Today is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day.

God is in control.

Having Cole has been such a blessing and I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. But, I still get sad sometimes about this little one.
So, if you have a few spare minutes today, say a prayer for all of those who are suffering the loss of a pregnancy or baby.

Little Bastards

Look at what some little bastards (I can't think of anything else to call them) did to our jack-o-lantern...in broad daylight, by the way.





Pissed.

I'm in a fall-ish mood.

What my life has consisted of for the past few days...


...Justin's bow hunting...


...starting to buy Cole some Christmas presents...
SHHH, don't tell him. But, aren't these the cutest things you've ever seen??


...carving pumpkins...


...which is disgusting, by the way...

...the cutest little pumpkin in the world.

He's going to hate me when he's a teenager.

...watching Aggie football. I think Cole might be playing soon...what do you think?

...watching my little guy learn to hold his head up. He gets better every day!

Okay, funny story time...

If you ever want a good laugh, ask my husband about my ability to mis-understand music lyrics. This morning, I had Classic Country playing on the tv music channel. I was just singing and dancing around for Cole. He thinks it's hilarious. If you saw me, you would probably think it was hilarious, too. Anyway, this old Oak Ridge Boys song came on. I haven't heard it in a coon's age (yeah, I said coon's age). Anyway, I wasn't really paying attention to it, but it came to the chorus and I just belted it out, "Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Bar-be-que!" As I turned around, I noticed on the screen it said the name of the song was "Bobbie Sue." Hmm, so that's what they're saying...

Seriously?! WTH?
Oh well, I guess it happened for a reason.

UPDATE:
I just ordered it from Amazon for a lot less...well not a lot, but $50 less. And $50 is $50.

Christmas is coming early!!

Justin and I decided to have Christmas early this year. He wanted to buy a bow so he could have it for hunting season this year, and I decided I wanted this...

He knows I never like to spend money, and it's a very extravagent thing for me to buy (to say the least), but I never buy stuff for myself so...

And, I wanted to have it for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas since it's Cole's first.

Anyway, I am super excited about it. I just hope I can figure it out.

So, Merry Christmas (and Valentine's Day, Anniversary, and birthday for the next few years) to me!

Woo Pig...ugh.

I tell you what...Aggie football is good when it's good, but when it's bad, it's very very bad.

Aggies don't lose, they just run out of time (or so the saying goes). We needed a LOT more time. :) But, that's okay. We had a good time despite the outcome of the game.

Just for those that don't know, beer is $8 at the new stadium. Margaritas, $14. Water, $5. They have $1.2 BILLION to make before they can even break even on the monstrosity that is Dallas Cowboys Stadium.

Speaking of Jerry Jones...how much do you reckon he was paying those refs the other night? :)

On a side note, Cole did very well at his Gammy's. I missed him terribly, though!!

This is Justin, not impressed that I want to take a pic while waiting at a red light.

The weather did my hair no favors, by the way.

Tailgating in the truck...stupid rain.

I could not get over how gargantuan that stinkin' screen is. The little tv on the side is about the size of a normal "jumbo-tron." Probably a little smaller. Insanity. Pure and simple. Everything about that stadium is over the top.

Don't you think it looks like a space station? It should be on Mars, not in Arlington. But, really, is there much difference? I kid. I kid.

Gig 'Em Aggies!

I am so excited!! We are going to watch the Aggies beat the hell outta Arkansas tomorrow in the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium. I really wish we were going to watch them in C/S, but it will be neat to see the new stadium. We've been looking forward to this for months! In fact, we had to find a babysitter for Cole before he was even born! He is going to spend the weekend at his Gammy's.
I miss living in C/S and being able to just pick up and go to the game anytime we felt like it. I miss the atmosphere so much. I really hope that when Cole gets older we can at least take him to a game a year, if not more. I would LOVE to have season tickets, if we lived where we could drive down easier.
I miss C/S period. It's really nice to be closer to family, but after having lived in C/S for the better part of a decade, it kind of became a home. I really hope that Cole loves it there as much as Justin and I do.
I'm such a sap...everytime I'm at a game, I get all choked up watching all the Aggies sway back and forth singing the War Hymn. It's just an amazing experience.
