Hanging with the Pearce's

This year for the first time we stayed part of the Thanksgiving holiday in Doyline with my Dad's side of the family. The kids truly enjoyed themselves. They loved that they could just rome everywhere. Mason especially loved it! The kids got to go on a redneck hayride, build a bonfire and play with chickens!!!!Marke. driving his lawn mower with a wagon on the back with Halle, Mason, and Ashley.

it was so great being with all of my family this year for Thanksgiving. Because we all live in different parts of the country, it made even nicer to spend time with them!!Mark E. (brother) Mom, and myself

Mason was so tired Thanksgiving day that he just layed in the middle of the floor and fell asleep

A little Ava Time

We seem to be doing alot of things that are fun and intertaing for Mason lately (becuase he is the oldest and enjoys thing more). We decided that since my Dad, Josh and Mason were doing something together Aunt Candy, Mom, Ava, and my slef would take Ava to the Boardwalk. We road the Trolley (Choo Choo), road the carousel and walked around. She did great and loved it!!! Duckey and Ava in front of the fountain!

Glo Puttz!!

While in SHreveport for Thanksgiving, we took the kids to Glo Puttz (a neon indoor putt-putt). They just loved it and it gave them soemthing to do. Ava glowing...she wasn't that much interested in putt-putt. Who would of guess!!

Tailgating...LSU vs. TECH

So, it finally came the day for LSU to play tech! We went out to tailgate with Aunt Monica and Uncle Carlos's families...and of course the Huckabee's were all decked out in La Tech gear from top to bottom. They still let us hang around in our blue and red. I have to admit thought, the game was pretty close...Tech gave a LSU a run for their money!!!! Also, thanks to Corey, Josh and Mason were able to go to the game.
Mason and John playing right before Mason skinned up his knee!

John and Ava

Gus wanted some attention too...so he hoped on Brittany's lap

Daddy and Abby relaxing

As we were walking to go see Mike the Tiger we ran into Tech XX.

Mike was not in his cage so Aunt Heidi brought us to the next best thing...a stuffed tiger in the ticket office. Ava was too fond of this tiger1

Best Cousins!!!

End of the fall Seanson

Mason and Josh finished up the Fall season of soccer. They did great. It is amazing to see how better they get in a year. Mason really enjoyed this season and as the years go by I think he enjoys soccer even more. He can't wait for sping season to start...Josh too!!!

The Dragons

Bike Ride

Mason and I both got bikes for our birthday's this year and we decided since the weather was getting nice that we would go bike riding...just the two of us. We had a great time.

All Saint's Day

Mason started religion classes this year and for All Saints day they asked all the kids to dress up as there favorite Saint and sing some songs for the church. We decided that since Mason loves his doggy that he would dress up as St. Francis...the St. of Animals!

Halloween 09

For the 3rd year we went to Grand Point, La where some friends of ours family lives for Halloween. they throw a big party with Gumbo, Blackened fish, and trick or treating. The kids love it and so do the adults. This year Mason was Spiderman, Ava was a Kitty Cat, and Abby was a Lamb. Mason's pumpkin he carved Ava's pumpkin
