Each year they line up a list of celebrity waiters, led by “Head Waiter” Coach Les Miles.

Gordy Rush was emcee for the evening, and priceless items were displayed and auctioned off.

The BRCAC is a non-profit organization that provides services to child victims of sexual abuse. They offer a child-friendly setting for child interviews and on-going therapy, in addition to followup support for their non-offending caregivers. The overall goal of the BRCAC is to reduce any further trauma to the child; they do this by partnering with the various agencies that investigate, treat and prosecute child abuse cases. They serve East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge and Iberville Parishes.

This year we raised more than $75,000 compared to last years $25,000.

Before he goes though I’ve been meaning to post some much requested birthday party photos.

This party was amazing. January 19th and FREEZING. I’ll post pictures of the amazing project put together by my father and some great friends, but in the meantime these are the pretty ones. Since geaux is still dead (grrrr), I’ve not been able to post fun pics as much as I’d like. The only photo in this set not taken with my Rebel is the “loot” picture which was taken with my powershot SD800 simple point and shoot. I took about 100 pictures with both cameras.

So enjoy these photos but keep in mind that the night before this party I was STRESSING big time over the weather as I knew it was going to be FREEZING the next day. All it took was one distressed phone call to one caring father and the end result was an encased patio with heaters going, an inflatable inside, and about 20 VERY happy kids. The beer was flowin. Good times had by all. Again, these aren’t even the cream of the crop.

The loot. I think he did well this year…lol.

Thanks for looking. Fun pics coming after laptop hospital appointment.

I have some catching up to do…hopefully Henry’s birthday party pics will be next, but I’ve got a ton to go through first. For now here are some pictures I took for Laura, mom to her own sweet baby Henry and his brother Thomas from my Henry’s class. I took these the day of their fall picnic and shared them with Laura only recently.

Baby Henry. So cute. I saw him last week at school and he’s already so much bigger than this now! I got some pictures of him at the birthday party too. Honestly, this is the sweetest child. He’d just run up to me and hug me every second he got at the party just because!

Henry and Thomas going down the slide!

Love the PRECIOUS little girl in the background of this one.

Sweet Thomas!

LOVE the filters on this one. It came out so rustic looking.

This one was his idea. This tree was beautiful and he wanted to hug it. He screamed, “MAMA! Get this shot!” So freakin cute.

Nutria Rat.

This snake was right below us for several pictures. A couple of times I was rolling around in the grass snapping pictures and must have been 2 feet from this thing. Ugh. I freaked out of course then ran back to snap his picture…lol.

This is where it was.

I think he looks like me in this one.

This one was also his idea.

Henry loved the neat trees all over campus.
