And I Cried...

that was the theme of the weekend. Payton had her dance recital this weekend and I cried. 4 times to be exact. Both practices, the recital itself and when she was called on stage to receive an award for the hardest working in her class. And my extremely shy little girl, jumped off of her daddy's lap and went down the aisle, up the stairs and onstage to receive it. And I cried.

Her class was the sun princesses. They danced to "You are my Sunshine" and "I'm Walking On Sunshine".

It was quite possible the cutest thing ever. I could cry just thinking about it. ;)

So to say that Eric and I are proud of our 2 munchkins would be an understatement. Payton with her Hardest Worker award and Cameron with his Oustanding Tiger of the Year award. Sniff sniff.

Happy Wednesday that feels like Tuesday!! :)

Unbelievably Sad News...

And if you have a moment, watch this video about his daughters.

This Week = Insanity

**We had Cameron's end of school program today. They sang a song about making gumbo, then we went into their classroom where she handed out awards. He won: an artistic award, math award, reading award and tiger of the year for his class. I was a proud mama for sure. She picked 2 boys and 2 girls who did well academically and behavior wise.

**Today was also Payton's last dancing class. Her recital is this weekend, and I'm really excited about it. I think (or hope) that she might actually dance. They had a little end of year party today and we were late because of Cam's award presentation. She decided that she wants to take the summer session, so she'll be dancing through the summer.

**We had a tball game last night, pictures tonight and a game tomorrow night.

**All of our shows are ending this week. Except for Lost which has its finale next week. What will we do then??

**Cam's last day of school is Friday. I cannot believe that he is going to be a second grader already. Mind blowing. And when he starts, Payton will be in preschool 3 days a week. It's going to be some quiet around these parts.

**Happy Wednesday. Go David Cook!! ;)

On A Thursday...

This is what we woke up to. Well this and the power going out. Crazy weather this morning. All is well. We were out of power for about 3 hours or so. Cam doesn't have school because their power was out as well. There were apparently several tornadoes out and about this morning.
We have a palm tree up front that fell down, that was pretty much on it's last legs anyway, so we'll have to fix that, but that's about all. All I kept thinking about is that the power better be back on for Lost. Priorities, I know. LoL.

So I've been having phone issues. The main button went out that you have to click to do pretty much everything. So I called AT&T and had a new phone in about 27 hours, which was awesome. I transferred my videos to the computer so that I wouldn't lose them, so I wanted to share one. The quality is not great, but you get the gist. Happy Thursday, folks!

I Know I Know...

I'm pathetic with this blogging thing. May has been crazy busy thus far and is only going to get crazier. Weekend before last was our weekend at the beach with our friends Steve and Shaina. We went again this year without the kids. Seriously my favorite part is the eating out. Just to go out to dinner at whatever time and be able to sit there and carry on adult conversation without playing tic tac toe. Priceless. We missed the kids lots though and can't wait to go back to the beach with them in June.
This is Eric working out in the "gym". LoL. When he was on the machine, his head literally touched the ceiling. He still worked out on it. It was hilarious. I got on the treadmill and had maybe 3 inches between my head and the ceiling. Too funny


Once we got back, I took a field trip with Cameron to Vermilionville. It's a local place that shows you the Cajun way of life. It was fun. I'm pretty sure the adults found it more interesting than the kids.

We listened to some Cajun music and even had some Cajun Waltz and two step lessons. The kids were too funny when the instructor told the boys to go pick a partner. Cam lucked out since I was there. ;)

My May to do list is insane. The rest of this week alone we have teacher appreciation week, Mother's Day tea (at school), Payton's dancing and costume meeting, Tball game, cookie dough fundraiser pick up, eye doctor appointment, Mother's Day, tons of painting (back in full swing), oh and J your girlah challenge as well (I'm gonna get to it, I promise!!)

As well as in the coming weeks: volunteer appreciation breakfast for the room mothers, Cameron's fun day at school, yearly appt. (woohoo :P), little sister's college graduation, end of year ceremony for Cam's school, last day of school, Payton's dancing recital, memorial day and a host of tball games.

It's cool though, because that means June will be here before we know it which will bring our family vacay. And I'm already ready to go back to the beach! ;)
