gargoyles

isn't she a doll!?!  i had to take a second mortgage on my house to buy the costume, but it was totally worth it (right, Bebe?)

and i even got to wear it as a slutty gargoyle :)  she wasn't happy about it- i had to rent it from her for $5.  the price went up to $7 when she saw i had the tail on too.  

how about miley!?!  she broke the hostesses oven that night twerking on it!

longhorns win! poor sooners!

picture of me and my bro after the HUGE win.  so thrilling to be there!!!  my dad, however, is never welcome back to dallas.  he stayed home for the first time in who knows how many years!?!?  and the horns won :)

it finally happened!!

at just shy of 7 1/2 years old, ellis has lost her first tooth!!!  she was more excited than i have ever seen her...including christmas!!!  she is the last 2nd grader i know of to lose one- VERY big deal :)  she had been working on that little sucker in her bed until she came in around 10 p.m. to present us with the tooth.  you know what that means...pray you have cash in your wallet!  i did (shocking) :)  i then sent a text to a friend who's little girl also lost her first tooth this week (kindergarten) and she replied with "don't forget the tooth fairy dust"....uuuuuuuh...what?  yes.  these days you have to leave $ AND a glitter trail!!!  all of the kids talk about it apparently.  while i am not dumb enough to keep glitter in a house that emery and beckett reside in, i did just recently buy glitter eye liner (don't ask)!!!  so i made glitter "finger prints" all over the $5 bill.  genius, no?  ellis noticed FIRST THING!!!  thanks sharon :) i owe you one!!!

THRILLED LITTLE GIRL!!!  also- the month of september completely escaped from me!  where did it go???  actually, i think i spent the entire month in the car with three different school pick up times.  oh and vegas.  and austin.  and tomorrow....MEXICO!

kindergarten!!!

he is just so dang cute right?!?!  he LOVES...like MAJORLY LOVES kinder!!!  he thinks he is so cool going to the same school ellis attends....happy days are here again!

and then there is ellis.  equally excited about school but seriously thinks she is 13.  the glasses?!?!  bebe took her to neimans...and she could barely stomach the clothes there. she finally decided on this burberry skirt but ONLY if the shirt could come from justice and she could buy a stuffed animal from there.  we were bribing her to wear burberry...something is wrong with this picture

one girl at school asked her if she was blind (lolololol) and her friend alex asked his mom if "she was in hollywood or something".... love it!!  didn't bother ellis a bit...she is cray

agh...i can't stand the cuteness.  the watch.  i die.

SO, now that he is big time...i made him a cup of milk with NO TOP after the first day of school.  fail.  he isn't ready for that...

last day...boooooo :(

i miss sleeping with the windows open!

this was our first of two hikes

the hotel

we then did over 2 miles with the kids...i never thought they would be into it but they LOVED it

after the hike, back to the pool...where i met TAYLOR from real housewives of beverly hills.  i am a HUGE fan of the show so i was loving this majorly

beckett and cousin elizabeth

cuteness

all of these pictures were her idea...not mine

 more hike....pics got out of order!

walking sticks

after the pool we went into beaver creek for dinner and ice skating...which all three kids really liked...me too :)

such a fun trip...i knocked these posts out quick!  had to because KINDERGARTEN starts tomorrow!!!   eeeeeek!!!!!!!

beanos

beanos was really cool...a delicious restaurant in a beautiful setting.  basically the adults have a five course meal while the kids play in the meadow :)  the deer would literally come up to you...
