The Russo's

My mom was going to Huntsville for Mother's Day weekend, so we celebrated during week. We got our nails done and ate dinner at The Overpass Merchant. It was a good time, just missed Jen! I chose to do a family activity for my Mother's Day. We all went to see the movie, "Unsung Hero" in the theater.  It was a good movie and I'm glad we went even though my family is not crazy about going to the movies. I enjoyed it and the popcorn, candy and coke!  My kids have passed me up, I am now the shortest one in the family! I have loved watching them grow into young people and love being their mom 💕I am grateful for all these years at home with them because it is still going by so fast!   Breakfast at church was homemade cinnamon rolls Mrs. Angie, Jennifer and Cadie did a good job on their sharing in a panel type format We went to Raising Cane's for lunch (I sent a pic to Jen because she misses Cane's) Josh cooked hibachi at his Mom's house that night and it was...

The DDA dance recital was on Sunday May 5th at The Dunham School theater. Gianna was in all three showcases, but our tickets were for Showcase 1. She was in a lot more dances this year with her extra classes.  This was backstage at the rehearsal  Their dressing room was more like a closet, but they made it work Jazz - "Revolutionary"  Pointe - "When You Wish" She was so excited to dance on pointe and it's so pretty! Ballet- "Have Your Way" Grace and Gianna doing a jump  Grace celebrated her 10th year of dance  Tap- "Young" Ballet Elite- "I Can Only Imagine" Hip Hop - "King Jesus" Finale  We are so proud of her and all the hard work she put in this past year! I cried a few times watching her! So glad her and Grace are still doing it together  Some of their friends from class 

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
