Mini-Mounties Cross Country Race

Run, Run, as fast as you can! You can't catch me, I'm Luke Jewell!! On Tuesday after school, Luke ran in the Mini-Mounties Race with our school. I really thought that since he was running around everywhere before the race with his buddy, he would come in dead last!! But, as always, he proved me wrong! Out of around75 K-2nd graders in the district, Luke came in about 20th. I think that's darn great!! He has been practicing after school for a couple of weeks now, running around the track at school. I need to take after him and get my lazy bootie out there with him! :)

Hogs, Hogs, and more Hogs!!

Well, another fun, fun Razorback game!! NOT!! We had fun with Grannie Lynne and Pa Paw Jim, Grandma Paula and Pa Paw Danny tailgating, but other than that, the game was SUCH a let down! It was a beautiful day and our seats, for the most part, were in the shade. Right after half time, the sun was in our faces and it was HOT!!! After the game, Lynne, Aunt KK, Luke and I went to my fav store ever!! Target! I am soooo excited about the one in Rogers opening soon! Their shoes are awesome and I love their clothes! And, who can forget their fall and halloween accessories?? I hope no one does!! I had a great weekend of shopping with my mother in law, Lynne, and my sis in law, Karen. We also tried out Keypoint Church in Bentonville... Pastor Casey is such a wonderful speaker. I am so excited about going this Sunday. As for the Razorbacks, we'll keep our fingers crossed for the game vs. Texas!! I am not a fair wather fan, but I have my doubts about this one!!

We love the Razorbacks!

Fall+Arkansas Football= My favorite time of the year! We go to all the games and we love every minute of it. Tailgating and all! Here are some pics from the 1st game of the season vs. Western Illinois. John and Nazy were in from LA and they hadn't seen Luke for a couple of years... Need less to say, Luke loved horsing around with John! Go Hogs!!

My Family

I know... Luke looks just like his daddy! I agree. When he was born, my mother in law looked at him, and said, "Oh my, he looks exactly like Brian did when he was born!" It was true! And, from that day on, that is what I hear everywhere we go. Good thing my husband is so good looking!!:)

My First Blog!!

Wow! I can't believe how easy it is to start blogging! Well, I really don't have the time to do this every day, or even every other day, but I have wanted to do this for some time now... So, here I go!! Just so you know, it's 2:oo a.m. on Sunday morning.. and this is what I am doing! (no more naps for me!) Hurricane Ike is currently in my back yard and I am constantly going in to check on my sweet 6 year old to make sure he isn't waking up from all the wind and rain. I don't know why I do, he sleeps just like his daddy. Once he is asleep, he doesn't wake up! Tonight I went to a friends house for a girls night. As a mom, wife, and 1st grade teacher, I NEED those nights. But, it's always wonderful to come home to my family. Luke and Brian went to Fast Lanes and rode go-carts and played games. Luke loves that place, and it's practically in our backyard so he never forgets about it! He had made me a card that said "I love mom and dad" with our pictures on it. It was very sweet. He usually does something like that any time I leave, which is not very often! That is just how Luke is.... I wish he would stay 6 forever... he still gives me hugs and kisses, makes sure I have my purse every morning when we walk out the door, and blows me kisses at school in the hallway. He even will crawl on top of me on the couch and fall asleep. I love it. I love being a mom.
