Christmas 2011

The kids had another wonderful Christmas. Chloe was very excited this year and enjoyed telling Marshmellow, our elf on the shelf, what she wanted for Christmas nearly everyday.

How about some Easter Pictures?

This year for Easter we went to My Uncle Rod's camp on Irish Bayou, and the kids got to play with their little cousin Rafi. They had a great time fishing and boating and can not wait to go back.

Hello? Anyone there?

Wow, it's been awhile. I really have a lot if pictures and stuff to post, but I am so far behind, I don't think I will ever catch up. I guess that when last we met, it was at the end of last summer. Blah Blah Blah I will just post a current picture and then catch up later. K?

I am Really Bad at this Blogging Stuff!

Chloe has now been with us for a little over a year. Wow! What a difference a year makes! Chloe is the happiest little girl in the world and lives life to the fullest. To celebrate being a family for a year, Blaine's 8th birthday and our 13th wedding anniversary (which are all in the same month) we decided to take a short trip to the Happiest Place on Earth. As you can see, we all had a wonderful time!

Then and Now

On the 28th of this month, Chloe will have been ours for 8 months. Ha ha, I just noticed she is eating a lolly pop both then and now. Some things never change!

SNOW

Shhh! Don't tell Blaine, but it snowed here two weeks ago and he doesn't know. See, Blaine goes to school with my sister about 30min. south and east of her, about 30min from New Orleans, and I made him go to school that day because I really did not think it was going to snow. I mean, I know what the weather man said, but this is South Louisiana and we just had snow in 2008 and 2004. What were the chances? Pretty good obviously. Blaine begged and begged to stay home from school because it was supposed to snow here, and I made him go because he had already missed a day that week due to illness, and I really didn't think it was going to snow. I bundled Chloe up (her school was canceled since the night before because of the chance it could snow) and took pictures of the beautiful white stuff. To this day, Blaine has no idea. The snow was completely gone by the time he got home from school, so I never mentioned it to him. I am a bad mommy, I know ;)

Why is Darth Vader in my son's bed?

Blaine loves him some Star Wars! This is how I found him one morning when I went into his room to wake him up for school. He is wearing a too-small Darth Vader costume. He didn't look like this when I put him to bed, so he obviously got up in the middle of the night to put this on. This isn't the first time he has done this either. I have caught him dressed like a Storm Trooper on more than one morning. Gotta love him, I know I do!

Please don't go!

Chloe is almost as attached to my sister as she is to Joe and I. This is what Chloe does almost everytime my sister leaves our house to go home. Isn't that the saddest sad face you have ever seen?

Silly Girl!

Chloe is a very silly girl! She sure had a lot of fun playing with that hat!

GO SAINTS!

I have been a Saints fan all my life. Some of my fondest memories of my Mamier and Papier are from Sunday's during football season. My Mamier was a die hard Saints fan, and my Papier would say things to her about how bad the Saints were just to tick her off. He liked to do that! He was just joking, he just liked to make her mad. I wish my Mamier would have been here to see the Saints win their first ever Super Bowl.
Joe had Drill Super Bowl weekend so we had a low key affair at home with just us and the kids. Chloe loves to watch the Saints and everytime she sees a fleur dis lis she says "Dat's my Saints" and "Who Dat?"

The Zoo

We took the kids to the BR zoo a few weekends ago and we had a really nice time. The zoo in BR is not the best, but it wasn't crowded and the kids had a great time. We wanted to go to the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans, but with the Saints on a roll and Mardi Gras festivities gearing up, we decided we would wait to go there when things calmed down a little and it wasn't so crowded. GO SAINTS!!!!!

New Year's Eve, New Year's Day and my Birthday

No pictures. I was so sick I didn't get out of bed for a week. The kids had fun popping fireworks and enjoying New Year's Day with my extended family. I managed to get myself out of bed long enough to go to my birthday lunch with my family (my mom and I share a birthday, so it was her birthday lunch too). I am now officially in my mid 30's! (35) I used to think that was so old!

Christmas with the Cousins

The day after Christmas we went to TX to have Christmas with the Barnett side of the family.
