Huntsville Trip

 Josh, the kids and I made a trip to see Jen. We left on Thursday, July 16th. It took us about 8 hours with stops. It was our first road trip in my new car. We went straight to their house to see them before we checked in our hotel.

We went to dinner that night at Stovehouse. It's an outside venue with several restaurants to pick from. They had live music and cornhole. 
It was pretty crowded, so we moved to an open spot with more games.
Saturday morning we met at Greenway Trail. They brought donuts and coffee.
We walked to the creek area and stayed there for a couple hours
The kids had the best time playing in the creek 
They all did the rope swing 
The girls collected clam shells 
The boys were catching crawfish 
Hudson caught some small fish that afternoon in their neighborhood pond. Josh cooked pastalaya for them that night and Todd's parents came. 
We went to church on Sunday morning and ate lunch at Chuy's 
That night, we went to an arcade
The kids played laser tag
Rode bumper cars and played some games 
Hudson and Gianna slept at their house that night
We went to a water park for our last day-Point Mallard 
It started out cloudy and a little rainy, but we took the chance and went. It worked out because not many people were there. 
They had a few big slides, lazy river and a wave pool. 
We all went on slides and it was really fun 







Both of the kids jumped off the diving boards, including the really high one!
It was a great trip and we loved being with them for a few days! It's always hard to leave and say goodbye.

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

She loves that cake and I have been wanting to make it for her. She loved it and cried. 

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...
