The Big "D"...

So we went to Dallas for the Cotton Bowl and have been going going going nonstop, but had a good trip!

We stayed with the team at the Gaylord Texan which was a super cool hotel- lots to do and really cool inside...




This pic is from our balcony and it looks into the hotel atrium...on the left you see the "Alamo" area and there is a riverwalk area inside along with restaurants and shops.



At the restaurant bar area under our room there was this huge TV (I could only get half of it in this pic) that took up a whole wall.





On the bus pre game partying










This is my favorite picture ! We tailgated right by the stadium and I had to get Hunter with this sign and the stadium in the background. I was very impressed with the stadium and our seats were awesome!





Big Brad and Squaw at the tailgate



Outside the stadium they had lots of entertainment





At the game the had past Cotton Bowl players and Jim Brown of Syracuse flipped the coin. Also Little Big Town sang the National Anthem!


Well we came out strong in the beginning of the game but after halftime it was pretty much downhill ;(


We had a great time though! Also I saw this sign at the Wine Bar in our hotel and I thought it was funny:




Hope that y'all had a great weekend and that you were not rooting for those stinky swamp kittys! Gig 'em

Christmas 2010

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas! I know that we did even though we traveled a lot!


These are just a few of the winter pictures that we took this year and I really love the way they turned out!









This is Luke Aaron Stennis and he is 5 weeks old here...he is the son of my best friend Karla.

Here Court was holding him and he was making some baby noises-she said he sounded like a baby dinosaur!


Christmas Eve we went to candlelight service at church an then to Cafe Eccel for dinner (actually I went for dessert they serve my favorite there)
