Happy New Year 2010

OK so I was yelled at about not keeping up with the blog! So here we go I will try to be better at updating my life and not just on facebook!
So since the last entry Jaxon started Kindergarten and we love his teacher. Katie has a great teacher in preschool and she loves school.
We went on a cruise for Thanksgiving - the kids had a blast and can not wait to go on another one!
Erik and I are doing great. Waiting to see where his job will take us this year. As of now just to the gulf but that is subjected to change!
This year I am starting with a lot of ambition. Now I just hope I can keep up with it!
Today I went back to eating healthy, with Erik working off shore, me and the kids ate a lot of convenience foods which was really bad for my weight so now starts the task of removing it! I plan to eat healthy and work out!
I have also decided to start painting my house. This is going to stress me out till I decide on colors which is why I have not done it before! I plan on going this week to pick out colors at least to pick up ideas!
I am going to work on Katie's scrapbooks. I need to do her first 2 years in the books I have then I am going to do the rest on the computer. I really like how Blurb books turn out. I also need to work on my Mom's book for Mother's day!!
I think the last thing I have planned is to purge out the unwanted stuff in my house. We have so much stuff we do not use or need and I just need to get rid of it! Sad for me my neighborhood is no good for garage sales (too far out of the way - which is great because we have no traffic but it is bad for garage sales for that reason!)

2009 was a good year for us. A year of travel! Now lets see how long I can keep up with my task for 2010!

Happy Anniversary to me

For my anniversary I spend the day with Megan and the 4 kids in New Orleans! Erik did not want to go and stayed home - That sums up our 11 years!






Megan got attacked by a butterfly

Friends

Megan and I are very lucky that our kids love each other!

Thursday July 2nd

We went to Insectarium on Thursday with the Comeauxs. We had a great time, there was some really gross things but the kids loved it! My favorite part was the butterfly room. It was the last room you came to and it was full of cool butterflies!

Jaxon

Here is a cute picture from our 4th of July - I hope everyone had a great one!

Some pictures from June

pictures with the new camera at Blue Bayou





Playing at my Mom's house



As I was putting up these pictures I remembered something a friend told me last night - someone we know has a 18month old and she only has about 20 pictures of her .....total!! I did not know what to say, I take more then 20 pictures in a week!

fussed at...

Ok so today I was fussed at for not keeping up the blog!
Today the kids and I took Erik to work since his car is in the shop - he was side swiped yesterday by a truck, he is alright and the car does not have much damage but it still will take time to fix. On top of that the "new" rims he bought about 3 months ago are no longer avaiable so if the insurance will not buy us 4 new ones we are are going to have to foot the bill on the other 3 (all because someone did not see Erik's little car!) Anyway we decided to go to the Aquarium while we were in New Orleans. Here are some pictures from our afternoon!

only one picture for now the computer is acting funny! Sorry I will try again soon.

Summer begins

We have been have lots of fun! This past weekend we were with family all day Saturday. The cousins got to play together as we celebrated a friends birthday. Claire and Emma did great at with their dances! Hallie and I had fun watching it with out the kids!! Erik has been busy digging my patio. Last week we had fun with friends swimming and playing at the spray park.
Pictures to come soon!!

End of Pre-K

This picture sums up how pre-k went by.... in a blur!

another broken toe

Ok I know I am a clutz but come on - I found out today that I broke my big toe on the right foot, last Jan it was the left foot! So I am pretty sure I will be having a bone scan soon!

our cocoons

We have only found 3 that turned into cocoons and a few that looked like they tried but something happen. We will keep you up to date since I know you are all waiting to find out more!

mac and cheese mouth

after I saw the cheesy mouth

butterflies to hummingbirds

As our caterpillars are becoming butterflies our flowers are not going to waste. Hummingbirds have been hanging out today! I am going to try to get pictures tomorrow.
Erik is going to the after hour clinic across the street because he is swallowing rocks and I am next because I am swallowing glass! Strep sucks!!! ( or what ever it is we have!)
is it wrong if we start using this clinic instead of heading to the Dr office? The co-pay is the same.

Katie's cake

Who needs Bugville?

We have our own bugville out our living room window and we love watching the catapillars grow. We even protected them from the bug man yesterday - Erik even stood in front of the butterfly weeds even after telling him not to spray that side of the house. The kids have fun finding and counting our 12 catapillars.

Happy Birthday Tommy and Jerry

Not only was this a great Easter but it was Tommy(6) and Jerry's(38) birthday. What a day to have your birthday surrounded by friends and family. I am sad we did not get to see tommy on his birthday but I know he was surrounded by love with Hallie's side of the family.
Happy Birthday boys and Happy Easter to everyone!

Happy Birthday Katie!

How fast three years have gone by! Today Katie turned 3. She had a great day today and ate a lot of yummy birthday food. We had Crawfish with friends and family today. It was great then we had a yummy Baskin Robbins cake. SHe decided she was sleeping at Kaitlyn's house tonight so she is next day tonight - such a big girl.
