Peanut strikes.....

This is the shirt that Ginger got and after talking to her at Thanksgiving I am so glad I ordered it!!!!

So when we went on our ladies trip to San Antonio, I convinced Ginger to purchase this very very cute top from The Buckle, as you all know this is one of my favorite stores to shop in...Had they had my size that day I would have bought the same top but they didn't but ever since then I have been thinking of that darn top...Last week I was doing my normal routine and looking to see what was new on their website and I saw it on there and I just decided I needed it along with a new pair of jeans and two other tops!!! Well I didn't need them I just wanted them! As you all already know my jeans are like my children I just love them and I am very protective of them so imagine my surprise when I drove up to my house yesterday and saw this gray looking thing in the drive and about 4 feet away another darker looking thing. It was already dark when I got home that is another story that I will share later! But as I pull in and notice these two things laying in my drive I have no idea what our new Beagle, Peanut has drug up to the house and as I am about to get out of my car I remember that my order from The Buckle was suppose to be delivered today it was at that point that I realized that gray thing was my order from The Buckle and that darker thing was my very precious jeans!!! Needless to say some very foul language started coming out of my mouth as I am searching for the shirt that I so desperately wanted is no where to be found, the other top that I order was still in the bag but the one like Ginger's gone...That was the whole reason I got on their website that day and ended up ordering the other items so I was not a happy person...As I pull into the carport with my shredded Buckle bag, jeans and other shirt I am cussing at my little dog but how was he to know that it was like chewing up hundred dollar bills! I decide to scour the yard in hopes that just maybe he drug my top out there and sure enough it was laying in the yard, no plastic but not a tear or rip on it...Good Dog!!! The remaining top is being delivered at a later date so I can only imagine what that gray Buckle sack will look at!!! You would think that the UPS driver wouldn't lay something at the door with a little puppy running around oh well everything turned out and that is all that matters if it hadn't we might have had a Beagle for sale!

What a busy week.

I went out of town on my first business trip that required a plane ride...I left last Wed and returned on Friday, flew to Charleston, SC with my boss....Met with the corporate folks and hit an Irish pub....My kind of trip! On Saturday we went to what was Gage's last football game of the season and my best friend brought or new puppy to us....Renly decided to name him Peanut Butter Jelly, we are calling him Peanut but she uses his full name! Sunday I took Renly to her first tea party...That was a holy nightmare and probably a one time purchase...She is not a girly girl and does NOT like to get dressed up...Her dress was absolutely beautiful but of course as soon as the tea party was over she wanted it off and wanted back in her comfy clothes! Can't say I blame her but it kinds of broke my heart knowing what I spent on it...She is going to wear it again for her Easter Dress so at least it isn't completely wasted...Monday I decided to stay home and get some things done around the house since I had been gone for 3 days...Gage and I were outside playing tennis and Renly was being the normal wild child that she is and was spinning around and she fell and fractured her wrist...After 2 days and going back and forth from one doctor to another and getting xrays we finally got a cast on it yesterday and she hates that too! I am finding it is hard to please this child, not sure where she gets that from! However I took her to Target and of course she found two new Barbies that made everything ok!!!

Halloween

Brady and I took the kids on a Hayride and Trick or Treating on Friday...I had to help with Gage's Halloween Carnival on Saturday while Brady was doing PR work with his deer hunter's....Yes he skipped out of helping me at the carnival...I rushed home to watch the remainder of the UT game only to see the Raiders win, kinda of disappointed but it was a good game..I am getting ready for my business trip on Wed and I am starting to freak out because I have to fly, I HATE to fly, hate it....To make matters worse Brady won't be with me! As I was packing yesterday I came to realize that I am fat....Jeans that I wore last year to Vegas yeah well I had to suck it in to even get the dang things and then after looking at my butt in the mirror I came to realize that maybe I had eaten to much Halloween candy so I am back on my exercise regiment today which I have been slacking on....Karee and I start Yoga tomorrow at lunch so I am excited for that but the other days I will drag my butt to the track and do what I was doing before so maybe just maybe I can get skinny for our trip to Corpus Christi in December....Wish me luck.

Our new little dog....

So I finally found Renly a new little dog to replace the one that I accidentally ran over...I have been searching and searing all over this state and even in other states and dogs are just ridiculously expensive..My cousin Krystal help me locate this little guy and I am so exited..We are picking him up next weekend. He is coming all the way from Austin but his current owners have a deer lease in Bronte so we are going to met him and take our new puppy home. Gage is very excited and loves the dog, Renly tells me she doesn't like him because he has to much white on his face, she is 3 how does she notice these things....Women!

The Final Tea Party Dress

The shoes......

The dress.....

So some of you know I finally broke down and ordered the most beautiful little girls dress I have ever seen in my life....I bought Renly some shoes on Friday not really knowing if they will work with the dress since I haven't gotten it yet but they were on sale at Dillard's so I thought well if they don't work I will just return them....Should have never shown them to Renly because ever since she put them on she won't take them off....She loves them, she thinks she is a princess when she has them on...Guess we are keeping them regardless if they work with the dress or not!

Not the Final Round

We got a letter on Saturday that Brady wasn't chose for the final round of the Farm Bureau Young Farmer and Rancher contest but we know all of the couples that were chosen and they are all great farmers/ranchers.....So best of luck to the three of them....

First Loss of the Season

Gage and his team lost their first game of the season on Saturday but I must say the team that they played was good and Gage had a wonderful game....He was so excited that he got to play defense he jumped in there two time in a row and got the quarterbacks flags he never had a chance to throw the ball...Good thing because when he did throw it he always threw it to the same kid and that kid was fast....Oh well his team will come in 2nd and still make it to the playoffs....We are proud of him no matter what!
