Daddy's Annual Golf Trip

Ben went on his annual Livingston Parish Ryder Cup golf trip this weekend. The guys always have lots of fun and many memories of the weekend. 

Cool rider...

Some views of the beautiful courses they played...

Mommy heads to NOLA

After I brought Kyleigh to Prairieville, I headed to New Orleans to meet up with the Jacobsens and Youngs. I have said every year that I will join them on this weekend but finally did it. We spent the afternoon uptown on Magazine street. Us girls shopped while the boys played then we met up for lunch at the Rum House. Yummy!

Best tacos ever...

Ky's sleepover with Linda and Glen

Kyleigh headed to the Ezell's on Saturday morning. She was so excited to being staying with them. Of course, because she gets ALL of the attention she wants! Every morning this week when I would get her out of bed, she would ask me if it was time to go to Linda's. So cute! She had so much fun! Thank you Aunt Linda and Uncle Glen!

Today is the day, she is ready to go...

Cooper goes to Monroe

This weekend had all of our family headed in different directions! Cooper went to stay the night at Pops and CC's house Friday night then rode with them to Monroe on Saturday for Decatur's birthday party. He stayed the night with Decatur then came back home on Sunday. First road trip for our boy without us. He loved every minute of it! Thanks Carlton Family!

Waiting for the Bouncy!

These two are patiently waiting for the bouncy to be set up. They are still in the pajamas but ready to jump. Too cute!!!

Fun Day in NOLA

Since I had the day off, I talked Cooper into skipping school and going to New Orleans for the day. It didn't take much convincing, he was excited, especially since Charlie was going with us. They are finished with their school work but don't offically get out until next Tuesday. Our first stop was the Insectarium.

 

The boys and I talked about eating a bug while we were driving to NOLA. Guess what they wanted to find first? You guessed it, the Bug Appetit.

Waxworms and Crickets...

Cooper is not scared...

Eating a cricket...

Charlie's turn to try one...

They went back for seconds (and thirds), ate bug cookies and bought more crickets in the gift shop. I tried ONE but that was enough for me...

In the love bug...
