Football Game

We went to the football game tonight between our team (Crowley Gents) and Notre Dame Pioneers (the catholic high school here in town). We didn't win (actually we lost really bad), but it was still a fun game especially for Kylee. She doesn't like the bleachers there because they have huge gaps and you feel like you are going to trip and fall through, but she decided she really wanted to go and see Jordan play in spite of the bad bleachers! The second half of the game, one of the girls in our church let her come down onto the field with her. Kylee had the greatest time ever. She was telling me on the way home that she had a lot of fun, but she had to be quiet and not talk because the guys had to concentrate! She also said that they were all sweaty and stinky! I had a hard time getting a good clear picture of her, so I ended up taking a video clip.

Here is a picture of Kylee and Jordan at the game last week.

Trunk or Treat '08

Last night was our church's annual Trunk or Treat. It was a fun night with music, devotional, costume contests, hamburger barbecue, and getting candy from the backs of people's decorated trunks of their vehicles. Kylee wanted to dress up as Uniqua from The Backyardigans, so I was able to put her outfit together for about $5. She loved it and it was nice and cozy. I planned on taking the dots off when she was done, but I think she wants them to stay on. As usual, my clever husband came up with a very creative idea for the trunk of his Geo Metro. He made it into the garbage truck and stood in the garbage can to hand out candy (he bleached out the garbage can before getting in it!!!).

Kylee and Mallory

Kylee and Jordan (her favorite football player!).

Kylee, Josh, & Me (I was the only one in our little family that didn't dress up! Oh wait, I was dressed up as a pregnant lady.)

Kylie Jo and Kylee Paige

Kylee with her candy and popcorn. The hand filled with popcorn ended up being her favorite piece of "candy" she got for the night. I was happy with that!

Joshua's car that you can barely see sticking out from the "garbage truck"

Joshua with his dump truck. He put the outfit together too. It was rather huge on him but turned out very realistic.

Maurices!!!

There is finally a Maurices in Lafayette. Yea! I went yesterday and used some gift cards and coupons that I hadn't been able to use yet. Even though I'm 5 months pregnant, I just had to get a pair of jeans and sweater. It's probably a good thing that I am pregnant, because if I wasn't I probably would have come out of the store with more than just one outfit!

My new nephew

For those of you who haven't seen my sister Christy's blog site I thought that I'd post a couple pictures of my precious nephew for you all to say ahhhhh over! Kade Aaron was born on October 15th at 7:14am. He had to come a month early, but God was watching over the little fellow and he is going to be going home soon (hopefully today). These are pictures from my sister's blog site. I didn't get to take them myself. :-( We don't get to see him until Christmas time.

Ultrasound!

I am 21 weeks pregnant now and I had my ulrasound on Friday. We are having a boy!!! His name will be Zane Curtis. We are all very excited (including Kylee). She was set on a sister until she saw some baby boy clothes that a friend gave me. Kylee said that they were cute and so it would be ok if the baby ended up being a little brother instead of a little sister. She talks about how she is going to get diapers for him when he needs changing and also is going to teach him how to talk! They gave us a DVD this time of the ultrasound. We didn't get that with Kylee so that was an unexpected surprise. Here are a couple of the ultrasound pictures of Zane. I also included a picture of me at 21 weeks since i actually have a baby bump now!

Making Bread

I was making bread today because I just had one slice of bread left! Kylee wanted to help so, I let her knead it at the end. She wasn't sure in the beginning if she was happy that the dough was all over her hands, but in the end decided that it was ok since it could all be washed off! My sister gave me a great recipe a little while ago and we have really enjoyed homemade bread. It isn't too hard to make either even though I don't have a Kitchen Aid yet. My mom used to make it all the time when we were young and we made it too at times, but I hadn't made any for myself until a few months ago. (oops! The picture is a little blurry. I didn't realize it until right now. oh well.)
