Back tracking...

For the last 4 years, John has hosted a Crawfish Boil on Good Friday. The guys play golf in the early A.M., then John boils the crawfish. He has his own special blend of spices guaranteed to give you heartburn! We also boil plenty veggies like potatoes, corn, mushrooms, garlic, and cauliflower. Delicious!
I'm sure most of you saw these pics already on Facebook, but I wanted to post them here as well!

Spring time!

I am by no means a great gardener. I do not have a green thumb. These skills are reserved by my grandfather, Arthur Lee, and his children, including my mother. Most things I plant need to have "ignore" on their label to survive in my yard.
Houma is taking part in the Cleanest City Contest. We were instructed by the committee to clean up our yards. So before John took the weed-eater to everything in our yard, I snapped some pictures of our award winning thistle I was proudly ignoring in our front yard. It was waist high and made some pretty flowers.

Ok, so I thought it was pretty funny. I have great luck with weeds!! Haha!! I also have a few other plants that were blooming so I snapped some pics of them too.

My Confederate Jasmine. Smells WONDERFUL!
I planted it 2 years ago, I finally have flowers!

This is what my Mom calls a Bleeding Heart plant.

It's happy being ignored, growing up the side of my house.

This is the Bridal Wreath shrub growing wildly in my front yard.

It really needs to be trimmed back. But its happy!!

This is the wreath on my front door. My Mom made it.

I just think it's pretty....

Life of the Party

My brother's little 2 yr old daughter Lola is such the life of the party! She LOVES birthday parties. She sings very loudly and loves cake and ice cream. Well, like most kids, she REALLY likes the icing!!

My cousins Ashley and Michael had their bithday parties during March and these are a few pictures of them, my dad and Lola. Oh and Max the dog. Lola wanted to take him home.

TPC New Orleans

John played at Ellendale in a ProAm the other day. He made friends with his Pro, a young man named Justin Ahasic. Awesome person, very cool. They decided to go play a round at TPC in New Orleans the following Sunday. We also planned to go to a Hornets game that evening, so I was invited to tag along for the day. I LOVE the golf course. I think its so much fun just to ride along and enjoy the weather. I have gotten rather good at being a caddy. I have learned to read the course, tell John his distance to edge of green/pin, and even suggest a club. The wind was the tricky thing that day. Throws everything off! Justin brought another pro with us, and they played from the tips. Very impressive. John hung in there and did excellent!

These are some pictures from the golf course. The Zurich Classic will be held there in another week or so, and they have already begun to set up for the tournament.

Did I mention the giant lizards all around the course!!
