Insectarium

On one day Andy and Nolan took the 2 order kids on a kayak trip in a National Park Swamp. More on that later as the pictures are on Nolan's camera.

We took the younger ones to the insectarium. I will have to say this was awesome. It was super nice and I pretty much liked as much as the aquarium.

Cooking with bugs.
Amelia ate them!!








Finally got Jack in a photo !!



















Sneak peak from kayak trip. Baron in a pink kayak. Haha. It was a neighbors daughters kayak that they borrowed.

New Orleans

We went to New Orleans over Thanksgiving. We all had the best time. We had amazing hosts!

I'm so far behind on everything. I have been subbing more. And I'm getting ready to go back out of town to go to Memphis Friday morning. I have tons of pictures on Nolan's camera. Those will have to wait and I will at least get the ones off my phone.


Went to the Nature Center on the way to Cape. This was a huge hit with the kids












I have this same picture when he was a baby!


Stopped at Lambert's for lunch! Do yum and the kids loved catching rolls.

Cafe Du Monde







Stair step children posing with their "doo doo dolls".


William 7, Baron 6, Clark 5, Amelia 4. We are missing Jack in most pictures. He is not quite 2 and was in a stroller.

Aquarium.
















Thanksgiving Day

Becky and I ran in a 5 mile race. The weather was wonderful and the kids loved playing in their yard. They have a trampoline and a real sailboat which made an awesome play fort!


The kiddos and Nolan were obsessed with their cat that acts like a dog!













Funny story. We stayed up late the day before thanksgiving cooking the meal. We made 2 pies. One was a turtle pumpkin pie ( which was amazing). Then a regular pumpkin pie which I made. All the adults chose the turtle pie and Baron chose a piece of each. He normally loves pumpkin pie but said the regular was gross and throw out. I just thought well maybe he thought it was nothing compared to the turtle pie. Well the next day several adults tried the regular pie and about gagged. Turned out I left the sugar out of the pie I made. Haha. I'm not a night person!!

Family photos

We had family photos over the weekend. I can't wait to see how the kids look. They should be ready in a week. Even though I HATE the bow Amelia was wearing. It was my only purple one. It's too big and I have trouble keeping it in her hair.

After pics we played at the park.


Look at Baron. They had 8 feet high rings for monkey bars. We watched lots if kids try them. None had any success. Then Baron came along he must of did 10 times.

This weekend was perfect. We had lots of time at home. We played a ton outside. Had a bonefire, kids drove tractors, Baron got to shoot his bow a lot ( into a pumpkin)


Amelia went to her little friend Perry's birthday party. They go to preschool together. She had so much fun. They made pizzas, had cupcakes, played, and did a piƱata.

Soccer

Baron had his last soccer game last weekend. It was an out of town game. Since Nolan and I were in Kansas and his grandparents did not want to drive there. We are very thankfully to his friend Matthew and his family. They have played sports together for over 2 years. They came and picked Baron up and took him. So blessed to have friends that did this. They even took him out to eat.

He did get his trophy. He is not trilled with it. Says its the same soccer trophy he has got for 3 years. I guess you get picky after already having quite the collection.

Baron was cold at night. So I think Santa may bring him his own 20 degree mummy bag!
