My Baby "Cort" on his first hunt...

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.

My Boys

Charlee's 3

My Niece turned 3 yesterday.

Happy Birthday Charlee!!!

Ryan and the Boys

We spent Mardi Gras day relaxing along the lake, on the LSU campus. I tried to give my camera to Ryan to take a picture of me with the boys but it didn't come out that good.

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

New Years Day!!!

Welcome to 2009....

Hope everyone had a wonderful New Years Day....

I heard that whatever you do for New Years Day you will do most of the year. I can believe it because it seems like all we do is eat on New Years Day and for those of you who know my family that is usually all we do all year long....We usually spend it with the Thibodeaux's at my moms. We always have seafood and chicken gumbo for the anti-seafood people. And every sweet you can think of from chess pie to pralines. However, things were a little different this year. I usually wake-up early so that I can help my mom and grandma get things ready. I'm talking 9-ish, but this year Ryan woke me up extremely early. They wanted to go duck and squirrel hunting so we had to be in Parks, La before day break or we would ruin there hunt. Whoop-tee-doo! So I dragged my self and the kids out of bed at 4:30 this morning. Which wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't stayed up waiting for Logen to come in from a bonfire last night at Dillan's. I went to bed sometime after 1 am. That's 3 1/2 hours of sleep. I hope that is not what I have to look forward to this year. I hope that saying is a myth.

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!

Brae in the wee hours of the morning.
