Picture Day




I must say that Kylie was pretty cute for her pictures. She of course insisted on wearing her "T" necklace that grandmamma bought her while she was here to keep us from having to buy a High School Musical halloween costume. She finally decided on a witch after a great search for the perfect costume. Of course I only think she chose that costume after we told her she could decorate it with glitter glue. Grandmamma got to help with that too. So Avery is going to be a black cat to go with her sisters witch costume. We all went to fall festival on thursday night after gynmastics and Kylie even dunked her pricipal in the dunking booth. She was so excited that she dunked her pricipal and did it all by herself. Her daddy said that's his girl when she called to tell him. We had a busy chaotic week and we love grandmamma for being here to help out while Brett is gone.

Friday Night Football Panther Style
















The Benton Panthers took on the Texarkana hogs at home. Kylie got to cheer in her first football game and Brett, Avery, and I were there to cheer her on. She was so cute in her maroon cheerleader skirt and paw print earrings. Watching the girls was pretty cute. I would tell you what the score was but we left shortly after half time because Avery was getting sleepy. Kylie performed her cheer for the pre game and then we sat in the stands in front of the cheerleaders to watch the game. We were sitting in the student section when I managed to knock over my frito chili pie Brett had just brought to the stands onto on the students in front of me. Word of advice eating in the stands with two kids is no picnic. Anyways Kylie had a great week learning her cheers on tuesday, going to the pep rally on thursday, and then cheering on friday. She of course wants to be a cheerleader when she grows up!

Pep Rally




Kylie participated in the Cheer clinic this week at the Benton High School. She had such a great time. Tonight we left gymnastics early and got to go to her first ever pep rally. All of the girls stood at the front of the stage and watched the girls cheer. At the end of the pep rally they all got to get up on the stage and participate with the cheerleaders. Somehow my child ended up in the very back so it was hard to see her at times, but she had a blast. It brought back alot of great memories listening to the excitement of a pep rally again. However the alma mater was all wrong (HAIL CROSSETT HIGH SCHOOL wanted to come out so bad).

A Haunting we will go...and a little too much sugar

Grandmamma sent the girls a care package for Halloween and Kylie decided she wanted to make her Haunted House tonight. It turned out pretty good and Avery participated as well. Daddy was at work so he missed out on all the fun. Of course the video was at the end of the fun. I think Kylie had a little too much sugar!

Oh, watch me grow!





Avery is growing so fast! She is almost 7 months old. She can now officially say mama, dada, and bye. She just said dada today. Brett is very excited. Every time she says mama he says dada to her. I guess that is how she picked it up; of course she is a daddy's girl. She is beginning to have some attachment issues where mommy is concerned but she always smiles as soon as she sees her daddy. She is sitting up now and is creeping like a caterpillar. She wants to crawl so bad. Grandmama sent a care package that arrived today and the girls enjoyed their Halloween fun. I posted a picture of Avery trying on her Halloween wear. She loves to take baths! Most of the time she takes one with her sister but Kylie spent the night out with Mallory and I got some good pictures of her in the bath by herself. I included a video, but I am new at this so I hope it works.
