ON GUARD!!

Daddy, Les and J Town sword fighting! They ALL love it!!







Uncle Jules gets MARRIED!!

Uncle Jules got MARRIED! We are all so excited for him! We love Brittany and couldn't be happier for those two. It was a fun weekend. Poor Joseph got left at home. It was just too much activity to include that poor fella! The rehearsal dinner was at the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art, the ceremony was at St. Michael's Catholic Church in Biloxi and the reception was at the Slavonian Lodge. What a great weekend!!


Harp player. Les almost knocked it over. Oops.

Ceci and the stunning bride!

Miles & Jules!


We stayed at Nanny and Poppy's house that weekend. They have this little pup named Juju. Firecracker! 

Had to fit in some crawfish time!

And the kids insisted on "testing out the water" at Nanny and Poppy's. OMG. It was cold (as you can see by my fur vest at the rehearsal dinner). It warped into - let me put my feet in the water - to THIS! It's a miracle nobody got pneumonia.


Pictures before taking off to the ceremony!

With Uncle Miles! Les being silly as usual.

Reception fun!

The bride and groom getting the flower girl to dance!:)

And the ring bearer being cool!



Jojo!!

My main man giving me big kisses!

Joseph starts MDO!

Oh MY STARS!! This little man steals my heart every single day. After he turned one, we started him at Temple's The Learning Depot. He loves it (once I leave:)). He's still having a little separation anxiety as all the other kids did, but he's adjusting... and it's nice for everyone!:) He really is loving playing with his new best buds. He only has 2 other boys in his class, so he gets lots of attention! As you can see over his head below, Ceci insists on "dropping him off" with me each day. She LOVES her little baby.


FIRST day!!

Not sure what to think...:)

Hanging with his new (and first) best bud, Liam Dyess (son of Hunter and Sommer Dyess)

There they are just a strollin'!

CUTIE!

Christmas MORNING!

I love these babies!! Christmas morning was TOO fun!! We were too busy opening gifts to take many pictures... but boy, did we have fun! Later that morning we went to Mam-ma & Papa's house for a very relaxing day. Jonathan and I even got to take an afternoon nap. BEST gift ever!!

Being an adult stinks! The holidays pass by WAY too quickly. Next year I'm boycotting everything! I plan to sit around every night, drink hot chocolate and watch The Grinch! That's it!







Happy New Year!

We had so much fun ringing in the new year with our big kiddos. We celebrated with great friends, the Hartels, Wateres and Paladichuks. Joseph stuck around at home with Mam-ma & Papa. Poor boy gets fussy if he gets off his schedule! Thankful for Mam-ma & Papa!

New Years Day, Jonathan and I headed to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl. Hotty Toddy! Great game, so fun! Ole Miss beat Oklahoma State 48-20!

I can't believe 2015 has come to a close. We are so very blessed with our precious family and all the Lord has done in our lives. I am eager to see what we have in store for 2016! 













The Good Dinosaur & Daddy/Ceci Date Night!

Over the holiday, Daddy has really been having fun, quality time with the big kids! I've been stuck at home at the mercy of Joseph's naps, but that won't last long!

Jonathan took Les & Ceci to see The Good Dinosaur.:) This was Les' first big screen experience!!

And a couple nights later, Daddy took Ceci on a special date... Half Shell. She even ate two oysters! Big girl! At the end of the night, Jonathan asked "Ceci, what did you like best? The bread, shrimp, oysters, broccoli?" Her reply, "Just being with you Daddy."
Ummm, heart MELT!

She was SO PROUD and excited!

Christmas Gifts! And J Town is 10 MONTHS!

Mam-ma & Papa got us this nice swing!! What a great idea! We love it!!

Our friend, Robert St. John, gave us the neatest gift this year!! Some delicious olive oil flown in from Tuscany. See story below!
