My new niece
My sister Elizabeth had her baby yesterday. Welcome Kaitlyn Nell! She is so pretty and I could have just held her forever. Congrats to Elizabeth, Brad, and Shelby! 
Champions X 2
Well, the boys were finally able to play their championship games after a week of rain outs! They both won! Hudson and his team won their game on Monday and then Chan's team won Tuesday night. They were both excited. I think we're ready for a break though. We've been playing ball since March. I'm impressed with how much Hudson improved from the spring to the fall and can't wait to see how much better he gets next spring. Richard tells me that Chandler should hit one over the fence next year. I just want him to get one! :) He's come so close so many times. Sorry these pictures are so dark. I really need a new camera.
Hudson's team. The 2007 5 year old Yankees.
Chandler's team. The 2007 11-12 year old Twins.
My baseball boys. Love it!

The Crimson Mafia goes to Oxford!
Last Saturday, we went to the Alabama-Ole Miss game at Ole-Miss. We had a great time! Richard and his dad decided a few weeks back that they wanted to go to an away game this year so they decided on this one and called Richard's uncle in Fayette to see if any of them would be interested in going. Well, we had 22 people to go! There were supposed to be 23 but one of Richard's uncles had gall bladder surgery earlier that week and ended up not being able to go. Richard came up with the idea that we should all have matching shirts so we were the "Crimson Mafia" Our shirts said that on the front and on the back they said, "Beat Bama...? Fa Getta Bout it" We were informed by a man from New Jersey that the phrase on the back was misspelled but Richard told him that was the southern spelling :) We also had matching houndstooth "skid lids". See pictures below. We got lots of attention from it! It was a really long day. We left at 5am and got home about 9pm. We had a great time! These pictures are a little out of order.
I had to take a picture of this guy and I wish I could have gotten one of him from the front but we were walking so it was a little hard to do. From the front, it was so much funnier! He had a little belly on him and his shorts were pulled down below his belly. Way too low! It was crazy and of course he was a bama fan!
The boys put their jerseys on when we got in the car on the way home. They got sunburn beards. It was hot and sunny and I didn't even think about sunscreen! It was freezing when we left that morning! I know...call DHR!
Me and Hud waiting patiently in the car in traffic to get off on the exit. Chandler giving us bunny ears in the background. Note: Hudson has an "A" tan line on his cheek from these tattoos!
Richard made us a sign to go in the window of the car. It got us a lot of attention on the way to the game! Richard had fun interacting with the fans on the way to the game. We saw some Tennessee fans headed to Mississippi State and he violently shook his Alabama shaker at them out the window. They thought it was pretty funny.
My fam and Richard's dad before the game. I had to help Hudson keep tabs on DJ Hall the whole game. "Where's #22?"
Chandler looked pretty smooth in his hat.
Some other members of the Mafia after Bama's win. Where are we going next year, Richard? ROLL TIDE!!!!!

Obsessions
We have been dealing with some obsessions at our house lately. So, I thought I would share a few.
At the moment, Hudson's is this sticker eye black. One morning he asked if his game that night was in the dark. When I told him no, he said he needed some eye black. So, I bought him some. Richard suggested I get the sticker kind so it wouldn't be so messy. Well, he loved it and wore it day and night. To shower, to sleep, to school. I made him take it off before church that Sunday but it was back on that afternoon. It's so cute!
Chandler's is his cell phone that he got for his birthday. Texting and talking all the time. This really gets on my nerves sometimes but I'm trying to be cool about it.
Richard and I share the same obsession at the moment. SCRABBLE! He's always loved the game but I suck and we didn't have it so we never played. I got him the game for his birthday and we have played just about everyday since. Sometimes more than once a day. That's been about a month. Although I am getting a little better and have managed to win a time or 2, I get my butt seriously kicked and swear I'm never playing again. It's great quality time for us and we really enjoy it. I enjoy it more when I win but like I said, that rarely happens.
