Spring Is Here

 

Playing outside in the clovers,

smelling the flowers

and of course catching bugs.

A LONG 10 Weeks

I'm so thankful for my helpers...

been ten weeks without my love around

so managing the house remodeling,

school and yard work is overwhelming.

We may be six weeks behind in

school, but we are working

hard, "team work" to stay positive

while daddy is off working

hard to provide for us.

Ice Down South

It's not too often we get snow or ice
but this year it came at us hard, for
three weeks straight we were fighting
all that nasty sleet, ice and snow.
Was thankful my love got to fly home
for a few days and help cut up the big
branches...and a kind neighbor came
and helped me with one that fell
later on. :-)

It was pretty I have to admit.

But it damage my oak trees and

we had a mess to clean up.

Was without electricity for over

24hrs. so not fun and COLD.

Sweetheart was making 

himself a tee pee fort

but the dogs thought it

was their dog house. 

Little by little the kiddos

and I got the mess cleaned

up....now we have a huge

brush pile to burn, smores!

Moving Forward

It's been six weeks since we got the keys
to our new house, we started right away
at remodeling and making it our OWN!

Enjoy the before and after pictures...
Still have a lot to do, bathrooms are
still unfinished, kitchen still needs
cabinet doors painted and our living
room is still NOT PAINTED!

My kitchen is starting

to have a brighter glow.

The dining room is

being used as my painting

station, so no table.

I've been working on

the kiddos room

so the living room is

staying the same.

What was the dinning room

is now our school area...

started back school last week

and that's been challenging.

Baby girl got her pink room

and loves her "princes bed".

The kids helped me paint and

put back trimming and

molding in the boys room,

talk about a job *sigh*.

And bubba finally gets his

OWN ROOM, one happy boy.

Sneaux Days

We got snow/sleet and temperatures in the teens
here in central Louisiana...

Baby girl trying to ride her bike

in the frozen snow...

Sweetheart made a snowman

chewing gum...

Lil' man getting a ride in

a tote on the sleet...

Bubba trying to walk on

ICE...not easy!

School Pictures

With all the remodeling of the house, I almost
forgot about taking school pictures...
School year 2013-2014

Teenager in the house

Our oldest turned thirteen on New Years Day
our lil' boy is growing up fast...too fast.
He wanted a Lego theme party, and he was the
first to have a party in the new house.
