Fall 2010

Most the time, I update by the month, but it looks like this time, I'm going to update you on a season! The most exciting thing that happened this Fall was the decision Bowden made to accept Christ. It's been a very sweet time for us to watch Bowden do this and to hear him articulate what he's learned over the years and why he wanted to do it. Melts my heart everytime!! Something else that made it extra special was that an old friend of ours from college baptized Bowden. When B started asking questions, which I must say were pretty mind-boggling coming from a 7 year-old, (for example, "So why did God put that tree in the garden anyway? and "Do people that go to Hell ever get another chance to go to Heaven?")we stayed up late and answered all we could and after several weeks of this, we had him meet with Jarrett to talk some more. Later that night, Bowden asked to pray and ask Jesus into his heart, so it was very fitting to have Jarrett be the person to baptize him. Let's see....Bowden also played flag football this season. He absolutely loves football and had a really great time playing. A major downside to this team (among other things) was that our coach graduated from LSU, so our team was named the Tigers. At one game, our coaches' wife actually made a run through sign that read, 'Geaux Tigers', at which point, I could no longer deny who we were named after. It was the only time I've thought since he's been gone that I'm glad Dad wasn't here to see this. It really goes without saying, he would not have been happy, but oh, how he would have loved watching the LSWho/ARKANSAS game! WPS! I love these pics...they really remind me of Jason...

Like everyone else, we also celebrated Halloween. Here are some cute pics our 'Playa' and 'Balla'. Ha!

Other than all that, thanks to the Luces, Jason took Bowden to his first Cowboys game. B is now officially a diehard Cowboys fan--nothing makes him more mad than hearing me call them the Cowgirls. Ha! His favorite player is Miles Austin. We also spent several days with the Luces over Thanksgiving and had a great and relaxing time.
Pierce is still as funny and fiesty as ever. He keeps us laughing with all the stuff he says and does. Something he learned from a buddy at school is to end all his songs with, "Tank you, tank you!" It gets me everytime... Life has gotten a little crazier in the last month or so. I've started helping out at Jason's office three days a week. With it being year-end, it hasn't been overly busy, so it's given me some time to figure out what I'm doing, so at this point, I know enough to be dangerous. This change in schedule has reminded me what a routine person I am and changes to the routine really make my head spin until I adjust, sooo if I've forgotten something or you see me and my crazy flag is flying at full mast, you know why. This also somewhat explains the blog hiatus, but if I'm being honest, I have a new boyfriend named Facebook that is probably more of the cause. I vow to do better!
