A Cedar Creek Easter

We spent Easter at the lake with Nana and Pops, plus a couple of bonuses - Uncle Vinny and Owen!!! Owen came on his first trip to Texas all by himself to visit his family. Charlotte LOVES going to the lake house these days and was extra excited to have a buddy to play with. The weather was beautiful, even warm enough to swim (or at least Owen thought so!). Nana and Pops got a new "barge"... a beautiful pontoon boat. It is heavenly, I could just ride around all day. Charlotte agreed that it was pretty nice - it lulled her to sleep in just a few minutes after a big time playing. Nana made a delicious lamb feast Saturday night to celebrate Easter. The bunny came Sunday morning and hid the baskets and after church we had an egg hunt in the yard. What fun. Thanks to Nana for making everything so special, we had a wonderful visit!

March Madness in Mandeville

Well, now that the bills are paid, thank you notes are in the mail, we are all getting a little more sleep at night and I am feeling like I am getting this whole 2 kid thing under control.... it is time for a blog-a-thon!! I am back to months and months behind, so I am going to attempt to catch up before going back to work. So stay tuned my faithful followers...

In March, we made one last trip to Mandeville before Mama was too big and we had Miss Olivia to take along. We had a great time as always, and the kids totally wore out Lauren and me as always!!! When I look back at these pictures, I realize why Charlotte asks to go back to New Orleans almost everyday!! We just went from one fun activity to the next! We had great weather and spent all of our time outside. Thanks to Lauren and Justin for having us, we can't wait to get back this fall!!

Backyard pool fun!






Swing break - I love that these 2 are really starting to play together

Park fun while Owen was at school


These 2 goofs smashed into 1 swing crack me up!










Slip 'n slide!!












Feeding the ducks - one of my favorite things to do. They are so lucky to have this beautiful duck pond in their neighborhood.









I think H&E did more eating than feeding :)





Buddies




Splash park, the beach and a pizza picnic!

Hilarious... an attempt at a pic of the crew. Ev - happy as usual. Owen - bored to death. Charlotte - mother hen. Hannah - in terrible pain with an ear infection!!! What were we thinking??
