I was tagged by my friend Ash to put the 4th picture in my 4th file on my blog.
It's funny that this is the picture because either Jon or Ash took this picture when we went skiing with them about two years ago. It's also funny because I have maybe a total of five pictures that actually have both Mike and I in them. Aren't we cute ski bunnies?
Now I tag Kristy, Erika, and Lindsay

SWEET Sugar Bowl

We were lucky enough to go to New Orleans and go to the Sugar Bowl. It was so awesome to be there for that win! Of course, though, I forgot to bring my camera to the game to capture those moments. We ate some really good food there even though I don't eat seafood. I decided to post my pictures of the tour that we took of the city. I realize the quality isn't great but it's interesting to see still.



This is a house in the Lower Ninth Ward that was
abandoned after Hurricane Katrina. It was eerie.


The white house has a FEMA trailor by it still. I assume
someone is living in it. Where you see the concrete is where
a house used to be. It was demolished after the hurricane
because it was unrepairable.


We drove past this sign on our tour. It was crazy that
the school is still not running (Notice the date).

In New Orleans they have above-ground cemetaries.

All the graves are like moseleums. The dead peoples' family

members are in charge of keeping up the grave. The water table there is really

high and so thats why they bury above ground. I don't blame them.

I would hate to see dead bodies floating after every rain storm.

Sorry for that visual.

Merry Late Christmas!




Cousin M and E were angels. Cousin G was a
shepard.

A picture of all of us. Dont mind the goofy looking guy
in the back :)


Aunt J helping everyone get ready.
Aunt J again since I accidentaly did two pictures of
the same thing.
So I realize that it is almost Feb., but I am a little slow so here are some Christmas pictures. On Chrismas Eve we went to my parents house for waffles and to act out the Nativity.

We love Diseyland!

E was able to get her hair done like a princess! She surprisingly sat still for the most part. She looked so adorable. She also got to get her face painted and a tiara to keep. She really enjoyed it! She really is a little princess (that is one of her nicknames.)
What is a princess without her prince? He got his face painted like a snake. That is probably one of his favorite animals, much to his Grandma's chagrin.

While we were waiting to get them all "royal" we got to see three princesses. We saw Aurora, Princess Minnie and Cinderella.

While we were there we got to have a "breakfast with Minnie" to celebrate B and E's cousin Alexandra's birthday. There were tons of caracters making the rounds while we ate. We got lots of fun pictures.



When we are at Disenyland we let our kids get something from World of Disney a few of the nights. B slowly collected Mickey shoes, hands and even some Mickey ears with his name on them. He was so proud.

If you can believe it B is just getting over the chicken pox! It was a long few days while he got over them. He was luckily happy as a clam through most of it. All I can say is thank goodness for vaccinations. He only had 10 or 15 spots as opposed to 100-200 that you would get if you weren't vaccinated. I didn't even know that he had them until they started to scab over. It was crazy!

We were lucky this year to be able to go pick pumpkins from Grandpa M's garden down at the shop. B and E had been sick so it was a good outing for them as they were just getting over strep throat. There were so many pumpkins! The kids had a hard time choosing which pumpkins to take home. Good thing we have a good sized front porch for those pumpkins!
