Sometimes you just have to grab your camera!

It was a beautiful day in Lubbock Texas, the day we beat the good ole' Longhorns. Ava and Max we're playing in Dee Dee's backyard, when I looked out they had two umbrellas and we're sitting in these chairs. Of course I jumped up and ran out with my camera....OF COURSE!

Trick or Treat at Dee Dee and Papa's!

Halloween 2008!

This year we drove to Lubbock for the Tech/UT game on Friday which was Halloween, so as soon as we arrived we chowed down some Taco Villa and then hit the Dee Dee and Papa's neighborhood.

Last minute our princess decided to be a pink Care bear, which would have been just fine in 50 degree weather....not in 80. So we hit up 5 or 6 houses then Ava got overheated and was done. Guess we'll try to plan a little better next year.

Max got a little practice in....he did really great with the "Trick or Treat" and the "Thank you."

"Mommy can we play on your computer..."

My child has hit the "I wanna play a game" age. Every night in the sweetest voice she asks about playing on my computer. Her skills get better each time considering I don't have a mouse attached.

Max's first little suit....

Don't hate me because I'm so handsome!

We're getting ready around here for the big wedding Saturday night. My cousin Courtney and her Englishman Duncan will be tying the knot here in Dallas. Friday starts the festivites with a Bridal luncheon at The Mansion at Turtle Creek. Then Rehearsal at the church that evening. It will be Ava's debut as a flower girl, along with cousins Adrian and Lyndyn. After rehearsal we'll head to Gilly's for the rehearsal dinner and a little two-stepping. Saturday morning Miss Ava has a hair appointment along with the other flower girls. And at 5pm wedding bells will be ringing and a heck of a reception to follow.

We are so excited to be apart of this day, Courtney and Duncan are truly perfect together!!
