OH yea, I know the facts (some of them) about football. Thanks to the MSU Women's Football camp that my dear friend, Kayla and I attended last month. I have been looking forward to this camp ever since last season-honestly. The days are gone where I am left questioning why the ref is throwing flags on the field, wondering why they continue to pass the ball EVERY play, and just what those funny names for plays mean..



After a day of being schooled on offense, defense, and basic rules of the game, I feel pretty confident going into football season. I think I might even pay attention during the game. Hehe


So here are a few pictures of the day. I would have to admit the camp was worth every penny and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Plus, It was a pleasure getting to know all the coaches that my dear sweet husband is always talking about. Is he jealous you ask? Of course! What fan wouldn't want to spend a day in the locker room, workout room, one on one training with the coaches, and experiencing the thrill of running out on the field to the best montage of past season clips and PUMP YOU UP music?!


With all that said, I'm looking forward to cooler weather and attending a few football games. Thanks to Dan and Megan Mullen for allowing us to make our husbands jealous!

Watch Kayla's video below!

Kayla VS Dummy. If you know Kayla personally, this video is so much more entertaining. I'd hate to play offensive against her! Haha!

Welcome to the World!!

Finally!! I am officially an Aunt! Hooray! Pashby Collins Reed made her debut August 1, 2011- 7 pounds and 4 ounces. Of course she took after her mother, and was fashionably late, a week late as a matter of fact. But she was well worth the wait. I think I speak for everyone in our family when I say we are overjoyed to have her in our life. I have already sewed up an Oh Sew Cute outfit and there will be many more to come!

Kacey and Ashley are doing great. I know they will be fantastic parents to Miss Pashby.

Life's little pleasures

Just a small video I wanted to share. When I was in News Orleans earlier in the Summer, I took a trip to the Audubon Aquarium. Yes, I went solo. And yes, I am that annoying person who oohs and awes over how cute the animals are. I apologize in advance if we ever run into each at the zoo. Anyways, back to the story. While hanging out at the aquarium, I stumbled upon the stingray exhibit and decided to take a quick video to share with Cody when I returned home.

Little did I know I would make a "friend" who followed me around through the glass. I'd walk to the left, he'd swim to the left.. You get the picture. Now more than likely, this was all in my head. However, this little guy made me smile and watching the video, I think he even smiled back. It is nice to take a moment to relax and enjoy the small things.

Take a look.

Fyi-did you know they feed stingrays broccoli? Weird huh?

Look Whooo's Turning Fifty

My near and dear mother just celebrated a major birthday milestone.. the big 50! Geesh, that seems to old. It still seems odd that my parents continue to age.. I guess at some point I just assumed that they would both stop aging! Unfortunately, that is not the case. Oh well. With age comes greatness... right?


In celebration of Mom, we hosted a dinner in her honor at Mesquite Chophouse in Southaven. (Fabulous restaurant, btw) The whole crew, plus a few guests, wined, dined, and enjoyed the company of friends and family. Plus, what would a big birthday be without a cake? Oh goodness, I can't even imagine. Good thing I ordered a very scrumptious cake WAY in advance. Check it out!


Happy Birthday to a wonderful Mother who continuously nurtures and loves us, regardless of our faults.

Summertime.. and the living's easy

Well, it was. Unfortunately the Summer is slowly fading away and the sounds of sweet fourth graders will return. Oh well-that's life I guess. Luckily, Summer turns into Fall, which is my favorite season of all.

Anyways, I'm getting ahead of myself-back to the present. I must say it has been a very relaxing Summer. Aside from a trip to New Orleans, which was fabulous, I have spent most of my days lounging about. Can't complain really. Two months of paid vacation is pretty nice; but also well deserved, if I do say so myself.

The only thing that is not well rested is my credit card. Oh yes, sadly I have spent my idle time shopping away.. Where you ask? Anywhere and Everywhere.. What I have bought? Boy, I couldn't even tell ya! I told you I'm a fan of local boutiques-and I wasn't lying. One of my favorite purchases, that I can remember, is my Waxing Poetic necklace-from Paisley Pineapple. Check it out. I've been sporting it around town.

Other than a trip or two and a major case of shoppingitis, I haven't been in too much trouble. I would say the Bunyard household has been pretty quite. Cody and I have been patiently awaiting the arrival of our niece or nephew-due any day now! I must say. the "patience" have long since run out! I am dying over here! When is that baby going to come? Geesh!

Here are a few pictures from the Baby Reed's showers. One event was a Stock the Library shower, thrown by her wonderful friends; Sarah Sartain, Gail Musick, and Kristen Gilbert. The other was a Pamper the Pregnant Lady themed shower, hosted by myself and my wonderful Mary Kay consultant, Kayla Essary.

These characters look familiar?




FYI- I made this sign for the front door. Turned out pretty cute!!

Don't worry, I'll annouce his/her arrival as soon I can, along with pictures of course!

A Little Craftiness Goes Along Way

For those of you who know me well, I can't keep my hands still ! I am constantly on the go and always have a craft up my sleeve.. And boy does this intensify over the summer with the LARGE amount of idle time.

So here are a few of the projects I've been working on. To keep from being cooped up in the house, I've been scoping out the local shops and boutiques. My oh my the wonderful things they house!! Unfortunately, I have to keep my pocketbook well hidden to keep from buying everything. But that's okay, I did the next best thing to purchasing-making!! So no, I can not take credit for the idea of these crafts-I simply borrowed and added my own touch.

I would also like to thank my hubby for his handyman saw skills. I try to stray away from sharp, electric tools. ; )

We made this sign for Cody's cousin, Kristi. She recently purchased her first home! Hooray!

Once I saw how fabulous the K sign turned out, I just had to make one for my own home. It looks great!

I saw this in a magazine and thought I would give it a shot. After a little elbow grease, it turned out looking perfect in our living room.

How Does Your Garden Grow?

Have I mentioned the talent that oozes from my husbands fingertips... Geesh! He seizes to amaze me with all the things he CAN do. One title to add to his list is Gardener. Look at these yummy veggies that came from Cody's garden. Holy cow!

I can't even keep a house plant alive and Cody can plant seeds and turn them into nourishing food. Makes me ill!!!

Oh well, I can only hope our children will share his talents.

Cucumber anybody?
