Yellow Leaves

Jason and I were in Breckenridge this weekend.  The weather was absolutely perfect and beautiful. 

And as always happens when you have too much fun, you never get pictures.

I did get a few pictures of how pretty the leaves look. 

And I got one picture of us with Scott and Debbie (the reason we have too much fun). 

Puppy Love

We love a new puppy around here so much we can hardly stand it.

So when Sean got a new puppy this weekend, I told his mom, Wendy, that the only way I would let her pick Reed up to play was if their new puppy came too!

Meet 8 week old, Lolly Rose 

Oh my cuteness! 

Just Fine

Before you get upset that Kyle and Reed weren't at the A&M game, they chose not to go.

They spent the evening with Granny Sherry, and as you can see, were doing just fine. 

He "Didn't Hate It"

Jason, JR, Jason's friend, Jay (who set Jason and me up, btw) and I went to the Clemson/A&M game on Saturday.

JR has had a deep hatred of all things A&M for awhile now and only wanted to go because he is a big Clemson fan. 

But going to College Station with 2 Aggies tends to sway young minds, and after JR's trip he "doesn't hate A&M anymore."  (He was even rooting for them at the game...something I've never been able to bring myself to do.)

After the tour of all the places the guys lived, we ate at Layne's Chicken Fingers.

Then it was off to the Dixie Chicken, which is where I think he really got swayed. 

He even wanted a T-shirt! 

The game was fun, but it also helped that we had some fancy pants club level seats. 

And though I don't think A&M will ever be JR's first choice, it's nice to have him "not hate it" anymore.

Duck, Duck, Not Goose

Kyle and I were super excited to bump in to a group of very tame ducks. 

They were not nearly as impressed with us since we didn't have any food for them. 

Def Leppard!

I can now say I have seen all my favorite 80's hair bands in concert.

I know it's shocking, but I had never seen Def Leppard live, and I wasn't about to miss them this time.

I'm not sure if you'd call my outfit a costume or not, but my hat was definitely me trying to be both J.Lo and Steven Tyler. 

I had the best time and saw tons of people I knew, but I only got a few pictures.  

Hamster Funeral

Reed's hamster, Tickle, died this weekend. 

Jason and Reed buried her and we had a short service.

Reed played Amazing Grace on his recorder, which was so very sweet.

But as you can see by the smile on Jason's face, somebody in the family might have gotten the giggles at the funeral.

I just couldn't help it, Reed does such a legit good job on Amazing Grace it just made me crack up that we were having such a nice service for a hamster.

Rest in Peace, Tickle.
