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.

Happy

New Year's Eve

2008.....

Wow....things can turn bad quickly....we were all having fun watching the kids pop fireworks and then Logen said dad look and the neighbors yard was on fire....Who needs fireworks when we could just start a fire.... The guys struggle a bit but managed to put out the fire...It could have been worse....

See ya'll in 2009.

I'm really enjoying my new lens.

Our fence was destroyed for the hurricane and then we fixed it. But the other day right before the snow we had a bad thunder storm and it knocked another branch off the neighbors tree right onto our fence.

Cort enjoying FUDGE...Ryan's dad made.

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.

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.)
