Fast and Furious Feb!

February has been fun! It's been cold and rainy but it has been fun! It's been full of basketball! My Madelyn agreed to play...I was glad b/c this was the only time they could ever play together on the same team! However, she was more concerned about cheering than even touching the ball! She even had the bench chanting lets go green team! If you ask me, I think she was in it for the shoes!

Wyatt did really well. He would average about 2 shots per game! His dribbling improved a great deal as well as his defense! He didn't really like the fact that he played point guard at first, but then he decides it might be okay. He says it's kind of like Drew Brees...he decides who to pass the ball too!

We don't Mardi Gras much. The Parade at Children's Cottage is the extent to our Mardi Gras! However, the kids do enjoy the day off! The Jeep died at the last minute, so thanks to the Jones family for letting us borrow Elise's Corvette and a very BIG Thanks to Mrs. Tammy for helping us decorate! And, yes that's Daisy you see in the pics....this was Daisy's first parade! She did really well...she sat in Madelyn and Annabelle's lap and enjoyed the ride!

Another Sneaux Day! I think my kids have seen more snow in their 5 and 6 years of life than I have seen in my 32 years of life! CRAZY! Wyatt talks about a snow day from school like it's nothing! They enjoy it every time! This was Daisy's first snow! She's a big fan of crushed ice, in fact Madelyn taught her to sit with crushed ice....she just kept running all around eating it!

There's my Madelyn below...that's just how she rides...one pant leg up and one pant leg down! She's as carefree as they come! And, that's the last of the very cute umbrella that I found on sale. I accidentally ran over it that morning!

Later on that same night, we had a sleep over for the kids. It was Megyn's first time to spend the night with anyone at all, and she did wonderful. Her mom sent clothes, but she wore the Silvermist night gown nonstop!
And for those of you who don't know, Megyn and Madelyn were born on the same day! And they have both been petite since they were born, and yes, Megyn rides with one pant leg up and pant leg down too! Must have something to do with November 29th!

Very Cute Megyn and Madelyn story!

We're sitting at the bar eating supper and Madelyn says Mom, we got your Valentine's Day Present Today. Megyn says oh what is it, so Madelyn whispers in her ear and Megyn says with such excitement...it starts with a K and it has fire on top! So, I thought and thought and said I just don't know and Madelyn blurps out...It's a Candle...a pink one!

Here's the whole spend the night crew! We only had one mishap! Barrett and Wyatt were in his bunk bed. Wyatt was hanging on to the punching bag while standing in his bed and Barrett pushed him out said he was trying to help him fly! NO broken bones, so we're all good!

Then came Valentine's Day! I made their VDay cards this year. They drew a pic and then I did something with the pick. Dad helped Madelyn draw that Hello Kitty, but Wyatt drew that rocket all by himself!

The kids each had to decorate a box for school. Madelyn's school had a competition for the best box. She got 3rd place and she was excited to see her box on the special table! The bottom bowl opens to insert the cards.... just in case you're wondering!

Here's Mom's Secret Valentine's Day Garden! That's what the kids called it! They helped Dad plant the flowers for me. They all know Tulips are my favorite! I love it!

We enjoyed another LSU basketball game with the Macks this year! It was close one, LSU lost by 1 point!

And as we were walking out, the girls spotted a real cheerleader and she offered to take a pic! How Sweet!

I had to throw in another basketball pic right here of Wyatt. He studied the Tigers as they played ball! And, he also tuned in to ESPN to watch some basketball. The game following the Tiger Basketball trip, he announces that he has some secret moves for his ballgame, but he wouldn't share what they were. All during the game he's shooting from afar, he comes to sit down, Dad says son...drive in a little more to make the shot. He says, I'm trying to make a 3 pointer! I guess that was the secret move!

NEVER GIVE UP HOPE!

My Japanese Magnolia tree was my Valentine's Gift in 2006. 4 years later it finally decides to bloom! Woo Hoo! That deserved a picture on the blog!

It finally warmed up one day! Quick Trip to the Park! Some Picnic Memories!

I'll go ahead and Post a little from March. Since TeeBall is starting soon, I might be later than sooner on posting again!

We enjoyed Literacy Night (Shake Rattle and Read) at the Elementary School. Had to be a Huge Success! The Place was packed!

We closed Basketball Season with Trophies! Thanks to Amanda and Boo for doing a great job coaching!

Congrats to Wyatt for the major improvement from last year! Congrats to Miss Madelyn for trying the sport and sticking it out. She says, I don't really know how to play basketball, but I do know how to play tball. It just never clicked with her! But, she still showed up and continued to support her team!

Zoo Days with the Gauthier's We made a trip to the Lafayette Zoo! We've been going for years, but this was the first time we could all ride together...not car seat or stroller issues! If you haven't ever been, it's worth the ride!

And, there they are! Loving them so much, I had to post a pic! The biggest Crimson Red Washer and Dryer that I could find!

New Year, New Decade! Age 5 and Age 6

We started off the new year at the huntin camp! Not only was it a new year, but it was Madelyn's first time to go Huntin! She was so excited, she got up at 5:30AM, with no problem at all. Dad layered her up and even gave her some lucky huntin braids!

And, here goes her first hunting story. A 3 point came out, Derek said it came out 40 yards away, perfect range for her to shoot, but she said she didn't want to shoot it b/c she was waiting on a 100 point! Not a typo people, she said one hundred point!

Camou Kids at Triple Creek!
They love to play together at the camp. And, we love that they can just go and play, and we don't have to worry with them so much! NICE!

Yes, Madelyn has the pink pop gun that all the boys want!

Trip down to the Cowsar Camp

It was cold, but the kids enjoyed wandering around the creeks. We can't wait to go back to see the new camp!

Where's Wyatt!

I remember saying Where's Wyatt when he was 1 playing picaboo or hiding go seek!

Studio With NaNa Lucia!

Quick Madelyn story! Madelyn has a pink jacket with a peace sign on the back. Of course we lost it for the 10th time this year. I was describing to the lady at daycare. I said it's pink with a hood and it has a peace sign on the back... Madelyn chimes in and says Mom, that's not a peace sign that a pretzel! :)

Some of Wyatt's Kindergarten Drawings
He's doing so good in kindergarten. He's reading so well. He just loves it! Mrs. Betsy had to miss school a couple days. He says Mom, I don't want to go to school today b/c we have a sub and Mrs. Betsy won't be there! He just loves Mrs. Betsy! Madelyn says, Mom make sure and tell Mrs. Betsy that I got my shots so I can come to her class next year! Derek is like, Delana what is wrong with him, SUB days are the best...FREE Day!

LPR Basketball!

Madelyn's first year to play and Wyatt's 2nd year!

They are on the same team! Probably the first and last time that will happen.

I was glad it could happen once!

Madelyn ready for her first practice! She made a shot her very first practice! She starts hollering I made a Gold, I made a Gold!

Clowning at BBall Practice!

Wyatt went to the Albany Jr. High Girls Basketball Camp last year, and we were super impressed with the camp, and now we are super impressed with how much he learned from the camp. His dribbling skills are way better and I think it's b/c of that camp! He thought it was awesome b/c he learned to dribble 2 balls at the same time!

First Game! Feb 6th 2010

Wyatt played with all of his heart and soul....really focused and trying to do his best!

And Madelyn, cheered on the sidelines! She had the bench chanting

"Let's Go Green Team, Let's Go!"

First Game Story!

Wyatt went up for a rebound and came down on his elbow! He had to come out of the game for a bit. Before the coach could look up, Madelyn was out of the game too! She was crying. She was saying she got hurt on her knee, but she was crying b/c Wyatt was crying... That Bo-Bo on her knee was about a week old!
