Grumpy Peter



The other day Peter was feeling a little grumpy so I started taking pictures of him.  When he learned that my new camera had a continuous shoot mode he went crazy with the funny faces.  

The following is a link to the video on our YouTube channel.  



I hope you enjoy it and yes, I know his face is messy in half of them - it was the night we played games and had donuts - what can I say?  ;)

Line Up, Games, Donuts and our Anniversary!



If you need some help with your hair before going to church around here, you need to get in line by the bathroom door.

 
Brian takes them in one-at-a-time to use his styling skills and sometimes a little gel.  If they're lucky they may get spikes for effect.  


  
Sometimes it's hard to wait in line. 


Peter! 



Last week we had a game and donuts night. 




Faith and Matthew mixing up the batter.

Several years ago James made up a board game called Scenic Pass.  Some of you may have been lucky enough to play it.  It's a fun game and we still have it.  

A couple of months ago he made another board game.  I like to call it Star Battle, but I'm not sure it's an official title.  




Those are planets on the board.  It's a space battle game.  

Good thing we saved the paper money from an old Life game.  It comes in handy for buying cruisers and squadrons. 








There's a little butter in the recipe.




After a short time the donuts were ready.  


Oh yea!


Yummy!



May 3, 2013 marked our sixth anniversary in Baton Rouge.  




To celebrate we grilled steaks on the patio.


And had chocolate cake with strawberries and ice cream for dessert.  



Stay tuned for a cool slide show!

I Got Nothing



So I'll share a picture of the sky on our way home from picking up James at LSU this afternoon.  

Needless to say, it rained after we got home and turned the backyard into what we like to call Smith Lake.  

I didn't let the kids outside this afternoon because this is what happens in the yard after a rain . . . 


Cajun swimming lessons






What is Andrew thinking here??


Those mud pictures are from April.  

Jonathan started fourth grade today.  He's excited about his social studies and math classes.  James is on his last week of actual classes before finals - so he's looking forward to summer break.  We're going to another crawfish boil this Saturday which should be fun.  Everyone's healthy and chili is cooking on the stove for dinner.  Can't ask for much more than that!
