Several weekends ago...

Over the weekend -- The Aggies beat Alabama -- oh and, my parents & my grandma came into town.They got in late Friday night, so Saturday, we got to visit. Early Saturday morning, JT & I headed to Abilene to do our monthly grocery shopping, but we got back home before lunch. Then my mom, grandma, the kids and I hopped in the car and headed to Snyder for a little retail therapy on the square. While we were shopping, JT & my dad installed a doggie door in our back porch -- and watched the Aggie football game. I was so excited to come home finish watching the game and see them win.

It is so great not to have to leave the porch door open all the time. This will seriously cut down on the amount of dirt that blows in. The dogs act like they have been using a doggy door for years. In and out they ran.
Saturday night we had dinner together and then the guys watched more football and the girls visited and cleaned up. My mom always makes my house smell just a little better. She also helped me hang several pictures that that still hadnt hung around my house.
Sunday, we had breakfast and just visited around the house, checked out the Sunday paper, and a few other morning things. Then in the afternoon, The girls went to Vickie's and the Wildflower for their Christmas Open House. Im getting excited about Christmas. I got a few Christmas presents and a few other ideas.
After we got back, it was time for them to get back on the road. It is always sad for me to see them go but today I knew that it would only be two weeks before I get to see them again (Lord willing).
We had a great time and I am thankful for everything that we were able to accomplish in such as short time.
Thanks Mom, Dad & Grami!

Happy Anniversary

I got flowers from my husband today for our 7th wedding anniversary. They are so pretty & so fragrant.
I really do love him!

Happy Halloween!

For Halloween this year, we didnt do much, but we did Trick-or-Treat. Lincoln was Reveille  the Aggie dog. He was so cute. We practiced saying "trick-or-treat" and "woof-woof", but of course when we got in front of everyone he wouldnt say a thing. Oh well, maybe next year. 

First, we went to Aunt Francis & Uncle Gary's, then we went to our friends house, next we did the Trunk-or-Treat at the Baptist church in Roscoe, and finally we went to Memaw's Nursing Home for some candy and to show off his costume. Then we came home. That was plenty. We were hot & tired. 

He seemed to have a great time for his first time trick-or-treating! 

Looking forward to next year! 

Love me some...

Aaron Watson!!!
If I had to be stranded somewhere with only one person's music, it would be Aaron Watson!
I have really enjoyed his music and this CD really weaves his faith through his music and I really love that about him!
This is definitely a must add to your collection.

Sunday!

I love this face!

Tonight we went for a walk and the weather was just perfect.

Here is Rosie tuckered out after our walk, her run :)

Oh yeah, last Sunday afternoon Lincoln & I planted Brussels sprouts, lettuce, spinach & musclin in the front flower beds. I did not want to plant corn but Lincoln saw the corn on the package and was pretty insistent that we plant some...
I have a few sprouts up (like three) and he has two corn sprouts already up. Looks like he might get his daddy's green thumb after all :)

Hope your Sunday was as great as mine! 

What a beautiful day!

Today has been a great day! The weather is beautiful- my perfect weather kind of day- 83 for the high & 60 for the low.

It won't be long before cotton strippers start revving their engines in our area.

This is my favorite time if year!
Bath & body works candle called  Leaves and Starbucks Pumpkin Spiced Latte and my family all equal the essence of fall!

All in a day with Mom

Saturday, Lincoln got up at 7am. So we started our Saturday early. We cooked breakfast, did laundry, cleaned a few other things around the house and then at noon we left for Abilene to go to a computer auction. After that, we had lunch at chik-fil-a --which Lincoln loved! Then to hobby lobby, target, fuel for the car and Starbucks (with my giftcard) for a pumpkin spices latte.
We had a great time together.
We made it home in time to cook grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner and enjoyed the cool weather the rest of the evening.
Looks like I wore Lincoln out shopping. He was great in all the stores! Every one looks at him & says how cute he is. Of course, it makes me so proud! :)
It was a good day!
