A recent conversation with my husband

Cameron: "Guess what? We're the proud new owners of a Bronco!"

Julie: "Excuse me?"

Cameron: "Yeah, I talked this guy out of it."

Julie: "Seriously?"

Cameron: "Yes, it was only $400!"

Julie: "Only $400? Can it be driven?"

Cameron: "Not exactly. The engine is blown. It needs a new one."

Excellent. It is at this point I sort of tuned out to him rambling on about using it for parts for the Bronco his dad recently bought or vice versa because several thoughts popped into my head:

1. Are you sure you talked the guy out of it?
2. Who cares. Better question: what am I going to buy on my $400 shopping spree? Hmmm.....

Days of Thanks

It's so hard to believe that the holiday season is upon us! It is by far my favorite time of year, I just can't believe how quickly this year flew by! It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating Sheridan's first Christmas and birthday! I know, it sounds so cliche but it's true! This year we had the best time with Sheridan because she is at such a fun stage. Everyday she says new words and she loves trying to put her shoes on....most of the time she gets the right shoe with the right foot....but I think it's mostly coincidence. None the less, it's precious!

Anyway, this year for Thanksgiving we went to Temple on Thursday to spend the day with Cameron's family. The picture below is of all of the cousins and our kids. Leah (in the middle) is expecting their second child in May and we are anxiously awaiting to find out if she's having a boy or a girl! My instinct tells me it's a BOY! Kelly and Jason (right) just had their first child, Natalie Paige, on October 8th. She looks just like her dad which seems to be par for the course! When we first got to Aunt Brenda and Uncle Kenneth's house Sheridan was very fussy and clingy....hence why she is not looking towards the camera in the picture below! ;) But after she ate she changed her tuned and entertained us all.

Sheridan thought it was great fun to put on my shoes! We thought it was hilarious!

Reminded me of when my sister and I would put my dad's boots on when we were little!On Friday we celebrated Thanksgiving with my family because Sarah and Cal came into town that morning. The day started off on a good foot when our beloved Aggies beat the hell out TU (yes I meant to say it backwards!) for the second year in a row!!! :) My question was: why didn't we play like this all year??? Hopefully the answer lies within our new coach who will take care of it next year. But back to Thanksgiving. Usually it's just the six of us for Thanksgiving but this year Richard (my mom's brother) and his wife, Jonette, and daughter, Autumn joined us. My dad's mom was also with us. And Jonette's mom and step dad joined us. We had a house full but it was a lot of fun!

Gig'em

I CRACK UP every time I look at this picture. Sheridan really started posing/smiling for the camera this weekend!

Cal and Sarah Sarah read Sheridan some bedtime stories and again...Sheridan posed for the camera!

Happy Halloween!

I only took a few pictures of our little pink poodle on Halloween night. In my defense though, I had to take a ton of pictures because Sheridan was constantly on the move!

This was the 1st and only house we went to b/c Miss Sheridan was a little fussy as the night went onLast year for Halloween our neighbors invited lots of families over for pizza and trick or treating. Since we had such a great time they decided to make it an annual tradition. Most of the kids were Hunter's (our neighbor's son) age and they had a great time trick or treating together and playing in the front yard while we passed out candy.

After everyone else left, the four of us continued to have a good time with a few rounds of Tuaca

Richard & Karen - we had a great time as always! So glad we're neighbors!

Girls night out

On Thursday night Shaunna, Courtney and I had a much needed girls night out and indulged in dinner and a little Austin theatre. We ate at El Chile which I just love! And then we went to see my friend, Zach's latest play called Inherit the Wind at Austin Playhouse. The show was excellent and we had a great evening!
