Show us Your Life - Halloween Costumes

This week Kelly at Kelly's Korner is hosting "Show us Your Life - Halloween Costumes." Here are a few pictures of some of the girls' past halloween costumes. I wish I had a digital picture of Avery's first Halloween. She was a 50's girl and had a cute poodle skirt. This is a picture of her 2nd halloween when she went as a Biker Chick. Addison is actually wearing this costume this year although she thinks she is being Taylor Swift (more on that later.)

For Addison's 1st halloween both of the girls were pirates.

Last year they were Aggie cheerleaders.

I have gotten very behind on blogging the last few weekends. Two weekends ago we got to go visit my sister and my new niece, Kherington. I hadn't seen her since she was born three weeks before, and she had changed so much. The girls are crazy about her. Avery thinks she needs to hold her and feed her constantly. My mom drove up Saturday morning, and she stayed with the girls so me and Kara could get out and do some shopping. It was so hard to leave Saturday night not knowing when we would see them again. Here are a few pictures from our visit.





This past weekend one of my friends, Haley, called and asked if we wanted to go to Wal-Mart. She and her husband have just built a new house and will be moving in this weekend so she needed to get lots of things for the house. We intended to go without the kids but after not being able to find babysitters ended up taking them. Did I mention that she has twin boys that are one week younger than Addison? Yeah I know we realized we were crazy, but it needed to be done. The shopping part was relatively calm compared to the car ride with four screaming kids. We ended up getting lots of towels, shower curtains, bathroom rugs and dishes. I can't wait to see everything come together as they start moving in this weekend. I will post some pictures of the house later, but here are a few of our shopping trip.

Show us Your Life - Tailgates and Favorite Teams

This week Kelly is hosting Show Us Your Life - Tailgates and Favorite teams. It couldn't have come at a better time since I still haven't posted about our game last weekend. I love college football so when I found out A&M would be playing at Cowboy's Stadium I had to get tickets. We started the day by having lunch with Aaron's brothers and their families at Pappadeaux. I think everyone in the restaurant was either an Aggie or a Razorback fan.

We got to the stadium a little early to tailgate with my college roommate, Jill, and her family. The weather was not cooperating so these are the only pictures I got before the game.


We walked to the game in the pouring rain and were so glad to finally be indoors. The inside of the Stadium was unbelievable, but the atmosphere was nothing like being at Kyle Field. We ended up losing the game, but I was so glad we went. At least I got to watch the band perform. I can't wait for next year's Southwest Classic. I just hope the outcome is a little different.





Here are a few pictures from the game we went to last year in College Station. It was Military Day so they spread a huge American flag across the field before the game.



One of the most memorable games from when I was in college was the Red, White and Blue Out game played right after September 11, 2001. I got this picture from aggiesportsnews.com.
