alotta catching up to do

well, due to high prices, our 18 years of season tickets to the aggie games are coming to an end.  so, this post is a last hoo-rah to the 2013 season. 

that would be deneise's thumb and lemon-chill spoon photo bombing an other-wise romantic pic

bbq cookoff

we had such a great time at the bbq cookoff last year that leanne and rex wanted to come back again.  we all loved going around and sampling fabulous items such as ribs, chicken, home-made tortillas, pulled pork, brisket and dutch oven sweet bread.

after the cook-off, we went home and watched 3 football games, ate some wings, calzones, kettle corn and these fantastic cupcakes.

reese went to her first junior high dance on Friday. 

it was a Halloween dance and they were encouraged to wear costumes.

she went as hermoine granger and her bff went as katniss everdeen.  apparently, they danced all night...but not with any boys!

place your bets

 when we started building the tree house, colin and i made a wager regarding which of our children would be the first to figure out that they could jump off the fort and on to the trampoline.  and the first one to jump was......reese

                           

and jack was quick to follow

mackenzie eventually jumped, but there was no camera nearby
