FAT TUESDAY!!!!

Today is Fat Tuesday. Coming from Missouri, where New Orleans was only about 8 hours away, Scott & I were lucky enough to go to Mardi Gras a few times. It was truly amazing! Just the atmosphere down there is so much fun. Scotts brother, Mark, and his sister, Jana, have been to New Orleans with us. Once for a paintball tournament (which was played in the mud!)

The Things we Love about Mardi Gras and New Orleans:

1. The Parades

2. The Beads

3. Creole food

4. French Quarter

5. Beignets

Graison, Baylee, and Scott all wore beads today. We have a collection of the nice New Orleans beads, so they wanted to show the off to Idahoans who aren't quit sure what Mardi Gras is all about!

New Pics...

Scott was fooling around with a background and equipment so I took the opportunity to throw Graison and Baylee into a black shirt and have a few head shots taken. Graison has been asking for a new picture for his facebook, so good thing his dad is a photographer!! Just wanted to share them, and let you all see how "big" they are getting. I can't believe in 8 months Baylee will be out of Primary!!!

Finished Product....

I know I said I would post Baylee's finished pottery on Saturday...but well it's Thursday so just deal with it!!! haha Her bowl and saucer turned out awesome. When I went to pick it up, the lady asked if I painted it and I said no it was my daughter. She then asked how old she was and when I told her Baylee was 11 the lady said what an awesome job she did.
