Homecoming Football Game

Friday night we went to the Crowley High School's homecoming football game. Kylee has always enjoyed going to the games with us every year, but is loving it even more this year. One of the guys from our church is a football player. She cheers for Jordan the whole time whether he is on the field or not! His family had some t-shirts made up with his number on it, so we got Kylee one. It was huge on her because they couldn't get everything on a t-shirt her size, so we rolled the sleeves, etc and made it fit her. Crowley didn't win the game on Friday night, but we still had a fun time. We also had three girls from our church who were on the homecoming court and one of them was crowned homecoming queen.

jersey off and was all sweaty, but Kylee didn't seem to care!

My coffee

I haven't had any weird food cravings, or dislikes for this pregnancy. I didn't have any when I was pregnant with Kylee either. The only thing that has been a little weird is that I haven't really wanted any coffee (decaf of course now that I'm pregnant) for the past few weeks. That's actually very weird for me. Anyway, I bought some more liquid creamer yesterday and am totally enjoying my coffee this morning. Yea!!! Oh, you need to try this creamer that's back for the coming holiday season. It's International Delight Pumpkin Pie Spice. So yummy.

Like mother like daughter

I told Kylee that she needed to take a bath tonight and she said, "Yeah, I need a bath. I look awful!" Hmmm......I think I've said that a few times before when I am going to take a shower in the morning! It's funny the things that they pick up. It makes me remember that she is watching everything that I do and say.

Women's Conference

Last weekend, our church hosted this year's Louisiana Christian Women's Seminar. The speaker was Connie Dietrich and the topic was Extreme Makeover. The day before, a few of us took Connie to the Acadian Village (It's a place where they've brought old houses, church, doctor's office, barn, etc. to the same place. It was very interesting to see how the Acadians used to live. I am so glad that I live now instead of then!

I didn't get any good pictures at the conference itself. Connie (God working through her!) did a superb job speaking, the decorations were absolutely beautiful, the worship was excellent, and all the laughter was the best! If you ever need someone to speak at a women's conference for you, I highly recommend her.


There was a building there where they recycle the Mardi Gras beads and also make things out of them. They had some fun masks there, also!

Princess dress-up

One day when Gracie was over last week, Kylee put on her flower girl dress from the wedding last November. I couldn't believe how much taller she is now! Gracie wanted to dress up like a "princess", too, so I found one of Kylee's old Easter dresses. Kylee found our corded phone that wasn't in use, and Gracie found one of Kylee's play cell phones. Supposedly, they were both talking to Gracie's mom. It was quite amusing.

Math 911 Call

I hadn't seen this before, but it is too cute. Enjoy!

Kylee's Announcement

Hurricane Gustav

When we thought that Gustav was going to be a category 4 when it hit, I decided that I didn't want to be around for the aftermath of no electricity, etc. Joshua needed to stay here, but Kylee and I drove to Montgomery, AL and stayed with some wonderful friends that we met while we were living in Biloxi, MS. Another friend and her kids also came there to get away from the hurricane. We had such a great time. The kids played and played. Us girls talked and laughed all day and late into the night! Since Gustav weakened so much, our electricity only ended up being off till Wednesday morning, so we were able to be home by Wednesday night. While we were in Montgomery, we were able to see some of the historical sites there. We actually only went to one museum, but stopped outside the others. Oh, and before we left, Ben let me drive his mini cooper. It is my most favorite car ever!! Now I really, really want one!

Joshua boarded up our windows.
