Baby Shower # 1

Last weekend we had several really good friends host our first baby shower. It was such a nice time and we received so many wonderful gifts. We are so blessed to have so many friends and family to share in this time with us. Baby Olivia already has many toys, clothes and many other things due to some very giving friends and family. Thanks to Mrs. Glover for hosting the shower and Mrs. Hester, DeeDee, Natalie, Rebecca and Emilee for being so sweet and helping with this shower and to make this time extra special for us.

My mom, Aunt Cindy, and my sister, Amie were able to come from Memphis to go to the shower too. They were also my little elves for the weekend, which I greatly appreciated!

Maternity Pictures

Hays and I decided to document this pregnancy with some photos. We figured since it was our first pregnancy it would be nice to have something to remember it by since it has gone by soo quickly. One of Hays' photography friends that has a studio was able to take these for us. This is just a sneak peak, we don't want to bore y'all and show every one of them. I think they are so sweet and really capture what a special time this is for us.

Look Who Turned ONE!!!

Hays and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with many blessings. We were able to eat some really yummy food, spend time with all of our family, near and far away, and see old friends with their new babies. All in all it was a wonderful holiday and we are looking forward to Christmas.

Thanksgiving Day was extra special this year because we helped celebrate Wil Franklin's first birthday. He is Amberly and Matt's little boy. He had such a great time opening all of his toys and being able to eat his first piece of birthday cake (which he rather enjoyed). It was fun to see how excited he was. Children are such a blessing and help remind us the true meaning to laughter and life. Happy First Birthday Wil Franklin, none of us can believe that you are already ONE!

WHO DAT??!!

So Matt, Hays' brother, has been a Saints fan for many many years. A few years ago he called and was put on a list for a season ticket holder. Well, after many years of waiting, they called him this year and said they had four season tickets if he wanted to purchase them (supposedly there's thousands of people on the waiting list). Of course, Matt says heck yeah we want them! So all season they have been attending all of the Saints home games. What a season to become a season ticket holder (for those of you who don't keep up with pro-football, like me last season, the Saints are one of two teams that are undefeated).

So Amberly and I were lucky enough to be invited to the Monday night football game against the Patriots (we felt very honored:). We drove to New Orleans that afternoon and then drove back after the game. It was a great game and koodos to Matt for being a BIG fan of the Saints so we could all enjoy going to the games.
