I'm still here...

Has it really been two weeks since I posted?

yep.

Dang, I've been slacking...

It definitely has not been because of a lack of happenings over here but I've been busy and TIRED.

I'll get it together soon, Promise!

Weekend Recap: Texas State Fair

We started the weekend as we always do with a nail bitter of a soccer game.

Keddie did great and they remain undefeated this season, and he had fun (which is all that really matters).

And then we went to Dallas to take in the Texas State Fair.

I am born & bread Texan but it was my first time so it was kinda fun to be able to experience it all for the first time along with the boys.

**Warning, picture overload**

The boys were immediately mesmerized by BIG TEX, he waves and says "Howdy Ya'll".

He is at the front of the fair when you walk in the gates, and he was TALL!

Mike with the boys when we first got there.

The boys were so fun to watch. Their little eyes would get so big when they would see a ride they wanted to do and those smiles were plastered on their faces.

This one was pretty lame and Langston had to ride with Keddie because he wasn't tall enough to ride alone. It only went around once and only lasted like 30 seconds...

This was Keddie & Langston's 1st roller coaster.

Big moment.

I had to go with them because again
Langston was not tall enough to ride anything on his own (atleast he could still ride though).

I was excited to go with them until it started to go and I realized that the individual cars spun while you were going. SPUN! I get motion sick, bad. I didn't want to scare the boys so I tried as best I could to act like I was having fun.

Langston loved it. Keddie hated it. I felt sick for an hour after....

After assuring Keddie that not all roller coasters spin, he was willing to try again. Still feeling sick, I sat that one out. You can't see, but Langston was sitting next to Mike.

Keddie liked it, I was so relieved, I didn't want for that crazy spinning ride to run roller coasters fun him for life.

Bumper Cars...

Langston couldn't reach the pedals so he needed a driver.

(Go Rangers, big games that weekend!)

Langston was not happy.


They also had a petting zoo...

zebras...

& baby pigs...

& donkeys (i think that's what that was)...

And they had a Car Show...

This is BumbleBee (for those without boys, he is a Transformer. The man that was with BumbleBee said that he was sleeping now but that he was in the first movie.

I don't know if Keddie was more excited about the rides or seeing BumbleBee...

Checking out a truck, it was raining by then and the boys must have climbed in and out of atleast 20 cars and trucks. We were just trying to stay dry and keep them entertained.

We left early because of the rain...

But we were pretty worn out.

No School for us on Monday so we took our time getting home and spent the afternoon celebrating my nephew's 15th birthday.

Man I'm getting old.

Great weekend. Thanks GranNita & PapaJack!!

Shopping for a Cause

I Love October!

Partially because the temps finally drop below 100 (gotta love Texas weather) and partially because I know I can get good deals on hair products at Ulta.

These are some of the products that Ulta offers in October for half price AND they donate a portion to breast cancer charities.

Pictured are the TIGI brand dry shampoo and hairspray. Normally they retail for $16 a bottle, crazy I know but I love them. I got them for $8 each. I paid $32 for 4 bottles of product when every other month of the year I would have paid that price for two.

I'm definitely going back tomorrow in hopes of getting enough to last me until next October...
