I picked the kids up from "school", and we immediately headed to the "playground" here at the apartments. Brennan and Addi enjoy the walk to and from the playground much more than the actual playground, because they love seeing how many cats or dogs they'll encounter along the way. Quite the animal lovers them two, well....until.. **Stay Tuned** :)
After a couple potty breaks, and walks to the slide (sorry, no pics CaCa forgot to grab her camera) Matt and I loaded the kids up in the car and headed to Posados for dinner. Yes, we're brave..taking the 2 and 4 year old's out in public!! A few chips, tortillas, grated cheese, sopapillas and honey, and a little ice cream later, we rushed back to throw the kids in the bath.
Uncle Mattie brushing out the tangles..she wanted him to do it! {On a side note, is she not the CUTEST thing you've ever seen??!! ;) }
..and bubba before the incident..
Sweet and innocent right, just lovin on Minnie.. WRONG! Minnie, or "Mean Minnie" as she's more commonly referred to, had another agenda..
and boy, did all H-E-double hockey sticks break loose after that!! Amazing that I was able to snap the actual incident on film at the exact moment!! What a fantastic blogger I am! :)
After a solid 15 minute melt down, and no exaggeration there..I was able to coax Brennan back into reality with a viewing of Madagascar 2!
Off to bed, and only FOUR or FIVE wakeup's later of, "CaCa I'm scared..Minnie's going to get me..Can I sleep with you" later, dawn arrived. ;)
Thursday was more of the same, with a little soccer practice thrown in the mix, and Dada welcomed his children home! Saturday bright and early, I headed over to Cody and Mel's to watch Addi, while Cody took Brennan to T-ball events.
I always enjoy my time with Brennan and Addi. At first it was only Brennan, and so he captured most of my heart. Even for much of Addi's first year, I was still all about Bubba. Lately though, I just can't get enough of that sweet little Addi. I don't know if it's the girl thing, or that she's the "baby", but Addi just melts my heart and she just loooves her CaCa! Saturday was extra special Addi/CaCa time. (I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact that she hasn't seen her momma in over a week ;) lol!) I just love the fact that kids are so unconditionally loving. It was like I was the only person alive. We played and rocked, and rocked some more. In those moments, it's hard to imagine she could EVER do wrong! I have faith, Matt and I will be good parents, and I look forward to the path that God has for us. I do have to admit after all my children banter, I have been getting a slight case of the baby fever these days..HOWEVER, that by no means, means that it's going to happen anytime soon! ;)
Today, I'm feeling a little under the weather, and enjoying a nice relaxing quite afternoon at home. Matt's off playing golf. I've got a roast in the crock pot, and I can't wait for some homemade mashed potatoes and a little fried squash for dinner with Oscar!! ;)
I hope everyone has a fantastic week ahead! I wish Mel safe travels home, before she's off AGAIN for a cruise to Mexico with one of her good friends! Sucks to be her right about now, huh?! :)
Until Next Time!
One of my very special charms! :) Holly on the other hand, has the ability to write incredibly 
So here's to you Smalls, I wish you such a fantastic day, on this day-your Birthday!
Beautiful, aren't they? I believe Valentine's Day is one of the only days of the year, that it is acceptable to buy these ridiculously overpriced, week long, petals of joy! Because after all, what girl doesn't love getting flowers every now and then?! 
Matt's V-day gift.. 
Aren't I creative?? What does my husband love more than golf??!! {trick question there people} After presents, Matt and I got cleaned up and set out for the beginning of our "Love Day". 
Afterwards, we began our trek east for the hour ride, for a few other places we love, only to run into this.. 
We can only gather a combination of a Saturday night, a Valentine's night, combined with, to our surprise a Mardi Gras parade on the river..ugh, was the cause for such congestion! So, about 20 minutes later than planned, we arrived here..
Can you please tell me again, why we love this place??!! Not a loving feeling came over me as we departed! ;) But, soon after we landed 
Yummy!! Matt and I, as you know, frequent Shreveport quite often, and we usually dine at The Saltgrass Steakhouse. Matt had been wanting to try The Bistro for a while, and the last time we went, we decided to try it out. I LOVE LOVE LOVE The Cheesecake Factory, and was skeptical to replace a good thing, but I was pleasantly surprised with The Bistro. The menu is almost identical, as is the look and feel of the restaurant, and it serves the same dish I dream about at The Factory..a chicken avocado club sandwich!! :) We got to the Boardwalk around 8:30, and put our name on the 
All in all, what a lovely day we had! I hope you too had just as an amazing Valentine's Day, and that we'd all be blessed with many more!
