He Asked, I Said Yes!!!!

Oh Happy Day!

Words can't describe the moment, things said and shared. We are so happy and so blessed! Thanks to all of our sweet friends and family for sharing the joy with us!!

A Sad, Sad Farewell...

I have the bonds to my family's seats at Texas Stadium. They are dated December 1973. So, my parents have pretty much had these seats as long as they've had me. I was born September 1973. This place holds such great memories for my parents, my grandparents, my cousins, my sisters, and our families. And...no matter what, I know I'll still be cheering them on Sunday when they make one last ditch effort for the playoffs vs Philly. I get mad at them, but can't help but love them at the same time. A special thanks to Kim's Redskins for beating Philly yesterday to give us another shot. We'll see what happens....

So Sweet It Is....

HOW 'BOUT THEM COWBOYS????

Cowboys vs. NY Giants, 12/14/08

This is what my night looked like....

Pregame tailgating....

Misty & Beckey, just after Beckey purchased the Cowboys santa hat


Here they come!!!!! Let's go COWBOYS!!!!

Romo to Crayton for the TD!!!

Romo to Deon Anderson...oh yea!!!

OH NO....this is our big chance to hold on, not let them get the ball back! NERVOUS!

T.C. makes it look easy, and we're golden now!!!!!

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY....and our voices are GONE!

Now, that looks beautiful doesn't it????

Only three players were left on the field (in the media infested huddle on the field behind us)...and we stayed until they all went in....

Pretty In Pink!

Kennedy Reese Smith

December 12, 2008

7 lbs. 13 oz., 21 inches

So proud of my little sister, Dina, and how wonderful she did throughout her labor on Friday! I am so glad I was able to be there and help her through the painful part then celebrate the birth of my new little princess neice, Kennedy! She was such a trooper, and as her nurse said, "she makes this look too easy!" She is already such a wonderful mommy, taking care of Kennedy and tending to all her needs. It is such a joy to watch her come into this role as mother....

Right before the contractions started coming strong...

Sisters ~ right before Kennedy was here!

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i felt the same way T.O., i feel your pain....for once, i actually feel your pain....

christmas cupcakes...

We spent the night making Christmas confetti cupcakes. Parker loves getting out his Christmas apron and chef's hat (he used to call himself a "cheffer" - also known as "baker", but he has grown out of that and uses the correct words now). Unfortunately, Tyler feels a bit too old for the dress up garb for cooking....oh well, at least he stayed and helped !

My little "cheffer" HO HO HO

Stirring it all up...

Pouring in the confetti...

The best part, licking the beaters!

Thankful...

Sweet Sam - you can't begin to imagine how joyful this child is - and the abundance
of joy he brings to our lives!

With five boys to protect her, I think she'll be pretty safe!

Just a few reasons why my afternoon was so great yesterday!
