The Weekend

It was a busy weekend. The weather was so beautiful all weekend. We got a lot done out in the yard. Dalton had friends over and they played until they couldn't go anymore. Here's a few highlights from the weekend:


Here are the kids 'redneck surfing'...that's what Dalton calls it. We tie a board to the back of the golf cart and I pull them around through the field.









Here's a peek at the 6 month old cow, Tabasco, we were able to move him over into his new pen.










Dalton and Stuart playing in the woods...looking for hidden trails.









We found a nest of baby mice in the cow pen. It just amazed me why a mouse would deliver her babies under a board on the ground of the cow pen, when there is a 800 lb. cow hanging around...go figure!








We coaxed the big cow into the trailer and he's ready for slaughter today. Look at how he's peeking at us through the slats of the trailer. Do you suppose he is trying to make us feel guilty?







Dalton and his friend Stuart had a lot of fun chasing the chickens. You'll see them peeking in on them, trying to sneak up on them...Dalton finally got one!
















Then they went after the geese...You can see "Clyde" who his hiding from them, peeking through keeping a close eye on them. Then they found a nest of eggs. We're hoping "Bonnie" is paying close attention to them so that they will hatch into little geese one day .

Family Angel - Sara

Today, I thought I'd showcase our "Family Angel". Her name is Sara Elizabeth LeBlanc. She is my parents' only granddaughter, although they have already gone to heaven before she came into our lives. So they never had a chance to meet her, but I'm sure they are looking down over her. She was a late child of my sister Lizzy. Lizzy's only child, Steven, was 17 years old when Sara entered our lives on Valentine's Day...that made her even more special!!! I'll never forget the day Lizzy announced to us that she was going to have another baby...And I'll let you in on something...Lizzy was the one giving me daily fertility injections so I could get pregnant...and oops! she was the one that got pregnant!!!!! Go figure...

I took this photo of Sara while we were on a camping trip this past Halloween. Our cabin was on the pond and her and the other children were fishing. I managed to capture this shot of her and altered it a little on the computer (i added the angel wings).

She is just the sweetest little girl I know, and a very pretty one at that, and she looks a lot like our mother did as a child.

Dalton and Chelsea






Chelsea is the granddaughter of some very dear friends of ours. They came up for a visit on Saturday and Chelsea asked me when I was going to take some more "modeling pictures" of her. She loves the camera, and it shows in the photos. I had Dalton go take some of her while all the ladies were sitting around talking and eating crawfish (yum!yum!) and he did a pretty good job. I guess he does pay attention sometimes. haha. Nonetheless, I snapped some of Dalton and Chelsea together. You see, they were born the same exact day - - August 2, 1999. I was at Meadowcrest in Gretna, LA giving birth while her mother, Rita, was at West Jeff Hosp. in Marrero, LA giving birth. They were born within an hour or so of each other.
