The Russo's

The ladies from church attended the Flourish conference in Pearl River from April 18th-20th. Mom and I rode together and stayed at the Wingate in Slidell.  The theme this year was "Becoming" .Mrs. Angie shared in a main session on being vulnerable and it was really good. Jennifer was on a panel and she did very well also All the sessions were good and it was hard to decided which ones to go to. It was a great time with our ladies!  Hudson bought a trolling motor for his kayak and went to try it out at the camp pond  The horses like to see Camo when we walk 

 Hudson didn't want to do birthday breakfast this year. He wanted to go to Chuy's in Lafayette for dinner We went to Dick's after and he picked out a rod for his present His birthday was on Sunday. Papa sang to him and he got embarrassed He chose Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch We are getting closer to some big milestones! He is 5'10" and wearing size 11 shoes. He is a young man in so many ways. Not a fan of school, but he is very good at figuring out things and builds stuff. He works 10 plus hours a week at his job at the kennel. Of course he still loves to fish! Nana B had dinner at her house that night for him 

The 4H State archery competition was on April 13th in Shreveport. We went on Friday afternoon and stayed the night. We ate dinner with Uncle VJ and Aunt Mia at a Mexican restaurant. Gianna had an extra dance practice for recital and stayed back with Jennifer and Grace.  Saturday morning we went to Bass Pro and Hudson saw this pond by the parking garage and had to stop Kaden's flight was at noon and Hudson was at 1:30 pm The wind was blowing a good bit Both sets of grandparents came up Hudson said this is for all the family who couldn't come  Kaden placed in top 10  Hudson placed 14th, but we are still proud of him for competing
