Trey & I Were Invited to Employee Appreciation Night @Cowboys Stadium AKA AT&T Stadium

Chris and his family invited us to join them at Cowboys Stadium for employee appreciation night.
We were so excited to be there!!!! This was our group!

The field was open for people to walk around and play games. The guys spent a few minutes on the field tossing the ball around before it got too crowded. I'm sure Trey felt like an NFL player, there for a hot minute.

We had one whole side of the stadium to wander about...

We even got an impromptu tour. This is the press area, where the coaches and players talk to the media after the game.

The guys couldn't resist…

Once we were done with that we enjoyed the free food and sat on the 50 yard line and watched Man of Steel. It was a wonderful night!

Jubilee of Tables 2014

Every year, the women's ministry at my church, hold an event where we worship, learn, fellowship, eat, and sit at beautifully decorated tables. This is my third year to take photos for Jubilee. Last year, I helped decorate a table, but this was my first year to really take on a lead role. I decided to go with a DALLAS COWBOYS theme, which was easy because the only thing I bought speciifcally for this event was the party favors. I put my favorite candy in all the cups. $100 dollars if you can guess correctly. My sister Tasha and friend, Tonya helped me arrange the table. 

The reason why there is no silverware is because we don't eat off the pretty plates or use fancy silverware. When the food arrives at the table it's on a clear plastic plate and there is also plasticware. Easy clean-up!

Some people chose to bring their own silverware, show-offs (kidding) :)

I kind of love this patriotic theme.
 
 
Trey asked me if there is an award for best decorated table. There is not. It's all in good fun, no competition.

Journey Kids is the theme for the Children's Ministry

 
If Cheyenne was there, I know she would love this table. PINK. When she gets older I can't wait to take her to things like this.


Jubilee of Tables - TABLE

My friend who decorated this table said she bought the bulk of these items on clearance for like -5 dollars or something, ok slight exaggeration, but it was all on major sale.

You guys, we had the most random and funny ladies as entertainers. I don't recall their stage names, but I think I'm going to refer to the lady in the orange as squirrel lady. Erin and Krista "volunteered" to demonstrate some squirrel fashion and decor ideas.

For participating they both walked away with some squirrel swag.

I had so much fun leading up to JOT and during the event. I'm already thinking about next year. Do you have any ideas for a table theme? I'd love to hear them. 

My Week in Photos

A little weekday date with Daddy.

Trey checking out his Grand Theft Auto map. He pre-ordered the latest GTA and picked it up as soon as he got back from Kansas. Boys....

The kids celebrated Pirate Day at Krispy Kreme. Free Donuts for dressing up like a pirate. Mrs. Amanda took them, while I was at work.
 
If you spend a lot of time with someone they are bound to annoy you. As much as these little ones agitate each other, they sure like to get cozy on the recliner.

It's a known fact, ballerinas play with ballerinas.

While Trey was in Kansas watching the Cowboys game, we were watching it at the house. Notice the cheerleader in the middle.

Work gave me a CLEAR Wireless hotspot. It's perfect for conferences or you know....when I need to stream strawberry shortcake at the doctors office.

When I'm not eating, I'm watching shows about food.

Dakota is almost 100% over her sickness. I may have to change the batteries on her snot sucker, soon. We used it a lot!

Sickness, Arrowhead Stadium & Royals Mascot Taunt Cowboys Fans

Sunday night was a rough night for Dakota. She tossed and turned and cried on and off all night. Monday, I had a scheduled 15 month appointment. The doctor confirmed an ear infection. Last night, she wasn't cranky, but she wanted me to hold her and she wanted to nurse longer than usual. She's not the only one feeling down. Amanda's kiddos are dealing with sickness and Chey has also been dealing with allergies. It's just that time of year.

 
Here is a little snippet on what's going on with Dakota at 66 Weeks. She currently weighs 23 pounds. She loves climbing on the sofa and dancing.

Here is my training from last week. It's been really nice training on campus during my lunch break. It's keeping me consistent. Since, Trey was out of town, I decided not to do a long run, since my only option was the treadmill. Instead of running long, I joined some friends for a group exercise. I'll write about that in another post.

While, I've been holding down the fort, Trey's been having a lot of fun...

He's been mingling with cheerleaders. Seeing his hands to his side there, make me laugh! Haha! Chey was so jealous, when I showed her this photo. She pouted and said, "I want to see them!" If you know of any Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders appearances, let me know.

The guys had great seats at Arrowhead.

Last night, they went to the Kansas Royals Baseball game.

The guys had on Cowboys shirts. The Royals mascot taunted them for that.

Trey in Kansas for the Cowboys Game

This morning Trey flew to Kansas City. He will be at the Cowboys Game at Arrowhead Stadium, tomorrow. He's traveling with his co-worker Chris and Chris' Dad.

I'm happy that Trey gets to spend time with the boys, but I'm a little jealous. :)
He went to the Dallas Cowboys meet and greet and met offensive tackle, Tyrone Smith. I am 5'4 and Trey is a head taller than me, so to me, Trey looks tiny standing next to Tyrone.

The guys are staying at the same hotel as the team. Here are a few pictures Trey took, just as the team arrived.

I think this is Sean Lee

Trey tried on the 27th Super Bowl Ring.
Fist bump. I hope they beat the chiefs tomorrow!
