Cousin Sister Friend Time + Tech + The Festive Favor

We got to head over to Ruston for a wonderful evening of cousin sister friend time!  (That's what SK calls her time with Lillian)   We stayed with the Smarts ad snuggles Lillian!  We love our girl!

This is her little valentine we gave her!

It's a superhero care bear and a book that says "my niece the superhero!"

Sweetest!

Swaddled and sweeter!

 I got up bright and early and headed to Tech!  Judith (Neil's cousin's wife) is a professor at Tech and was doing a really awesome project with her upper level communications class.  They were assigned a small business to look over their marketing and social media and to give pitch to the small business!

I was honored to be part of it!  My group of 4 guys contacted me and they really knew everything about my business and the ins and outs of the stats and numbers.  I was impressed!  They gave suggestions...one of which I have got to use! ---a more professional way to take my pictures!

I gave each of them a festive favor that says "Thanks a latte for all of your hard work!"  It was a Starbucks gift card!

 I was finished pretty quickly so I met SK and Rebecca at the trampoline park and then we all met Nana at Uptown Downtown for a yummy lunch! 

We got on the road shortly after to get the boys from school. What a fun little night in Ruston!

Mardi Gras Babies

Amy, Catherine, and me (LAC) decided we needed some matching outfits for our babies!  We found these "they all asked for you" Mardi Gras outfits and knew we needed them!

We got together on 2 separate times (once at Tazikis when I didn't have SK) and then once at Amy's house!  What are we going to do when Amy goes back to school!?

John Mayton and Grant are 20 days apart!

SK and Paul

JM, Sister, G, and Paul

Sister loves JM!

Galentine's Day

We had such a fun Galentine's Day at Jennifer's house!  We had delicious Kumo sushi and each brought a favorite thing to exchange!  We are going to do a gift exchange every other month because why not?  

I made a yummy cinnamon chocolate cake with homemade chocolate ganache!  I did a pink drizzle, but by the time I got to Jennifer's it had all moved!

So much fun!  We missed you Leighann!

I got this Bare Minerals clay mask!  Thanks Jenn!

Wacky Wednesday

The day this girl has been waiting for.....WaCkY wEdNeSdAy!

It's hard to call this wacky because this is her natural style!

Leggings, 1 boot, and 1 ked!  And random socks!

3 pontytails, 4 colors, and 1 braid

Henry's Pinewood Derby

Henry had his first Pinewood Derby as a scout!  He and Neil made their car and it was so fast!  He wanted it to be blue with saints and a dragon on it so that's what they did!

Here he is melting the weights to pour in the car.

Blue, of course!

Hammering the wheels

I think Neil and Henry both were so shocked at how fast his car was!  hahaha!

The competitors sit here and watch their race.

yay!

And their off!

Henry's is the dark blue!

speedy!

Bennett competed in the sibling race because he doesn't do scouts anymore!

His is the gold one from last year.

:(

Henry was in the overall race!

1st place in Tigers for Henry!

Way to go Daddy and Henry!

So proud of his trophy!

yay!  Winners!!!

Go Mudbugs!

The Raines didn't want their mudbugs tickets so they gave them to us for a Friday night game.  The kids loved it!

It was Harry Potter night so they passed out glasses.

Cotton Candy for everyone!

Lil Bugger and Clawed

Sweet Snuggles with Daddy

Henry is 101 days smarter!

Henry had his 101 days of school celebration the other day and didn't seem to thrilled about the "make-up" I put around his eye.  He was actually ticked about it!  I wanted him to look like a dalmatian!

Pissed.

 He was happy at school so I guess that's all that matters!

Sweet little class!
