Laissez Bon Temps Rouler!

The kids and I flew down to Louisiana to visit the kinfolks and escape the seemingly never-ending winter in Calgary. We made it down just in time for the cousins' spring break from school. And what a week it was! We had a fabulously fun time. Here are some highlights.
Poppy and Grammy with all the grandkids. What fun we all had! More to come.

Sweet Pea and Me

Momma's turn with the camera

Okay so this is bad of me but it's just so cute of the baby. If I weren't so close I could cut myself out like in the first one, but OH WELL! We like being close.

I love how she cuts her eyes to the side. She's so curious.

My mom likes these two, she says.

Grammy took some nice photos.

Momma and I took turns taking photos with the baby. I LOVE how these turned out.

Nothing to say but "precious"


Such fun

These are so sweet to me.

The Day Before We Left

Each time we visit Grammy and Poppy, a highlight is target shooting with a bb gun.


We thought there might not be time this visit, but Poppy stayed home a little longer Monday morning to make time.

Marking the "hits" on the target

The boys wanted a picture with Poppy and Scotch.

Scotch is a favorite part of the boys' visit.

More Time with Some of the Cousins

There was a trampoline

with a ball

lots of cute

and lots of leaves.

There was a train

full of fun.

And this handsome fella is my oldest nephew.

Frosties and Cousins

Pile 'em all in a corner and see what happens. . .

Where? Over there!


Oooh! They're all looking (sort of) straight ahead.

Look I've got a straw!

Give me your hand. Come on. It'll look nice in the photo.

Mamaw and Papaw

While in Louisiana, we spent a few nights with my grandparents. They were so sweet with the kids. It's a real treat for me and my kids to spend time with them.
