Slaying the Dragon!

Gram took these pictures Saturday at Excalibur...Joel was slaying the dragon and saving the ladies...in the parking lot, of course.








He is so brave! My hero! :)

No Mom, I didn't have some gin in my juice!

Joel driving his truck. This was the first time he drove it....he definitely had the swerve going on!

3 years ago...

Happy Birthday Joel!

Amazing how much they grow.... This is the picture just before we came home from the hospital, and one we took a week ago on Sunday.

Joel's Party Weekend

We had a great party at Excalibur. Barry's Aunt and Uncle and family came in from Houma and Erath, Barry's Mom came in from Colorado, Kristin came in from New Orleans and Dan came in from DeRidder. We had a great time. It was so nice to see every one.

Here are some of the pics..

Joel's cake....it was gooood!

Joel's new spiderman bed. Mr. Mike built it and Mrs. Janice painted it. It is awesome! Mimi and Mrs. Janice & Mr. Jonathan got him the new bedroom set.


Joel in his big new truck! Thank you Gram!

My baby is almost 3!

My sweet little boy......he is so cute and so wonderful and I can not believe he is going to be three. I took this picture this afternoon after church. He is so handsome! He would be upset with you for telling him that. He says "No, I am cool!" He is sooooo wonderful!

Bicycle!

Today was a beautiful day. After his nap, Joel delivered birthday invitations via bicycle to some of our friends!

Cute Boy!

Happy New Year!


At first Joel was not very good at blowing the horn...then he became a professional. He had a great time!

Happy New Year!

I'll make another post about how wonderful last night was when I get time....we are about to drive over to Houma for the day to spend with Barry's Mother's family.

Anyway....NYE was wonderful. We had the most amazing dinner at Tujagues. We had the private dining room and use of the balcony to see the Gumbo pot drop and the fireworks from the river.

It was amazing!
