Couponing at CVS

This week's haul from CVS was only $16 smackers!

First I headed to the magic coupon machine and got $5 extra care bucks. It's like money to use on your purchase. Think it's a cvs promotion they are doing based on your purchasers at cvs.

When you can't have Chuck's

My sister had Chuck's for dinner last night...They have a burger with chili slaw and pickles. It's a one of a kind hamburger found at the Rolling Fork establishment.
Paul and I went to the softball game in carthage and got the next best thing ...the Ward's burger with chili, cheese and pickles. It's pretty close.
There are some things I miss a out my home town!

Uncle Paul and Landry

We went by and saw Lisa, my mom and Landry Sunday afternoon and brought them some goodies. Uncle Paul held this little sweetie for the first time. My mom snapped a photo of me but I didn't like it. Aunt Leslie has to look good for her first official photo with her niece!

He loves her! So sweet. He said she was about the size of a football! :)

Less than a month away from Spring Football and the hits just keep coming

One of the things that I love about Ethel High School is that it's small. I went to a small school and I like knowing everyone.
From a coaching stand point it can be a little frustrating. Here's an example -- Attala County is full of woody, undeveloped land. While the school is located in the small town of Ethel, most of the students live in those wooded areas. My point is there aren't lots of places to live. We don't live in the county school district because we couldn't find a place to live.
So the comings and goings of students is a bit normal and when you are the football coach, it's tough.
Case in point -- Today, two students will be moving to Kosciusko due to home life issues. They just both happen to play football and do a pretty good job of it.
They both have been in athletic study hall with the coaches trying to help them with their grades.

Then, you have the school off the Natchez Trace Parkway that tries to lure our kids to come play over there even though you aren't suppose to recruit.

And last but not least, the bad grades. I've never seen so many kids with problems with grades. That's another entry for another time.

I just pray everything works out and that maybe Spring practice will go well.  It's only a month away.

Oh the joys of the being the coach's wife.

And in other news...We are All-Star Coaching again

Paul got the call Wednesday that he has been selected to coach in the Mississippi/Alabama All-Star Game in Mobile, Ala., in December as an assistant coach. The head coach is his long-time friend Junior Graham and his bestest friend Kenny Burton will also be an assistant coach. I've dubbed them the "Dream Team."
Paul and Kenny coached at West Point together for one  year in the early 90s and Paul hasn't ever worked with Junior before. I think Kenny did coach with Junior in the Miss. All-Star game but I'm not totally sure on that.

My favorite coach, of course!

And my second favorite coach, Kenny B!

Landry Rose's first photo shoot with Aunt Leslie

Got to spend the Day with Lisa, Landry and my mom yesterday and we had our first photo shoot! I've never taken photos of someone so little and wiggly! She was 8 days old and since only a few of her outfits fit her we decided her pink blankets were enough. We are going to try and take more photos in about a month.

This is my favorite photo! She didn't like the flash much but she did great.

 Her very first photo taken by Aunt Leslie

 With her bunny Cousin Kay made. I think she like it!

Isn't she so sweet...

My niece is 5 days old! When I do her photos for her birth announcement she will be a week and a day.
Landry is causing me to have baby fever. :)
My sister sent me these.
