Dad & Mom...aka Uncle Jon & Aunt Emily

We made our first trip to Ft. Worth this weekend to visit Ben, Brooke and the girls. This was my first time to see Ava and Macy since visiting them in the hospital back in January. I had my hugs and kisses ready to go. They are the best 9 month old nieces! They each have their own personalities and are tons of fun to flip and tickle. Hopefully now that they are fellow Texans, we will get lots of opportunities to watch them grow.


We took a trip to the Ft. Worth Stockyards and the girls played footsie as I loaded up on chocolate truffles and fudge.

keeping up with the Wyatt's

Here are a few things Baby Wyatt and I have been doing to stay busy...really busy.

Going to Tech Football games...

Volunteering over 24 hours at the Panhandle South Plains Fair in the Ambucs restaurant. Fries anyone?

Participating in the annual Hub City BBQ Cookoff with the South Plains Mall team. We didn't earn the coveted 'Best Booth' award but our brisket came in 3rd.

rain or shine

Lubbock experienced 8+ inches of rain in less than 24 hours. Thanks Tropical Depression Lowell. The Mayor issued a State of Emergency and all the schools closed. And I thought it was a joke when the schools in Little Rock closed for a few flakes! We are slowly drying out. Even with all the rain, it was a football weekend and football must go on.
Jon and I are really enjoying our season Tech Football tickets. We managed to get great seats a few days before the stadium was sold out. We are perfecting our game day routine and picking out our favorite usually forbidden concessions. I am getting ready to be one of those fans who lugs around a seat cushion because Baby Wyatt isn't going to tolerate the metal seats too much longer. Speaking of Baby Wyatt, I have my next doctor's appointment on October 1 to finally meet my actual doctor. We are having a bit of an issue with our appointment times/days but hopefully things will work out. I tried to find a doctor who saw OB patients in the afternoons so Jon would have the best chance of being able to join us once and a while and we were all set with a doctor who was in the office on Friday afternoons. Key word in that last sentence, "were". I got a letter on Friday saying he was now working on Wednesday mornings only. Bummer!

Dad & Mom aka He-Man & She-ra

We had a wonderful time hosting a superhero surprise birthday party for a good friend this weekend. Everyone did a great job with their costumes and the guest of honor was truly surprised. I spent way too long working on our He-Man and She-ra garb but it was all worth it in the end.
