Visitors

Well we have been busy with Mardi Gras and visitors! Traci came down to visit in February for a week during Mardi Gras. We went to many parades and I have decided that next year one adult parade and one kid parade is all that I need. We bought a king cake and Carson got the baby. In case you don't know what a king cake is, it's a round cinnamon coffee cake covered in frosting and green,yellow, and purple sprinkles. There is a little plastic baby hidden in the middle of the cake. Whoever gets the baby buys the next cake. Carson still talks about how next year he has to buy the next cake. I think I only need one of those next year also!!! Mom and Ted came to visit in April. We went to the zoo, sat by the pool while the kids swam, and ate some of Nate's wonderful cooking. After they went home we had Jazz Fest two weekends in a row. Sugarland and Bon Jovi are a couple of bands that I knew that were playing. Jazz Fest is two full weekends of bands of all kind of music playing all day long. So you could go and see over 10 concerts a day.
We are now slowing down a little and school is almost done. May 13th we are done with school. Carson and do simple math and read. Cole is still plugging away on all the subjects. Nate's newest project is building a bar that looks like a lighthouse. They got the liquor license and should have the bar done in less than 10days. This summer they are going to start on the houseboats and condos which will be a timeshare thing. Always something to do around here! I am busy in the office and trying to keep everybody organized on what each day brings. I am waiting for a day that I can sleep in......not happening for many years at this rate!! For Mothers Day the plan is to go to the beach of the Gulf of Mexico.

One last addition I need to mention is our new little Princess Molly. She is a cocker spaniel. Cream colored and adorable when she isn't chewing my stuff!! So now our family is complete!
