The Kids

Bailey & Jack :) Our kids :) Aren't they the cutest things ever??? We think so! I took this picture of both of them VERY early so they are lacking on beauty sleep and both of them loook rather grumpy :)

Trick or Treat!

Happy Halloween!!!

Can We Say FOOTBALL!?!?!?!

GO CHARGERS!!!! GO CHARGERS!!!! GO CHARGERS!!!! Thanks to Tomlinson's 3 touch downs, we totally stomped all over the St. Louis Ram's on Sunday 38-24! I can't wait to see what we have in store for the Cleveland Brown's next Sunday!!! Props has to go out to the Raiders for winning their first game of the season! (Daron is probably crying and wearing all black to celebrate) - Enjoy it while you can!!! The Broncos BARELY lost to the Colts 31-34 but played one of the best games this season! I know for sure they will win against Pittsburgh next Sunday with Chip cheering them on! The Saints lost 22-35 against Baltimore yesterday but have the chance to prove what New Orleans is made of against Tampa Bay next Sunday! The Patriots play tonight against the Vikings and will play the Colts next Sunday - can't wait to see what happens on these 2 games!

Surprises & Wedding Rings!!!

Turns out my husband is as sneaky as he is sweet!! Saturday Chip surprised me with this beauty as my wedding ring! I couldn't love anything more...other than him of course! When we married almost 5 years ago, he promised he would replace the ring we were married with. We both always wanted something old and vintage looking as well as a colored stone and this just far exceeded my expectations! It's everything I dreamed of and more!!! For me, it's just as unique as Chip and I :)

We Have Curtains!

Thank goodness someone in my family is talented!! My mom really worked hard to save us a fortune by making our living room curtains for us! It's hard to see the pin stripe detail in them but they are beautiful and we are happy to finally have curtains!!

Save The Ta*Tas!!!

This is the best website! You have to check it out!! www.savethetatas.com I ordered the above shirt in white and I love it!!! Plus, it's for a great cause!! A portion of all items bought is donated to breast cancer...So, you get a cute and funny shirt and are saving ta*tas!!!

A New Fan

If you can't beat 'em.....join!!! :) Between all the hootin' and hollerin' over the Broncos, the Raiders, the Saints and who could forget the Patriots, I've decided to get in on the action and get my own team!!! WooHoo!! GO CHARGERS! That's right! I've studied their stats and I'm impressed! I feel confident that I've picked a fantastic team and who loves Cali more than me?!?!?! :) So gentlemen and ladies....you have a new team to beat and I finally have a reason to look forward to game day! GO CHARGERS!!!!

Wine, Wine and More Wine!

We finally went to dinner at Japaniero's! The food was excellent - there was an accident on the way to the restaurant and by the time we had finally arrived at dinner, we had already been in the car for over an hour! Needless to say, we were all nice starving! After eating, we headed over to the Vineyard and proceeded to try several bottles of wine and champagne! Chip and Kirk ran into an old high school friend from Kingwood and we were having so much fun drinking wine out under the stars that we ended up closing the place down! :) We even took 2 wine glasses and our last bottle as a little momento from our fabulous evening!

Ever Have One Of Those Days????

Ever have one of those days when you feel like this? I thought so :) Well, this is how my week has been going so far :)

Sarah's 29th Birthday

Wow! Can you believe it??? I'm going to be the BIG 3 O next year!!! Well this is me at work :) The guys in the finance department were nice enough to help me blow my diet completely out of the water by ordering me 2 Tres Leches cakes!!! That's them on the table and yes, they were as fantastic as they look!!! All of this after an incredible lunch at Lupe Tortillas!!! I even wore the hat :) I'm such a good sport :) I figure, might as well act like I'm in my 20's this year since next year I won't have an excuse!! :)

Astros Game

Denise, Kirk, Chip & I all went to the Astro's Game on July 27, 2006 - Kirk was the only one brave enough to take a picture with me :) Don't we look happy???

RIP Mickey

The exterminator came to the house this morning and has laid yet more sticky traps around the house. This time, I got a more "in detail" explanation of what happens when a mouse runs across these things which is apparently really gross. Anyway, it was either this or spray in the attack and hope he didn't pass away in our walls :) This time around it was obvious where he has been - we found droppings everywhere! He's clearly been really hungry as he's been in our pantry eating our food a lot....Anyway, everyone seems fairly confident that I should catch him sometime this week. So RIP Mickey Mouse :)

Visiting D.C.

That's right! Chip, Corey and Kirk took Washington D.C. by storm and the bars in Pentagon City and Old Town Virginia have never been the same! After a few nights of touring the local bars and waiting out the rainy weather, they were off to do the tours! The White House, Pentagon, Arlington cemetery, Smithsonian...nothing was off limits! After 4 days and 3 nights in our nation's capital, they all came home tired but educated men!!

Kanabians?

Ahhhh to my long lost Kanabian friends...Daron & Jen :) I miss ya'll so much! The hunt for replacements for ya'll is not going as well as I had hoped. I do however enjoy all of our little letters back and forth to each other :) I think I was 9 yrs old the last time I had a pen pal :) Thank you for the special little gift included in the letter. Between that and the pink, sparkly U that you sent me on my birthday, my keychain is begining to look like a Kanab/Daron & Jen shrine! The good news is that football, much like at your house, has once again taken over our lives...Not to mention, I’m equally as pumped that it seems to be on every day of the week now! Really, I live for these months…it’s the PERFECT excuse to feed my shopping habit and now, with football on ALL the time – well, you do the math...We are becoming broke but I’m looking fantastic!
I can’t believe people are complaining about the dogs and that you have to register them with the city! More importantly, I didn’t know Kanab was a city (laughing!) I thought it was a town?? Kidding! Even more so, I’m sad that Rodeo and Zeena will no longer be Houstonians but "official" Kanabians?? Is that what ya’ll are called????
As usual, we still really aren’t experiencing much fall weather. We dropped to like 88 for 3 days in a row but we’re still holding strong at 90’s for the most part! Lucky us! Between all the evacuees from Louisiana, the steamy hot fall weather and the lovely scenery, Houston is really becoming just a dream place to live and I’m happy that we will be here till we die.
It's hard to believe ya'll would rather live there then here with us :)
