Visiting our family in Drew!

While we were in Drew visiting, we stopped by and saw Traci, Ian and Caylie. Caylie loved feeding Luci and can't wait to "babysit" her!!

Mardi Gras Ball

We went to the Vicksburg Mardi Gras Ball on Saturday night. It was our first official outing since Luci arrived.
Jay was all in the Spirit!!
Our Entourage!! We were in the spirit too by the end of the night!! 

Happy Mardi Gras!!!!

Cooper's school had a Mardi Gras Parade on Friday morning. They were all so cute !!

Welcome Home Daddy!

We have had a very long week!!! Jay left for Atlanta early Tuesday morning. Luci immediately began missing him because she cried for two days straight! TWO WHOLE DAYS-ALL DAY AND NIGHT!!! I finally figured out that she has thrush and we got her some medicine.
On top of all that, we had Cooper's V-day party and John William's party and I did not even pick out valentines until Tuesday night around 6:00 p.m. So Mimi came over and helped with everyone so I could get that together. Miss Judy made great cookies and chocolate suckers for the boys classes!
Jay got home on Thursday night just in time for her to begin coughing and running fever!! She sounds so sad!! Even though she has a cough and cold, she was sweet last night for Jay! She snuggled up in his arms as soon as he came through the door. She is learning where her bread is buttered!! We are all glad he is home!!

Happy Valentines Day!!!

Cooper had a party at his school! Luci and I went and helped!!

John William Birthday-part 2

We had a bowling party for John William on Saturday and all his friends came. My camera's batteries went dead before we got to eat cake, so there aren't but a few pictures.

Happy 6th Birthday John William!!!

John William turned 6 today!!! I can not believe how big he is!! We had all the family over for hamburgers!! Miss Judy made a wonderful cake for him too!
This is his friend (and neighbor) Brandon. They are big buddies!!
We took pizza to school for his class for lunch. We may never get over this birthday. It has lasted all week.

Bubbs

I found this old picture of Daddy and Cooper when Cooper was about three months old. 

Better Bonnet?

We took Luci to church on Sunday morning and she made her big debut. However, she slept the whole time and the nursery ladies didn't even take her out of her car seat. I was so disappointed that she didn't get to show off her cute outfit! But she did better with this little bonnet.
I put the same outfit on her the next day when we went to see Gran Dow.
Typical girl..... You can see she doesn't like wearing the same thing twice! 

Super Bowl

We had a great time on Sunday for the Super Bowl! We had some friends over and Jay made a Gumbo that was out of this world. He has been making gumbo for about a year now and I think he has perfected it. (Thanks to Calvert for the recipe and all the tips!) Luci spent most of the Super Bowl like this-snuggled up with her blanket. My Aunt Nell made this blanket for her and she seems to love it!! And it is big enough for me to snuggle with her under it too!
