Dallas Cowboys Stadium - Ray's Birthday

Ray's birthday present this year, for his 40th, was a trip down to Dallas to watch the Cowboys play in their new stadium. I hate the Cowboys, but that new stadium was amazing! We toured the stadium Saturday, and went to the game Sunday. Even though it was the Cowboys, it was a lot of fun. I just cheered for Orlando Scandrick, since he's a former BSU Bronco.

Thanksgiving 2009

The first Thanksgiving at our new house, and my very first turkey, ever! Everything turned out great. The kids seemed to have a great time. I still haven't found my camera from moving, so Carrie took these pictures. Somehow, I didn't get any pictures of Luke.

Early Snow Morning

I got up early, because of the snow, so I could get to work on time. Then I realized, I couldn't leave early, I had to wait for Payton to get on the bus. So we spent about a half-hour playing out in the dark, in the snow. Payton had a ball!

Payton: Mom, I have two hearts.

Me: No, honey, you only have one.

Payton: No, I asked Jesus into my heart two times, so I have two.

No arguin' with that logic!

He's a Winner!

Payton bowled in his first bowling tournament Saturday. He was all psyched to win a "trophy." I kept trying to explain to him that someone else may win, and he kept telling me "no." He was insistent that he was going to win. Payton was right, and I was wrong.

Halloween Preview

Payton is so excited to be a NINJA this year!

Kindergarten photo

This is Payton's very first real school photo. Notice the owie's on each side of his nose. He did that the day before school photos, of course. He rubbed Grandma's robe on each side of his nose so much, he gave himself rug burn (or robe burn, as the case may be.)
