MIKE'S KIDS CLUB

This year we enrolled Madilyn in the Mikes Kids Club at LSU. Yesterday they had an event at Tiger Park. Madilyn brought Grace with her to enjoy the festivities. All of the kids got to tour the Softball Facilities, eat pizza, make spirit posters and go out on the field for pre-game announcements.

LSU Softball Catcher, Morgan Russell's, locker. She is Madilyn's favorite player.

Madilyn and Grace found a shady spot to enjoy their pizza.

LSU Softball Squad Room. We found out each girl sits in the same chair during meetings because

 they are supersitious.



PINKALICIOUS

Sunday Feb 27th a group of us went to see PINKALICIOUS the Musical at the Manship Theatre downtown in the Shaw Building. Here are a few pics.

There was a cupcake decorating party before the musicial started. We all decorated pretty pink cupcakes and drank pink lemonade.

After the show the girls played in front of the Shaw Building in the fountains. I think they enjoyed this as much as the musical if not more.

                                      

FUN FILLED WEEKEND

The weekend started off Saturday at Tiger Park watching the LSU softball team play. It was a beautiful day to be outside. My cheeks even got a little red. Saturday evening we went to Vickii's house for a Valentine's Day Family Dinner with our girls plus Grace. The men grilled us filets that were delicious. It also was great not having to wait in a crowded restaurant.

Sunday - Madilyn, Grace and I went to Heather's house to pick up Morgan and Avery for the day. Before we left I had a couple of Valentine crafts for the girls to make Heather and Shane as a surprise.

 After craft time was over we headed to All Star Lanes to bring Avery to a birthday party. While we were waiting on Avery what better thing to do than get our own lane. I haven't bowled in YEARS so needless to say I am a little sore today. Morgan won both of the games we played. Gutter Bumpers were up for her so that's ALL I'M SAYIN!! Oh - I also have a Bowling scrapbook kit I bought 3 years ago that I will finally have pictures for.



Morgan Bowling!

Of course I had to sneak down and get some pics of Avery at her party.

Notice you won't get to see a picture of me bowling. Some were taken but they will not be posted!

Grace and Avery playing Air Hockey. They were very good at it.

 After bowling we headed to LSU to see Mike the Tiger. He was sunbathing and taking a nap.

After the game we went to Cold Stone Creamery on Burbank. I forgot to bring the camera in so no pics of the delicious ice cream we had.

After being in the house the last couple of weekends it was so nice to be outdoors on a gorgeous day. 

RECENT LAYOUTS

Here are a few recent layouts that I completed on my weekend trip to Arbor Oaks. A couple of them still need a few embellishments added to make them sparkle.

Anna's 3rd Birthday Party

 Ryan and Evan playing dolls!

Christmas at my dad's house. I have added some ribbon and bling to the empty blue spot on page two since I took this picture.

 "A Meow Christmas" - We gave my mother-in-law a Furr Real cat for Christmas as a prank b/c she is very afraid of cats. Come to find out she is afraid of fake cats too.

JR BETA CEREMONY

Madilyn had her Jr. Beta ceremony yesterday at school. I'm so proud of my little girl. She is growing up way too fast though. Before I know I will be attending her graduation.

ARBOR OAKS WEEKEND

Here are a few pics from this past weekend at Arbor Oaks. We had so much fun. The best thing about staying here is you can do whatever you want. If I wanted to read I could read. If I wanted to sleep I could sleep. If I wanted to shop I could shop. If I wanted to scrapbook I could scrapbook. This was my first trip to Arbor Oaks but definitely not my last. I will be going back in March.

 My Fair Lady Room

My favorite color is Red so I just had to stay in this room.

I was so lucky to have my mom come with us for the weekend. She made an 8x8 album and got an early start on her Christmas cards for this year.

Sonic had a short supply of cups by the time our group left Lake Charles. I'm pretty sure there was a Sonic run at least 2 times a day with 7 drinks. If you are good at math that is 14 cups per day times 3 days = 42!

Christmas Morning

Madilyn wanted her bathroom re-decorated for Christmas this year in Zebra. She is sitting on one of the rugs for her new bathroom. Even though Santa is not what Santa use to be (she is a non-believer now)  in our house he still visited her leaving special presents under the tree.

This is her new shower curtan that she picked out on Black Friday that she insisted I get while she was with me.

New Vera accessories of course!

New Decorated Bathroom! Still have some extra special decorations to hang on the walls!
