Sunday Lunch with the gang

We almost always go to lunch Sunday after church and Sunday School.  Jerry and Kathy had the boys this weekend as Emily was celebrating her birthday in Vegas, so they brought the boys along.  I can remember when we used to look for "kid friendly" places and 3 high chairs.  Now look at them in big boy chairs and eating all their lunch.  Layton brought Patrick with him to introduce us to him and have pictures taken, kinda like Flat Stanley.  Sweet kids and happy to be part of their lives.

A&M vs AR at Jerry World, 2011

We didn't take many pictures during the game this year.  A&M played so bad we all were drepress and tired.  Maybe next year? 

Thank you Julie and KW for GREAT seats. 

Anna's First night at the Arboretum

The Arboretum is just filled with pumpkins this time of year and I wanted to take Anna and mom and dad of course.  Aunt JuJu was in town so she went along with us.  Actually, Aunt JuJu gave Anna this sweet dress.  We took several pictures and after we rearranged the Arboretum displays we got a really cute one of Anna in a pot of pumpkins.  She is such a good sport.

Better than dad!  Hal did a great job of capturing this photo.  Keith actually got into the spirit of the evening.

The Arboretum is holding concerts through October.  The weather is finally nice enough to again take advantage of this wonderful venue.  Hal and I love outdoors and music.  Here we get both and love going.  I think next year we may get season tickets.  I think this is such a sweet picture of Julie and Anna with the lake in the background.  Beautiful evening.

Getting our picnic all ready.  We even had Tradition wine...OMGoodness!  Life is grand.
Grandpa enjoying the evening.  Looks like a happy camper to me.

Anna got so tired, she fell asleep on my shoulder.  I just couldn't put her down.

Cute mom and dad...

A lovely evening and so happy to have them join us at one of our favorite places.

Until next year!

Arboretum Night Out

I just love the Arboretum gardens.  And this time of the year they line the pathways with pumpkins of all size, shape and color.  The Friendship Group had a evening at the Arboretum last Thursday night.  Hal and I had already planned on going so it worked out perfect.  The last time we were there during the summer we had table envy....so we purchased a table and now others have table envy and want us to cater their event.

There was a nice breeze this evening...thus the bad hair.  Lovely evening.

Game Day, A&M

Saturday morning we usually ride our bikes to Cindi's for breakfast and meet up with John & Susan.  This Saturday, we had several errands to run and the weather was so beautiful we decided to run errands with the top down.  There is a new restaurant that opened up near John and Susan's so we decided to meet there.  They walked and met us.  I really love the Coffee House and hope the work out all the kinks.  Afterwards we ran our errands and then stopped by to visit dad and Elizabeth and took them A&M shirts to wear during the A&M vs Oklahoma State.  They wore them proudly.  Unfortunately A&M forgot to play the 2nd half and we lost....
Oh well Georgia Tech won...

Happy Birthday Keith

Last Friday Keith turned 31....Happy Birthday Keith!

We decided to serve ribs for dinner and asked Rod if he would make his world famous ribs....he said YES!
Rod and Mollie sold there house in Plano so our time here with them is limited.  We invited our friends over to help us celebrate.  They all wanted to know if Anna was coming before they RSVP'd.
The weather has been so nice as compared to our summer and I was so looking forward to hanging outside, grilling and chilling.

 They look more and more alike.

 I took some really good pictures with Anna, but this is one of my favorites!  She had some really cute skinny jeans on....so cute.

 Anna and Grandpa are always so relaxed.  Reminds me when Pierce was a baby.  GP seemed to have a magic touch with him.

 Oh, I forgot, it's Keith's birthday!

 Now this is one of my favorite pictures with Anna. 

Happy Birthday Keith and many many more.

Game Day Weekend 2011

I just love Labor Day weekend, for many reasons.  Other than the many birthday celebrations, is means college football, pro football, the hope for cooler weather, outside dinning and BBQ.  Well this Labor Day did not disappoint me one bit.  Chris and Melissa went to the Georgia Tech / Western Carolina home game and they won 63 to 23. 
Saturday night we grilled out and watched LSU/Oregon game, 40 to 27.

Anna traveled to Houston / College Station for the A&M/SMU game, 46 to 14.  Aunt JuJu wore Anna out.

While we were out driving around with the top down, which was heavenly, we saw a train carrying many cars of army trucks and had to stop to take a picture for Pierce.  The train went on for miles.

We received a sweet picture of Darby McCamy and his daughter Lillie at her first Auburn/Utah State, 42 to 38.

When Keith & Elysse returned home from College Station we met them and John and Susan for dinner at our favorite place with a great patio, Casa Milagro.  Anna was such a trooper, she hung out with us for 3 1/2 hours.

Great Labor Day weekend.  Very thankful for the cool weather.
