 Lake Trip 2012 in Louisiana!! 

We went on a nice 3 day weekend with my mom's 

family to the lake in Louisiana! My Memaw and Papaw 

Hogan where there along with Aunt Penny, Uncle Bruce, and 

Uncle Paul! My Papaw's brothers were there along with 

their wives too! We had such a fun time!

 Aunt Penny decided to fish off the dock and caught

some fish! She would get so excited about

the fish biting she would jump up and down!

 Ross and I decided to work on our tan on the dock! 

It was just lovely being on the water!

 Mom and Aunt Penny before dinner one evening!

We would have a big family dinner with all of Papaw's

brothers and tell our fish stories from that day!

 Papaw coming in to pick up Ross and I to go fishing! 

He drove a fast fishing boat!

 Ross caught a few fish and enjoyed being on the water with Papaw and I! 

He learned a few tricks from Papaw too! I helped him put

crickets on to bait the "big" fish!! haha!

I caught a few fish too!

 After church we all headed over to Cotton Patch for a nice family lunch!

 It was so much fun having both of our families there!

Nora invited everyone over to her house where

she had amazing desserts made and coffee ready for the men!

 Ross and Nora! Ross is so much like Nora it's funny!

 Knox and Auntie Jess!

 Tyler, Mom and I!

Knox and Uncle Ross!

We just love our little nephew if you can't tell

already! He is just adorable!! 

We really enjoyed Mother's day with

our families and cherish the time that 

we get to spend with them!
