Gaines' First Christmas Tree

Saturday night I had Chad help me put up our Christmas tree. A lot of people probably think that's weird because we haven't even had Thanksgiving yet, but we are going to be out of town most of this week, the first weekend in December, and the last week and a half of December. I just wanted us to be able to enjoy our tree at least a little! Plus, all this Christmas shopping I've been doing has really got me in the spirit. I guess Gaines is still young because Chad and I tried to get him excited about it, but he just whined most of the time we were putting it up! He does like to look at it when it's all lit up though. Last night we put him in this rocking chair my mom gave him that used to belong to me when I was little, and took his picture. He's too cute! We can't wait for his first Christmas with us!

Gaines is a Big Boy!

For those of you who were worried about it, Gaines has finally rolled over! He did it once on Tuesday night and then we were able to catch the second time on video. The night before his 6 month appointment. I was working with him feverishly so that I wouldn't have to tell the doctor that he was still not rolling over! I guess the hard work payed off! He's also drinking from a sippy like a big boy. I can't believe how fast he's growing. He's already half a year old! Yesterday at his 6th month check up he had to get his shots. He was so tough! He barely cried. All the other babies were crying FOREVER! He didn't even shed a tear when they pricked his finger. What a tough little Huff!!!

Bulldogs Are State Champs

It's been a couple of days since Chad's team won the state championship. Sorry that I haven't posted anything about it until now, I've been busy Christmas shopping and Gaines had his 6 month shots today. The Bulldogs won the championship by three points!!! It was intense to say the least. I thought they might lose at one point and I had to take a break from it but they ended up pulling through. I'm so proud of them! They finished the season the way they wanted to. Now there will be a bowl game in Texas on December 1st. We are praying for another win and then it will be a completely perfect season. Here are some pictures from the game for those of you who didn't get to be there. Wish everyone could've come!

Good luck to Chad and the Bulldogs!

I want to wish my husband good luck in the state championship game tomorrow. I know they are going to do well! All their hard work is sure to pay off. The other night we went the girls' basketball game because it was my friend Melanie's coaching debut (the Bulldogs won 78-34 by the way). Anyways, they were playing a team from New Orleans who had brought a photographer. When he spotted Chad with his mini-me across the gym, he took a picture and sent it to us. I wish they were both looking in the same direction but you get the drift. Anyways, good luck Chad from me and Gaines! You're going to "finish" tomorrow!

Gulf Coast Wins Again

Gulf Coast is playing for the state championship next weekend! They beat Northwest in the first play off game today 31-6. To make it even better, my sister has been here since Thursday! I have LOVED having her here! We've had so much fun. I hate to see her leave. The only thing that could have made the weekend better is if my Crimson Tide had beat LSU! They had a chance, and they blew it! Oh well. Gulf Coast is my #1 team and they're unstoppable right now. I hope to see everyone at the game next Saturday. Here are a couple of the pics from the game today. Gaines is already a ladies man! Should I be worried?!
