Halloween!

We had 42 trick or treaters stop by our house this year. It was so fun seeing everyone dressed up for the holiday!

Our cute Duncan.

He sort of likes bandanas.

My "Dirt and Worms" dessert from work.

It was a fun night. We had too much candy left over...

PS - someone is getting ready to light up NW OKC!

OU/Texas Weekend

We had such a blast in Dallas this year for OU/Texas weekend. We had so many friends travel to Dallas for the weekend. We had a birthday party/reunion Friday night, the game Saturday morning, and a fun dinner with family Saturday night. A win is icing on the cake - it is always such a fun weekend!

We order our state fair coupons in advance. They arrived just in time!

OU Wins!

My last serving of fried oreros until 2013.

On our way home, we stopped at Sprinkles Cupcakes to pick up some treats. This year, Duncan got a cupcake!

"Doggies love cupcakes too"

Cutest little cupcake.

Our desserts.

He really liked it!

Now, he thinks he can have all our of treats, when that is not the case at all. He is still confused why his treat was much smaller compared to ours.

Our trip to Dallas = success!

State Fair of Oklahoma

It's been a tradition that we go to the state fair with our friends from church. This year, we had fried oreos, chicken on stick (which was very good), and cinnamon rolls.

Fried Oreos

Chicken on a stick.

 Our friends, Shawn and Brittany, love the games at the state fair.

And, the cinnamon rolls. We got one to enjoy at the fair and three to go!! Okay, one was for my mom, but we enjoyed the other two for breakfast. 

Until next year, see you later state fair.

Football Season!

We all get so excited for fall, which marks the beginning of football season.

 Even Duncan has a special game day tradition...

Just on game days, his OU bandana comes out.

It's football time in Oklahoma!

Halloween!

I'm not scared to say Halloween isn't my favorite of the holidays. We didn't even bother getting pumpkins for our porch. I was excited and thrilled to pass out candy in our new neighborhood.

For small group, we had a Halloween themed food night. We made spiderweb pretzels.

Delicious and very fragile.

For a special treat for us, Halloween funfetti cupcakes. 

Jack had class on Halloween, so it was my job (and Duncan's) to pass out candy. 

One tradition my family does is tally how many trick or treaters come.

 We had 49 trick or treaters. Two of them include two girls that were my height, but dressed up. It also includes three 10 year olds that weren't dressed and commented on my tv show. He called me out on watching "reality tv". Relax kid, it's just Dancing with the Stars. It could be a lot worse.


The little decoration we did include these fun spiders from Jack's old babysitter. We loved seeing them hanging out around the fireplace.

We hope your Halloween was spook-tacular.

Oh, check out the Harpers!

 Check out my mom's front porch!

Rusty isn't a real diablo... he is an angel.

And... I guess I sort of dressed up for Halloween. I volunteered myself to be Snow White at a co-workers daughter's birthday party. I'll admit ... it was fun!

This might be my new weekend gig - Disney Princess.

It's getting cold here!

I guess Fall has fallen and Winter is approaching.....


I hope it doesn't snowmageddon again...Or maybe I do.....

OU Texas

October came quickly and left just as quickly. It seems like months go by so quickly these days.

Jack and I took a quick trip to Dallas for our favorite holiday - OU/Texas Weekend. It didn't disappoint.

Duncan Dog's new thing - laying against clothes.

Southbound 35!

Duncan didn't quite enjoy the small captain seats in my car. He couldn't get comfortable

Once down in Dallas, we ate great food with some great people. 

These great people really love sushi. Luckily, most sushi places have steaks and steak knives.

The great people's food.

My guy loves sushi. He married one of the only landaterians around.

MY FOOD. Yum.

 I should mention these great are truly great - Jack's parents and Jordan and Trey. We had a blast!

Kick off was 11am, which makes eating and drinking a bit challenging. No fear - we made it work.

Jack's breakfast - Belgium waffle!

Near College GameDay set.

Hey Guys! Boomer.

Everyone and their kids takes this picture - the sea of crimson and burnt orange.

I'm disappointed to say I did not get pictures of the fried oreos consumed. Texas has great fried oreos, so great that Jack and I stood in line for an hour for them.

A full hour.

Which is about 30 minutes past what we would have liked to stood in line. They were well worth it. And I can patiently wait until I have them again...

We love going to OU/Texas. It's the fall break for grownups.

Beat Texas.

Fried Oreo Season

Jack and I went to the Great State Fair of Oklahoma last week with some friends from our small group. State Fair also means - Fried Oreo season. I have fried Oreo's twice a year - once at the Oklahoma State Fair then again at the Texas State Fair. Fried Oreo season only lasts about 3 weeks, but it is a special time.

State Fair also means a time to try ridiculous foods. We keep it pretty tame.

First Up, Fried Oreos.

Jack had Jalapeno Fried Curds (what a horrible name, but he said they were delicious)

New this year - red velvet funnel cake with cream cheese icing. Best purchase of the night.

Our small group is awesome. Shawn has a thing for fair games....

Playing games, trying to win the biggest stuff animal.

Bucket of rings to try to throw on the glass bottles.

Game two, revisiting one from last.

Actually, the best purchase came this glorious place...

the best cinnamon rolls in the land.

Happy Fried Oreo Season. The season will end shortly... enjoy while you can.

Deep fried happy.
