Labor Day 2010......

We had a really fun opportunity to go and watch my step-brother Chris' football team, the Cedar Hill Longhorn's, play football at Cowboy Stadium! Having never been inside, it was kind of exciting to get to go inside and see this amazing arena. They are correct....there really are no bad seats and the ginormous large screens make it possible to see every detail and re-run of every play! And whoohoo....Chris' team (Chris is one of the coaches btw) won 42 to 41 in overtime!!!! it was a great and very exciting game!!! Of course the best part, other than our team winning, was being with the family!!!!

Happy 4th of July!!!

I love our Country and am always so happy to celebrate the freedoms that we enjoy! We had great meetings at church and a great meeting in RS about our founding fathers etc... then we went to Barbara's family in Burleson to eat great BBQ, baked beans and potato salad the all- American meal, went swimming and then watch a great display of fireworks. We had left over sparklers from Allison's wedding so we took those and all the kids got to play with them including Aileen, which she grabbed right for them.....so we had to be careful that she didn't grab the wrong end!!! At some point over the holiday weekend we spoke several times to our kids in Utah to make sure that they were enjoying the holiday as well and that they knew that we missed them.

Friday night we went to Mansfield to celebrate Barbara's oldest son's 30th Birthday! Hey, wait a minute, I have a daughter turning 30, how does that work....oh, yeah, I started young having my family! We had a great time with lots of laughter and great food once again!

Great weekend!
