Fun Weekend

This past few days have been very exciting. My friend Holly had her twins on Friday and they are precious. Congrats to Holly and Stephen. Kevin and I had a date night on Friday night. We went to dinner and then we went shopping in the Promenade in Chenal. I went to DSW and found the greatest pair of boots. I am going to go back and get them tomorrow! We went home and watched a movie and I was asleep by 10! I guess I was sleepier than I thought. We woke up Saturday morning and went on our Saturday morning drive. We ended up going to see the movie Gamer....not my pick but it was ok! We came home and watched college football and Nascar! On Sunday we went to Sunday School and Church! We went to eat with some friends after church at Olive Garden (Kevin had never eaten there) isn't' that crazy??? I think he liked it! It is back to school and work for us this week. I hope it goes by fast. I am already ready for the weekend.

Oh I forgot to mention that we watched the VMA's...not the most wholesome TV program, but I love award shows. If you hadn't heard a certain someone who I refuse to speak of rushed the stage when one of my favorite singers Taylor swift won her award. It was pathetic and made my blood boil. I was glad to see that my husband was equally ticked. I think some of these Hollywood people really think that our world revolves around their opinions. Well, I hate to break it to him, but I could care less! Sorry I just needed to vent!

Can I Get a Whoo Pig...

This weekend was the first Razorback football game and it was here in Little Rock at War Memorial. I have always loved Little Rock game days. No offense to Fayetteville, but ever since I was little my dad and grandparents would take me to all the games. My Grandaddy was an usher and I thought that was big time! My Mama A said that means the girls go shopping and the guys go to the game. I always wanted to go to the games instead of shopping. My dad is a huge football fan and more than on occasion I have heard he was asked to settle down or leave when attending games. HAHA this is funny because my dad is so laid back and never gets worked up.

This weekend a bunch of us all met bright and early at US BANK by the mall so we could all be line so our tailgates would be together. Well, Kevin has a new ride and couldn't wait to tailgate from his tailgate....well, Captain Woody King (that's the trucks name) wouldn't start and I thought Kevin was going to just fall out and die right there on the spot. We got a jump and off we went. We all had so much fun together. I love to people watch and see what everyone is wearing. Wow! I didn't know shorts could be so short!! They left little to the imagination if you get my drift. My wonderful hubby decided he would be in charge of getting mine and Lindsey's food for the day and he so lovingly went to the store and when we got there we realized he got brauts and not hot dogs! Poor guy we don't eat brauts, so we had to steal hot dogs from other tailgates. He did try though! Lindsey was in town and got to go with us and that was so fun, I hadn't seen her awhile.

I can't wait till the next tailgate. I think Kevin and I are going to a Fayetteville game with our friends Tiffaney and Aaron next month so that should be fun. Hope you have a great week!!

Little Lily Katherine was born on Monday, August 31, 2009 at 3:35 pm. As you can see she is so precious. Emily ended up having to have a c-section because Lily's head we turned sideways. I was able to arrive at 3:15 and got to see Emily just before she was taken back to surgery. Lily came moments later. Kyle brought her back to the room and as you can see he is smitten from the start. I have never seen someone with such a big smile. Noah came up a little while later and was so excited to meet his new baby sister. I think Lily looks a lot like Noah did when we was born, but the jury is still out on who she looks like. Kevin and I have gone over to see her since they have been home and she is so alert and has really dark blue eyes. She doesn't cry when I am holding her, I think she loves me already. Kyle and Emily love take out so this week K and I took them their favorite Sr. Tequila's. I think that enjoyed it. Tonight I am going to see her again. I am riding with Holly to take dinner. Holly is having the twins on Friday so hopefully I will have a blog to right about them soon. Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend. GO HOGS!!! We had so much fun tailgating I will have to write a blog about that some other time!!

Ready for Babies!!!

Tomorrow one of my best friends Emily is having baby Lily. I can't wait to meet her. I have given Emily strict instructions to try to hold off till 3 so that I can be there the minute Lily arrives. I won't hold it against her if she can't! My other dear friend, Holly is about to have her twins, Gideon and Lizzy! I know she wishes that they were coming right this second, but hopefully it won't be much longer. She is beyond ready! All these babies coming is making me want to have one of my own, but we will just have to wait and see about that. I am praying that Lily, Gideon, and Lizzy all have safe arrivals! I know God has placed them in my friends for a reason and they are so blessed to have such wonderful mommies. Since I am an only child I consider myself an Aunt to my friends children. I am super excited about tomorrow! I hope everyone is having a great week! I will post another post about how my first full week of school has been! Until then happy Wednesday!

My 30th Birthday

This year for my birthday I wanted to do something that everyone could enjoy. I thought it would be a great idea to go to the Travelers game. We had a really good time and I enjoyed having my friends come and celebrate with me. Right before we got there my parents called to tell me that they at the last second after everyone had boarded the plane minus my parents the airline got a call and said mom had been approved. Isn't God Great!!! Here are a few pictures of the game...well I didn't really watch the game or know who won. Haha maybe we did!

Please Pray

My parents left yesterday for Southeast Asia on a Mission Trip. A little background story before I get to my request. My mom was supposed to be leaving yesterday for a mission trip to Pakistan, which she has been to once before, well, being the worrier that I am I didn't want her to go. I prayed and prayed that God would somehow not let her go. She would always tell me that being in a country that is at war in the center of God's will was much safer than in your house out of God's will. I believed her but I still wasn't comfortable about it. Well, God had a different plan. A few months back a group asked her and my dad to go to Southeast Asia, mom and dad prayed and prayed for what they should do. Low and behold the Pakistan trip was cancelled and they are headed to a different part of the world to do God's plan.

I on the other hand am a nervous wreck. Growing up as an only child my parents and I have been super close and I don't do well when they leave me. Yes, I know I am thirty years old today, and I have a husband, but my parents are my rock! So now for the request. Last night my parents called me from LA and according to the government of the place they are going mom's passport is not valid, due to it expiring in six months. They were not aware that you couldn't enter the country if your passport is 6 months from being expired. My dad will not leave my mom behind, so they had a decision to make. Do they trust in the Lord and just go and hope for the best or turn back. At 2am our time, they both loaded the plane for Hong Kong, and are trusting the Lord will get them there. My mom is the biggest prayer warrior I know and prays for everyone even if she doesn't know what she is praying about. I am praying for her that everything will work out. She said she didn't come this far to turn back. Please lift her up today if you get a chance. I know my mom can be a missionary anywhere even if it is in a airport. She just has that gift. The Lord has a plan and I trust in him.

Big Brother my thoughts so far......

This season of Big Brother has been very different. I am not sure how much I like the cast, but I will continue to watch. It usually takes me a little bit to get used to the new cast. This year is full of drama and they are really mean to each other. Let me just give you my favs and the ones that I just can't stand.

• Jeff is an athlete and he is really cute all American guy. I like him the best (however he has a potty month)
• Jordan is the blonde kinda dingy girl. I really like her too and Jeff likes her too.
• Casey is a 40 year old school teacher that is a dj at night I like him too. He is very funny.
• Jesse is the pinhead from last season who I personally can't stand he stares at himself in the mirror and talks about how everyone likes him and he is constantly annoying. NEEDS TO GO!
• Natalie is a little girl who told everyone she was 18 but really she is 24. I do not like her all. She is one of those girls who thinks she knows everything and everyone should listen to her. She is constantly with Jesse and sleeps in his bed. Mind you she has a boyfriend. Not too classy!
• Ronnie is a dork who is very smart and he is the rat of the house. He is playing everyone and I hope he gets kicked off soon.

Well I hope you enjoyed my BB11 recap! Have a great week. Summer is almost over!
