Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day weekend we went to Lake Fork. With our very good friends The Byers. Ben ate ribs for the first time and LOVED EM! He also got his FIRST haircut while we were there. (that deserves its own post)

Ben had such a good time! We all had such a GREAT time we will be back for The 4th of July!

Day 365

On Ben's Birthday we got up and had his birthday breakfast at IHOP with Grandma, Aunt Becky, and Cousin Trent. Ben of course ate a little bit a lot of everyone's breakfast. Some of momma's and grandma's migas, some of dad's biscuits and gravy, sausage, eggs, and stuffed french toast. He and cousin Trent played all day! They had so much fun! Ben loved pushing Trent in the grocery cart and Trent LOVED the ride!

Later that night we had a pizza party and cake with, Grandma and Grandpa, Minnie and Pop, Aunt Kim,  Aunt Becky and Trent, Aunt Jen and Lily, Aunt Christina and Uncle David, and Cousins Tyler, Wesley, Sara, and Baby Drueckhammer # 4!

Ben is one lucky LUCKY lil boy to have so much family that cares about him!

Sunday Funday

When it was just me and Bo (and Jessica :) we would always have Sunday Funday! Which usually consisted of starting Sunday morning off with brunch and all you can drink mimosas, then off to a bar were we would spend the rest of the day / night!

Now that there is 3 of us we have started back up Sunday Funday! Only now we have to find things to do that are kid friendly :) So this past Sunday was our first official Sunday Funday. We packed a picnic lunch then played at the spray park! We all had so much fun that we all came home and took a nap!

A Piece of New Orleans

I am always so sad when I leave New Orleans! I Love that City so Much! When Ben was born we planted a Magnolia Tree so he could have a little piece of New Orleans! I swear I almost cried when I came home and saw this.... The trees first blooms!

Maybe I should set the date on my camera. So it would have the correct date

Ice Cream Man

Ben always seems to hit new milestones when we are in New Orleans. This time was his first ice cream from the ice cream man! Me and Becky were bringing the boys outside when we heard the music. There is something about that music that makes you almost panic trying to find your wallet and having someone flag him down! Becky was like "You stop him and I will get the money" :)

Ben trying to learn how to get that good and messy eating an ice cream

That smile not only melts hearts but melts ice cream!

Goldfish are more filling

Slip N Slidin!!!

The Pool's OPEN

The Boisclair Swimming Pool is now OPEN! Yesterday Bo got home early from work and we had our first swim of the season :) I was worried Ben was going to be skiddish and clingy since it is a lot bigger than his bathtub. But he loved it! So hopefully we will have a little fish this summer! Sad part is he ONLY wanted DaDa to hold him. I would say "Ben can momma hold you?" And he would shake is head NO! I think he really missed Daddy why we were in New Orleans!

Bad Blogger

So I have been a terrible blogger lately. I was so busy with Ben's birthday and then we were in New Orleans for two weeks! We had a bunch of fun! I will start posting pictures. I am still waiting on birthday pictures. After uploading pictures I realize I didn't get one picture on my camera from his party so I have to get pictures from the grandparents!
