Big Sis loves her lil sis and is a great help. (Huh? Caroline actually was asleep in her crib--go figure-LOL!)

CRASH! he couldnt wait until I was finishing feeding caroline for his nap

Four Generation Picture!

Caroline was blessed on my mom's birthday

Richardson Egg Hunt 2009

Magnolia, MS

Um, it's his easter shirt-LOL!

Thanks Kory for taking our family pic!

Motherhood!

I would never trade a minute of my time with my kids. Even when my almost 2yr. makes the bathroom floor so slippery that I stub my once a year freshly pedicured big toe and then try to feed him dinner which he dumps all over the floor!

We have been busy but here are some pics of the kids. Caroline Elizabeth was blessed on Easter Sunday. She was a perfect baby during the blessing--no fuss at all!! We were blessed to be able to spend time with all our family (parents and siblings and nieces and nephews!) My grandma and aunt were able to come from Arkansas for the blessing, too!--THANKS!!

Annabelle gets out of school next Friday!! I am glad to have her home for the summer--even if it means all 3 lil ones 24/7!

Sweet Caroline!

Baby Caroline has arrived! February 17, 2009. She weighed in at 7lbs. 15 oz. (just like big sister & brother--what are the odds?) and she was 20 1/4in. Life is getting back on track. Annabelle is proud of her baby sister. Joseph is jealous of the attention she's getting but still loves her.

Pet Week

Annabelle's preschool class had a pet week/show n tell. She was so excited that she got to bring her dog, Ebony!

Halloween

A quick blog of Halloween night. Annabelle was a LSU Cheerleader and Joseph was a LSU Football player! GEAUX TIGERS! Above: Annabelle in her cheerleader pose.

Pumpkin Patch

Ok, so I uploaded the pictures about a week ago and didn't want to get behind so here goes a two week late blog of our trip to the Pumpkin Patch.

Annabelle had fun picking up pint size pumpkins.

Joseph had fun running around. Mom was relieved because she didn't have to chase after him too much because he wasn't going to "break" the pumpkins-LOL!

Annabelle's cousin Jack came with us, too.

And so did cousin's Mya, ALiyah, and Aunt Amy (not pictured)

Here is a smile from Jack because Annabelle stopped chasing him with a funky looking giurd!--Annabelle can be a tease! She gets it from her dad and my dad, POPS!

Summer Heat mostly gone in South Louisiana

Now that it is "Fall" the kids have been enjoying getting outdoors and riding their bikes! Joseph, however, has discovered that he can enjoy a free ride by hopping on the back of sister's tricycle and let her do the work.

Whenever I bring the camera out, Annabelle and Joseph of course instanly pose.

Their other favorite thing to do is take pictures of things by themselves. (Santa needs to bring them their own digital "kids" camera. ) Annabelle is proud of her tricycle. She is a master "pedaller" now! She didn't get a tricycle until she was three and it took her awhile to fully pedal the tricycle. (She is not very athleticlly inclined--she also just learned to jump off the ground with TWO feet!--she takes after her grandma pam--at least that is the joke in our family.)

Bye week withdrawls?!

Ok, maybe I am not actually having withdrawls with the Tigers not playing this week, but is gonna be a farily boring night without them on tonight. After at least 4 seasons, I finally got to geaux see my TIGERS play!

Shane and I and my friend Sharon and her hubby Jamin went to the big game against Miss St. Well, I guess it wasn't a Georgia, Florida, Auburn or Bama game, but it was still Saturday Night in DEATH VALLEY!

Great PIC! Three Nat'l Championship Flags-- with the newest one just last season!! Four military jets flew directly overhead before the start of this game. Always a NICE surprise. I saw and heard them coming but forgot to brace myself while standing. I had to clutch onto Shane. The poor little 8 year-old girl in front of us got really scared.

Needless to say, the TIGERS were victorious! A special thanks to Randy Bluth for the tickets.
