Breaks My Heart

This really hit home for me so I have to share it. It just breaks my heart that my children didn't get to have a relationship with their Daddy's parents.

Both of them wanted nothing more than to have grandkids. Not long after we had the Boss, Daddy's parents were both taken away rather suddenly within 3 months of each other. They adored him and I often think of how things would be if they were still here. They would be so proud. The Boss was given his nickname by his Paw Paw who from day 1 called him "The Boss". The Boss shed tears the last time we went to the cemetery because he wishes he knew them and could remember them. My Lady Bug will only know them through pictures and they will never have laid earthly eyes on her. It is always harder during the holiday season when you think of those you love who have passed on. To Maw Maw and Paw Paw Vige...You are greatly missed!

Happy Baptism Day!

November 13th is the Boss's Baptism Day. This year he had a pumpkin rice crispy treat to celebrate from his Auntie Shyra!

LSU vs BAMA

We enjoyed having some friends over to watch the LSU vs BAMA game. The Reno clan has two boys. B is a year younger than the Boss and their newest addition is just 2 weeks younger than the Lady Bug. It was great having them over. We enjoyed some yummy chicken and sausage gumbo. The boys enjoyed playing and the little ones had fun just hanging out and playing with toys and poking eachother. Here are two pics of the kids.

Aren't they too cute?
I know the boys don't look excited in this picture, but they were watching Transformers and it was late in the evening.

Happy Halloween from the Power Rangers!

Carnevil Costume Party

A couple of friends from the Rotary club and the Mardi Gras Krewe have a Halloween party every year. This was the first time we were able to make it. Granny volunteered to watch the kiddos while we went out for a bit. I have been sick all week with an ear infection so when Daddy asked for suggestions from a patient he suggested that I go as a sick girl and Daddy go as a Sudafed box. I thought a Kleenex box would be more appropriate. So here is a picture of our lovely costumes.
We had a good time. There were lots of good costumes but I think ours was the most interesting and got lots of compliments. Granny helped me make the logo and we put the box together. The hat was my creation.


At the party our friends had a great haunted house and they had everything decorated to the nines.
After we left there we stopped by another friends crib. She had just a few friends over hanging out. The ladies were talking and the boys were playing dominoes. It was a fun party too.

Royalty

I just had to share this picture! I was folding clothes in the Lady Bugs room while she was hanging out in the crib and the Boss was entertaining us. He decided that she needed a crown to make her look like the royalty she is. I think the picture is cute.
