PLAYOFFS!!

Parkway made it to the playoffs...YEAAAA!!  We played two playoff games this year before getting beat.  Our first game was at home.  Nannie and Papaw were able to come and watch the game with me.  Mima came also and she was so sweet to keep the girls so I could enjoy the game.  Not to mention how cold it was, they would not have made it through the whole game anyway.  Coach Hill (Head Coach) is a super strong Christian man and even had scripture on the football shirts!  Something not seen a lot these days.  So, it was no shock to us to see this run thru banner before the game...

Here's "Coach Cossey" in the booth... 
"P H S" pregame 
Game time! 

This would be my favorite kid, Brandon Harris.  He is Cecil Ray's freshman quarterback and back up varsity qb.  He's such a great guy.  Well, all his dreams came true in a hurry when qb1 got hurt in the game and he had to go in.  His first time playing varsity and what does he do?  Throws a BOMB and we score!! I wish I had a video of him when it happened that was his "Super Bowl" moment! 
The next we lucky us get to travel to Lafayette for our game.  It's about a 3-4 hour drive from our house.  But, being the faithful coaches wife I am, I loaded up the girls and off we went!  Here is Hannah, she found the light switch, that was entertainment long enough for me to get ready...HA! 
It was SO cold that night but we stuck it out. 

Hannah all bundled up... 
Hayley, freezing because she wouldn't wear her hat or mittens... 
Game time 

There's Lexie (with her head turned), I was keeping an eye on her since her mom couldn't be there. 
Well, we froze and lost but it was a good game.  Daddy got to come with us to the hotel after the game and ride back home with us.  While we were down there, we had breakfast with a friend from Lake Pointe singles group, Stephanie and her boys.  It was some great "Cajun" breakfast and a cute town too!

Frist State Fair of Louisiana!

We decided to go to the State Fair of Louisiana with our new friends "The Jositing's"!  TJ, the dad, coaches with Cecil Ray.  His wife Michelle is the sweetest thing ever. And, they have three kids Tyler (17), Lexie (14), and Cade (6).  We have a great time hanging out with them and they are our first friends here.

Minute to Win It at the SciPort!

While the family was in town for the football game, we decided to go to the SicPort (science museum).  Little did we know they were having Minute to Win It auditions (Minute to Win It is a TV game show and you have one minute to do silly tricks to advance to the next level).  Well, Chris, Cecil Ray and I decided to enter the contest.  The winner of the contest was to advance to the finals Thanksgiving weekend. 

The first task was to empty a box of tissues using one hand (harder than you think).  This was to qualify to play the game.  They took the first four to complete the task






I'm sad to say that Cecil Ray didn't make it to compete.  But, Chris and I did.

"Spoon Frog" was the next even.  In this event, you had to flip a spoon by hitting it on a table with your hand to make it land in a cup. 



Chris nor I won so we were out.  But, they invited us to play in the next qualifying game later that evening.  So, we stayed around and did.

This time, both Cecil Ray and I passed the first round and it was off to the second round.
I will say we don't have all the picture taken because our memory card got a virus and we couldn't get all the pictures off it.  Anyway, the second round you had to pick up candy using a straw in your mouth run across the room and balance it on another straw that was stuck in foam.  I won this challenge!! 


Another challenge was to drop ping pong balls on a table making them bounce into glasses at the other end of the table.  Remember you have one minute to complete each task or you are out! 

Moving on, next we had to shoot rubber bands at cans on a stool and knock them all off the stool.  Again, we both won this round. 

The last challenge was down to Cecil Ray and me.  We had to put a piece of spaghetti in our mouth and then just using the spaghetti pick up 6 pieces of pasta sitting on a stool.  They had to all six stay on the spaghetti to win... 

Well, I WON and so I advanced to the finals that will take place Thanksgiving weekend...stay tuned!

After, we were done playing, we let the kids go play...
