7 months and 5 years old

Tess is 7 months old!!! She is the happiest, sweetest, fattest baby around. Not sure I could love she and her sister any more than anything on this planet. My little family is complete and my cup runneth over. We don't have any teeth but are mumbling and she MAY have already said dada once or twice. :). Mommy is next!!!!
















And this fur baby is 5!!!!

Team Keating, Trick or Treating, Tailgating, and Clapping!!!

Tami, Carlos, and their beautiful children came to LBB this weekend and we had so much fun!!! They got in Friday just in time to trick or treat and the kids were so excited!!!







Rapunzel minus 'the wig'. She insisted on having it then only wore it for 53 seconds. Oh well. You win some, you lose some right?


London, our little 50's girl!


Carter, the beautiful pink butterfly


Sweet Francisco



Ellis in her adorable black leotard. She wore that under her lady bug costume





Tailgating! Poor TTU... They have some serious work to do!!!


Shirley, Tess's teacher and BFF at school. She and her sweet husband, Don, came to tailgate with us. So fun!!!


Keitha came from Dallas to visit! She's a UT fan but we still let her come! :). And, she was a nice fan and didn't wear they God-awful burnt orange!

Lots of Herring Happenings!!!

Mandie's birthday was last Friday night so Brian and I decided to go surprise her. I have not been to see her in AMA since we moved here a year & 1/2 ago (terrible! She lives 90 min from me! and she's been to see me!!!!) so we asked the Jones girls if they would be open to keeping the girls overnight and they were! Abby ended up keeping them BY HERSELF!!!!!! Alli agreed as well but Abby responded first and handled it alone just fine. Alli was available if Abby needed her. We love having grandparents close but we can't always rely on them so we thought we would ask our favorite girls so they could get used to this and things couldn't have gone any better. When Abby came over Friday, I asked her to snap a quick photo of us and WALA!!!!! Done and done! Brian's website is done so we need a family photo stat and Abby delivered!








It's so easy and all to do that with a 3 and 7 month old right? Uh NO! But she did it and it turned out pretty cute! Thanks Abby for everything! I love that you and you sis love our girls. Cameron woke up Sunday asking for Abby. So sweet.

Mandie had NO idea!!!! I planned all this with Chris and things went off without a hitch! She was so surprised! We brought steaks, a potato casserole, salad, and bread and Chris got the wine. A successful team effort. We ate, visited, and played cards. Such a fun time!!! Love you Mandie and here's to many more birthdays with you!!!












Their friend, Justin, joined us and I'm so glad! Hadnt seen him in a long time!!























Saturday night, Brandi Beeler had her famous Halloween party and our Rainbow Bright and Rapunzel had a blast!!! BB goes ALL OUT for the party unlike anything you've ever seen! She even had a haunted house this year!!!!!




















































































Tess sat here, like this, the entire time we were at the party! An hour & 1/2!! Angel baby I tell ya!












We are ON THE MOVE around here!! Thanks for the Walker Mandie. They both LOVE it!

And my nephew, Ian, who is playing tackle football for the first time, scored his FIRST TOUCHDOWN on Sunday!!!! 65 yrd run for the score, noone was catching that boy, my sis said!!! Then he ran the ball in for the 2pt conversion. I'm one proud aunt LiLi!!! Sad to have missed this though. :(

A Christmas Story

So, a couple weeks ago I made a comment to Deb, after seeing the 'leg' lamp from a Christmas story in our new burger restaurant, Twisted Root, that I thought it would be fun to have that on our wet bar and I'll be darned if she didn't just buy that sucker for us!!!! Came in the mail yesterday. She said it was a gift for going with her to CO. So sweet and completely unnecessary but how awesome does that look???? It's perfect there and we could not possibly love it more. Cam noticed it the second she walked in from school yesterday and said, 'look at that funny lamp mom!!!!' :)Thank you Debra, you're the best!






It even came with a bonus night light. Haha, complete greatness!
