Baby Showers etc!

Babies, babies and more babies!! I have had my hand in several baby showers this year and there are many more to come! The first few pics are for my friend, Beth Rose, a dermatologist who I went to USM with. The others I posted a caption. Lots of fun hosting and attending these fun events!

Derby party hosted by the VanCoppenhagens!

Shower for our sweet friend, Lavinia!!

Our sweet friend, Ramsey!!

Ceci has made the best of friends with a sweet friend, Ramsey McCollum. They have really bonded and their relationship is too sweet. I love their care-free and loving spirits. I feel like they were meant to be best friends! And the added bonus - her Mom is the coolest! We love the McCollums!!

2nd Annual Duhon Crawfish Boil!

Of our close friend group, we decided to add #3 (Joseph) to our clan and that put us last in the hosting category. Yikes! Tied up with baby. BUT, we have been blessed with amazing friends who carry us through! However, the ONE thing that we currently commit to and thoroughly enjoy is the CRAW boil!! Jonathan can boil a mean batch of crawfish, and we all reap the benefits! YUMMERS! It's a fun day had by all, evidenced by the lack of pictures taken! Too much fun eating and being merry!!

Les is a TIGER CUB!

Where do I start?! Tiger Rock taekwondo has been such a HUGE part of Les' life the past year (age 4 to 5). This sport not only engaged his motor skills and coordination but truly helped his confidence, discipline and endurance. I couldn't be more thankful for the skills and development that this curriculum teaches. He has earned a new belt at every testing period (in fact, his teacher said most can't start solid color belts until 6 years old but Les could at 5 yrs old because he's the next belt away!). Les has truly excelled in taekwondo, and Jonathan and I are so thankful for this. I see great things in Les' future regardless of what sport or activity! He is flat out a smart, energetic and talented young man!!

DanceSouth Dance Recital Fun!

Our tiny dancer has grown so much in the years. My goodness!! She is absolutely sweet and precious and has the heart and spirit to dance her heart out!! She has decided this year to pursue other activities -- we have started piano and art class... also to come - soccer! So we put dance on the back burner. But she truly did SHINE each year on stage!! 

More school fun!

I'm sorry, but I clearly think our Ceci was BY FAR the cutest dressed girl on Dr. Seuss Day! Look at her!! Cutest ever!

And "things"! How funny are these two?! Briggs definitely has the hair for "thing!"

We tried with J-town. He wasn't digging the faux-"thing" headband! BUt he did decide to crush Buzz Lightyear!

Woodstock Day at BDS! The major take-away from this event... my daughter HATES to be dirty. Apple doesn't fall far, I guess. Eeeek.

I only got her to smile for this 3 second picture!

Well, I take that back. One other time when our sweet friend Laurel wanted to carry Ceci to the car!:)
