Audrey Camille Fontenot...7 lbs 10 oz 20 inches long

Enjoying the outdoors!

The weather has been so beautiful that we just can't stay indoors, especially Lexi. She LOVES being outside and playing with the animals. As you can see in the pics, poor little Natas doesn't stand a chance around her. She picks on him so much and does not let him eat out his bowl. She takes his food and he has to eat it off the ground. He is the sweetest dog ever and he is learning to love Lexi. She is growing so fast and I cherish days like this because I can see her have fun and learn about all the things around her. She is just so intelligent!!!! It blows my mind at times. I just love that little girl so much!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Stephie!!!!

Today is my good friend Stephanie's birthday. We were childhood friends that grew apart over the years and have recently became close again now that she lives in Lafayette. She is a beautiful girl inside and out and deserves this birthday wish. Unfortunately she has to work on her birthday but tomorrow we get to celebrate it. I love you Girl! Have a great day. I need some pics of you so I can attach it to this post. :) LOL I know you would love that!
