New Family Member

Welcome to the world Ava Ryleigh! My step-sister, Heather, her husband, Joe and Reece (2 years old) have a new addition to their family. She is just precious! Congratulations!!!

Hannah Montana is missing a tooth!!

My sister's husband surprised her with a trip to NY for Christmas. They went this weekend. I stayed with Zach and Kelsey and we had a blast! Kelsey can't decided if she IS Hannah Montana, or if she is her biggest fan...but she sure loves the camera!!! She is a hoot! I took no pictures of Zach...sorry, dude! He is just not that in to posing for the camera...thank goodness!! Anyway, here are some pics and a video of Kelsey in her Hannah Montana outfit. Jules, I had to post the video for you to see....I don't think I can email it. She is so funny!

Here are some pics of Juliette and Mark in NY! She sent lots, but these are just a few of them. It looks so awesome...I want to go!!!

Since Zach got the shaft on the pictures for the weekend, I had to include one. Jules, since I never got your Christmas card, I emailed the pic to myself b/c it is soo cute! Kelsey loves to deck out in pink and sparkles, but she will throw on her helmet and burn some rubber on that 4-wheeler too!

Jon and Kate Plus 8!

Okay, so I don't know how many of you have watched Jon and Kate plus 8 on TLC, but I love it!!!!! They came to speak at a church in Lafayette this morning and we (Kim, Kristy, Natalie, Ms. Faye and myself) drove down to see them. It was so awesome!! We definitely decided that we are the most devoted (and nerdy) fans out there. We plopped right on the front row of the church (how embarassing) and were just going crazy the whole time. But, they were so neat!!! They talked about how God has really provided for their family and brought them through some really challenging times. It was uplifting and encouraging. I cannot imagine having 8 kids under the age of 8...with 6 of them being 3 year olds!!! Of course none of us have the same struggles that they have, but, all of us have trials and challenges in our lives. The things they talked about were just reminders that God is in control, and cares about every aspect of our lives no matter how small or insignificant we feel it may be. He knows us better than we know ourselves and has a plan for our lives!! Here are some pics from today...and a video. They are not the greatest b/c I didn't want to use my flash and I was trying not to be too obvious with the camera since we were on the stinking front row of the church...haha!!!

Weekend in Texas

Ahhh!! Uploading these pictures is driving me crazy!! Some of them are in the wrong order b/c I kept accidentally deleting them! Anyway....Kim, Joseph and I headed to Texas for the weekend to visit our friends, Donald, Erica and Mackenzie. Here are some pics to capture our weekend...we took 552 pictures between the three of us, so I am just going to have to upload them to an album and send them. I couldn't decide which ones to post, so there are a lot...and out of order b/c I am a moron!
My mouth is looking funny..I was in the middle of a sentence...surprise!

We couldn't believe that Joseph was holding LIVE crawfish....he had the best time!!!

Cool eels!!!

I was going crazy over the seahorse!!

Joseph went nuts when he saw NEMO!!!

Sharks...we were on a train in a tunnel..way cool!

Kenzie is so cute!
