March Activities

Gianna and I went with Jen and Jetta to the LSU gymnastics meet. We went once a few years ago and she has been wanting to go back.

They even got to meet gymnast, Ashleigh Gnat.

Leilynn wanted to go camping for her birthday and invited us to go. We were happy to use the camper somewhere besides the hunting camp.

We went to Bogue Chitto state park for the weekend.

The kids rode bikes and played ball.

Hudson rode his bike almost the whole time!

Happy 13th birthday to Leilynn!

Gianna is learning to ride her bike without training wheels. After the camping trip, she asked if Josh could take them off. She is doing pretty well, but needs more practice.

Josh broke his foot at soccer practice on March 23rd. He was showing the boys a move and his foot slid in his shoe and rolled.

He was on a crutches for a couple of weeks and is still in a boot.

They had one more week and finished the season

Celebrated the March birthdays at my mom's. Leilynn and Josh shared cookie cake.

Jamie had white cake

Gianna had dance pictures and chose her ballet costume.

I went to a ladies conference in Slidell with some church women. It's always good to get some encouragement and refreshing.

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.
