Fun Times in New Orleans

The beautiful New Orleans Scenery

Tom Brady (Whoa Mama!)

This was the ESPN sign I made but we never got on T.V. cause the Saints kicked our tail!

On Our way to see the Pats play! Too bad they got there butt handed to them on a platter!

Brian and I made a quick weekend trip to New Orleans just after Thanksgiving. We went to see the New England Patriots play the New Orleans Saints on Monday night Football. This was Brian's father's day and anniversary present. It was an amazing weekend. We had so much fun! We ate lots of fabulous food and suffered from tremendous bouts of indigestion, but we persevered! Our seats in the stadium were phenomenal. We were on the 26th row up from the field in the corner of the end zone. As you can see, from the picture above, we were able to see our favorite players REALLY well! It was so great getting to spend this quality time with my husband, which is not something we get to do very often since there are 2 little munchkins constantly needing our attention.

Indian Day

The Harmon Circle Indian Tribe

Mack, Landon, Gavin and Blake (Mack was mad because I was taking his picture)

My Little Indian! He told his Teacher that he didn't want to be an Indian. He wanted to be a Cowboy!

Mack attends Early Years Preschool. We are so blessed to have Ms. Rhonda. She teaches the kids so much and they have the best time there. Today was there Indian Day and Feast Day. They had bread, fruit, and popcorn for their feast and made their adorable little Indian outfits.

Tutus for Sale

I am making Tutus and they are precious! I have gotten several orders for the holidays and lots of great color ideas. I will try and post the pics of the tutus as I make different ones. You can contact me by cell 662-891-2029 or by email rutherford_landon@hotmail.com to order some for the little girls in your family. You can see them in person at the stoer "225" in Clarksdale. Ms. Dixie has been ever so nice to let me put one in her store. Hope you enjoy!

Mama Getting Ready for Some Football

Ashley Johnson & I attended the Ole Miss Ladies Forum in July and had a blast! I never knew learning about football could be so much fun. We are looking to add some ladies to our group for next year, so put it on your calendars! We got to meet the coaches & players. They taught us how to set up different plays and punt returns. It was super cool! My boys are really gonna think I'm awesome one day when I know all this cool football lingo that usually only guys throw around. Can't wait for next year! Let me hear a rebel yell! Hotty Totty! Go Rebels!

Cooper is 6 months

Pooper, as he is known around here, is getting to be such a big boy. He is rolling around everywhere, laughing at Mack's silly faces, sleeping through the night, and working hard on sitting up! He is such a joyful little thing. He just went for his 6 month check up and weighed 17 lbs 4 oz, and was 26 inches long. I can't believe how fast the time has passed and wish I could freeze every memory in my mind forever.

Having fun on the boat

We hung out at BaySprings Lake with the family yesterday. We had loads of fun! It was Cooper's first time on a boat and he loved it! He was sacked out asleep by the time the trip was over. It was Mack's first time on a boat that he will remember. The last time we took him out, he was only 13 months old, and he hated the life jacket and it took him a good long while to warm up to being in the water. WOW what a difference a year makes! That kid was all over the place. He was running to put his life jacket on, and we had to hold him back from jumping into the water before we got in! He was all smiles. We can't wait to go back!

Independence Day Vidoes

Here are some videos of my little Evil Kenevil yesterday at the lake. I am already thinking about all the broken bones and trips to the ER that we will be making in the future! He isn't scared of anything!!!!

Mack is so fearless. He just wants to do any and everything. As soon as the boat stopped in the middle of the lake he wanted to jump off the side. So we eventually pulled over to a little beach area and he jumped until his mommy's arms got tired and then he jumped until his daddy's arms got tired!

Mack wanted to ride the tube the minute we put it behind the boat. He called it a "race car". So Brian rode it with him. They had tons of fun! The video is bumpy, but it wasn't me it was the boat.
