mom asks "what's up with your blog"

SO, It's been awhile!!! Quick catch up...



Me and Lee, Scott's little brother, went to Wichita Falls to visit.. hmm about a month ago!? We ate, shopped (imagine that) and went to see Law Abiding Citizen. It was awesome! Can't wait to see it again



I went to Amber's birthday party with Sancha at Park Place.. Amber is Sancha's cousin, but also one of my friends from church!






we made a very quick trip to conway to see woody (paul's friend) play. He plays for Texas State San Marcos. They beat UCA in a very close game! I can't remember the score, but it was a close and exciting game!





Jac and Josh are officially THE THANE'S! We had rehearsal dinner at Park Place. Scott got in town right when the dinner was over. Us girls went to Timothy's for a bachelorette party and the guys went to Ice House. Scott met up with the guys then us girls met up with them later. Scott and I took a picture of us when we got home. It was his first time home in 2 months! He said it felt weird coming in our house. I told Roy that (our friend from church who was in Iraq for a year) and he said when he got home he went all through the house and opened every drawer and closet and just roamed around trying to get to know his home again. I can't imagine! It was so nice having my hubby in our house for a weekend.. made it a home again!





Scott's family came over Saturday for lunch. Scott was dying to see Ashtyn. She is so much fun and loves her Uncle Scotty! We had a great visit.






OH YES-we had fun at the wedding! Jawbone played and they were so much fun!!! Scott and I CUT-A-RUG!!! Let me tell you.. we LOVE to dance! :) It was the best weekend!

Weekend at home before Wichita Falls again :)

I got to see the Mentzel's this weekend! Molly is getting so big and her sweet smile melts my heart! Katie and Erik are so blessed to have such a sweet little angel. Katie dressed Molly in her A&M outfit for Daddy since they were playing that night, but I personally think she looks best in purple and gold! :) Gotta take momma's side. Whatever she is wearing, she is ADORABLE!





Sunday I went with Mom, Dad and Luke to Caddo Lake then to Shreveport to see Uncle David. He was in a really bad car wreck about 2 weeks ago. He was hit by a Mack truck that ran a red light and broke his collar bone and shattered his knee. He had to have surgery on his knee and they had to put plates, screws and fake bone to "re-build" it. The car looked terrible in the pictures and the paramedics said he lucky to come out alive and not more injured than what he was. I was so glad I got to go see him because he has been weighing heavy on my heart these past two weeks. He has more energy than a 3 year old and I just can't imagine of all people, Uncle Dave having to lay around in pain all day. It's just so sad to see him in pain and bound to a wheelchair. He won't be able to go back to work for about 2 months so please keep them in your prayers. Him and Aunt Martha are troopers though, they have alot of faith and know God will get them through this tough time.

Since God decided to send a flood to Texas over the past couple of weeks, we had to go check on the lakehouse to see what was going on down there. Not that it really matters because the place has been flooded serveral times before and everyone in the family is just ready to tear the thing down and start all over but Grandma Betty would just die if she didn't have the lakehouse. So, we went down there and we couldn't even get down the street! From the point where I took these pictures our lakehouse is about a mile to a mile 1/2 down the road. There were guys in paddle boats that went all the way down then guys going down the lake in their boats that we talked to and they said our cabin was flooded. What can ya do?

I've been M.I.A.! My internet was down when I got back for Wichita Falls and I finally sucked it up and called windstream last night to get it back up and running! I hate calling them because they are always so unfriendly and make me feel like an idiot (which I am when it comes to computers!) but I got it all fixed up now.
I had a blast during my 5 days with Scott. He was off on Monday so we got to enjoy a three day weekend together! It was wonderful. We seriously did nothing but EAT and SHOP! We found some great deals and some fun new resturants. We also went downtown to some cool antique shops. We LOVE roaming around and digging through peoples old junk.
Scott's brother, Lee, is going with me this weekend and we plan on hitting up the good eating spots again. :)




This antique store is in an old bank and this is the original vault door. It was huge!


Do I look serious about these ribs? Because I was!!! This place was a DUMP on the outside and looked like a run down bar but the BBQ was delish!


Scott with his extra large beer at a local burger joint we discovered.


El Gordo's is a Mexican resturant downtown we went to after antique shopping all morning.

This is the kind of plane Scott will be working on once he gets back home and has drill on weekends at Barksdale. I can't remember what it's called. But it looks MEAN!

hog wild honey do!

We had a shower for Josh Thane and Jaclyn Howry Saturday night during the Arkansas vs. A&M game. We had a blast! Great food, great company and an even greater game!!! WOOO PIG SOOOIEEEE! Everyone at the party was a hog fan, except 2, one LSU and the other, A&M. So, in the end everyone was happy but the A&M fan. Josh and Jac are getting married November 14th.. she's going to make a beautiful bride! And Josh is going to be an awesome husband. Enjoy the pics :)






Gettin' ready to CALL THE HOGS!

girl time with the new's!

My cousin, Jennifer, and her little girl, Katy, came to visit me last week. We had alot of fun! They got in town Tuesday afternoon and we met over at Mom and Dad's for dinner. Paul and Luke were home so we all got to hang out and visit and play with Katy. About 15 minutes before we left mom and dad's, Katy was playing on the recliner that mom was sitting in and she jumped off and landed on her arm, on top of my high heel shoe that was laying on the floor. (she had been prancing around in them earlier) She cried pretty bad but it didn't look like it was that bad and her arm wasn't swollen, so we carried on. Well, when we got home and gave her a bath, she wouldn't use her arm for anything and was crying that it hurt. Jennifer knew it wasn't like Katy to let a little pain slow her down so we started to worry that something was wrong. So, their first night of vacation, we were at Heatlh Care Express at 10 o'clock at night. Luckily, the doctor said that he thought it was dislocated(at her elbow) he pulled on it, x-rayed it and said if she didn't feel better in the morning it may be a sprain. Thank God the sweet girl felt brand new the next morning! So, it must have been dislocated and the doctor popped it back in place. He said he was hard to tell on toddlers if it's out of socket because their bones aren't fully developed yet.

I took off work Wednesday and Thursday to be with them. Both days the weather was beautiful! We went to Ironwood Wednesday for lunch, sat outside and let Katy play in the sand box, then to the park. Katy fed the ducks and ran around everywhere. She loved it! We took a nap, watched Under the Tuscan Sun, played with Katy, ate dinner and just hung around the house. Wednesday, we went shopping at BJaxx and B Hive, went to Starbucks for a treat then back by mom and dad's to visit with them some more. I think Katy is going to grow up to be a shoe designer, she LOVES shoes!!









She loves my shoes! She stayed enertained for hours in my closet!

We put this big dishtowel on her like a cape then she wanted it tied up some more and she couldn't move her arms. It was hilarious watching her walk in heels like this!
