

My Little Girl's Big Day

Friday was a very bitter-sweet day for me. Raelee had her K-4 graduation. My little girl is moving on to Kindergarten this fall! She was so excited, but very said that Mrs.Becca would not be joining her on that journey. We have been so blessed to have such a wonderful place for her to go through mothers-day-out, all the way through pre-k. If Raelee loves her other teachers the way she loves Ms.Becca, we have it made. We will miss it terribly, but look forward to her growth in Kindergarten. It's hard to imagine that 13 years from now, my little girl will be a young lady graduating from high school. (at least we all hope and pray!) Her #1 fan Proudly making her entrance They had a wonderful ceremony with cute songs, and then each came up to receive their diploma. Afterwards was a reception complete with a spacewalk.

We love you so much Raelee and we are so proud of you. I can't wait to see the beautiful, young lady you grow up to be : )

Fun At The Fair

Bossier City had a State Fair this year, for the first time. I'm not really sure how it is the Bossier City "State Fair", but whatever. We took our niece, Taylor, with us for her birthday. Her and Raelee are 5mos apart, so they have so much fun together.

It was nice but H-O-T!!!!! They had a blast, and afterwards the girls talked Brad into pizza. Happy Birthday Taylor.....We love you!

Cuddle Time

This is what it's all about : )
Gosh I love these little people so much!

Party At Jill's

I took Raelee to a birthday party at Jill's Gymnastics Saturday. ( I know...today is Thursday....but I'm just getting them up!) She had so much fun. So, of course, now she wants to take gymnastics. As, most of you know, Raelee is not the most graceful little angel, so we may just sleep on this one for a while. Lordy Lordy, let's just get enrolled in Kindergarten first : )
