Been to the 80's and back!

Well, we went to Baton Rouge this weekend for my brother's 40th birthday party. It was a surprise AND an 80's theme!!! I cannot even begin to explain how much fun was had by all! It's funny how after traveling down there on Friday afternoon and then "transforming" to our 80's selves, we started actually going back and thinking we were 16 again!!! It was awesome. Great to have my entire family there; great to see all the costumes everyone wore; great to see the HUGE smile on my parents' faces because all of their children were in one place having the time of their lives; great to know that I will have these wonderful memories of fun and love. Happy 40th Birthday Let; glad you had one so we could live it up!

FUN and NOT SO FUN

Well, had a great weekend. We were supposed to have family pictures made on Friday. Left work early, checked kids out of school, lady called and cancelled pictures (for the second time). Don't think I am going to try her again. Anyway, we all decided to go bowling. Fun, fun, fun!!! We had the best time and Chad and I even got a little competitive (he beat me!). Now, who could have told me that I wouldn't be able to WALK the next day? Obviously out of shape AND a spastic bowler (as I have heard from my husband and my kids). Anyway, we went to Lafayette on Sat. to the mall and that is the NOT SO FUN part. I love to shop, don't get me wrong, but not when all of America is at this one little mall. You could not have been able to tell that our economy is suffering if you were at the mall in Lafayette on Saturday! And how about those TIGERS!!! Came from behind in the 4th quarter to beat Troy. We are really great at rallying at the end. On Sunday, KK had to sing in the choir at church and then we came home and baked chocolate pie (yum), pecan pie for hubby (yuck), sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies. I think we were having a sweet fit. Or maybe cold weather and Thanksgiving put me in the mood to bake!!! The moral of this whole story is that I forgot my camera on my desk on Friday, soooo have no pictures of the way too FUN weekend! Maybe next time.
