It's Raining Babies!!

Our family continues to grow and in the last two weeks Don and I found out we are expecting three new great nieces or nephews, two in the fall and one early next year. Don's nephew Bill and his wife, Marlene live in Seattle and are expecting their third child in October. My niece, Lorie and Chad are expecting their first child in November. Last but not least, my nephew, Mike and his wife, Karen, are expecting their first in Feburary. Congratulations!!!

Happy 80th Birthday, Aunt Jessie Mae

Last Sunday we attended a surprise birthday party for my Aunt Jessie Mae. We had a good time visit with everyone and it was a beautiful day for a party!

Slow News Week...

Sorry I did not update the blog sooner, but I have not taken any pictures lately other than Don barbequing the other night. It rained the entire weekend of Memorial Day and we just ran errands and hung around the house. The weather has been nice so far this week so Don has decided to go fishing tomorrow - I'll let you know how that works out for him!
One day they'll have a smlog and you'll be able to smell how delicious the aroma was in the yard.
How many times have we seen those dogs waiting patiently for a scrap. Don gives them little tidbits as he cooks and then they get a bone or two while we eat.
And last but not least, it's you know who suffering from a steak bone hangover...

A Busy Week!

Saturday we spent the afternoon celebrating Evelyn Trahan's graduation from Tulane University with a Bachelor of Science Degree cum laude!! Evelyn's sister Helen and I went to Kindergarten together and have remained friends through the years. Congratulations Evelyn. Their next family milestone is set for next May when Helen and her fiance Steve get married in Hawaii!!
Heading out to try his hand again at fishing. This time he had better luck and caught a few trout - he was happy about that!.

Fishing with the Family

Don, Ashley, and Douglas set out Wednesday morning for a day of fishing, the kids were hooking up the boat, he could just sit in the car with the A/C running and wait while they took care of it!

Well, we all know who doesn't have any patience. It wasn't long before he was out of the car sportin' that Unhappy Face! Whew, I'm glad he's looking at them and not me! And he only thought he was unhappy at 7:00 AM. He was certain about when he fished for six hours and caught NOTHING! I'm glad I was at work, I bet that wasn't a pleasant trip.
In case you didn't get a good look, here's a close up - Mr. Un-happ-ee! You see why I was glad he wasn't lookin' at me?

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

Tomorrow my mother and sisters will be over to relax, barbeque and enjoy Mother's Day. I am so thankful we can all be together for this celebration. I hope everyone has a Blessed Mother's Day.

He's ALWAYS Available for a Photo....

Don has been very camera shy lately so I haven't posted many photos of him. Unlike Don, Hooch is always willing to pose for the camera. I took this photo this morning as he did his favorite thing, watching me put on my makeup. He was actually closer than this, but I had to push him back a little to allow the camera to focus. Drew said he is getting an apartment soon...I told him to make sure they allow PETS...I'll gladly pay the damage deposit!!
Don didn't gripe about me taking this picture because of those little eyes peeking up over the table. He could not believe that Hooch wanted watermelon and refused to give it to him because Don thought Hooch would spit it out. Hmmmm, not likely. So far, the only food item he has refused is a banana...the watermelon was gone in a flash!
