Sorry!!!

Hey guys and gals! I'm so sorry that I haven't posted lately. My house has been ravaged by the dreaded virus. Lexie started on Monday and was still sick Wednesday morning. I started Wednesday morning. By 4:00 p.m. Wednesday, Brandon had Lexie in the E.R. getting fluids. I.V. and 2 1/2 bags and several hours later, she was slightly better. Still on the track to get normal. Then at midnight, Braden started throwing up. So, at 12:30, Brandon and I are scrubbing carpet and hopefully saving my comforter. Everyone seems to be better now, so hopefully I will get to blogging soon. Just say a little prayer that we can all get some much needed rest this Thanksgiving Break!

Okay, so here are my 7 random facts...
1.) I've realized that I am a complete reality tv show junkie. I just can't get enough of that stuff.
2.) I have been with my husband for over half of my life, sounds scary. We started dating in high school and have been together since.
3.) I love football, but I can't stand to watch it. It makes me so nervous, especially if I'm watching the team that Brandon's coaching.
4.) I absolutely can't stand anything that is creepy-crawly. I'm a total girl. Bugs, spiders, mice, lizards or snakes. Just gives me a full body shiver.
5.) I hate early mornings. I am a night-owl, always have been always will be.
6.) Most of the time I'm a very sacrastic person...even my young child has caught on to that.
7.) I have this passion for birthday parties. I love for them to be over the top, it stresses me out, but I love every minute.


I'm tagging Julie, Jana, Traci, Heather, Jennifer, Natalie & Nichole.

Halloween 08

We went to get treats and saw some friends; Ella, Presley, and AnnaLee. Brandon had a ballgame, so mom and dad came to help. I'm the obnoxious Bama Fan.

This is my mom, the "Blooming Idiot", hopefully you get the costume and realize that I'm not calling my mom names. Dad looks real happy in the background. His costume this year was a "Grumpy ole Bas$#@d". He didn't think that was a far stretch.

My Superheros

Mr. Incredible and Cyclone Girl

Halloween at school

Lexie had a little fun at school for Halloween. A "special snack" and a few games were played. It was really cute to watch the kids play "Musical Tombstones" and do the "Mummy Wrap". Lexie was the mummy and Maddi was wrapping her. She wore her halloween gear complete with her witch's hat. We were allowed to wear hats on Friday for a fundraiser.

Totally excited!!!

Well, I must admit that I'm totally excited about Halloween. Lexie has created her own "super-hero". She is using her costume from dance and it is so totally cute on her. And Braden is being Mr. Incredible. I'm thinking that I'm going to be "SuperMOM"!!! Really not much of a clothing change. Well, will post pics later. The kids are going to have to opportunities to wear those costumes. So Fun!!!!!

Just Talkin

The other night Braden was just talking and I had to capture it.

Amazing Grace!

At CRBC Lexie is in the Children's Creative Arts group. During camp this year the kiddos learned a drama to Amazing Grace (but a more contemporary version). We did this last Sunday night. I filmed the practice, because I had to help the kids during the actual performance. They did so good.

Pickin our Pumpkin!

We went to the pumpkin patch held by the local softball park on Saturday. The kids had a great time. They had the games like the old fall festivals used to have. They played go fish, pick the duck, ring the fishbowl and Braden shot a toy bow and arrow. They also played in a 2 moonwalks and slid down the giant slide.

My little football player

Right before football season started, someone gave Braden a football jersey to wear to the games. We tried to get his daddy's number from high school (#73), but they didn't have it. So we settled for 72 instead. He loves his jersey and wears it to every game. I just wish that he would let me get a good picture of him and Lexie together. Usually, he hides his face so that I can't. I think they are in a conspiracy against me.

Cheer Clinic

This past week Lexie went to the Cheer Clinic hosted by HHS. She cheered, tumbled and dance with the cheerleaders all week and then performed on Friday pre-game.

So close

Lexie is so close to having a back-handspring. We started cheernastics last September. Look how far she's come. Doing great!!!

Lexie's Baptism

As most of you read, Lexie got baptized Sunday. She was so excited and nervous. When we got upstairs, she kept shaking telling me that she was cold. I knew that it was nerves. She went in and Bro. Jimmy gave a good speech about Lexie. Then she went under...all she could talk about was how warm the water was. I'm so proud of her!!!
