A Crawfish Boil

A very dear friend of mine was in town visiting from Little Rock this past weekend. Her fiance is a pro at putting together a crawfish boil and my family was invited to partake. Aaron and I had never been to one before so I wasn't sure what to expect. I learned that a crawfish boil is less about the eating and more about the visiting. It had already been a very long day so we didn't get to stay but about 4 hours =) And I only got pictures of Evan because he's the only kid that got into it. The others opted for hotdogs...

The food

His first crawfish

And now it's a finger puppet

At one point he had 2 on each hand

Poor crawfish. They have no idea they're about to get boiled...

The biggest in the bunch. Evan called it the Grandaddy.

St Louis

Back in April Aaron and I took the kids to St. Louis for a few days. We had so much fun! There was a lot of swimming, a trip to the zoo and of course the Arch. Walks in the park and eating out and the making of great memories. Enjoy the pictures!!

Our hotel is the red one.

We got to feed the sting rays!!

Me and my girl

They Call Me Mom

Birthday Girl

My sweet baby girl turned 7 last week. It's hard to believe it's been that long. She had, what my mom-in-law calls, a 'festivas'. That's where you REALLY celebrate. To start things off I took Katie to get her first real pedicure. A very special friend met us and we had so much fun! We went next door to a beauty supply place and tried on awesome wigs and had a little fashion show.

My in-laws came by that evening to take Katie birthday shopping. She didn't get home until almost 10:00 =)And, needless to say, her Grandad was a little indulgent.

Saturday was super busy. The big boys had a soccer game at 11:00 and then I was taking Katie to meet her girl cousins and a few friends at a local pottery painting place, Purple Glaze. Again...the girls were so fun to watch as new friends were being made. And then a trip for ice cream. Katie and I got home about 4:00. The kids then had to have dinner and get ready for Parents Night Out at our church. It's from 6-9. So Katie was on the go from 10:30am to 9:15pm.

And Sunday was Mother's Day. Even though it was a holiday for mom's(yes, I was loved on) we had Katie's birthday cake this day. 3 days of Happy Birthday =) She's so worth it.

Glitch

Had a glitch with the privacy settings on Aaron's video. Should be all good now but let me know if you still can't view it.

Brag time =)

Our church does a Chili cook off and Talent Show. Last time Aaron played a church song. This year he played You Don't Know Me. Thought I'd share =) He is so hot!!
