More pics....

I am currently working on some slide shows of the kids....with older pictures...I have been gathering them, now I have to resize, etc....it's a work in progress but it's coming.....

WHO DAT!!!!!

We are soooooo excited about the Saints going to the superbowl!!! It's something I never thought I'd see in my lifetime! I grew up going to Saints games and this is just such a wonderful thing for the city, it's just amazing! We let the kids stay up to watch the NFC championship. Colton has really gotten into watching sports. They were running around yelling "touchdown Saints!" ...they were also looking for Uncle Neilson because he was at the game! Never saw him though :(

Neilson did say the quarter was unreal! He'd never seen anything like it...people just dancing in the street, unbelievable energy!

Back to Colton and his sports watching....that night, when he was going to bed..he said, "Mommy, I wonder if the Colts beat the Jets?" It's so funny how he knows all the teams and everything!

3 years ago....seems like yesterday!

My sweet Emma is 3! I can hardly believe it.....seems like yesterday....
















Another update with more old pics and birthday party pics later today!...hopefully!

Through the years.....

Colton's 1st Birthday!

Here are some pictures of Colton over the past 5 years......I will do more later...I am tired!

5 years ago......

I was blessed in becoming a Mom. My sweet little boy Colton was born January 12, 2005. I can hardly believe he is 5 years old! He is just growing so fast. He impresses me EVERYDAY with how smart he is. The things he knows is amazing.....he picks up on so much and LOVES to tell me things he's learned. Happy 5th Birthday sweet boy....mommy loves you so much...more than you'll ever know!

It's Carnival Time!!!

Love this season....I can just smell the cotton candy and flambeaux's! I think we are going to take the kids to their first parade this year! We have been so busy these last few months so one of my resolutions is to get back to blogging regularly! I am going to add a collage of Christmas pics sometime this week. I have had enough holidays and am ready to move on.....we are getting ready for a "snow day" tomorrow, so maybe I'll get to catch up then. No school and maybe no work for Nate...so we'll see! Here are a couple of family pics I managed to get this year...turned out pretty good! We never take family pictures....

Happy Birthday Sweet Ella!!!

My sweet baby had her first birthday December 8th! I cannot believe she is already 1. She is growing up too fast! And now she's walking....everywhere! We had a very low key birthday for her. She opened her presents in the morning and we had a family dinner with cupcakes before heading to the kids Christmas program at school. She really didn't even like the cupcake but ate a little bit of it. She loves playing with her big brother and big sister and is really such a sweet baby. She smiles and laughs all the time....sometimes, we are not sure what she's laughing at! Here are a few pics from her birthday......

I promise to catch up on everything by the end of the weekend!
