Happy HALLOWEEN!!!

Oh how I love decorating for the holidays!! Best 3 months of the year are finally here...Halloween, Thanksgiving (plus my wedding anniversary) and Christmas : )

Britney's Back!!

The Britney Spears concert was simply amazing but the best part was hanging out with my bestie, Mindi!! Busy schedules, husbands and babies keep our time pretty limited so I was really excited to hang out together. We decided early on that tonight was the night we were going to get a little intoxicated and believe me we tried. But of course our old lady syndrome kicked in and we only managed to put down about 3-4 beers the entire night, ok ok, I only managed about 1-2 beers. That's ok thou because we had a blast singing along to our favorite Britney songs!! Love you Mindi!! : )

Starting the night off right at Boardroom

Why do we look so awkward??

Jordin Sparks was the opening act


Drinking a cold one waiting for Britney

Let the count down begin...

Britney's Awesome!!

Michelle's 2nd 29th Birthday!!!

My sister-in-law turned 29 again this year and we celebrated by having dinner at Abuelo's which was my first time there and it was yummy. After dinner we all headed back to my parents house to chow down on cake, ice cream and punch. I have to give props to my brother for doing a fantastic job of coordinating Michelle's birthday party...good job bubba!! He invited her best girl friends and their husbands which made it very nice for her. Happy Birthday Michelle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Miss Birthday Girl and me at dinner

Me and guess who...

My wonderful parents and my mom in her new and oh so cute sweater, although you can't tell in this picture

Michelle and Bubba

The infamous salt shaker trick, only I and a few others who will remain nameless know how this trick is performed

Her girly birthday theme

Not exactly the girly skull I requested but it had to do considering this was the bakery's second attempt to get it right...they totally didn't listen to me. Long story....grrrr

Birthday pic

Go COWBOYS!!!

Brent and I were very fortunate to attend the very first game ever played by the Dallas Cowboys on Aug 22, 2009 in the new Cowboy's Stadium. Although it was just a preseason game, you could still feel all the excitement in the air!! We roamed the party deck area, made our way to the Pro Shop and put down several $8 Miller Lite's. Can't wait till we get to come back for the November 22nd game in the field level suites. That's going to be unbelievable!!!!


Watching history in the making

That's one BIG tv

We need to get you a Cowboy flat hat B-rent

Go Romo!!

Kickin it old school...I kind of think its cute

Til next time...

Playa Del Carmen, Mexico

Brent and I went on a much needed vacation this past week to Playa Del Carman, Mexico and it was everything everyone said it would be...basically fantastic!! We did a bunch of lying around, swinging in the hammock admiring the crystal blue waters, napping, strolling down 5th avenue, sipping on margaritas, getting some exercise snorkeling and letting our adventure side come out by zip-lining and driving ATV's through stalagmite caves!!!

Another relaxing day at the resort

Get off your phone B-rent

Brent & I broke the hammock on our balcony when we tried to sit in it together so they brought us a new one. It was a little tight and didn't fit on the hooks so this is Brent trying to be a he-man by stretching it out. That obviously didn't work so they brought us extra rope to tie on the ends


Perfect view from our balcony

Our favorite place


Dinner at Maria - I wore my new señora shirt I bought on 5th avenue

My wonderful hubby...isn't he cute : )
