Cotton Bowl 2015

This year, Dakota and I joined Trey and Cheyenne at the Cotton Bowl game.



Cheyenne had a good time resting her head on my lap.

We took a few pics before leaving the house to go to the game...


Trey's uncle also went with us.

My Week in Photos

Trey got off of work early…he's the boss man now, so I guess he can do stuff like that. He surprised Chey and picked her up early from childcare. He took her to see Lego the movie. She called me at work to tell me how excited she was.

Since Amanda had her baby, last week….
(The kids at the hospital trying to get a peak of Mack…)

My friend Rosa is watching the girls, while I work. She made them homemade tortillas, so obviously my girls love her. Also, new toys to play with…who wouldn't love it?
 
This is how we spent our Super Bowl Sunday.

We baked cupcakes. We got all pinterest fancy (not) and used the box.

I let Chey do most of the mixing. They were delicious.

Trey eating donuts and doing what he does.

According to buzzfeed, if I was a dog, I'd be a pit bull. Ok….

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!

Cotton Bowl Game. A Daddy-Daughter Tradition.

These people are off to watch the Cotton Bowl game at AT&T Stadium.
OSU vs Missouri. Hey, once upon a time we went to an OSU game with our friends.

Before going to the game, they stopped by to say hi. This year, Mom is going to be uncle Bubba's guest. It looks like Dakota and I are going to have a girls night.

Here's a look at Cotton Bowl Through the years:

I think next year, Dakota will be joining them. Daddy-Daughters tradition.

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!

Sleep Eating & Losing to Ole Miss

Dakota likes to multi-task. She can eat and sleep at the same time.

This weekend, Amanda, Drew and her boys watched the Texas game at our place. Her and her husband graduated from ole miss, so when we told them we are TEXAS fans, they were excited to watch the game at our place. There was a lot of trash talking going on. Too bad Trey was not in town to enjoy the company.

In the end, TEXAS lost and Ole Miss won. Dakota was a sad Longhorn.
