Ole Miss - Auburn Weekend

I flew out of Lubbock last Wednesday 
headed to Shreveport for the night for the Revel 
and to ride with Dad on Thursday to Oxford
since mom had stayed in Tupelo for the week. 

Can't stop in Shreveport 
and not get a Humphrey, 
yummy!! 

And of course a delicious Gyro at the Revel

Dad and I left Thursday am 
and drove straight to Tupelo to get Mom. 

Blake's folks drove to Lubbock Wednesday night 
and caught a flight to Memphis Thursday morning. 

Once we all arrived in Oxford 
we headed to the Snackbar for supper. 
mike, mary lou, blake, me, val and gil 
 We woke up Friday morning and hit the Square. 
We wandered around until 11:30 when Ajax opened 
and we ate some delicious lunch!! 

That afternoon we decided to do the 
Double Decker
bus tour of Oxford. 
It was really informative 
and a fun thing to do, 
plus we got to sit the whole time!!! 

On the double decker....

The game was at 11am Saturday morning; 
early but so worth it....
We finally WON a game!!

Hotty Toddy!
Murphy loved eating Ice's popcorn; almost ate the whole box!
The Garrett's 
After the game and a couple of hours of Grovin' 
we headed back to the hotel breakfast room. 

Murphy and Blake played, 
we all visited and 
ordered Abner's for supper.

Sunday am we woke up early 
and were on the road to the airport by 8:15. 

Long story short, 
American cancelled my flight so I was stranded in Memphis. 
I was told I could get a ticket for $800. 
Considering I bought a ticket for $500 back in July, 
I kindly declined 
and called the parents. 

Waiting for my ride....
all I need is a cardboard sign that says "Lubbock" 
They came and picked me up, 
completely the wrong direction they were going, 
and drove me to Little Rock 
where I caught a $300 
Southwest flight that night back home. 

American will be receiving a letter from me next week! 

 Cutest little faces in the world greeting me at the airport 
when I finally arrived home 13 hours later.....
Boone, RHETT, Crockett and Blake 
 And this little cutie...

 We had a wonderful weekend 
that American tried to ruin on Sunday! 

I wished we lived closer to Oxford 
as I always LOVE going back. 

I'm so glad the in-laws got to go experience 
"God's Country". 

Until next year....


Growin' Up

My sweet little guys are growing up so fast. 

Here they are just 5 short months ago...

 And just because they were so gosh darn cute (and tiny).....

Dog Sitting Bernie

Blake's buddy Paul got a new puppy a few weeks ago
and needed us to dog sit while he was in San Antonio for ATCE. 

 Meet Bernie...

Bernie is a french bulldog, boston terrier mix. 
He is so ugly he's almost cute. 

We enjoyed his compnay 
but were not sad to see him go; 
3 dogs and a cat is enough!!! 

Here he is chewing on RHETT's tail...

This is what everyone in our house felt like Wednesday 
when Bernie left......

Fun Football Saturdays

It's fun living in a college town with a decent football team. 

We've lucked out this season 
and been offered tickets to 2 of the home games. 

Our first game of the season to attend was against.....
I can not remember, ha! 

But here we are at the SPE tailgate...

SPE moved their tailgate this year to the new Business school parking lot 
and as fate would have it, 
our other friends tailgate is right beside theirs!!

It's so nice we get to hangout with all of friends 
without having to walk around campus!! 

Blake and the boys...
Joesph, Matthew, Blake and Jake
The Red Raiders played Iowa State in Iowa this year. 
Tiny and Fat Daddy were going to Nick's to watch the game 
and invited us to go with them. 
We had so much fun with them
plus the Red Raiders won! 

Our second game of the season was the Oklahoma game. 
Lubbock had a random cold snap that weekend 
and the temps dropped into the low to mid 30's. 

We were freezing at the tailgate 
and throughout the entire game.  

At halftime, 
the Red Raiders were down big so we decided to head home, 
warm up and get ready for the Rebels to play!
Brittney, Holli and I 
 There's not another home game for a few weeks 
so we will rest up and get ready for UT 
the first weekend of November.  

Happy Fall Y'all
