DeSales Game

THIS was the game of the year! DeSales had never been beaten in CAL football history. And we were ready to make that happen! I was so super duper excited that my sister and her family were coming in town for this game. They purchased their air horn and hit the road on Thursday afternoon. They arrived Friday around 2 AM! We were all excited to see them that we stayed up chatting with them until 3:30. Well, everyone was up but Ella. Phew!

We woke up Friday and all of us were sooo excited about the big game! But had things to do before kick off. Hope, my sister, thought it would be a great idea to buy some shoe polish and decorate the Coach's car. My sis is brilliant! We headed to Target...got our goods...then headed to CAL. Coach was at BDub's eating some lunch so we had plenty of time to decorate his cute black car. Here are some pics:

My sis, niece and I ready to go and get our goods!

My sis didn't know what to put on this window, so I decided to take over....that's right....my Coach is HOT!

Good job girls!

I think this one is my favorite.

Thanks Anne-Marie for babysitting ;)

After decorating Coach's car we came home and made signs for the game. All of them came out so cute. Luke was so proud of his sign. With our signs and air horn in hand we were ready for some football!!! As I was getting my water and Gatorade ready I noticed how "together" DeSales looked. They had on lots of pink for breast cancer awareness month. Then all of a sudden the team was in a line and they would run, give their Coach five, spin around and run off. Oh my! This is a spiffy team I thought! I was really liking the hand shake thingy they were doing. Anyways, they had some big boys but I had a good feeling about this night. Since Hope and her family were coming to the game we decided to just bring Lukella with us. Craig and Hope's three kids are SO awesome with Lukella! I wasn't worried about my babies getting bored in the stands.

Sweet girls ready for the game!

Sweet Luke working on his sign for his Dad...It said "My Dad is the bomb.com" =)

Here is proof that I REALLY am the Water Girl! Told yall ;)

Coach about to walk out with his Captains for the coin toss. BUT the point of this picture is to show you my Gatorade table. See how nice and neat my cups are???

This game was sooooo GOOD!!!! I LOVED having my sis and her family in the stands acting all crazy when no one else was. I LOVED hearing the air horn blow and then receiving a text message saying "awkward" from my sis because the fans were so quiet...but she wasn't ;) I tell ya, us Louisianians don't play. We are loud and we are proud of our football! It was such a FUN game and ended on a GREAT note! CAL 29 DeSales 21! That's right...first time CAL has beaten DeSales...EVER! That's right...A LOT of first's going on at CAL with their first time Head Coach! SO incredibly proud of my hubby and his team!


Happy and proud Coach talking to his team after the big WIN!


LOVE this photo after the game with my sis and family! Thanks to the team photographer for getting this shot!

Sorry I am really behind on my posts. BUT we did win on our first playoff game Friday night! Woohoo! Now DeSales is coming back to us to play again. Should be another fun and exciting game!

Next game blog coming up...Ft. Knox. Hope everyone is doing fabulous! Had a busy day and night yesterday cooking for 12 Senior football players. We had them over to watch the LSU game and eat some jambalaya, chicken fettuccine, cheesy garlic biscuits, salad, chocolate chip pound cake, butterscotch candies and strawberry cobbler. I started on Friday cooking the fettuccine sauce. Then, yesterday, I was in the kitchen ALL day cooking! I was in heaven! I had so much fun! And at the same time realized how hard it would be to be a chef! SO happy I never got serious about going to Culinary School when we lived in Charlotte ;)

Bardstown Game

So sorry I haven't blogged about the last three football games. Life has been crazy busy! I told Stefan the other day that once Monday comes I blink and it is already Friday. I am having around 7 Pilates sessions a week now. Yipppeeee! Lukella are busy with school. On Wed.'s they are busy helping me in the kitchen bake cookies. Then, before I know it it is time for Friday Night Lights!!!

Three weeks ago we played at Bardstown. It was another District game and they were favored to win. I drove myself out there. I had a Coach's wife wanting me to ride with her and her family but I like to drive myself so I can get there early to do the water. I had no clue I was driving myself an hour out into the boonies! It was actually nice to have a hour of peace and quiet all to myself. Ahhhh! But I did have to turn off Adele because my eyes were getting a bit heavy. Bardstown was a country town and those fans loved their football! That's what I'm talkin about! They were favored to win. Imagine that. But we came out strong and hitting them hard and we were the ones that came out with the W! Oh yeah, at the beginning of the game the clock on the score board wasn't working so we never knew how much time was left until half or until the end of the game. Drove me nuts! How convenient for the clock to not work all game but then work fine at half time. Hmmm crazy right ?!? Anyways, this was such an exciting and intense game. Yes, the water girl was yelling like crazy. No, she did not care what people thought about her. Come on people...this is football! Get CRAZY! Final score was 21 - 16. So exciting!!! I was so proud of Coach and his team. And what really made my night was Coach driving me back to Louisville. We had an hour to discuss the game and what our game plan for next week would be. I am one blessed W.G. who gets to do this fun life with this sweet man! I adore this Coach! OK, enough with this sappy stuff. DeSales game coming up next with some crazy cajuns that came to visit :)

3-0 in District...YEAH BABY!!!

Family Pictures

My sister, Hope, and her family came to visit us this past weekend! We had way too much fun! On Saturday before Church we decided to try and have a family photo shoot. It was 3 o'clock. I know...worst time ever to try and have a shoot! BUT it was the only time we could do it and I was determined to get some shots. Well, it turned out to be not only super sunny BUT super windy! Oh my word! I am editing some shots right now and came across these. I can NOT stop laughing. Check out Luke with his dance moves. Please excuse the crazy Momma and her kung fu moves ;) Will be updating the last two games soon. We WON both and we are #1 in District right now! Woohoo!
Hope you enjoy these pics!

Yes, I promise...we are one happy, normal family =)

Lots of Love,

WE WON

We WON last night! Oh my word...what a GREAT game! The final score was 21-16! We are now 3-0 in District! Will have a blog about the game soon. This morning we are off to the playground while Coach is at practice then watch some more football this afternoon. Hopefully we will be able to catch some of the CARDS game and the Tigers! GO CARDS!!! And I can NOT believe I am saying this but Geaux Tigers!!! ;)



LOVE this pic of Lukella from a while back. They crack me up! Ella is reading a magazine and Luke is playing the Ipad. After football season this is what Coach and I will be doing on Saturday mornings ;) But until then....football football football...and I LOVE it!!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!

We All Survived!

My brother Paul, his wife Charity, son Kyan and twin boys from the Dream Center (Eric and Derric) arrived Wednesday afternoon to spend three nights with us. We were all super excited. Wednesday I made sure I had the teams cookies ready to go and taco soup was cooking at the same time for our guests. We had a great dinner that night chatting away and Lukella were having a blast running around with their cousin Kyan, Uncle Paul and the twins ;)

Kyan and Ella eating a snack together. Cuties.


Luke playing a game on the Ipad with Eric and Derric.

Cousins on the trampoline. Ella is always ready for her picture to be taken. Kyan is sitting in the background wondering who that crazy lady is that keeps taking pictures and why is Ella always posing ;)


First and last night my brother did some Pilates. Strugggllinnn on the Reformer. He never asked for another session. I kicked his booty ;)


While Coach went to work on Thursday we all headed to walk the mall. After the mall we went to the playground then went and watched practice. Stefan thought it would be funny to tell the team that we were thinking about adopting Eric and Derric and that they would come to CAL to play football next year. They are both around 6'2" but they are 18 years old. But he told them they were 16. So, the team was staring at them most of the practice. Ha! The twins are two of the sweetest, most respectable young men and you would never guess what they have been through. They are truly amazing! After practice we handed out cookies and ate some ourselves then headed to eat burgers. By the way Coach never told his team he was was kidding about the twins coming to CAL! Oopppss ;)

This weeks cookie tags said: FOCUS GOOD LUCK! Col. 3:23


Cousins hanging at the mall. Kyan still wondering who this crazy lady is that keeps on taking pictures =)

Ella with her new BFF Eric at the playground =)

Friday was a pretty lazy day. It was chilly and cloudy out. After we got all three kids settled with the sitter, the adults headed to the game. The drive wasn't bad and when we arrived CAL was cooking FREE burgers and giving out chips and drinks to go with them. How sweet! Felt like I was back home at the Dream Center! Got my Gatorade ready to go and it was time for some football. As we were singing the national anthem you could see that Shawnee only had about 25 players =( and only about 3 people in the stands =( and NO cheerleaders. Broke. My. Heart. We knew going into this game that we would probably get a win. They weren't even sure they were going to have enough boys to make a team at the beginning of the year. But I didn't realize we were going to beat them so bad. This game was COLD! I kept looking at my brother and all of my peeps and they were all bundled up. I started off with my visor but had to switch to a winter cap and gloves...with the fingers cut out so I could handle all of my cups ;) I also had my Uggs on and I was still freeezzziiinnggg. My word! At half time the score was 35-7. While I was finishing filling up my cups before the start of the third quarter...I saw the twins running a lap to stay warm. So funny and smart! But I had an even better idea at staying warm...Hot cheese nachos with jalapenos....Yeah baby!

The start of the 3rd quarter were all of our back ups and then JV team. Even with our Freshman in there we were still scoring. It was sad. I was secretly cheering for Shawnee but shhh don't tell the Coach. I tell you what, that Shawnee team might have only had 20 something boys on their team but they were the toughest group of boys we have played all year. And SO much heart! Our team cheered on the sidelines and high fived more than I have seen us do all year. I told Coach if they did this EVERY game and not just games we are blowing out teams...we might win State. The final score was 56-13 . After the game some Coaches were packing up faster then I have seen them move all year. They were so worried something was going to happen. For some reason I felt really safe. Safer than the Baton Rouge Dream Center on Sunday mornings. Yeah. Crazy. I know. Not sure what was with these men...but these white coaches were moving...FAST! As we were walking off of the field I was talking to the AD who pointed to a beautiful Church behind the stadium and said it was for sale. SAAWWEEEETT! Every city needs a Dream Center and I believe the Boutte's/Trahan's would do amazing things for the city of Louisville. I am just praying that my vision will be what the Lord wants and will direct the path of my whole family to the Ville...with the LeFors. Amen!

Saturday the boys and Charity left us and we were all so sad. There were so many people that fell in love with the twins and their sweet spirit. Eric in particular became Ella's BFF! She absolutely loved him and made him hold her for about the last hour they were here. Everyone loved Charity, Paul and Kyan but they weren't as outgoing and loud as these twins ;)

Derric and Eric. Love these boys. Oh, and they loved their new CAL gear the Coach brought home for them =)

Ella getting her last few hugs in before Eric had to leave =( So sweet!

This week is another crazy week of footbal practice, Pilates clients, school and cookie baking. But I love being busy! Friday night we play at Bardstown. They are undefeated. Should be a good game. Then next week my sister and her family come to Louisville to visit. Woohoo! We can't wait to hug and kiss the Boutte Fam!

Lots of Love,
