Happy Un-birthday Michael!

Michael's 6th birthday falls exactly ONE week after the end of school. So, Mrs. Caillouet permitted him to celebrate a couple weeks early with his class. He choose key lime pies for his treat! Yum!

Fundraiser? We don't need no stinkin' fundraiser!

Does your kids' school do fundraisers out the wahzoo? Ours too!!

After a few bad fundraiser experiences, our family has sworn off participating in them. Sadly, our kids get to go to the same thrilling pep rallies pumping kids up to sell. The favorite prize is a limo ride to Outback Steakhouse for a certain number of items sold. Since we exclude our kids from the entire system, Kevin promised Hunter and Michael their own personal limo ride as compensation.

Kevin, along with two of his friends, rented a limo to pick the kids up from school and gallivant around town for two hours.


Exhibit A: Huntie just moments after spotting the limo in the school parking lot and seconds away from entering it for the first time ever.


Exhibit B: Total chaos and ecstasy among all children involved. Not sure if it's due more to BEING in the limo or being in the presence of so much free candy (note: blue tongues, etc.) and juice boxes.







Exhibit C: Riding alongside a full school bus in a limo. Coolness factor COMPLETE.



Exhibit D: Limo Surfing. A true phenomenon.


Exhibit E, F, G . . . etc.:









My 1920s Strong-girl

Does this not look like a 1920s strongman suit? Elle insisted her Dora swimsuit was to be worn bow in the front. I have to admit, this look is much more fantastic than I originally thought it would be.

It didn't take her long to correct her major-wedgie-causing error and turn the suit frontwards.

Huntie is Excellent


Huntie, Kevin and I did the 5K Run for Excellence in our town. Huntie set a goal of completing the entire race in 45 minutes. The first mile was tough, since Huntie's ambition flew her through the first hundred yards at super speed. She almost burnt out, but she slowed down and paced herself and made it across the finish line at 45 minutes and 35 seconds. YOOHOO!! Huntie's a racey girl! We are so proud of her!

A Groundbreaking Moment

Councilman Kevin Voisin helped break ground at the site for the new North Terrebonne Library. Notice his super shiny golden shovel. They painted it gold just moments before the shot after they realized they were one shovel short. LOL. You can tell it was actually used before. I think Kevin liked it even better that way.

His Huntie accompanied him and was the outstanding photographer for this shot - awesome, no?

Michael's First Lost Tooth!

Michael lost his first tooth!! He was ready to pull it out a few days prior to this, but held out for his dad to get back from a business trip to make the ceremonious yank. It was so loose, Kevin gave it one tug and it was out, before Michael even noticed. AWESOME!




The terror you see in his eyes was a reaction he was saving up to use for the actual pulling out affair, but since the tooth was SO loose, he didn't get a chance to use it. So, to not waste a perfectly good look of disgust, I give you the victory shot complete with tiny tooth. LOL.
