Flippin' out with Family

Nothin' like New Orleans

There is nothing like coming to New Orleans and eatin' some AWESOME food!!! Gotta love some boiled shrimp.

Thank you dad, for the GREAT dinner!!!

Flashlight Walks

After we filled up on yummy snoballs, we couldn't let the night end there.(the kids had WAY ...too much energy) My mom and Granny had bought the kids flashlights so we took them on a "flashlight walk". They loved it! What kinds of treasures can you find in the dark?! One of the things the kids noticed was a mouse, yes a mouse hanging from a telephone wire. (actually a computer mouse left from Katrina) Anyway I'll be back later!

"SnoBalls"

Last night was fun, we took the girls for SnoBalls.....YUM,YUM,YUM! Ok, if you like SnoCones, you will LOVE SnoBalls. It's the Best TREAT!!! Only New Orleans has them.

Blueberry with evaporated milk

Savannah got Chocolate and Coconut with condensed milk

This is my Chocolate girl!

Taelynn loves "blue ones" (I think it's just because she likes to have a blue mouth)

"Family Barb B Que"

The girls and I took a road trip this weekend. That's right , for those of you who know me, this is the first trip alone with my girls. (I don't drive long distances very well) It was really good the girls were AWESOME! I will surely do it again. We got in Sunday morning around 11:00, then the family came over for a barb b que. YUM! YUM! We all had so much fun I love coming to New Orleans and seeing everyone!!! My sister is also here with her kids. Everyone under one roof, look out! Six kids and four women. Here are some pictures from the evening. Enjoy!!

Friends, Good Food, and Laughter!!

Tonight we had friends over for dinner with their two kids. It has been awhile since we have anyone over. I LOVE having friends over!! We had such a good time, they are kinda new friends from our AWESOME Sunday School class. I wished it was a weekend so they could have stayed longer, we really enjoyed their company and getting to know them better. Next time we will try to get together on a Saturday. John made his famous lasagna and Lisa brought dessert.....oh my... a brownie trifle!!! YUM! YUM! The kids did so good together too. That was a GREAT treat, Jasper surely made a new friend tonight. John says we need to get Brandon's heart right, he is a gator fan....YUCK! We will work on that this football season. I mean really, he lives in Georgia now, I am sure there is a DAWG in there somewhere! Only 6 weeks until football!!

She's Home

She is HOME!!!! I was so excited to see her today. She had a BLAST! Her favorite part was the wave pool. She made lots of new friends. When we started walking to the car she began telling me all about camp and did not stop for the next hour and a half.

Her sisters were happy to have her home.

Savannah had the BEST counselors, this is Darby.

This is D.D. and Savannah's new friend Megan.

Jasper's First Sleepover

Well, after a fun filled day at the pool Jasper came home to get ready for her friend Macauly to come over for her very first sleepover. I can't believe she is having sleepovers, I am just glad that it is with such a GREAT friend. Macauly and Jasper have been friends since they were born. We played and colored for awhile then we went to meet John at Roadhouse for dinner, the girls had a blast! Then we came home for some tattoo fun, then they asked to go to bed. Overall pretty easy, no drama!

BTW I am still missing my Savannah!!!

Catchin up with a friend

Today was a great day!! I got spend some time at the pool(which I LOVE) with my friend Hollie, I was soo... excited to catch up with her. We very rarely get to see each other, (that needs to change) our girls are really close in age just a few months apart. Addie and Jasper had a lot of fun together. It was awesome to see them at the pool swimming around so good. Especially jumping in the "deepness" (as Addie says) and swimming to the ladder. Hollie, it was so good to spend some one on one time let's do it again soon.

Our two girls, Addie and Jasper!

Me and Hollie, Jasper took this picture. Hollie, I think our girls did pretty good with the camera.

Oh, this was Jasper's entertainment after Addie left. A grasshopper. She made a bed, weeds, even a pool so it could swim.

Taelynn did so good today swimming she is now just in a vest and she even took this off a little today to swim to me.

By the way Hollie, glad to know you are still drinking coffee. I am enjoying my nightly cup right now!

My BIG girl has gone to camp

Alright, she has left me for the week, boo hoo, she has really grown up too quickly. She left this morning for camp in Tennessee, with our church. I can not believe that I did not cry like a baby. I did tear up once but that was because when the bus pulled away, Taelynn started crying "I want my Savannah". So I was touched by the sisterly love. On the other hand, Jasper said "now can we call Macauly to have a sleepover?" (I told her while her sister was at camp she could have her friend sleep over.) Savannah is going to have so much fun, she won't be able to stand it. Every morning at 9:30 is their worship time and every night at 10:15 is their devotion time. We need to pray for all those at camp this week, at these times that they allow God to do a mighty work this week and lots of kids get saved!!! I am posting this in green because Savannah is on the green team this week, GO GREEN!!! I am going to miss her sooo.... much this week. Savannah, I am so proud of you and I know this will be the best time you will have this summer! I love you, Savannah.

This is her sisters saying goodbye (before the tears)

I am just going to have to keep myself extra busy this week to keep my mind off missing my baby. Tomorrow I look forward to spending some time at the pool with a friend and Wednesday another friend is coming over then I guess I will have Jasper's sleepover. I think I will be okay.
