Mardi Gras Parade


Happy Fat Tuesday everyone!  Around here I am dreaming in yellow, purple, and green this time of year because it is EVERYWHERE!  Mardi Gras is like bigger than Christmas here.  The schools have been out yesterday and today.  It's weird- but very fun.  Here we are at the Mardi Gras parade.  It was FREEZING, but worth it to see the lights, and get some beads and a moon pie!  

What are we doing in our PJ's at the Mardi Gras parade??  Staying out past our bed time!!!


This is a really bad picture, but I was trying to get the float, they were going super fast.

I have to say the very best thing about Mardi Gras is a Cinnamon King Cake!!!!

2 days before the twins arrived....
I am so thankful my Dad took this picture....to remind me what it felt like to hold two precious lives inside of me...

Be encouraged!

Lord fill my heart with Yours
that I may know Your will,
those things that I should act upon
and when you want me still.

Guard my mind from useless thoughts
that clutter, harm, confuse.
Create in me a closeness
that Your course I'll always choose.

Clear my hearing, teach me
to identify the lies,
that I may only hear the truth
of who I am in Christ.

Lord, satisfy and fill me
with Your Spirit from above,
that I may truly know the freedom
of Unfailing Love.

Then planted deeply in that love,
my heart in full surrender,
Lift the veil for all to see,
my life display Your splendor.


Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 16:11
