Two new tricks

Brady has learned two new tricks!

1. He can roll over! When he rolled over for the first time last week, I thought it was a fluke. But since he's done it twice since then, I think he's officially hit that milestone!

2. He can spit up and pee on me at the same time. Review exhibit A:

As I was getting ready to give B a bath last night, I got him naked and picked him up... when low-and-behold - I felt a warmth on my shoulder. Spit up. Nothing new. But then I felt a warmth on my stomach. Yup! He peed on me! I'm sure he'll enjoy seeing this picture when he gets older....

My beautiful niece

My niece, Lauren, is absolutely beautiful! This is her one year picture....

New Outfit

Our friends, the Welchs, gave Brady this cute monkey outfit at the "Sip and See" this summer (or as Papa - my dad - called it, the "Drink and Look"). Seeing Brady in overalls this morning made us all stop and adore this cute little boy! Dressing boys is fun, too!

Sunday Traditions

The LaPierre family has started our fall family tradition - Sunday afternoons and the NFL! When I hear that jingle on Fox, I know fall is here. You wouldn't know it from the temperatures outside, but hearing the football announcers and seeing my husband giddy tells me that it's that time of year.

Since Chris has another "man" in the house now, he has someone to share this sports passion with. So I decided this weekend that we would start a new tradition.

The girls can do crafts......

....and the boys can watch football!

But with Tom Brady's questionable status, the boys might have a rough season ahead! Stay tuned....

"Freckles and Cheese"

Kennedy says some of the funniest things. I try to remember to write them down and tonight, when we decided to order pizza for dinner - she said one of my FAVORITE things.

Mom: "Hey sweet pea - how about pizza for dinner?"

K: "Yeah! I looooove pizza! Can I have cheese pizza with freckles and cheese on top?"

Mom: "Of course!"

"Freckles and cheese" gets me every time. You know how cheese browns on top and it makes those slightly brown spots? To Kennedy, it looks like freckles. So every time we have pizza, she asks for cheese pizza with "freckles and cheese" on top.

No damage

We escaped any major damage from Hurricane Gustav. The brunt of it hit Baton Rouge, where my brother is right now - attending LSU. He is still without power. So is my other BFF Shelley and her fiance Rick. They are planning their wedding, so this storm did not have the best timing. But I guess there is no good time for a hurricane! My thoughts are with them and the rest of our neighbors to the south as they deal with the recovery.

Here are the blushing bride and her bridesmaids...

My BFF

I'm not sure how I would make it through my day-to-day job without my BFF. When our boss starts driving us crazy, we just get a little silly and then laugh it off. Once of those instances:Our husbands think we are nuts... but I think they learned to ignore our crazy behavior. So me and my BFF will continue to act like teenagers, make silly faces, and laugh at absolutely nothing. But isn't that what enjoying life is all about?
