Mimi & Papa's visit to LC!

"Playing in my house outside with Mimi!"Play time for mommy, Anna Katherine and Madeline

One word for this picture: Precious!

Madeline loves to roll around in the green grass (received 4 ant bites, ouch!)

Anna Kate is always this happy unless mommy leaves her sight!

Helping daddy & mommy

Helping daddy with bathroom stuff! Anna Kate is chewing on a small object I think! Yikes!

Madeline is gladly showing off her new Dora panties... still in diapers, daily, but mommy can try!

After helping with the potty, we helped mommy with the laundry...
and loved on "Ohh Kate" as Madeline calls her - aka Anna Kate!

Madeline Claire and mommy enjoy looking at a rainbow after bathtime...
...looked more amazing in person!

Help daddy enjoy a raining afternoon!

Anna Kate helping mommy put a smile on her face after a long day!

Ahhh Sugar Suga'

Our little candy girl

Anna Katherine is enjoying her first real taste of sugar and loving every lick! Thanks daddy. Her little shirt was soaked in the sweet stuff.

Back in time to Dec 2005

Money mag came out this week with the BEST SMALL TOWNS IN AMERICA: #1 place is Louisville, Colorado, where we lived! So I could not help but look back in time at some pics B.C. (before children). It is really an amazing place to be...look it up if you are in the mood to go on vacation.
Here is my sis Kate, my cousin Branton Broussard & Steven at a major hangout spot in Boulder (minutes from Louisville), Mountain Sun! I think we paid their light bill while we lived there :-)

Here is my wonderful Colorado Family Aunt Ursula, Uncle Malcolm, and Ben Monlezun, they made Steven and I feel right at home. They all live in and around Boulder. This is downtown Boulder on Pearl Street. Great place to live and visit!

Here is Ben and I at Mountain Sun. Some of yall might know these family members listed in this post from school.

Okay so this house is our sweet little home in Lousiville, CO. Now first of all it is Dec in the pic so of course it is snowing, but people get the wrong idea that Colorado has snow all the time. Not true! Especially east of the Rockies, where Boulder, Louisville and Denver are.
Steven is in the door looking out..can you see him? We loved the snow here. It melted so fast once the sun peaked through the clouds.

Thanks for looking. I am not doing marketing for Colorado (wish I could :-) ), I was just breathing deep and wishing at this moment I could be in some snow in July!

Summer Time Fun...

Anna Katherine is sitting up very well and has started to crawl already! Little Miss Climber has already had some head bumps. Good thing she has a hard head...runs in the family :-)

Visiting family in Ruston, LA for the July 4th week, the girls had a great time with their cousins!

Madeline certainly enjoys watermelon...well all food, like her momma

Steven turned 34 on July 4th! What a cutie-pie...I think!

Mommy and daddy got a real date and went to Lincoln Parish Park. So pretty in and around Ruston, with all the rolling green hills you forget you are in Louisiana! This was a relaxing time.

The day we returned home from the Ruston trip, Anna Kate discovers her new friend the walker. Thank you Nanny Sarah for the gift!
Madeline is ready to see her first ballet recital to see her cousins in Lake Charles, but we would not go without...

...her ballet shoes in "tow"...couldn't help myself with the pun!

Madeline's Big Girl Bed

"Helping daddy break down my crib"- As you can tell from Madeline's smile she is most pleased with this progress! Mommy and daddy felt a little sad...but wait,we still have another baby in the house, in a crib, so then we quickly got over it!

Loves to jump on beds, well likes to jump on anything really. Anna Katherine watching her big sis wishing she could do that and mommy watching too, wishing she had the energy like that!
FYI: we did put rails up! :-) We are (okay mommy not daddy) still looking for the perfect bedding too many to choose from out there!

Anna Kate enjoying life. She is one of the sweetest babies ever...but then mommy walks out of the room and Anna Kate goes into break down mode! She loves to be held, all the time. Whew!

The Beach & Anna Katherine's 1st Food

Beach Time! Orange Beach here Madeline comes!
