10.30.2012

October 30, 2012 was super eventful. Our family grew 4 feet in one day! My sister and brother-in-law welcomed their brand new and super cute baby boy, Eli. And a few hours later my cousin delivered her sweet Sydney. How crazy is that? Same day. Same hospital. Same doctor. So much excitement for one day! I think they learned to never schedule 2 Broussards at the same time cause there was a herd of about 15 people going back and forth in the hallways between the rooms.These little babies will not be short on love that is for sure. We are so blessed and absolutely love the new additions to the family. Congratulations to the new parents!
Pictured is little Eli, just as cute as can be! Oh goodness, love that little boy SO much!

Bravos wildcard match.

I was so happy when the braves got into the wildcard game. So happy.
I had much higher expectations than the actual result of their game against the cardinals today.
I am so sad that chipper is retired. So sad.

Athens trip.

A couple weekends ago we were able to spend a long weekend in Georgia. We always love our visits there and it is always wonderful hanging out with family and friends.

Friday afternoon we caught up with Kevin's brothers, Steven and Kyle for lunch at Team Biscuits and Burgers. I highly recommend it. It's a small little place with great service. Loved it.

Friday night we were able to go with family and friends to the Braves vs. Nationals game. I had to see Chipper Jones play one more time before he retires after this season.

Braves won and it was awesome!

Saturday we enjoyed game day and a lunch date with Doyle, Chels, and Miss Evie at Stuffed Burger. They put whatever you want inside your hamburger be it cheese, jalapenos, an egg, bacon, mushrooms. So good. That evening we enjoyed a cookout and football with Kevin's family, which is always a treat! And what would all this food be without a little dessert? Steven and Sharee had the great idea of grabbing fro yo to top off our calarie intake for the week.

 

We do other things besides eat. I promise.

 

Hope everyone is enjoying the fall

 and my most favorite time of the year!

Geaux Tigers!

Bree's wedding

This weekend we were able to attend one of my best friend's weddings. We are so happy for Bree and Devin and glad we were able to be part of their special day. Everything was beautiful including the two lovebirds. Congratulations Mr and Mrs Allen! Love you guys.

Isaac update

Lights still on and so is the gumbo.

Isaac

I know some of you may not even be the least bit worried about us but just in case you were I wanted to give you an update with this Tropical Storm/Hurricane Isaac. Right now it is to the East of us and all we will get is some wind and rain - nothing too bad. If it drifts more to the west, which lets hope it does not for NOLA's sake, we will get more winds and more rain. We are also ready if the electricity goes out for a few days. We shall keep you posted.
For today, we will enjoy the drop in temperature and the unusal cool breeze that we get with Isaac making his way toward land.

August Happenings

The first weekend in August we had a bridal shower for one of my best fiends, Bree. Her wedding theme is vintage, which we had fun decorating for. Some of the items - runners, teacups, and bowls - were my great grandmother's so it was so fun to use these little treasures that we have.

I also got brave and whipped up a cake. It wasn't too bad for taking a 3 year break.

My sister made the cutest little favors - flavored popcorn.

 This past weekend we volunteered for Games of Acadiana, which was absolutely amazing. It is a huge fundraiser that the Miles Perret Cancer Services put on every year (click here if you'd like to know about the organization). The mission of Miles Perret Cancer Services is to help families fight, survive, and live with cancer. My own family has benefited from this organization so the least we can do is to help them and our community with this huge event. It is great to see so many people sponser and participate. There was food, games, rock climbing, trampolines, face painting, everything. Absolutely loved, loved, loved this. We will definitely be participating next year.

Alaina bright and smiley at 7AM helping set up balloons before the event. She never complained the entire time and loved helping. 

About to open the doors for opening ceremoies. The picture does not do justice. Tons of booths, balloons, and games. There was also the convention center next door full on the 1st and 2nd floor with activities.

Alaina found her best friends in the face painting line - she was beyond estatic. Their paintings were awesome!

So far August has been a lot of fun and we are booked up every single weekend in September and October so there will be more posts coming!
