Louisana and more!

We took a Fugler girls road trip to Louisiana this past weekend to meet my cousin's new sweet baby. G and Daddy made it a guys weekend in Stephenville - he must have had fun because he was tuckered out!

Just a quick Griffin update:

• He is now almost 17 months old and BUSY.
• He is still talking non-stop and apparently is learning Spanish. I won't even try to spell the words he is saying, but he knows how to say WATER, LET'S GO, MILK, and CAT in Spanish. There is probably more, but I have no idea what he is saying :)
• He knows how to work us now because whenever he wants something he says PEASE, MOMMY or PEASE, DADDY. Nice boy - he already has manners :)
• Hans and I think he will be either an auto mechanic, a pilot, or a bus driver by how excited he gets when he sees a car, plane, or school bus. Either that or he will stalk Elmo because he loves that guy A LOT.
• He is such a big boy at school. When I pick him up, he runs the other way. Guess he likes it!

Now to Louisiana - this is my sweet cousin Stacy. She is getting married in June and just bought a precious house with her fiance, Hab. I love them, and we loved drinking some wine on Saturday!!
Meet Charlie Jon Barber - precious or what??
He is blessed to have such a sweet mommy and daddy! Jonathan and Aimee, thank you for letting us come see him! Griffin can't wait to play with sweet Charlie.


We are home now enjoying our Spring Break. I love being with Griffin so much, and we have tons planned. Pictures to come!

Remembering...

Eight years ago today, I lost my Dad. This day is never fun. Heck, February is NEVER fun, but I have been trying to find some answers and find some peace. Over the last few weeks, some things have happened that have made me realize that my Dad IS truly with me and my family all the time. We have many things to be grateful for this year. This is my hero - my Dad. The one thing that makes me so sad is him not being able to take Griffin fishing - I really believe they would be going every weekend.

And then I think of this - his two youngest grandsons having the time of their lives. I also believe that both boys are healthy, happy kids because they have a special angel on their side. How lucky are they?

I am so happy my family came over today so we can think of February 28th in a good way.

Thank you, Dad. You gave me such an amazing life. We love you and miss you.

Valentine's Weekend

We had a great weekend!

We went to my mom's to spend the day with her, my sister, and Keaton. The boys had so much fun - G loves his Kiki.









Griffin had so much fun with his Valentine's Day goodies - all Elmo! What else?? He loves him some Elmo!

We also went to a birthday party at the Children's Museum. G had a BLAST - we could barely keep up! He couldn't keep his attention on one thing long enough - there was so much to look at!

• We also went for our 15-month check-up. How cute is this picture?? He looks so big I could just cry. He is so stinkin' sweet.

• His stats - 28 lbs, 32 inches. Doc said he had a major growth spurt in his height - made me happy to know he has a chance at being tall. Hopefully, the height gene comes from his dad :)

• What else is he up to at 15 months? TALKING! I really don't know where his vocabulary comes from. He says EVERYTHING you do and more. He loves listing all his friends in his class as well as his teachers. I love when he says, "Hi, Mommy." This morning, we stopped and got him a breakfast treat before school, and after I gave it to him, he said, "Yay, Mommy." Ugh - melt my heart.

I am really not sure what I did before him. I love this little guy so much :)

Sesame Street and the Super Bowl!

We have had a busy weekend!

WHO DAT?

We are rooting for the Saints - Mom says we have to root for our peeps in La.

Heck, I've already partied on Bourbon Street - remember this?

This is one of my ladies - wooing her over some mac and cheese. Hey girl....

My cool cousin Keaton and I went to see Sesame Street Live.
We had to chat about our thoughts over the show. Elmo, Big Bird, and Cookie Monster? We give it a thumbs up!
I couldn't keep my eyes of the show. I was soooo excited that I jumped up and down for one hour straight. All I could say was WOW and HI to all my friends down on the Street.

I don't know what next weekend will hold, but if it's as cool as this one - sign me up!

A breakfast treat....

My mommy and her friend Rebecca had a FUN training to attend today, so before they had to go, they took me and my buddy, Lil' Marvin, out to breakfast!

Chillin' at Panera with our muffies. YUM!
CHEEEEEESE!
Yo, Lil' Marv, we should do this more often!

My friends!

We had sweet Caden's 1st birthday this weekend - Happy Birthday, friend!

This is G and Lil' Marvin. I work with M's mom - love her and all the

help she has given me in my new job!

You can pretty much call this guy G's BFF. They are in the same class at school, and I work with his daddy and love his mommy too! Now that G can say his name, he screams BRAXTON all day. It is nice to have a break from hearing ELMO or CHEESE all the time :)

Braxton wanted to really get inside this gift bag.

Lil Marvin and G-Funk checking out their party loot!
And the birthday boy - Caden. His sweet mommy hosted a great party. Love you, Miss Laura!

Daddy went hunting this weekend, so G and I had so much fun seeing our friends and hanging out. AND, my sweet baby boy slept in til almost 8 each day. THANKS, BUDDY!!

Geaux Saints!

Thanks to my awesome Uncle Bob, Aunt Melissa, and cousins Aimee and Stacy for my new shirt!

GEAUX SAINTS!
