For Thanksgiving 2008 we drove to Dallas to watch the cowboys fry the seahawks on turkey day... was a great trip and a great thanksgiving, the baby went to Utah for a few weeks, here is Jared, Ashtyn and I calling to wish her a happy thanksgiving...


Then it was off to tailgate at the stadium, here is My dad, Jared and Todd (family friend) getting ready to go...

And here is Neil (good friend of ours here in 'bama) Ashtyn, Me and Jared tailgating in front of texas stadium...

And Ashtyn and I watching our Boyz (this view is from our seat) YAY for family section, thanks Tobie!!

Ashtyn got SO WORN OUT cheering for her cowboys she took a short nap on the seats while we all stood and cheered...

Upon waking, ashtyn made good friends with the security guard...



FINAL SCORE... GO BOYZ GO!!!

After the game we found our FAVORITE cheerleader... Aunt Tobie!

Just the girls, been a VERY long time since we were all together, this is my sister Brittany, my mom Angie, My sister Tobie, and me!



WAS A VERY fun time, we also went to the So Miss/SMU game in to which unfortunately Chase and SMU lost :(
We had a blast and cannot wait to go again next year in the new stadium... Farewell Texas Stadium!!!!

08 family christmas pix

Neil took some pretty good family pix, i will post the ones that are NOT going out in cards, hope your all having a good month!






And my all-time favorite (except for the 2 going out in cards)


We tried VERY hard to keep all pix here on post so everybody could see what fort rucker looked like, but wasn't scenic enough so this is all we could do, more to follow from thanksgiving in Dallas!!!
