Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch

Where else do you go to look for a cute pumpkin other than the infamous Mr. Bones! We decided that since it was a beautiful fall day and it would be Reagan's first visit to a pumpkin patch, to drive up to West Hollywood and try to see a few celebrities. Last year Tori Spelling, Heidi Klum, Gwen Stefani, Toby McGuire, Marcia Cross and other stars took their kids there so we thought for sure we would finally see a celebrity! We have been living in CA for over a year, been to LA 4 or 5 times and have never seen anyone famous and of course, we didn't see one today either! We did however see all the paparazzi standing outside the pumpkin patch just waiting to catch a photo of one. And I'm sure I would have been right there with them trying to get a picture too!

We had a great time, Reagan loved playing in the hay and crawling all around the pumpkins! I am so glad we decided to make the trip up there, it was worth it! We came home with a big pumpkin and a small one that Reagan picked out. Hopefully we will carve our big beautiful pumpkin next week!

(I am just warning you, there are TONS of pictures! I don't know how to make a link to view the album. I know Windows Live Writer has something, but we have a MacBook Pro so I can't use it. If anyone knows of something that works for Mac let me know! Otherwise enjoy the pics)

BTHO Arkansas

Well since I am posting this after the terrible Aggie game and we clearly did not beat Arkansas(19-47) my attitude towards the wrecking crew is not very positive. We finally got to watch a game AND it was in the new Cowboys stadium but it was a complete let down.

Oh well, we still fun wearing our Maroon & White and cheering on our team! Here are some pictures from last year during Reagan's first game and then some from today. I can't wait to make Reagan a cute little A&M outfit with class of 2030 on it!! She is such a cute little Aggie girl!

She was NOT happy with the Aggies or me for making her take pictures!

Wordless Wednesday

Goodnight, I Love You

Four and a half years ago Darrin decided to take an internship with Zachary Construction that would lead him to working in Beijing China. He would be there for 6 months working on the new U.S. Embassy, which meant we would be apart for 6 months. Needless to say it was a long 6 months. We could only talk at 3:45 pm my time, which was 5:45 am his time, he was getting up for work (or just crawling in from the bars) and I would be in between classes. Somedays we wouldn't talk, other days just an email was all we could do.

I tried to think of something I could get Darrin to take with him to China so he could always think of me. I decided to get him a pillow and monogram the case saying, "good night, i love you." Since I wouldn't be able to tell him good night every night, he would have my pillow to remind him that I was thinking about him and I loved him.

Here is the pillow case now. It's barely hanging on, but I can't bring myself to take it off. It's on our bed and one of us sleeps with it every night. It looks pathetic, but I feel like it is so special that I can't take it off. Maybe I will just put a different pillow case on top of this one so it appears in good condition. Then I can keep the old one on but it won't look so ridiculous. Or I could try out my new sewing skills and just sew it back up!
