Mardi Gras Ice Cream

You have to try this awesome ice cream.  It is my favorite!  They only sell it during Mardi Gras and only certain grocery stores carry it.  This past week on our grocery trip to Kroger we found it and got two half gallons!  We have to stock up.  It is soooooo good.

Scout's Limelight

Since we get this sense from Scout that he always feels left out and unloved.  I thought that he sdould get some time to shine on our family blog too.

Here he is stealing the thunder from Syd.

We are working on some new poses, he usually sticks to the same face.



How can anyone say no to this cute face?  We love our Scout.

Stephen's Nintendo Partner


Stephen found another warm body to watch him play Madden Football.  Do you see her?

There she is, our little Sydnee.

 She got a little pooped after all that football.  Haha, we couldn't help but let her stay there for a bit, she looked so comfy.

Mardi Gras is just around the corner.

Mardi Gras is in the air at 144 Grand Lakes Boulevard or at least on our front door. I put together a festive wreath for the season.

Papa Dave is getting Old...


To celebrate his 57th birthday we brought my dad and mom to Copeland's for brunch the sunday before the big day.  Then we all surprised him at Outback for dinner with some old friends.

Columbia Visit

Stephen and I decided it was time to head up to Columbia to see Ricky and Natalie's house.  They are doing so much work to it.  It will look great when they are all done.  We went out to eat at the mexican restaurant and I found out that their gold margarita is yummy.  Thanks for the recommendation Natalie:)

Stephen thought he would try out a scarf.

After dinner we went to the Parish Line, formerly known as the Lamplighter.  We had blast dancing and hanging out.

A New Year's Christmas

Celebrating Christmas with children is always a bit more exciting than when everyone in the room is over the age of 25. They get as excited about unwrapping the present as discovering the goodies inside. Brianne, needless to say, is a child with infectious excitement and energy nearly every day of the year but especially on the day she gets to open presents and get attention from the entire family, most importantly Peanut. New years day we went over to Aunt Sandy’s House and had an evening of New Year’s champagne toasts, Christmas presents, and watching Brianne entertain us.
