4-H shooting regionals was held the week of March 17th. Hudson had archery on Tuesday.  He placed 4th in his category and was going to state! Josh was out there all week since he is a coach  Hudson had shot gun events on Friday and Saturday.  Coach Mr. Donald and team They pray before they start  Kaden made it to state in shotgun This was his first year shooting advanced shot gun and it was tougher, but we are proud of him for trying it.  Hudson finished his driver's ed class. He got a 98 on the driving portion.  We celebrated Josh's 45th birthday at his parent's house. His mom made lasagna.  The beans were an inside joke  I made him Granny Lois' lemon pound cake  We went to lunch for Jamie and Leilynn's birthdays at Building 5 I gave Jamie a kitchen towel with Granny's pound cake recipe. She loves that cake and I have been wanting to make it for her. She loved it and cried. 

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...

We signed Hudson up for driver's ed at Jennifer's Driving School. The classes were January 11, 12, 18 and 19th from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm. He had to have a TIP card before starting the class. It is hard for me to think that we are already here! I was tearing up in the DMV 😢 He did good in the classroom and passed the written test with an 80.  We had some really cold weather around the 15th with freezing temps. We put a warming light bulb in the chicken coop. One day our neighbor texts us that the coop is smoking. It was on fire! He put the fire out. The light had fell and was touching the wood. There was damage to one side, but were able to fix it and still use two nesting boxes.  what was left from the light  There was a chance of snow, but in Louisiana you never know what to expect. We woke up to a lot of snow on January 21st. We received 7 inches of snow! The temperature at it's lowest was 7 degrees. We had prolonged periods of subfreezing temps, so it was a rare event!...
