Kaitlyn's Showchoir Dinner Show

Yesterday we went to Northeast High School to a dinner show for Kaitlyn's showchoir, known as the Gold Horizons. It was a very nice dinner and the showchoir performance was really good. They got to perform in their new school Performance Arts building which is really nice. The showchoir will be starting their competitions this Saturday, and will be competing every weekend till March. In March they will be traveling to Nashville, TN to compete in the Nationals. Kaitlyn has been in showchoir since she was in the seventh grade, and she loves it. She does an amazing job and we are so proud of her.

My First Hunting Trip

I went with Jason on my first hunting trip. And, I have to say, it was FUN...... Caden decided that he did not want to go, he had made plans with a friend. Jason really wanted to go, so I offered to go with him. Not really thinking that he would take me up on my offer, but he did. And, I was glad. I kept thinking what have I got myself in to, having to get up at 4:45 in the morning and sitting out in that cold weather. But, I made it, and I stayed awake the entire time. Once, I got in the woods, it was exciting sitting there with the anticipation that maybe I was going to get to see a deer come out. Unfortunately, we didn't see anything, but it was fun just being there and being with Jason.

Party at the Hurd's

Some of our good friends Doug and Whitney Hurd invited us over for a night of fun on Friday night. We met some of their friends Steve and Christy Coleman, and Tommy and Robin Ball were also there. We played (or attempted to play) games, and Doug got out his guitar and him and Steve did a little singing for us. We also celebrated Jason's birthday. Jason's birthday is not until January 31, but Doug plays in a band, and he never gets a weekend night off, so we went ahead and celebrated it with them on Friday. It was a great night of fun and meeting new friends, we all can't wait to do it again.

Celebrating the New Year.....

For New Year's Eve, Jason and I went to Vicksburg to ring in the new year. We met our friends, Tommy and Robin Ball, Greg and Samantha Fleming, and Doug and Whitney Hurd. We all had a great time, we won some money, and danced the night away with my favorite band, " Dr. Zarr and the Amazing Funk Monsters.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

WE WOULD LIKE TO WISH ALL OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS A " HAPPY NEW YEAR"!

Christmas 2008

We had a wonderful Christmas this year with our family and friends. We made our routine rounds on Christmas Eve to Jason's dads in Hattiesburg, and to my grandmother's house in Petal. Then it was on to my parents for Christmas Day. We enjoyed all our time visiting and just getting to spend some time with our families. We all stay so busy during the year, so we don't get together as often as we would like, but are thankful for the time that we have when we do get to visit. Kaitlyn and Caden got so much for Christmas that I would not even know where to begin. I think they got everything that they asked for and more. Carter did get that football helmet that he wanted, but from the pictures I don't know who enjoyed it more. Calvin or Carter?
