Jody's Going Away

We are in the middle of packing up for our move from North Dakota to Washington D.C. What a change that will be! Here are the last pictures I have taken before we head out...they are of Jody's going away. It was a blast! He had played the "waterboy", spoofing the Adam Sandler character at a couple functions last year so they really played it up at his going away!

Jody's Birthday Party!

For those of you unaware, Jody will be 40 on Sunday! His dad and stepmother threw him a party while we were still in Louisiana and here are some pics!

Fun in Baton Rouge!

We spent Memorial Day weekend with the Ogea's and NeeNee and PawPee in Baton Rouge. It was a weekend full of fun and sun in their pool and it was awesome! The "cousins" Maddy and Hannah had a blast putting on a "show" with Emily and Ramie, Aunt Nik Nik gave the girls cool haircuts and Pawpaw and Grandma even came by for a visit.

Wedding Weekend

Here is a pic of the mother of the groom, my Aunt Eva, and flower girls Gracie and Maggie. Our family at the wedding, Grandpa and Charlie, The Brooks with Charlie and my family in Welsh.

Joseph turns 15!

Joseph turned 15 while we were staying with Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Liz in Welsh. Everyone was in town for my cousin Derek's wedding. This is Charlie with Nanny Cathy, Joseph with his cake, Samuel with Charlie, Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Liz with their two grandsons and all our kids and Maddy and Hannah Ogea helping the rest of us get ready for a crawfish boil.

Paw Pee and Nee Nee's House

We had such a wonderful time visiting everyone in Louisiana! In fact, we saw so many relatives and did so many fun things it will take a few blog entries to cover it all! These are pics taken at Laura and Gil's. Uncle Bubba and Aunt Judy with Charlie, Gracie with her "fairy" Godmother, Alexandra. Emily and Charlie with Nee Nee on the swing, Maggie blowing bubbles, and Pawpee with Charlie. The weather was gorgeous and we already miss everyone!
