Summertime Fun

We have been having so much fun this summer. Take a look....










Fun at Cypremort Point.


Our little farmers




Tristan had a blast a swimming lessons in June. He learned so fast and did an awesome job....We are so proud of our little fishy!

Good times with a good friend

Hillary Joubert came to visit us last weekend. We had a blast! Festivities included a crawfish boil, star-gazing with Tristan's high powered telescope, a trip to Avery Island, and lots of great pictures!

Isabelle's First Birthday Party

We had Isabelle's 1st birthday party on Friday...we cheated by 2 days, but we wanted to avoid the rain predicted for the 19th. We had an awesome day. Josh, Stacy, and the boys came from Baton Rouge to join us. Almost all of our family and friends were there. Izzy thoroughly enjoyed her day...Tristan had a great time, too. He kept saying, "I am having the most fun ever out there!" We rented a fun jump for the kids and that kept them very busy. They also played on the swing set and the kiddie roller coaster set up in the yard while the adults enjoyed yummy crawfish. The past year has flown by, I have been very sentimental remembering back to these days last year. Our lives have changed so much since Isabelle joined us and it has all been for the better. I can't imagine what we ever did without her! Thanks to everyone who helped make the day unforgetable.





Izzy's own cake that she ate very daintily..such a little lady!

Easter

Well, Easter is here and the weather is great! Belle will turn 1 next Sunday! She has perfected walking, and both she and her brother love to dig into everything. Tristan is enjoying his new fish, which he named "Catfish Obelix" after our late pet cat. The fish however, is not a catfish...it is a Siamese Fighting Fish. The Easter Bunny dropped some chocolate off for Tristan. Next year I think I will make rabbit stew out of the chocolate pushing bunny.

T-Ball!

Tristan loves T-Ball, and his team is scheduled to have 20 games this season. The games are funny and totally hilarious to watch. So here are a few pics of him in his uniform and playing ball!

Karate Kid (or Man)

Tristan has been taking karate lesson and they have recently started working on breaking boards. So, Doug decided that he would go and buy some boards and work with Tristan at home. On Friday afternoon Doug decided to give it a go. He was sucessful in breaking the board, unfortunately the board broke his hand in return. Here are the X-rays. You can see the pinky bone. It is called a boxer's fracture. The doctor compared the knuckle to a scoop of ice cream falling off of the cone. Doug has to go to the doctor on Monday and get the bone jammed back into place. ughh...glad it is not me! Then again, I don't chop boards in my spare time!
