Thanksgiving weekend

I tried to put Kendal's nikes on but she said, "no" and went and got her sparkly pink shoes instead.

Reese's 1st Birthday party!

Daddy and Kendal at the zoo

The cooks

We hope you all had a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving holiday. We enjoyed some family time with Grammie, Grandpa and friends.

Friday we decided to do something fun so on a whim went to the zoo. Grammie won the award for best dressed, believe it or not but we didn't see anyone else with a skirt on or Ferragamos! After we left I asked Kendal what her favorite part of the zoo was and she said, "the monkey in the blanket". At the monkey exhibit there was a little monkey playing inside a sheet that the zookeepers obviously had given them to play with apparently Kendal enjoyed watching him hide inside the blanket...ha.

Today we went to Reese's 1st Brithday at the Morgans, can you believe he's already 1? It's time for #3.

Big helper

WOW, Kendal is such a big helper when it comes to helping us with the dogs. As you can see she will just keep feeding Rusty if I don't stop her, it's a good thing Harley's bowl isn't right there because Harley really would eat it all.

Every time we leave the house Kendal loves to give the dogs a treat and put them outside. She carefully holds 1 treat in each hand and says, "here Harley, here Rusty" and hold them out so then can take them from her...it's such a thrill.

Don't be surprised if the next time you see the dogs (and me) are 20 lbs heavier.

Park

Random video

Brian thought you all would enjoy this video....it's hilarious!

Vegas baby Vegas

Love the sweatshirt with the earrings? But hey, fashion faux pauxs happen when you're willing to sacrifice your outfit for comfort...ladies you know what I'm talkin' about.

I'm surprised this picture even remotely came out (which is probably good since I look exhausted)...I had to tell the guy which way the camera faced after pointing it at himself and saying, ready.

This was waiting for us when we got to our room, a great way to start the evening. By the way our room was huge, it had 2 bathrooms, speakers in the bathroom area (which Brian thought was great that he didn't have to miss football while in the shower) and the closet was bigger than ours at home.

Over the weekend my fantastic husband took me on a surprise trip to Vegas. As it turns out he "had" a charity golf tournament to play in so he arranged for my parents to watch Kendal and he whisked me away. Since we didn't have Kendal we were determined to tear up Vegas like we unsuccessfully did several weeks ago when we were there with Kendal for the TCU game. We stayed out late, slept in, had a few adult beverages and gambled...now I know why I don't do this often...or ever. I have to mention while I was losing at "my game," roulette, Brian was on fire...he even bet 8 twice and it hit twice - that's insane. While furthering my losing streak at the craps table I opted for just watching Brian the next night. Thankfully he was winning money while I was losing it. Next time I'll just go straight to the shops and actually get something in return for my money!

A week later

The hostesses (we wish Lara was here)

At Pinnacle Peak, can you believe we got them all to sit still?

Photo De Jour

Okay so I admit I have been slacking a little bit lately here and I apologize. It seems that my week in Tucson sucked all my energy from me but I'm back up and ready to go. Last week I headed to Tucson for Sarah and Michele's #3 to-be baby shower. It was a blast and along the way we had a few other events with "Action Jackson" and "Cousin Cole", Kendal is fasicnated with them and they provide much entertainment!

Vegas

I forgot to post this the other day but last weekend Brian, Kendal and I headed to Vegas to see TCU play UNLV. The Bonjour's were there and we had a wonderful time seeing Vegas with a child (who knew Vegas had more to offer than bars and dance clubs). We went to the aquarium at Mandalay Bay (which I really enjoyed too) and strolled along "The Strip" but we were too early to see any of the light/water shows, I guess it was only 9:00am...and BTW the only people out that early are those with kids (which aren't many) and those energetic overachievers going for a morning run.

Go Frogs!

In honor of tonight, TCU#11 vs. Utah #10

Tonight as Kendal and I were watching the TCU game she said, "Go Defense" with the fist pump and all...then she said, "Hi Superfrog" when she saw him on TV. I can't believe we lost, ugh.

Need a smile today? I do!

Since I am still trying to swallow the election results I thought I would post this picture because it can make anyone smile. Between the expression on Kendal's face, her stance and her shoes that she obviously put on herself I cannot stop laughing.
