America's Team... In Action!

Lance's dad was so sweet and gave us three tickets to the cowboys preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers at the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium... We asked Lance's roommate Drew, who's from Carrollton, to join us, and he was thrilled to day yes!

This was in the car on the way to the stadium in Arlington

We were quite a ways away-- and it was HUGE!

"I pledge allegiance, to the Dallas Cowboys of Texas..."

Before the game... We were all so excited to witness the awesomeness that is the new stadium!

Roommates, mid-game!

I had to keep telling the boys to cover their eyes whenever the cheerleaders were on the big 160' X 72' screen... It's the largest in world. Everything's bigger in Texas!

Lovebirds <3

After the game, we dropped Drew off, and Lance and I went to IHOP-- Because where else would you go for dinner at 11:00 in the evening?!

Our dinner was smiling at us :)

We like each other-- a lot...

we're kind of in love!

Wedded Bliss and a Week of Firsts

My cousin Jaimie met the love of her life, Sean Tanner, and Married him August 14, 2009 in the Mesa, Arizona temple. My mother, sister, niece, and I were lucky enough to fly up to Arizona to help my grandma Christmas shop, and it worked out that we were able to be there for her big day!

Here the newly weds are, coming out of the temple... Her colors were orange and green.

Their pictures were really cute, and I really loved her guest book. It was a book of pictures with some cute quotes, and lots of space for well-wishers to leave their hopeful comments for Jaimie and Sean's future!

This is at the reception. I love this picture of Sophie and her tongue!


Audrey sure did love Uncle Jay and Aunt Danon... He kept getting her neck, and she would just laugh and laugh!

This is Grandma Jones and Aunt Barbara, she is grandma's sister-in-law!

Cooper, Ella, and Sophie were so cute running around the cultural hall together!

As you can tell, it was a pretty big week-- not only for Jaimie, but also for little Audrey! She had her first airplane trip,
her first rice cerial,

her first baby snack (Baby Mum Mums),

and her first time bathing in the big girl bath!

As always, the week came and went way too quickly, and before we knew it, it was time for Audrey's second airplane trip. We had gotten a lot done, and nearly finished shopping for our big long list 75 names when we had to say our goodbyes.

Audrey loving on Papa Bama before we were on our way back to the airport...

And saying goodbye to tick-tock.

Thanks for all the fun times everyone-- We really had a blast!
