Life in the Best Household...

We are still alive...barely, but we're breathing. Spring football is over just in time for Billy to leave on Sunday for 2 weeks to go to California to go recruiting. We have had all the guys over once for dinner so far this semester. They hung out and played on the Wii and watched the new TV. They also helped Billy take the top off of my new (it's an '04, but it's new to me) jeep and helped us look for Boudreaux when he decided to take a tour of the town.

We are currently in the process of sanding down all of our dressers so that we can refinish them all the same color. Let's just say it is definitely a work in progress, but we are getting closer to being to a point where we can sand them one final time and then stain them. Once we get that finished we are going to embark upon making a one of a kind head board for our bed. I am super excited about it. Mom and I just got finished with our new bedspread. I forgot what it's like to make linens for a king size bed...definitely a two person job.

Rocky and Boudreaux are great. They both got their shots and check-ups in January and they are healthy as can be. Now if we could just break them of pooping in the house...anyone got any suggestions? They are always good for a laugh.

We had a great time in Colorado over Christmas and also at Billy's mom's for Easter. It was nice to get away for awhile. A little crazy as far as making such long trips in such small amounts of time, but we had a blast.

I can't believe that we've been married almost a year already. I'm kinda bummed b/c Billy will be in California for our anniversary, but he's missed all the other important days this year, so why not make it a clean sweep! :) Just part of being married to a football coach. Wouldn't trade it for the world most days.

Mom and I are making lots of head way on the scrapbooking. I am almost caught up on just random stuff that I already had printed off, which mind you is somewhere around 500 pictures. Still lots more to go, but making progress. I have got to get all of Billy's pictures from football season done, or before I know it next season is going to be here and I am going to be way behind.

I am on a mission to lose weight. I went to a Zumba class this morning at the Town Club and I have to say, that is the most fun I have had in a long time working out. Granted I am a white girl through and through and have no rhythm, but it was still a lot of fun.

We got a Wii and a new flat screen TV with part of our tax return and paid off debt with the rest of it. So far, Tiger Woods golf, bowling, and Guitar Hero are our favorite games. We have had lots of fun with it and it's a fun alternative to going to watch a movie.

I started playing in a Bunko group in January with a bunch of girls from church and a few other random girls. It has been such a blessing and has been so much fun! We are always guaranteed to have lots of laughs and it's been fun to see everyone's competitive side come out.

I guess that's about it. Not a lot has happened, but so much has happened in the last six months. Hopefully I will be better about updating on here. Enjoy!

Matt was super excited about his day ballooning! He and Ryan had all kinds of stories to tell.

Some of Billy's guys cramming themselves on my jeep I had had less that 12 hours!!!!

Most of the football wives hanging out at Ruby's one night

Boudreaux hanging out of the Jeep as usual...he always has to wear his seatbelt when the top is off or else he will bail out the side!

The boys playing in one of the creeks out at Palo Duro Canyon

Me after my first big bunko!!

Rain...

I remember as a kid knowing in my heart of hearts that when it rained God was crying because something bad had happened. As a 26 year old woman...or at least I like to think I've become a woman...that same thought was extremely comforting to me this morning. We hurt so bad for that precious little family and the rain was a comfort. I'm emotionally spent at this point, not knowing whether I actually have the strength to cry another tear or not. We hung around forever at work, not wanting to leave, but knowing things would be ever so different when we came back. This will be number 7 this year...Lord, when is it going to end? When are our babies going to actually get well? Thank you for the rain Jesus as a reminder that you do hurt with us and your mourn with us.

9-0!!!

The guys are 9-0 after last night and they are EXCITED!!! It's the first time in WT's history of having football that they have had a team go 9-0. Now if we can just get to 14-0 we'll have that National Championship!!! It was a good game in the sense that we didn't have any major injuries and a lot of our second string guys got some good playing time. It was cold though. I definitely have to find my gloves before next Saturday or it's not going to be pretty! For the after game party we had Chop Chop and I was in heaven. I love that place!

Today, once again, I am sick. We didn't go to church this morning b/c I was running a fever and I have a chest cold that I just can't seem to get rid of. I guess I am going to have to give in and go to the doctor and get some meds to kick this in the tail. Rocky and Boudreaux have been great today. They hung out with me in bed and then when I moved to the living room we all snuggled up in the blue chair.

Yesterday morning was the WT Women's Walk. It was a lot of fun. It was cold, but we all enjoyed it and the donuts at the end made it worth it.

Well, I gotta get off of here and get ready for work in case they decide to call me in tonight. I don't really want to go, but I guess I have to. Enjoy your Sunday afternoon!

We Survived!!!!

Well, we survived yet another night of cooking for the guys. It never ceases to amaze me at the amt. of food they can eat. I made chili and cornbread and cobbler for them. There wasn't hardly anything left when they left and we didn't even have all of them over here. If they had all come we would have run out of food I'm sure! Below is a picture of Billy and I after the ENMU game and then there is a picture of Billy with one of his players after that same game. It makes me laugh at how little Billy looks standing next to Floyd!

Crazy dogs!!!

So we have the goofiest dogs ever. I love them to death and they get more and more entertaining everyday. Last week I came home and they were bouncing off the walls. I just thought they were excited to see me. Little did I know that they had busted open some coke cans in the garage and had drank like 6 cokes. Let's just say that caffeine definitely hypes them up. Hopefully we have learned our lesson and will no longer be leaving the cokes on the floor in the garage.

On Sunday night it was super windy at our house. The boys' "apartment" happens to be the garage and when the wind blows it gets NOISY in there and they go nuts. So about 11:30 or so I went and got them and put them in bed with us. About 2:00 I felt Boudreaux get up and so I listened for him to see what he was going to do. Praise the Lord I cleaned toilets on Sunday b/c he went straight to the toilet in Billy's bathroom and started drinking the water. The funniest part though is watching him try to get to the water b/c he is so short.

I've posted their halloween pictures. They were surprisingly cooperative for it all! Until next time...

The Week in Review

So this was not such a good week. Work was emotionally draining beyond belief this week and then on Wed. we sat and worried about a player all day who was having a chest biopsy done. Thursday was crazy with all 25 of Billy's guys coming over for dinner...yes, it was nuts...then Friday mom and I scrapbooked all night and did it again Sat. until time for tailgating and the game. We had a lot of fun scrapping and I got several pages done. It was good to just hang out after the beginning of the week. Thursday night it looked like our house had been invaded by giants. Now I am not a small girl, and I felt as though I was a dwarf in my own house. Then to watch them consume spaghetti...lord have mercy...it was NUTS I tell ya!!! I was glad that I kept thinking big when I was buying stuff b/c it paid off in the end. There was NOTHING left by the time they were done. Billy and I neither one got to eat, but they loved it and we had fun so that's all that matters. Last night may have been the worst game of the season so far. We were FLAT from the get go. We won, but I don't know how. The final score was 36-3, but it was a lot closer than that...or at least it felt like it was. Luckily we didn't have any major injuries...just weird illnesses that keep popping up. First it's the weird chest mass on one of our big guys and then last night another one of them was complaining of chest pain and so he's having to have a stress test done today. It seems like if it's not one thing it's another. Somedays I just sit back and wonder...I know I said I would try to post pictures but I haven't downloaded them yet and I am on call tonight, so I need to go try and get a nap in before I have to go to work. Peace.
