perfect weather....

for the ZOO!! tomorrow will be our THIRD time in the last week :) emery LOVES it!! she has been before in her little car seat stroller...but now she is in the umbrella stroller...looking @ the animals just like ellis and beckett...

she sported her animal print shorts for the occassion...

tigers...

her hair held the bow the whole time....

the leaders of the pack...

we are taking full advantage of this amazing weather!

at least the unicorns won...

we went to dallas for the TX-OU game on saturday...and even though the game didn't turn out to be exactly what we were hoping for, it was so good to be back :) i hadn't been since i was pregnant with ellis. brandon, on the other hand, hasn't missed one in 15 years or something like that. how lovely for him. we got to the state fair around 11, giving us 3 full hours to drink beer, eat weird food, and people watch. and my god there is great people watching!!! all people from oklahoma of course :)

fried pepperoni pizza...

fried butter...

the weather was SO perfect...

the next two pictures are kinda funny...they are taken 10 seconds apart...1st OU's side:

and Texas:

they get to the game WAY before we do. we like to stay at the fair drinking beer until the last possible minute i guess??? you can see the dividing line in the picture above.

anyways...the day wasn't a total bust. the unicorns won...and ellis scored 3 goaaaaaaals!! of course, we weren't there to see it! parents of the year :)

october

to celebrate the 1st day of october, ellis wore this headband:

and these tights:

cute right?

the boys

it may suck to be the "middle child"...but it does not suck to be the only boy. beckett has a lifetime of football, golf, hunting, & fishing ahead of him. today he is at the texans game with his dad. beckett was so THRILLED to be going. though he was a little confused as to why he was putting on blue instead of orange for football :) but whatevs...they hit two tailgates and are in the game as i type. let's hope this one turns out better than the horns game yesterday. boooo!

thanks for the tix bo :)

matching longhorns

too cute for words huh?? we are off to horns watching party today...dressed in our gameday best :) we opted out of going to austin for the game...can you believe it!?!

hello blue eyes...

hook 'em!!

the unicorns

the unicorns had their first soccer game on saturday. they won :) like i said before...cute and good! one of the moms ordered the patch below for their uniforms. i brought my needle and thread with me in the car on the way to the game (i was running behind)...it looks as though i need a refresher course in sewing ms. beth!!!

pep talk...she is #8...

the leaman girls came to show their support...they even had signs!!!

brother loves to kick back and cheer ellis on...he is so proud!!

cute as can be :)

and this is random but i don't want to forget...i set an outfit out for ellis to wear to MOPS the other day. when she saw it she said "actually mom, i had something with a little more pizzazz in mind". yes...PIZZAZZ!!!!

damn it feels good to be a longhorn
