Memorial Day Weekend 2010

We headed to the beach first thing Saturday morning, we got there around 8:30 and stayed until about 2:00. When we first got there, Phoebe didn't want to go near the water, after a little while, she got to the very edge of the water and tried to fill her bucket, it was so cute. By the time we left, she was walking out about 20 feet in by herself and didn't want to stop. We headed home, picked up some lunch and MawMaw came over for a couple hours. Phoebe fell asleep in the car on the ride home, she was exhausted! But we all had a great time! Tammy came and picked MawMaw up and me, Mikey and Phoe went outside and washed the cars.

Then on Sunday, we headed over to Tammy & Rudy's to swim for a while. Mikey made gumbo and brought it over, everyone loved it. Jack came with us, he was walking around the pool and ended up slipping and falling in! He didn't care for that much! Then a little while later, Rudy threw him in... he still didn't care for the water. :) Phoebe wanted to stay and sleep over, so the hubby and I headed home around 5:30. I got a few things done around the house and with home videos (converting them and putting them on dvd) and then we watched Sherlock Holmes (good movie!). A storm came through and knocked the power out 2 or 3 times, but it didn't stay off long.

On Monday, I went and picked up Phoebe from Tammy's, hung out for a bit and then we headed home. Mikey woke up with a migraine so he stayed behind. We hung out around the house for a while, cooked some lunch and then Tam and Ru invited us bowling, so we headed over to the bowling alley, the kids had a great time! Then we went to the grocery and then home and stayed there! It was a fun-filled weekend! Pictures and videos to be posted soon!

Phoebe's Class Ceremony 05.28.10

The learning center that Phoebe attends had a celebration today. One was the preschool graduation for the kids going to Kindergarten next year. And the other was for the class that's moving up to Pre-K next year. It was so cute!

I'm hoping to post videos soon, but they are too large for You Tube, so I'm trying to figure out what to do to get them online. Meanwhile, enjoy the pictures! (Click on the slide-show to view the pictures larger)

Aidan & Evan's Preschool Graduation! 5/27/10

Aidan & Evan graduated Preschool and will be heading to Kindergarten next year! Where do the years go??! They were so adorable in their cap and gown. And Phoebe was there to show support for her cousins. :) After the graduation, we headed to CiCi's Pizza to celebrate!

Phoebe's Mini Olympics 5/24/10

Today was Mini Olympics at Phoebe's gymnastics school. We were able to go and watch them demonstrate all that they've learned this year. Mom, Tammy, Aidan & Evan were there to cheer her on. They all received award ribbons for their achievements. And Nanny and cousins gave her a ballerina chain and a "Love Niece Always" charm bracelet. She loved them! She did a great job showing off her skills! :) We are all so very proud of her.





Her cousins Aidan & Evan, always there to show their support :)


Tammy, the greatest Nanny ever...


MawMaw, so glad she was in town to show her support :)


And let's not forget me, the greatest Mommy ever! =)




Thanks Tammy for being my camera girl while I was taking video!

Matthew's Graduation & Grad Party 5/22/10

Matthew's graduation party was great, they had a 28 foot water slide, a dunk tank and boiled crawfish. All the kids and graduates... and adults had a blast! Phoebe went down the water slide w/Taylor but she cried when they got to the bottom. The thing was pretty high so I don't blame her for getting scared.







But Phoebe had fun jumping in the spacewalk and playing with Maddi. And Maddi just loves her some Phoebe :)




It ended up being a great weekend! Except Mikey didn't get his tattoo and the drive home was horrible! We got stuck on the Paris Rd bridge for 2 hours. There was a 3 car accident at the bottom of the bridge. The National Guard ended up coming out and turning everyone around on the bridge. We left at 9am and got home around 5... and it usually takes us 5 1/2 hours to get home. But regardless, we made it home safely so all is good!

Matthew's Graduating!

My nephew Matthew is graduating Saturday! We're leaving tomorrow after work to go to Nola. Will probably spend the night by Aggie's in Arabi. The graduation is Saturday at 9am in Metairie. They're having a grad party for Matthew and his girlfriend Britney that afternoon. I'm looking forward to getting to spend time with the family. We've gone in twice in the past month and I've only seen them for minutes each time. So this time I'm guaranteed a few hours! Lol! Then we'll head back Sunday. Mikey is supposed to get his tattoo, we'll see how that goes.

Little Family Outing

It was a gloomy morning and there wasn't much we could do, but we were all itching to get out of the house and do something together. So we all got dressed and took a ride to the mall to walk around and have lunch. Phoebe picked out some navy blue Converse from Journeys and they looked so cute on her. Mikey got him some white dress shoes and we went to Dillards to get my Angel perfume refilled. Then we headed over to Icing and Phoebe saw these silver butterfly earrings that she had to have! We stopped at Claire's and got her some fashionista sunglasses, lol! We had lunch and headed home, Phoebe fell asleep right before we got to the house. She's going to sleep by Nanny's tonight so it's probably best if she gets her rest now, hehe! And we'll meet up at church in the morning, so it's going to be a nice weekend home. We went to Nola last weekend and we are heading there again next weekend for Matthew's graduation, so we were hoping to have a nice, relaxing weekend. So far so good!

CHS Class of '95 High School Reunion 5/8/10

We went in for my 15 year high school reunion this past weekend. It was held at The Napoleon House in the FQ. We had a great time! Getting ready was so much fun! I wasn't able to attend any proms so it was fun to get ready and take pictures before. Mrs. Tess (my mother in law) even helped me with my hair. =) The reunion was from 7-9:30 and then we all headed to BBC then Gold Mine. Aggie & Shannon met us at BBC and we all had so much fun! My hips are so sore from dancing so much! Mikey drank water all night and he was up all night getting sick from a migraine... and he felt horrible all day Sunday. Poor thing was feeling bad while we were out but he kept quiet and didn't tell me he had a headache. I felt fine Sunday, just a little dehydrated and tired, but it was well worth it! We went by Aggie's on Sunday for a Mother's Day get together. I was able to see my whole family (that still lives in LA), even my Grandma! We couldn't stay long since we had to drive back...and my hubby was still feeling pretty bad, but we'll be heading back there in 2 weeks for my nephew's graduation.
