Thanksgiving, is a special night...

Gramma and Papa came to town for the first EVER Thanksgiving at OUR house. We have always traveled or were at someone else's house. I had to make the turkey and everything...

As soon as my parents got it, I put my mom right to work. She feed the baby, read books, ran around outside with the kids, etc.

Papa helped too!! He loves his granddaughters:) It helps that AC is agreeable.

You know I love the self-timer...especially when its combined with a tripod!!!

The pups even wanted to get in on all the memories being made...

A&M vs Baylor...and my birthday

We went up to College Station this Sat because B's college roommate was in town. We were lucky enough to get to go to the game as well. This was a plus for so many reasons...one of which was that we WON!! Whoop!!!

We started off the weekend with lunch at Chicken Oil. Very crowded and very delicious...mmmmm...Tiajuana fries...

We had to park a half marathon away from the stadium and on our walk the weather was frightful...so cold and misty rain:( By the time we made it to our seats there was a beautiful rainbow...
The game was great. The company was great. The weather turned out great... Aggieland is great!!

Vegas Baby!

So, I went to Las Vegas for a math conference! The best part was that my mom went too:) We were just a couple of math teachers hangin' out in sin-city...good times.

Here is the picture from the plane. Turns out Vegas is pretty close to the Grand Canyon...huh?
Here's me and mom on Freemont St. We saw the light show and then went to eat at B&B Ristorante, Mario Batali's restaurant. Here is a couple of my new friends...
My mom wouldn't let me take a good picture of her:) We are walking around in the Venetian here. See the fake sky?

I spend most of my time with my new buddies at these Virtual Black Jack tables. They were very fun and you could yell at the dealer when you got bad cards...

just some pictures

Halloween Weekend 2009

We will start the weekend on Wed because that is when B carved these SWEET pumpkins using the Dremel tool. I think he is going to quit his job and do this full time :)

On Thursday the Halloween fun really began. C and AM got to dress up for school!! C had a parade...He was the red Power Ranger. AM was a princess...shocker! Little AC was a ballerina, I guess.



Sat morning Uncle B-rad and Aunt Net came in for C's soccer game and Halloween of course. AC was a PUMA!!!

Then that night we just went to a few houses on our street. C was now Spiderman and AM was a Princess again, but in a different dress and with a tiara.

OMG!! Look at these angels! They were so cute. I love our house and neighborhood, but I do wish there were more kiddos on our street. They had fun and that is all that matters!!! CANDY!! But not too much, we have been watching Biggest Loser...
