We sure had fun on Cinco de Mayo!

Ingrid Michaelson Concert

Went to an amazing concert last night at the Varsity Theater on LSU campus with our friends, the McBrides, to celebrate the end of Jacob's first year of law school. We were introduced to a new band, "Scars on 45" (whom I now LOVE and recommend a listen to), and got to sing along with the amazing Ingrid Michaelson for the rest of the concert. We had a blast, although our feet and backs were so tired by the end of the night. I guess we're not as young as we used to be!

Check out these awesome musicians!

Art Day Friday

Today Halle went to the "Art Day Friday" class with Miss Lindsay! She had a blast. They read books and painted and learned all about the Primary Colors. It was perfect for my almost-3-yr-old daughter. Lindsay makes learning about art really fun!

If you want to sign up for a class, they're only $10 each and you don't have to sign up for the full series. You can just pick and choose which days work best for you. I'm excited for Halle to go back next week!

Houston Trip

Jacob is in the middle of law school finals, so I took the kids for a short trip to Houston to get out of the way. It was wonderful. We did lots of swimming (and jumping) in the pool. Got lots of sun. Went on several walks. Had lots of quality time with the Egans. And Halle is brave enough now to leap into the pool with reckless abandon (as long as someone is there to catch her!). Made some great memories this week.

Jackson's Blessing Day

This past weekend, Jacob gave our new son a blessing. 

It was a wonderful day for us, surrounded by friends and family. 

Both sets of grandparents came to town, and we also

had cousins, siblings, nieces, nephews, and friends in attendance.

Here are some of the highlights that I remember from the blessing. 

He was blessed to:

Seek to do good

Have a soft heart

Have a strong bond with his mother

Be smart and healthy

Follow the example of his sister

Be a good example to his siblings

Know God

Have a strong testimony of the Gospel

Know of his Savior, Jesus Christ

We sure love this little boy! 

Easter Weekend

Last weekend, we went up to Pineville to spend Easter with the Huddlestons. Saturday was spent at Uncle Del's house for a crawfish boil. Halle had lots of fun watching the wiggly live crawfish, climbing on the tractor, and sneaking bites of birthday cake frosting. Jackson spent lots of time in the arms of his girl cousins and aunties. Jacob and I enjoyed the crawfish and the company. It was a hot, sunny, sweaty, fun Louisiana day.

Natalie and Halle are best friends. For real.

Natalie got some sweet smiles out of Jackson that afternoon. He is just the sweetest little chunk of a boy. My favorite part about when he smiles is that his eyes *twinkle* and squint up.

Then on Easter Sunday, we went to church with the family and enjoyed a nice meal at Grandma's house before we drove back to Baton Rouge. I love my little family. Life is so good right now.
