Sneak Peek

John wanted to get our pictures taken for a Christmas card this year.

I was soooo apprehensive, I think because I am so critcal of myself and to see a picture of myself makes it even worse. I was so surprised because we had the hardest time choosing the pictures we liked, for the most part they all turned out soooo good. As soon as we get them back ill be sending out those Christmas cards!

It took a lot of convincing but he finally did it....sooo here are a couple of our favs.....

What will they think of next!?!?!?

John and I ventured to the State Fair of Texas on Friday. He got two free tickets from work and we just couldnt pass it up!
We has so much fun, of course with my camera missing you will just have to take my word for it....
Our mission, well really Johns mission, was to try the Chicken Fried Bacon. We couldnt find the stand that was selling it at first but after walking the entire fair ground we finally saw the long long line and dozens of men salivating, we knew that had to be the place! After John got his hands on his personal serving I was lucky enought to get a tiny sample. Wow that stuff was rich....like a heart attack waiting to happen, but so good =)
We saw Jessica Simpson sing a couple of songs (thanks hubby) we even saw Tony Romo in the stands. Soon it was time for dessert...how is a girl to choose fried oreos, fried marshmellows, good ole fashion funnel cake, fried coke, fried snickers bar....really the options were endless. I finally settled on fried oreos...Im with Crystal AMAZING. Whoever thought an oreo could get any better, fried with powdered sugar! After we stuffed our faces we played some of the carni games...no big winnings but we had a blast. It was Johns first time at the fair and Im pretty sure we will be making a trip every year!!

MIA

Since the beginning of September my camera has been missing. It is not like to to misplace things or not remember where I might have stashed it but I have searched and searched and it is no where to be found =(
Since I am missing so many GREAT photo opportunities it must be replaced soon. Any suggestions, because I am totally stumped on what to buy?

Summer Fun

Story time at Barnes and Noble.

The Frisco Water park. Tyler loves this place, actually thats a lie we all love going =)

Its the perfect place for him because the water is only about 12 inches deep so he can crawl on his tummy and his head is still above the water.

Even Minnie and Nelson are enjoying the summer....new outfits and all =)

Cooling off with a bath!!
