The Russo's

Gianna's birthday was on a Thursday. She opened up a small gift that morning- a new phone case Hudson was tricking her into a big gift, which was his mini bike wrapped up  We planned on bringing the kids to Airborne Extreme and then eating at Albasha's. Josh got Covid so I stayed home with him. Jennifer and the rest of the family took the kids to still have fun. Josh didn't have a bad case (headache and congestion) just felt bad that it was on her birthday.  They even had a cake for her. So glad she still got to celebrate! Josh took her to Waffle House for breakfast the next Friday morning The good thing is that her party was the next weekend and the sickness was over. She wanted to get a water slide again. After they set it up, we had a water leak. They had put a stake through the water line! Josh got it fixed and it was fine.  She requested Josh to make spaghetti  She wanted the Gentilly cake from Rouses  It was a nice (and hot) day celebrating with our famili...

Our first day of school was August 22, 2022. I got them a few new supplies and some donuts for the morning Hudson started 8th grade  Gianna started 6th grade  We are doing gardening lessons this year since we started our garden. I thought it would be interesting and we all could learn from it. They planted beans and broccoli seeds on August 24th in cups Nana & Papa hosted a Back to School breakfast on August 27th. They had a breakfast taco bar that was very good.  Nana had some fun games prepared for the kids  This pull a string game had a prize on the other end Gianna got the Hershey's bar  Hudson got the whip cream and put his face in it!  We are thankful to have Nana & Papa's support for homeschooling and planning fun events

Gianna started dance on August 9th We got our first cucumber from the garden We went to Chatawa, Mississippi for Kaden's 10th birthday. We drove up on Friday morning to meet them and stayed the night. We went tubing and kayaking down the Tangipahoa River.    Josh did the kayak because of his hip. I got an arm workout in the tube.  The kids did both  They played in this area where they could swim and slide We rode around the property on the 4 wheeler and side by sides. Josh was having way too much fun throwing dirt. I was holding on tight! We even did a night ride It was a nice time in the country and the kids had a blast
