Everything's better in Texas (Tech)!!!

As I was walking through the airport heading toward security, I passed a little store with a few shirts in the window, one reading 51 % good witch 49 % bad witch. Makes me smile and reminds me (a little bit) of why I like living in the land of oz!! but....EXCITED to head to lbk!

WOW!!! I can't believe this is the first time I have been back to Lubbock/Texas Tech since I graduated! So much has changed, but so much is still the same! And it brings back sooo many memories!!! Griffin and I met my Mom up in Lubbock to visit my brother! We had a great time!!!

Didn't get nearly as many pics taken as i would have liked, but here are a few that I did manage to take!

We are leavin' on a jet plane!
My tired boy....resting while mommy loads up our bags in Uncle Brads truck!
my boy is hilarious! we went to Target and he found 'elmo' books...then decided he wanted them ALL...so filled up the basket...6 at a time!

pretty sure i'm in love!
HEAVEN!!!
visiting uncle brad at his apartment
uncle brad took us to fuzzy's taco shop (mom thought the name was cute...until we clued her in HA!)
enjoying our tacos...even after g spilled my schooner EVERYWHERE....then thought it was even more fun to splash in it! Brad and his girlfriend Meghan behind G!
Brad and his super cute girlfriend! G thought she was pretty fun!
G's favorite thing was to feed Uncle Brad!
Everything is better...I mean bigger in Texas!! How fun is this waffle!!
Couldn't wait to get into the bath...even with pjs and shoes on!



G being silly!! Thank you Meghan and Uncle Brad for my super cute Tech gear!!!
took a little trip with Brad to Academy....g found the sunglasses!
and thought he would try them ALL on...so funny, check out the floor behind him!
I am almost positive this was Gs favorite part of the trip....swimming!
Went to Cheddar's for dinner our last night in Lubbock with Uncle Brad, his girlfriend Meghan and a few of his buddies!
And Q welcomed me home with this in our driveway....then put me to work the next morning....maybe I should have stayed in Lubbock an extra day ;)
Thank you Brad for showing us such a good time! You are such an AWESOME brother to me and uncle to Griffin!!! From feeding you chips and queso, to loving on you in Academy ;)...it is pretty obvious how crazy g is about you! We love you bunches!!! ....Best Uncle EVER!!! ;)

Had sooo much fun in Lubbock!! but after clicking my heels together 3 times, and a very VERY turbulent flight... there is no place like home!

little Raider Red!!!

Wreck 'em Tech!
Texas Tech
"Fight Raiders Fight"

Fight Raiders fight,
Fight Raiders fight,
Fight for the school we love so dearly
We'll hit 'em high
We'll hit 'em low
Push that ball across the goal,
TECH, FIGHT, FIGHT!
We'll praise her name
Boost her to fame
Fight for the Scarlet and the Black
We will hit 'em, we will wreck 'em
Hit 'em, wreck 'em Texas Tech
And the victory bells will ring out.

Got my little Red Raider all geared up in his Tech best and took a little stroll around campus...and took LOTS of pics!!! On my graduation day I took many of these same pics in my cap and gown.....and many of them with Q! I will try and dig them up and post!


I am convinced he is "Getting His Guns Up" in this photo!
love this shot, you can see much of campus in the background


In front of the Human Sciences building...where I spent LOTS of time!
Mom and I took a pic here on my graduation day.
Getting his guns up with Will Rogers! Tech tradition to wrap Will Rogers on game days!.... I am hearing the school song play in my head as I type... ;)
Get your Guns Up!!!

E is for Easter!

Gosh I love this holiday!!! I (I mean the Easter bunny) love getting his Easter basket put together, shopping for his Easter clothes (even though I am not brave enough to try out church with this rambunctious 1 year old just yet). I love coloring eggs, egg hunting..and of course getting pictures of it all! So fun!!!

Wow!!! ALOT has changed in 12 little months!!
Wasn't he so precious last year!!! From little sweetie...
.......To little stinker... the only picture I have of him looking at me or smiling with his Easter basket! he loves sporting his new shades from the bunny!
Easter morning! After their egg hunt!

gettin' fresh!
sporting their Easter duds with Grandpa Terry
GQ
after their tickling match
nothin' like a good wrestlin' match Easter morning!
I love that we get to merge Q's holiday traditions as a kid with mine! The Easter bunny always left candy in their shoes!
3 cute little shoes
Gs Easter basket! The bunny tried its hardest not to go overboard, and here is what he ended up with!
all tuckered out! he had a little too much fun!!
Kathy and Bryn, still looking forward to our 'Gardening & Cocktails'

the PARK!

Have to say, the kids had a great time at the park...but Bryn and I had a GREAT time at the park! Didn't realize that we could 'play' as hard as the little ones!! We took the kiddos by Saturday evening after a full day of Easter eggs!!! These pics turned out great!!!







Griffin LOVED this slide....biggest one there!

Bryn...have to add our quote of the day!!!

Bryn: (as she is 'climbing' the "rock wall") "I am going to bust my 'booty'!"
Amy: "oh shoot, where's my camera!"
Yes...sister in law of the year award goes to me! HA!

And....I am sure that was much funnier to us when it happened...but it was too hilarious not to post!
