NYE 2016

We spent a quiet evening at home. Well, besides the torrential rains and the fireworks, it was quiet. The kids played. Ben and I actually watched a movie. We all made it to midnight, and beyond!

Kissing 2016 goodbye, ready to see what 2017 has in store for our family...

Best 9 of 2016!

IG's best 9 of 2016...

Christmas with the Carltons

We celebrated Christmas with the Carltons and McMurrays today at our house!

 Ky and Ana...

 The boys...

 Ana with her water bottle...

 Cooper and his cologne...

 Love his baseball cross necklace...

 The girls with Baby Leo...

 Decatur, Brett and Cooper...

 The boys wanted their turn with Leo...

 The girls weren't having it and needed to be in the picture...

 Pops...

Opening his collage of pics of Leigh Ann, he lost all of his in the flood...

Happy 40th Ben!

It wasn't a trip to Vegas but it was a surprise dinner at 18 Steak at L'Auberge Casino! So glad he went along and we could pull it off!

 Happy Birthday my love...

 Fun night with great people...

 Me, Traci and Christi enjoying the band...

Love this man with all my being...

Fun with Cousins

The McMurrays made it to town! Decatur and Ana spent the night with me and the kids last night. Amanda and Brett headed to help at Mr. David's house today. The kids and I headed to play and eat at Barcadia.

 Love these kids...

We discussed the "Gates of LSU", they decided to have one foot on LSU campus and one foot outside...

Duck Hunting Trip

Ben, Corey and Steve headed to Pecan Island for a 2 day duck hunt. Ben got to spend his 40th birthday in the marsh, one of his favorite places.

They limited out by 9 am on their first morning (and this is the only picture I got)...

Bows, Bows and More Bows

Loving Ky's new bow holder...

These 2!

Sometimes they love each other, sometimes they hate each other. Tonight they played all through Cabela's while Ben tried to find some duck hunting gear. Playing is better than fighting. I'll take it...

Sing Movie

We have been waiting for Sing to come out for some time! Today was finally the day!

Apparently, we are going to have to wait even longer to eat at CPK. No food after an hour and a half...sorry gotta make it to our movie...

Popcorn and Icees instead. Movie was so cute!
