Easter and Spring Break

On the Thursday before Easter we went to school for the Easter party and egg hunt. Gianna helped the moms hide the eggs. 
Off they went...
Each kid was to get 12 eggs and stop so it would be fair 
They were excited about the camo eggs!
Then we went to eat lunch in the cafeteria
We stayed for chapel where the third graders put on a skit
For worship, all the kids are welcome to come in the front and dance. Hudson and Gianna were right up in the mix. I was very proud of them! 
Gianna dancing with some girls from Hudson's class
On Good Friday we went to Nana & Papa's for a fish fry and some fishing
 
 Gianna isn't afraid to touch the fish- she wants to hold it 
We went to my mom's house on Saturday for an egg hunt and games.
Everyone got coins, candy and gift cards in their eggs

Hudson playing ring toss
Nana B got it while on Hudson's head!
they also did some crafts 
Josh boiled some crawfish and shrimp- they were very good! 
The kids played bean boozled and the adults took one turn each. Most people got a good jelly bean. It was funny to watch. 
Easter Sunday we went to church and then had lunch at the Russo's 
    
Then Hudson had the next week off of school. He wanted to go to the zoo. My sisters, nieces and nephew came along too.
 We rented a stroller for the younger girls, but it caused many arguments through out the day because they were all getting tired and wanted to ride in it

 We thought it was an otter feeding, but the otters only came out for a minute and went back to sleep. The kids were disappointed.

 They all liked brushing the goats 
 It was a very fun day!
We planted a vegetable garden in our back yard. Josh made the raised box last year and then it got too late to plant anything. 
 So, after tilling and letting the dirt dry out we were ready to plant. 
  We have jalapenos, bell peppers and tomatoes in plants. Then in seeds we did cucumbers, carrots, zucchini, spinach and lettuce. 
 The kids like to water and check on the plants. I think we are losing one bell pepper plant, but everything else is coming along. 
 Day 15 (zucchini) 
Kite fest was the Sunday before Hudson went back to school. The weather was perfect to be outside. 
 I bought Gianna a kite that week and it was destroyed in a few days. I thought there was a kite making station, but it looked like it cost so we didn't do it.
 Thankfully, Grace and Kaden shared their kites
 Hudson waiting in line to do a parachute race
They put a harness on him with a parachute that fills with air when you run
Of course, we had to visit the inflatable area 
 A man was doing bubbles with soap and they thought that was so fun. They chased bubbles all around the field. 
A fun afternoon with family

She did a great job! The ballet and pointe dances were so powerful and beautiful this year! I always get teary when I watch and this year was no different.  I volunteered on Sunday for the last showcase I was with a class next to Jules and got to watch some of her dances from back stage.  Gianna and Jules were both in this showcase, so my parents came to watch on Sunday A long weekend for the big girls, but they love doing it

February 2025

The girls had dress rehearsal for dance. I went on the Thursday class on the 6th. We got to see a preview of the dances.  Hudson had his first driving session on February 10th. He has to do 8 hours of driving with 2 hours being at night. I waited in the parking lot until he left. We did pretty good waiting while he was gone, but we kept checking Life 360. He said it was fine, I thought he was a little nervous. Afterward, he said it was no big deal. I guess we shouldn't be surprised, since he has been driving off road vehicles since he was young.  We spent Valentine's Day at home and made pizzas.  My birthday was on a Friday and I had work. Josh surprised me with an orchid for my desk.  I had lunch with some of my family at Albashas. Dillon was in town for something else and was able to come to lunch.  We celebrated our 19th anniversary by going to The little Big Cup in Arnaudville.  The food was really good. I had the crab cake and eggplant stack and Josh h...
