Moving Day!!!!
















Along with birthdays and Mother's day, Davy also moved into his new shop this past weekend. We are very proud of him. His hard work has paid off and he has a beautiful new shop and office area to show for it.

It was a web slinging good time!











Jayden turned five this May! It's hard to believe that five years have passed. This year he chose Spider Man as the hero to theme his party around. We rented a fun jump Wet Slide and boy did the kids (both young and old) have fun on it. We extended the birthday party into a crawfish boil and we really enjoyed celebrating his "special day" with friends and family. When the kids wore tired from all the climbing and sliding Davy, Troy, and Zachary had fun trying it out ....until of course they broke it.....Thank goodness for getting insurance!
Of course his birthday fell on a week day, so I made cupcakes with blue icing for his classmates. That night Jayden started what I think will probably become a birthday tradition; as we were tucking him in he said very sweetly "Since today is my special day, Can I sleep with you and Daddy?" (Keep in mind they have never slept in our bed with us at home) How can you turn down someones "special day" wish? Of course he slept snug in our bed. However, I wont say the same for Davy and I.




In loving Memory

So much has happened since my last post. January flew into February. February ran into March, and April completely passed me by. May is now here with our two birthday celebrations and I'm left wondering where the year has gone. Unfortunately, for us April left us with a great loss. Davy's Dad, my Father in Law, the kid's PawPaw Dave passed on April 5. He left us so unexpectantly and will be missed tremindously.
While we spent April reflecting on Mr. David's life, It seems sort of a tribute to celebrate a legacy to his name, as we celebrate our two blessing's birthdays this May. We are reminded how blessed we are to be able to share in these milestones as a family. We will miss PawPaw Dave dearly and will continue to honor his memory as we go forward in life.

Happy New Year - 2010











We had our New Year's Eve party again this year. We had quite the turn out. Davy roasted a pig and we got a pallet of fireworks. We also purchased a lot of fireworks for the kids to enjoy. The bonfire seemed to be a big hit for the teenage crowd. The sparklers attracted the preschoolers and boy were there a lot of preschool aged children to enjoy them. The kids rooms looked more like classrooms than bedrooms. We enjoyed our regular guests Jennifer, Jude, Alyssa, and Mia. Jennifer and Ali and Avery also returned. Im glad Ellen, Todd, Andrew and Ryan were able to come. I think the biggest surprise guest was Susan and her parents and Im so glad they were able to bring in the New Year with us! The guest list is entirely to long to include everyone. It is so nice to bring in the New year with family and friends! I love the holidays, but I am very glad to have a break from all of our holiday gatherings. Goodbye to 2009....Hello 2010!
