Blogging Leave of Absence

Sorry I have not posted in a while, we have been so busy lately. I have not even had my camera with me for the last 2 weeks. Things are going really well. Our churh is growing. We had a record attendance on Mother's Day, 51 people! God is really working at Acadian Baptist Church, thank you so much for the prayers!

My sister, Sommer, is flying in today for an extended weekend. I can not wait to go pick her up! We will be staying here in Louisiana today and going to church tomorrow morning. Then we are headed to Texas to see our Granny. I can not wait to spend time with my sister and Granny. That being said...pictures are soon to follow! I will not let so much time go by next time.

Trash Lady

We were cleaning up after Sunday evening church and we found Adeline digging in the trash. We had spaghetti noodles on the top of the trash and Adeline was helping herself to a nice after dinner snack. She is getting so big and getting into more and more mischief everyday. Emily has her work cut out for her daily!

Look what we have here...looks like dinner

Hmmm...I don't think anyone is wathing me, I think I will have a little taste

This is her going back for seconds, she likes what she tasted!

Crawfish Festival 2008

We went to the Crawfish Festival this past weekend in Breaux Bridge (pronounced Bro Bridge). We had a nice day. It was very hot that day, but not as humid as the norm. We planned to go on Friday evening, but it rained all night so we went Saturday afternoon. We got to see a Crawfish eating contest. We did not stay for the whole time, but they said last years winner ate 52 pounds of crawfish in 45 minutes! That is some serious peeling action going on! We looked at all the little shops and then we made our way over to the fair. Brandon, Michael and Adeline ate funnel cake while Emily and I rested on a bench. Emily is very pregnant right now and needed to rest every now and then. I am glad she was such a trooper on such a hot day! Overall, we had a good time despite the heat. Next up...The Shrimp and Petroleum Festival in September...Good Times!

Had to get a group shot of everyone!

They were selling frozen cheesecake dipped in chocolate...I could not resist!

I Love this picture of Emily and Adeline

Crawfish Eating Contest

Adeline wanted to see all of the action!

She is looking back at her Mommy and Daddy!

Notice the lady with the rain coat on...she has to wear that so the juice does not get on her clothes!

Here they go...

Ring of Fire!

Michael and Brandon decided they wanted to ride this ride. I think half of the reason they wanted to ride it was for the name alone, they both like Johnny Cash!

This is what the ride looked like, it slowly starts going upside down. No thank you!

They are almost upside down in this one...can you see Brandon holding onto the railing for dear life?

It is finally over, they look relieved

Michael looks so proud of himself in this picture. Yes, that is a Dunder Mifflin T-shirt. Everyone at the Festival made lots of comments about it!

Cajun Sno

There is this little shack in Lafayette called Cajun Sno, it has the best sno cones in town. We went there on Saturday after the festival. Emily has been craving a chocolate cream sno cone with cream on top. I thought it sounded discusting, but it was not that bad! If you look close, you can see the cream on top!

Brandon got wedding cake cream and Michael got a blackberry sno cone. Adeline LOVED them both, here they are seeing which one she will pick. She picked the Blackberry!

Mmmmm...Blackberry!
