Mardi Gras

The three of us headed to Luling to hang out with Mom and Dad. Billy and I were able to have a "date night" and celebrated my birthday while we were there. We enjoyed some shopping, yummy food, and snuck in a good movie too! While we were in Luling, we also introduced Andy to Mardi Gras. He went to his first parade...the Luling Parade. He seemed to really like it. He loved the music and watching the floats, trucks, and tractors go by. He caught two footballs just his size and held onto those the entire parade.

Andy and Poppy reading! Poppy trying to teach Andy the cow says, "Moo!", not "E-I"

Andy colored a great looking picure before we had to pick up the crayons because someone got curious and wanted to see what the crayons tasted like! HA!

GO SAINTS!!!

Pregame pics...

Here are the beautiful flowers Billy gave me as an early Birthday present! Aren't they just beautiful!

WHO DAT!!! What a game for the ole' Saints! The three of us watched and celebrated the game last night with some new friends we've met here in Columbus. We boiled shrimp, had sausage, deer, and lots of other yummy food. We had a ball. Andy also had a blast playing with lots of other kiddos! He hated to leave and go to a quiet home-our little social bee!

Look what I like to do..

Look at Andy's new art work... I noticed the teeth marks in his bed just the other day when he got up from his nap! I guess he got bored waiting on me to come or maybe it just felt good on his gums...who knows!!! Andy is super busy and as you can see he was worn out the other day and took a rest on the empty diaper box! It was hilarious watching him just chilling on the box in the living room! Andy still loves to read and do lots of puzzles and now enjoys climbing on and into whatever he can get his hands on! He's a character and is getting ready to go on a road trip! We're heading to Luling, Eunice, and Duncan to do some visiting with the family. Yay!!! Can't wait!

New Tricks

I know the video is not upright, but I wanted to share with you Andy growling like a tiger and quacking like a duck. The picture is of him sucking on two pacifiers at a time...you never know what he's going to do next!

Tis the Season!

Merry Christmas Y'all! We hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful time of year and remembering the real reason we're celebrating! The three of us have had a great December. Andy is growing too fast and keeps us super busy! He still loves to read. You'll see in a few pictures Andy's sitting in his "reading" chair in his room. He's still not to sure how much he likes his chair! He loves to help with whatever is going on...helping me unload the dishwasher! Such a big boy! There are several pictures of Andy by our Christmas tree. He's doing great with it and doesn't really bother the tree to much...he only seems to play with a few ornaments(ones that are fine to play with). Hope everyone enjoys their families and Christmas! I'll post more pictures soon!

Happy 1st Birthday, Andy!

The proud grandparents with the Birthday Boy!

Well time has gone by WAY to fast and now our little guy is already one year old. I can't believe it. He had a wonderful first birthday at the BCM, the day LSU played Arkansas! Whew! What a game...sure glad we pulled that one out! Andy had lots of his little friends and family come to celebrate with him on his special day!!!! The little ones played by doing Old MacDonald puzzles, making sticker books, and reading farm books. Oh what fun they had!!! We had some yummy gumbo thanks to Mrs. Janet and Uncle Moon, along with some side ideas provided by Mom and Granny. Thanks everyone!!! I think Andy had a blast and it was so wonderful seeing everyone!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

The three of us headed to Eunice where we spent a wonderful Thanksgiving together. We ate some yummy food and got to visit with Maw Maw, Aunt Jenny, Uncle Gene, and cousin Mark. We had a wonderful time together and Andy loved playing outside! He wanted to go outside as often as possible!
