Boomer Sooner - or later

State Fair - OU TX weekend!!!

So we went to the State Fair last weekend....we had a great time! Way toooo many people.

OU TX weekend. OU lost. ( sad face) but it was fun. BTW - TX fans are the rudest fans ever....and that was before the game even started!

Mom and Wayne got us a hotel room on the northside for a anniversary present....we were maybe 20-25mins from the fairgrounds...except on Saturday it took us 2 AND a half hours to get there!

After we got there, there was so much to see and do. Live music, beer, dog shows, pig races, exhibit after exhibit....but the most interesting thing we found was....

Margarita in a Pouch...

and.....fried EVERYTHING

That's right...FRIED BUTTER and PB and J...and FRIED COOKIE DOUGH!! EWWW

But it was a great weekend....we were both wore out by the end of Saturday...

I want my year old cake and eat it too!

One year ago today, it was wrapped in a HobbyLobby bag, placed it in an empty DosEquis box, and "CAKE DO NOT THROW AWAY" written in blue and then placed in moms freezer.

So much for the Martha Stewart way of doing it, but it worked!

Friday afternoon, we went by mom's, they had left an anniversary gift for us. Somehow I managed to remember to get the Dos Equis box out of the freezer. Got home and put it in the refrigerator.

All weekend I was worried I was defrosting it wrong...and does anyone really eat the cake a year later? Or is it supposed to be 10yrs later? Either way, we were going to eat some on the 4th.

Kyle wasn't too sure about the idea. But he went with it, mostly to amuse me I'm sure.

So today, 1yr ago, was the big day. It was soo perfect. Everything I wanted it to be. Wow, to me it really doesn't feel like a year has gone by. BUT alot has happened. Both good and bad.

Bad only in the fact that Nana and Mrs Tafoya both passed away within a month of each other. Kyle was right there for me. His parents were very thoughtful, sending flowers and baked goods.

I think we have learned alot about each other, ourselves and our families, which is a good thing. I like to think it would take more than 3years to know everything there is to know about someone.

We bought a house. Which I think we both thought would never happen. We love the house. Still needs some work done, but I think that is part of the process.

We got to share alot of firsts....which is the best part. When we went to DC that was Kyle's first trip, first Polo Match, my first time camping in a Trailer (pull behind trailer), my first time hunting, shooting a gun (not at the same time), the list goes on and on...AND there is plenty of more to see and do.

I can't wait to make out the list on our 5yr, 10yr, 20yr and so on, and see what all is on that list.

Now, if I can just figure out how to get him to go camping on the beach!

By the way, the cake was pretty good, for being 1yr old today!

Fridays with Boomer

Aww he really is our "little boy". Crazy dog. I want to get another dog to add to our family, almost everyone we know is a 2dog home. BUT I admit I'm a little scared to get one that can't compare to Boomer. He's such a good dog. Here's some pics of our son.

Day at the Winery

Last weekend we went with Mom and Wayne to a new Winery/Vinyard in Florence. I know, Florence? you say. Well, Florence Tx, and it's out in the middle of nowhere. But it was very nice. We had lunch and a glass of wine here.... Then after lunch, we walked over towards the back of the property where they have they host the Austin Polo Club and watched an exhibition match. It was hotter than blue blazes, but it was neat to see. Here we are...aww...all hot and sweaty...can you tell how much fun Kyle is having?!?!?
