Signs of Summer

Cort

The forgotten one! We are always so busy with Logen and now Braeden that we seem to forget about Cort. But he lets us know when he needs a little attention.

Potty Time

We did a little grocery shopping yesterday at Wal-mart and when I went to get some more diapers Cort saw a potty. We had been saying we were going to get one we just kinda put it off, after all he is the last one so we are trying to keep him a baby as long as possible. But he insisted he get one...so I did. When we got home I unloaded the grocery and put the potty on the snack bar. He ripped it open with the help from Braeden and took off his pants and diaper and sat on the potty. Then he played with the potty...needless to say he has not done his business in the potty yet but at least he wanted it and knew what it was for. Last night he sat on the potty for about 20 minutes while he watched TV...then got up and pottied on the side of it. I call that progress!

Puppy Love!!!

Thank goodness that they both forget fairly easy...

Check out the "boots" !!! He only lets us take them off so he can bath...

Fixing the Fence

Our Fence

Well it is finally getting fixed.....My father-in-law offered to fix it for us and Ryan so willingly said yes.....not sure if he really wanted to or was just being nice but Ryan took him up on his offer. Seems like we are too busy @ night and on weekends to fix things.

So he came by today and while he was working I snapped a few photos.Mr. Dan fixing the fence

Christmas Morning

Christmas Morning.....

For the last few years...I make a big breakfast and we sit back and watch the kids open there gifts from Santa. Usually my parents and grandparents come and a few times Ryan's Dad showed up. But, this year everyone had something to do or some place to go. My mom and grandma Borel went to church and then started preparing for the Borel get-together. And MawMaw Lucy went to Joey's for Christmas. And Mr. Dan(Ryan's dad) went to relatives in Pineville.

Cort just waking-up....He eventually got into the action.
The Tree....this tree was re-decorated many times over the past month.

Christmas Eve

Well, these are from Christmas Eve.....Every Christmas Eve for the past 6 or so years we spend it with the Domingues. He has an annual gathering and cooks a kickin' seafood gumbo.

Relaxing after that BIG MEAL.....

Wouldn't you believe it he went back for seconds....Cort thanks God everyday for his Parrain.

And before we gather our things to make our annual visit with the Domingue's we open gifts with my parents.

My mom and dad purchased a TV for the boys.

Cort loves clothes...

Florida

Beast at the Beach

While we enjoyed the snow we were glad to see the beach. Logen competed in a varsity wrestling tournament in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. It was a nice getaway.

Logen didn't win any matches and he was a little down about it. But Brusly placed 4th in the tournament. Remember Logen is only a Freshman and he was competing against Seniors.
Brae didn't want to watch his brother he said he could see him wrestle anytime he went straight to the beach.

SNOW!

Hello everyone....it seems like I am always too BUSY to post.

Anyway we have been so busy lately I haven't had a chance to sit down and update my blog. So I'm going to catch you all up now.

It was December 11th and about 5 something in the morning and my cell phone started ringing. All I could think is someone had died. By the time I got to it the phone had stopped ringing but I glanced outside and saw something we don't see too often in South Louisiana.

SNOW!!!

I scrambled through the house and woke up the boys, Logen didn't believe me and went back to bed. Regretting it later on. But Brae had a blast in with this white stuff. We let Cort sleep in and woke him at day break.

At about 9 am Ryan made Logen get up and he was so upset with himself for not waking earlier.

The boys had sooo much fun....

(By the way no one had died, it was just my cousins wife letting us know it was snowing. Thanks Tasha.)

The "Dog" had more fun then the kids.
Brae making snow angels.

Cort wasn't sure if he wanted to go outside. He watched for about 30 minutes and then decided to go. He had a blast.

Logen finally woke-up and went play.

Cort.

My boys!

No gloves!

Looks like he is in a Blizzard!
