Happy Good-bye to Mulberry

Hunter's grammy made a special cake at Hunter's request for her last day of school at Mulberry. It was, as usual, deliciously amazing. The deeply-colored blue frosting was the "icing on the cake." (and Huntie's teeth) You're only able to see a small section of the cake here, as her school class DEVOURED more than half of it in record time. We made quick work of the leftovers.

ConGRADUATIONs Grammy!

Thirty four years after her high school graduation, Sarah Elizabeth Theriot Voisin graduates from Nicholls State University Magna Cum Laude with her Bachelor of Arts in Music with a minor in English. WOOHOO!!

Councilman Kevin Sworn In

http://www.houmatoday.com/article/20090106/ARTICLES/901069930

The article begins, "HOUMA — With family by his side, the Terrebonne Parish Council’s newest member, Kevin Voisin of Houma, took the oath of office Monday." What a perfect start! Kevin was sworn in to office today by Terrebonne Clerk of Court Bobby Boudreaux at Houma's Government Tower.

Truly Kevin was surrounded by family and those who love him. Not were his loving wife and children there, but also his mother and father-in-law all the way from Texas, his grandpa Ernie, grandma JeanAnn, Papa Herbert, his mom and dad, sister Amy, nephew Dyami, sister Sally and brother-in-law Jason, nephew Chris, good friend and mentor Peter Bourgeois and his wife Betty, our ward friends the McElroys and our sister missionaries. That is in addition to many members of the council and several people from the community.

It was an inspiring time. Kevin's dad gave the invocation. Kevin shared his feelings in a short speech, as did several members of the council. Then the audience was invited to speak. Kevin's mom tearfully shared how proud she was of Kevin and how she knew he would do great things for the parish. Emily stood and echoed her mother-in-laws remarks and added her feelings about how Kevin is the right man for the job, but also that the council will play a great role in molding him into an even more effective leader. She talked about how the council will become a second family of sorts to Kevin and their family and the important things the Kevin will accomplish will be because of that council family.


Kevin's nephew Dyami boldly stood to say he was proud of his uncle. Then Huntie followed suit concluding the meeting with, "My dad ROCKS!"







At the end of the event, the local TV station interviewed Kevin too.

Lunchdate with Grammy and Papa

Ellie and mommy got to have a lunch date with grammy and papa. Ellie was such a mooch - and grammy and papa didn't mind one bit.

Mommy's Elle

I was helping grammy with a resume for a school assignment this afternoon and Elle was with us at grammy's house. Elle said to grammy while pointing to her ceiling, "That's grammy's fan!"

Grammy so lovingly said, "Yes! And you're grammy's Elle!"

Elle responded, "No. I'm MOMMY's Elle."

She sure is!

Michael's Gradumication

Mike was LAST on the list of graduates. Since everyone was asked to save their applause untill the end, he got a standing ovation. He was quite touched and could not contain his smile back to his seat. He has learned so much and is so ready for kindergarten. For his graduation performance, he sang many songs, one in French and another in American Sign Language. He was especially good at the rhythm songs. He never missed a beat.

Grammy was there to see Michael's special program and him receive his diploma.

Nana Jean Ann came for his special day too.

Michael and his buddy Joseph Roger.
