my boys

Like any proud momma, I just have to share pictures of my new baby with you.

how could you not love this face??

someone was happy to see his daddy when he got home

he loves him (and vice versa)

"i'll get 'cha!"

I'm so proud of both my beautiful boys. I love, love, love them.

sister's birthday

This past Thursday, November 19th, was my sister's 27th birthday (yeah, I am telling your age). We celebrated by having "shish-ka-bobs" for lunch after church on Sunday, topped off by Momma's famous Louisiana Yum-Yum for desert. The food was out of this world good, and it was such a good time with family and friends. I enjoyed every moment. I just wish that Aury could have been there with us, BUT he was working on obtaining my early Christmas present - of which I am so, so proud. If you are wondering what my present was, just scroll down a few posts :)

Here are some pictures from the weekend.

dad, of course, did all the grilling

the women in my life

I have been extremely blessed to always be surrounded by good, strong, beautiful women. I have learned so much from each one of them and am so very thankful to have them all in my life.

I love you all.

ace

Christmas came early for me this year! I had spent the weekend in Ringling with family to celebrate my sister's 27th birthday. I returned home to Ada last night, getting back around 6:30. Well, about 7:30 my wonderful boyfriend showed up with an even more wonderful present for me. An 8-week old, 2 and 1/2 pound miniature pinscher who instantly stole my heart. He is absolutely the cutest thing I have ever seen in this world, and so, so sweet. I fell in love at first sight. After much debate, we decided that his name would be "Ace". Perfect.

Thank you so, so much Aury. The lengths you will go to just to make me happy.

I love him and I love you!

Now we just have to get this little pee machine potty trained!

24

East Central's last football game was this past Saturday. Aury started at tight end and played a great game. East Central was down 27-0 at halftime but came back within a point in the last minutes of the game. An unsuccessful two-point conversion with only seconds left gave ECU their final loss of the season. However, it was by far the most exciting game this year! Aury caught a pass in the endzone late in the second quarter. They ruled it incomplete, but I was standing about 5-10 yards away and there was no way that ball touched the ground. Someone review the play already. Anyway, here are a few pics of #24.

Post-Game: Needless to say, someone was a little sore.

visitors

Last Friday just a little bit before 5 o'clock, a couple visitors showed up in my office.

It was Aury and his nephew, Cache.

Thanks guys for stopping by! You made the time fly!
