One Year Older

Bo turned 29 on Saturday. I relish in these next 2 months as I get to tell people that I'm only 1 year older than my husband! We celebrated with some bowling and dinner at Babe's. As you can see, Bo had to wear an adorable head-piece at Babe's and do a little birthday dance on his chair. Actually, I think they just asked him to stand up. Naturally, though, he stood atop his chair (I think he would've danced on the tabletop, but there were too many dishes) and performed his own rendition of the chicken dance. I'm so jealous of the fact that Bo doesn't get embarrassed. In fact, performing his own birthday dance on top of his chair and in front of an audience came all too naturally for him. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Zoo Boo

We made a family trip to Frank Buck Zoo in Gainesville for "Zoo Boo" a couple weeks ago. The kids got to trick-or-treat through the zoo and occasionally catch a glimpse of an animal or two. Here are just a few pictures from that weekend!

Halloween Weekend

Mom and I took Landon trick-or-treating around the McKinney Square Friday afternoon. Fortunately, Landon didn't really care about the candy so we just walked around and looked at all the little ones dressed up as their favorite ghouls, goblins, or cartoon characters. Star Wars Storm Troopers had to be the most popular this year. After the square, I took Landon to Bo's fire station. He has so much fun sitting in the fire engine and ambulance, and especially enjoys running through the bay yelling so he can hear his own echo.
Saturday, Bo and I, along with my folks, went down to Aggieland to watch TAMU take on Colorado. They aren't having a good season, so we were lucky to see one of their wins! Hearing the fight song, listening to the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band, and watching the Aggies take the field gave me chills and brought back countless memories. I love that place, and always will.

Halloween 2008

Landon is going to be a little farmer for Halloween this year. We had everything except for the boots, and boy does he love his new cowboy boots! Bo and I can remember as children running around in our cowboy boots even in the summertime wearing shorts. Enjoy the pictures of our little farmer!

Dan-pa's Drums

"Dan-pa" is my dad and Landon's Grandpa.....except it comes out more like "Dan-pa." When I was in high school, I gave my dad a black & white poster of a baby playing the drums. The baby has this great expression of concentration and sheer effort and has his drum sticks crossed in the air. Dad mentioned how he would like to have a picture like that of Landon one day. Well, today is my dad's birthday, and he will be getting a 16"x20" black and white poster of Landon Cole playing his drums.

Dallas Defenders Football Club

Bo plays football for the Dallas Defenders, which is part of the National Public Safety Football League. They play for charity, and in the case of the Defenders, their proceeds go to the Boys & Girls Club. They had their first home game this weekend and defeated a team out of Austin, the Central Texas Wolfpack, 50-20! Bo plays cornerback, and had 7 tackles, 1 interception, and ran the ball back for 40 yards. Not bad for a guy whose high school football days ended 10 years ago!
