Roll'n into Fayetteville

Jarred turned the big 3-0 last Wednesday and as one of his birthday presents from his parents, we went to the Bama @ Arkansas game in Fayetteville on Saturday. Ryleigh went back with my dad Friday afternoon to spend the weekend with MiMi and Papaw. Jarred and I had a date night for his birthday dinner at Longhorn. Saturday morning we woke up at 5:45am(!), left the house at about 6:30, picked up Rance, Elissa and Kadyn, got some McDonalds breakfast and were out of Shreveport by 7:00. We arrived in Fayetteville at about 1:00. The game started at 2:30. We were amongst some Bama fans, so that was nice. (but the hog calling was still annoying!) Bama didn't play well for most of the game, but they played well when it counted...the end! We were glad they pulled out the "W" and it was an exciting game. We grabbed some fast food and got on the road after 8...arriving back in Shreveport after 2:00am! It was a long, tiring day, but it was a lot of fun and we enjoyed celebrating Jarred's birthday! :)

Here are some pics from the game!

There we go, much better!

Ryleigh's 2nd Birthday - Part 2

Here are more pictures of Ryleigh's birthday party at Gymboree!

Ryleigh's 2nd Birthday - Part 1

It is hard to believe that our little girl turned 2 on Sunday!! We had Ryleigh's birthday party at Gymboree Play & Music from 10:00am-11:30am on Saturday. Ryleigh and 8 of her friends had a great time! It was nice to not have to worry with cleaning up before and after the party! :)
We were just glad that Jarred was able to join us...Friday he worked his regular work day, but had a situation with a juvenile that he had to work around the clock for. He ended up getting home at 7:30am Saturday after waking up at 5:30am Friday and not having any sleep! He was a trooper though and didn't complain one bit nor acted tired although we know he was!
Here are part 1 of the pictures...more to come!

Play Date

We had our friends, the Martino's, over last weekend for some grilling out and to let the girls play. We enjoyed visiting, eating some good food and, as always, laughing at the kids!
Here are some pics from the day!
