Last night I attended my very first football game!! Go Lamar Raiders! It was alot of fun. There were beautiful cheerleaders, tough football players, a mascot, loud music, dancers, a marching band, and lots of people!! I loved it! My parents and I along with John Turner and his parents met at Chili's before the game and then we just copped-a-squat right smack down in the middle of the two sets of bleachers (like we owned the place) at the Lamar football game. There were tons of people there cheering the raiders on... and the Raiders Won!!! John Turner and I are obviously "good luck", looks like we will be going to all of the games now. My cousin Randy was there along with the Goodnights and sweet Lauryl. Mrs. Amy knew tons of students because she taught there before John Turner came along. My daddy knew alot of the older people there because as my mom says "Daddy was Mr. LHS back in his day"!! Haha, I love you Daddy!

My daddy really was a Lamar Raider so we had our picture in front of the Raider sign (the back of the baseball dugout). My mom and I had practiced cheers before we went to the game. My favorite one was "firecracker, firecracker-boom, boom, boom!!!" I see many more football games in my future.

Did you check out John Turner? He looked so cute in his Lamar Raider football jersey!

This is the Life!

Last Saturday, I went swimming for the very first time! Did I like it...that is still up for debate! The water was so COLD (nothing like my bath water)!! The idea of actually swimming in the water is not something I am particularly fond of! I do not want to put my head or face in the water and the whole splashing thing is soooo overrated! I prefer to just float around on my raft and soak up some rays (such a girl, I know!). I am more of a chiller! Taking it easy is so my style (at least at the pool). I will be headed to the beach September 24th (my mom is hoping I will maintain this whole chillaxin' attitude I have developed)! We will be staying at the Caribe with none other than the infamous John Turner and his parents. I am so excited!! Not quite sure how I feel about the whole beach thing yet...the idea of sand in my face, my mouth, my diaper, and many others isn't sounding too tempting yet! The Lazy River, on the other hand, sounds dreamy!

Hope everyone enjoyed their summer!

Goodbye Girls!

Kayla, AnneMarie, Erin

This weekend I was able to spend time with my cousins from Virginia (Erin Leigh, AnneMarie, and their sister Kayla)! This was my second time to meet them...the first was about 3 weekends ago. I love them so much! They are so much fun and look forward to visiting with them again (hopefully at Christmas). They left on Saturday afternoon headed back to Virginia. They will be starting school soon. Goodbye girls, I love you so much!

Happy Birthday Granny Poe!!

Me and Granny

Me, Momma, Nana, and Granny (4 Generations)

Thursday night I went to eat at the Hungry Heifer to celebrate my Granny Poe's 74th birthdayIt was so much fun getting to hang out with all the girls- Nana, Momma,Granny Poe, Aunt Russ, Sandra, Abby, and Mary Hope! They are a wild bunch of women!! I can't wait till I am a little bit older and can truely enjoy myself with them. There was alot of laughing and snickering which is always amusing to me, so of course I had to join in. I can only hope that when I have been on this earth 74 years (my granny knows exactly how many days) I will have as much spunk as my Granny. I look forward to spending alot more time with her. Happy Birthday Granny! I love you!

Let's get this Party Started!!

Getting ready for the rodeo

Saturday was a very eventful day for me. The day started off with a birthday party for my cousin Andrew at 10. It was alot of fun. I really enjoy getting to spend time with my all of cousins not to mention all the good food (wish my mom would have let me have more than bananas and pineapples)! Later, my mom and I went shopping. My prize was this cute little headband with the big purple flower. My daddy is not real fond of this prize but I like it.

Saturday evening, I had another date with none other than that precious John Turner! We went to the rodeo! How much fun... the music was loud, the animals were amazing, and great friends to enjoy the evening with. My favorite was the monkeys that were riding dogs and of course petting the horses. I can't wait to go back to the rodeo in April!!
