Ok, lets start with a few months ago. We have had a busy past few months. We've had softball games, school functions, end of school parties, vacations, painting, and much more. I take so long between blogs that this might take a while.
in there before. I think we're going to do our room next, along with our long list of to do's. We're going to put in a wood deck in our back yard. I just have to wait until Sean is up to it. He works really hard and long in the heat, so it might be a while. The list never ends of things I want to do to the house, at least that's what Sean thinks.
3 steps for every 1 step he takes. Other than the sprint running we had a fabulous time. 
I thought I would p

Thank you Donna for taking us on the carriage ride, it was really great!
Kissing cousins, I bet this picture embarrasses him in a few years!
The famous pose, I think I've seen this pose for the past 20 years! We can't have a get together without it. ........to blog that is. I shouldn't wait so long between blogs. Just wanted everyone to know how excited I am about this weekend. Its going to be so much fun. I think we should all get a huge condo at the beach next summer and have a three or four day weekend. Now, that would be so great. We don't have to leave the guys out, but sometimes it is fun to do things on your own. Although I am kind of sad to leave Sean home alone, but don't worry I'll get over it. Love ya'll and see you soon!
We now have a sex offender in our neighborhood. He lives about seven houses down. He was convicted of carnal knowledge of a juvenile. He has actually lived there for a while, but we just received the flier in the mail. Scary! We already knew about him, because you know how news like that spreads like fire. The story goes like this, he was 26 and dating a girl who was 17. Her parents knew they were dating, but she got pregnant and they said he had to marry her. He refused and they got angry. So that is what happened, it still is never good to have a sex offender live in your neighborhood, but I guess it could be worse. He is dating the woman who had the dogs that attacked the little boy. Things just seem to be getting worse for her. I guess the saying "when it rains, it pours" definitely applies to her.
Look how cute! Alexia likes to treat Chewee like a baby. She was pushing him around in her baby stroller and he fell asleep.
Cousin Jade and Alexia had so much fun together.
Old MawMaw and Old PawPaw came down to visit. 
Austin receiving his award for being in the Beta Club.
Alexia receiving her first grade honor roll award. The weather was so nice today. It always takes so long for it to cool off in Louisiana, but today it didn't reach 80 degrees. Which made it a great day for having fun with the kids. Austin and Alexia didn't have to go to school today because we have a fair going on. I'm glad that they have the day off, but I just wonder why they get a day off for a silly fair. They do things different down here in Livingston Parish. There what we call "country"! So, anyway we got up early and went and ate at McDonald's. Alexia spilt her drink twice, and of course she started to cry. I didn't even fuss a her, she is just like me though, so tender hearted. Then after that little episode, we picked up two friends, one for Austin and one for Alexia, and headed to the movies. We saw "Open Season", it was really cute. When we got out of the movies the weather was still so nice, so we went to the park and played for a while. I tried to swing, but for some reason the older I get I can't take any kind of motion. I got very nauseated! We still had a lot of fun. After, Sean got off of work we headed to the mall, but once I was there I wished I was home because I was ready for a nap. I couldn't tell him that though, because he didn't want to go in the first place. He just wanted to make me happy. Which he did! We had a great day.
Ok, I confess. I have made a major blog and email sin. I did not read my blogs or emails for about a week. So, I have a lot to catch up on. SORRY!
Well, to start Lexi is home sick from school today with a sore throat and fever. She is so pitiful when she is sick. I can't leave her side. She has a doctors appointment a 11 o'clock, so hopefully she'll start to fell better soon.
Friday night we all met at Chili's for dinner. We had to wait over an hour for a table of nine, and by that time I was starving! So I had to get a burger, not good if your on weightwatchers, but I did split it with mom, so it was really only half the points. Mom, Dad, Alexia, Chad, Stacy, and Caleb all went to walmart after. I think they needed to walk some of their food off. But, it never fails mom and dad MUST go to walmart every single Friday night. They are obsessed with it. I would have gone to but Sean was ready to go home. He hates to shop! Especially on a full stomach.
Saturday, Austin went to a friends house for the day. Alexia went shopping and got her nails painted with one of our neighbors. Sean and I stayed home and watched a disappointing LSU game. So, we were depressed for the rest of the day. I did get to go shopping later that afternoon, so the depression started to lift. After shopping we picked up Austin from his friends, and he told us that his friends mom took them to Lone Star. Guess what he got? Lobster and steak! We were actually kind of jealous.
Sunday, we woke up to get ready for church and Alexia and Sean were sick. So, we stayed home. Sean was actually going to go with us, but wouldn't you know it, they were both sick. The one time he said he would go, they would both get sick. Well, maybe next week. We stayed home the whole day and watched the Saints game. They won! YEAH! I think that updates my weekend. By the way, the little boy down the street is doing much better. His scars are really not to bad. I think he can go back to school this week.
Yesterday, there was one of Alexia's friends down the street that got attacked by a dog. The dog bit his face, head , and arm. He was staying with one of our neighbors while his mom was out of town and dad was at work. Well, he went to hug the dog and the dog turned on him and tore into his face and wouldn't let go. The lady who was watching him tried to get her dog off of him, but the dog wouldn't let loose. She severed two fingers in the process. They both went into surgery later that day. Please pray for them and their families. It was very traumatic for both families. They need our prayers. Thanks.
We topped our fun day with something very special. PawPaw's Birthday Party. We had fajitas for dinner and a delicious torte cake. So good. We had all the family over to celebrate with good food and fun. PawPaw turned 55 today! Happy Birthday, Dad. I love you.
Today we picked up our new addition to our family. His name is Chewee. He is precious!! We all want to hold him, so we have to take turns one minute at a time. At first Sean didn't want him, but guess you wants to hold him the most, SEAN. He changed his mind when he finally got to see him. We love him already. See for yourself, he is really cute.
As I type this blog, I hear three little girls giggling and having fun. Alexia is having her sleepover tonight. We brought them to blockbuster to rent some movies and ordered some pizza. They are having so much fun! I think Alexia is getting tired though, because she just came in here and asked when she could go to sleep. So much for staying up all night. Austin pretends he hates all the girls being here, but I really think he likes it. He turned down an offer to go to his friends house to stay home. I think he likes having time to his mom and dad without Lexi interrupting. In the morning we are taking the girls skating for a couple of hours. All the girls are so little, so we'll see how this goes (hopefully not to many bumps and bruises).
After we go skating tomorrow, we are going to pick up our new puppy. He will be six weeks and ready to leave his mom. He is a Shitzu. We have been trying to think of a name for two weeks, but no decision yet. We are going to wait to see how his personality is before we decided. I'll post some pictures when we get him. He is so cute. We picked him out two weeks ago, but he wasn't old enough to come home yet. So, we are really excited to bring him home.
Can you see how much he loves taking pictures. Look at the joy on his face. On the other hand Alexia loves to take pictures. She starts posing as soon as I get the camera out.
