Look Who is Sitting UP

I love my new duck tub!!!

This is WAY more fun!

MB & Kanon's 1st Bath together

Of Course, He wanted in the Duck tub, too!

Mari Blake is 6 months old. I can't believe it. Where has the time gone? She is getting so big and beautiful. She started sitting up a few days after Christmas, so we decided it was time for the big girl tub. She LOVES it and so does her big brother! She just laughs and plays and gets so excited to be in the tub with Kanon(she ADORES him). They are so sweet and precious. We are having a blast. She went to see Dr. Denney for her 6 month checkup and 4 shots :(. She is 17 lbs and 12 oz and 26.5 inches long. He said he could tell she was much different than her brother because she is already into everything. A mess!! He said we are going to have our hands full with her in a few months(as if we don't already) . FUN TIMES!!!

Cotton Bowl- Ole Miss vs. Texas Tech

Me, Brandi & Lara

Steven , Me, Lara, Brandi & Ryan

Me & Steven so excited!!!

What a game!!! Ole Miss was not favored to win this one at all, but we pulled out the big win against a number 7 Texas Tech. I am huge die hard fan, so you can imagine how happy I am right now. My sweet husband(which ive converted to hotty toddys but he is a true nebraska fan-yes ole miss is 5-0 in bowl games vs. the Big 12 honey) took me to Dallas to see my rebels play, and it was one of the best trips ever. We had a blast! It was the 73rd Cotton Bowl, the last one to ever be played at that stadium, and the largest crowd ever(88,000 and something), a beautiful day, and a great day to be a rebel. We dominated practically the whole game! Cheers to my boys Jevan Snead, Dexter McCluster, Peria Jerry, Michael Oher, Greg Hardy, Marshay Green, Michael Wallace and of course my number one... HOUSTON NUTT!!! I love these guys! We will miss you seniors! What a season 9-4(and should have been better than that). Can't wait for the Ladies football forum and next season!! HOTTY TODDY!!!!!!

My Hotty Toddy Snowman

Today was a CRAZY day. It snowed several inches. Probably snowed more than I have seen in 10 years at least!! Mississippi weather... it was 70 on Tuesday and the high today was 34. It started with ice and then the snow came pouring down. We had so much fun (ok, i had more fun than anyone in my family- kanon was too cold, Steven wouldn't even go outside, and Mari Blake is too little to play in the snow) We played at our house first in our PJs(and coats) and then we went down the street to play with Katie and Luke. It was freezing but fun. Kanon wasn't loving it like me. He liked it at first but then he was ready to go inside and get warm ( i think he gets it from his daddy). We played for awhile and then went inside to warm up. Later on, I saw my neighbor and his wife building a snowman. I SO badly wanted one! I tried to make it bigger but my hands were freezing even with my gloves on. I love the snow, but I am a Mississippi girl. I couldn't take it, so he turned out small but cute!! It was a fun day! I heard on the news that it has snowed 3 times in MS this year... jan, march and now dec... hasn't happened in 45 years.

Visit with Santa

Kanon( 2 1/2) & Mari Blake(first Christmas-5 months) 2008
No big deal to MB... but big brother.
WHEW- Cried and would barely get close to Santa!

Kanon 2007- 20 months
not a huge fan but doesn't cry

Kanon's 1st Chrismas- 9 months
He doesn't love Santa but at least no tears

What a great experience this is every year!!! HAHA!! Steven and I took the kiddos to see Santa Claus today. So far, our experiences haven't been that bad. Kanon could really care less about him in the 2 previous years but not this year. He was so excited the whole way there. He kept saying "we going to see santa". He waved to him the whole time we were in line and said over and over "there he is... there is santa" BUT when it was our turn he wasn't too happy. He cried and kicked (sorry santa he is 2, and we are in the terrible 2's for sure!!!) and wouldn't sit in his lap. Mari Blake was just starring at him like WHAT? She just looked at us and was fine. Her big brother was causing a scene, but he finally sat in the chair beside him. We got this picture. It's pretty bad, but at least they were both looking at the camera. And of course, when we were leaving Kanon looked back and said Bye Santa and was happy as can be.

HOTTY TODDY!

Go REBELS!!!!!

Future Rebel QB

MB is so happy Ole Miss Won!

BRING ON THE EGG BOWL!!!

What a great day for the rebels!! We killed LSU 31-13 in Death Valley. I wish I could have been there, but I was home watching it in HD with my sweet Granny, my mom, Steven, Clay, Ryleigh and my babies. Ole Miss is getting better every game, and I am loving life right now! We held LSU to 39 rushing yards and Snead had a career day. YAY!!! Houston Nutt is a genius! Coach of the Year!! (He's got my vote!!) HOTTTTTY TODDDDY!!!

Proud Big Brother Kanon- "Hello Everyone"

In my jammies at dinner. What a great night!
Thanks family and friends for coming to see me dedicated!

Mari Blake was dedicated at Pinelake on November 14, 2008. She was so good and looked absolutely beautiful. She was dedicated with her cousin, Hogan and several friends, Logan Hall and Luke Wesson. We had a great night. Kanon was pretty good, but he did yell from our seat across the church...Pop, Mimo, everyone. He saw our whole family and got real excited.
