Updates...

I'm getting bad at not updating the blog...sorry.  I used to try to post something at least once a week and well, that has NOT been the case.  I will strive to do better in the upcoming weeks.  Especially with the holidays approaching, there will be no shortage of material.  I love that I can finally say that, "...with the holidays approaching!"  We are very excited to experience the holiday season with Brynlynn. 


We recently made a trip back to Lubbock/Midland to visit the family and see all the new real estate!  It had been a few months since our last trip to West Texas, so it was time. 


A little outdoor picnic...the weather was perfect (something I rarely get to say here in SA)!




Cousins! We compared baby pictures and Brynlynn and Eve look very similar at her age.

With her Grandma Linda and Grandpa Clyde before church.

Another staple element of fall is Aggie Football (well, technically college football, I guess...which also includes Tech football in this house).  Despite all that's going on and the possible loss of a great Texas tradition, I will continue to support A&M.  Honestly though, I can't say I'm happy about the move to the SEC, but I get it.  Like everything, it seems, "it's all about the money, money, money."  It will be a different football season though if we don't play TU or Tech...I love traditions, I don't accept changes easily.  What of the fight song? Is that going to stay the same even if we no longer play TU?  So sad to think it's the end of an era...


Moving on (and off my soapbox), Brynlynn shows her team spirit unaffected by recent events!









This is the classic Brynlynn pose.  She does this ALL the time. (Notice her hand-she is always sticking her thumb in the ground waving her fingers back and forth.)

I agree with your feelings on the SEC move. I am sad we will no longer play tu and I hope the fight song remains for traditions sake. I mean, during our college years, this is what we looked forward to every year. I wonder if they will play in pre-conference games. I guess we will see!

Mothers and Daughters

Just a warning, I am standing on my 'soapbox', so turn back now if you don't want to hear my rant of the day. I have strong opinions, so read at your own risk. :) I just watched this video, Mothers and Daughters , and had to share it. I watched a very disturbing episode of Oprah yesterday (the DVR recorded another episode for some reason). I won't go in to details, but despite all of the discussion I was very upset and surprised by the actions of the mother. She was basically the opposite of what a mother should reflect. She offered no love, support, encouragement and in this particular situation protection for any of her children. I particularly like how Elder Ballard mentions what expectations we as women are presented with today. Pointing out how, women are often made to look silly, and objectified. Our roles, that we are divinely given, are continually undermined . Women seek guidance on how we should look, what we should wear etc. from people that really do

What's Fabric?

David's Bridal Highly Educated & Well Informed Employee: Thank you for calling DB. How can I help you? Me: Hi, yes I'm trying to order several yards of fabric. DBHE&WIE: I'm sorry, what? I don't understand you? Me: I'm trying to order some fabric. DBHE&WIF: order what? Me: Fabric. F-A-B-R-I-C (yes, I spelled it out for her just mistakenly thinking this would in some way make the communicating proces easier). DBHE&WIE: I don't know what that is. Me: (stunned, but I'm used to working with stupid people on the phone...here's my attempt to 'dumb it down') the stuff the clothes are made of--cotton, taffeta..? DBHE&WIE: Oh! Oh, I don't know...let me transfer you to alterations. Long story short: alterations first language was NOT English. She transferred me back... Hung up--called another location. They're going to call me back tomorrow to let me know. ps Tanlee-you owe me.

Be Thankful

It's that time of year again!  Time to spend hours cooking/preparing, minutes eating (WAY too much food), all surrounded in the loud, wonderful chaos of family. The food, shopping and preparations can quickly and easily take over and  result in overlooking the real meaning of the holiday. Thanksgiving invites us all to reflect on our many blessings and remember to be grateful.  As you might expect, the things I am most grateful for are those that you can't buy.  This year we welcomed Brynlynn into our home and are SO GRATEFUL for her; that she is here, that she is healthy, that our family is forever.   I'm incredibly grateful for my knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  I'm grateful for the countless blessing He has bestowed upon me and my family.  I am grateful for Brent; for the man and husband that he is and more importantly the father that he is.  I'm so grateful for all of my immediate and extended family...I'm not under any false impression that it'
