Blue Ribbon Camp at ASH

Kali attended the Blue Ribbon Camp this past week at the Academy of the Sacred Heart in Grand Coteau. She enjoyed all the wonderful activities like horse back riding, sports, learning camp songs and swimming a whole bunch. On Friday Erica and I drove up to Grand Coteau to watch the camper’s program being presented for the campers parents and friends. She was chosen Outstanding Camper and got a Taekwondo medal for her age group. Kali, we’re so very proud of you, you excel in everything that you do, you work hard and have a super attitude, you did a great job at camp!

Here Kali is singing with her friends for the parents presentation.

Kali and her friend Luke from SES were chosen as super campers! We’re so proud of you baby girl!!

The grounds of ASH is absolutely gorgeous, I couldn’t help capture a few shots of it as Erica and I were leaving after the morning program.

Destin-ation Vacation

Davey and Claire took the boys to Destin last week for a little vacation, they met up with some of their friends there. Adam went with them and they all had a fabulous time.

While they were there Claire took a few photos of the boys playing in the sand at the beach with Davey that I want to share here on my blog. We’ll be going to the beach in a few weeks with the boys and are really looking forward to it. Alex is in the green shorts and Eli the blue in these photos.

  They loved the sand… Eli wasn’t fond of being in the water but they both had a blast digging holes with their Daddy and Ian. I love their little sailor hats! Before they left I packed up some fun treats for them. An ice chest with berry snacks and juice, a bag of snacks for the road and a whole lot of sand toys. The boys were excited when they saw the surprise and really loved them!

I created all the little tags with Shabby Miss Jenn’s awesome new “Hawaiian Vacation” kit.

This is a layout I made with it featuring a photo from our trip to Perdido Key last summer. Claire and the twins at the beach for the day.

The Invitation

Just wanted to share the engagement party invitation, the pohto is from Kris & Zach’s engagement session at Avery Island’s Jungle Gardens.

Krista & Zach’s Engagement Party

We celebrated our oldest daughter Krista’s engagement to Zach with a party at our pond last night with lots of family and good friends. We had delicious food, yummy  beverages and a whole lot of excitement by the water. Thanks to everyone who came to make it a wonderful evening for Krista and Zach.

Staycation for Kali, Maddie and Ella

Kali and her cousins Maddie and Ella had a little Staycation in town on June first to kick off the summer. Kris (her mama) rented a room in town at one of the local hotels and they spent two days out by the pool, playing games and doing fun activities together. I stopped by at the beginning of the trip to drop off a little basket of goodies for Kali and her friends while she was out at the pool.

Ella, Kali and Maddie had a fun time on their Staycation!

Summer Library Reading

Kali went to the Library last week with Kayla, Riley and Anna Claire for Story Time. While she was there she got her very own library card. She loves reading and this is such a happy thing for her! Craft time is always fun for Kali. She made an alligator with movable mouth and tail and brought a color page home with another alligator on it.

Kali Checks Out Pop’s Plane

Kali went to the airport in Abbeville with Lolli and Pop to check out Pop’s plane for the first time a few weeks ago. I didn’t get the photos from Krista’s iPhone until last night. Here are a few photos of our girl Kali with the Cesna Skylane.

Kali’s ready for her first flight with Pop, I’m sure it will come one day very soon!

Story Time Layout

I created this little layout with photos from Alex and Eli’s trip to the Parish Library for Story Time in April using Shabby Miss Jenn Designs scrapbooking kit named “Batter Up”

We wanted to take them to Story Time today but it was gloomy and raining outside, hopefully next week will be nice and we can go there with Kali and the boys.
