5. Who eats more? Are you kidding me? He does!

Anybody Have Weekend Plans?

Bryan does .... for the next 20 million weeks! Maybe it just seems that way because yesterday he said, "This weekend, I'm going to Fort Worth Stock Show ... next weekend, I am doing this work thing ... the next weekend, I'm going to the San Antonio Stock Show ... AND THEN the next weekend, I have this ... etc. ... etc.!!" When I work from 8-5, and he works from 2-9 during the week days ... where do you have time to date? Bryan and I got out of the habit of going on "Dates" ... and we were just starting back up! So if anyone wants to hang out over the next year, call me! Don't call Bryan ... he probably won't even answer his phone he's so busy!

The Sweet Ones

Bevo and Violet have been doing awesome together! Bevo surprised us on how wonderful he is with her! We love them both soo much!!

Here they are chilling on the bed together, while Bryan and I were getting ready for church!

Here they are again! They can't get enough of each other!

Happy Birthday, Darren!!

We threw our friend, Darren, a surprise birthday party with the help from his girlfriend! We played football (6-on-6), then watched Transporter 2, while Bryan and I cooked supper (which included wings and grilled chicken)! Finally, we went and played 2 games of basketball! The next morning at church, many of us were complaining of soreness! haha

Bryan making his special wings (which were excellent)!!

The Crew.

Darren and his new lady, Charlotte.

Merry Christmas to you!!

hahah I know I'm sooo late!! Theses pictures have been sitting in my camera ... my camera has been out of batteries for some time now! So here they are ... only three weeks late! Bryan and I took these pictures Christmas Eve night! This our first Christmas as a family!

Bevo and Violet are fighting over who's been better this year!

Both are waiting so patiently!

Bevo is going for the goods!

Violet carrying her bunny around! She loves that thing!

Bevo wants to play Tug-A-War with Violet! It's pretty funny to watch these two play together!

Bryan and I, watching the dogs play!

This isn't the good picture ... but I couldn't help not blogging it! Bevo didn't care to look at the camera!

Want to know a secret on how to get two dogs to look in the same direction at the same time when you want them to? We set up our camera on top of a table ... I positioned it perfectly towards us, then put the timer on! Bryan throws a ball over the camera right before it takes! All this equals: The Perfect Picture!!

Bryan's End .... Extended!

Bryan can still see the end ... it has just been extended to Dec. 2008! Since Bryan is working for the Boy's Ranch, he applied for student teaching at Mertzon! He would be able to pick up the boys from school when he got off ... it was a perfect plan! Until ASU decided to put him at Bowie Elementary And Lee Middle School! When Bryan confronted his advisors and asked why he didn't get into Mertzon, they told him that gas was high and that no one else was going to be near there! When he told his boss, Justin, what happened, he offered to pay ASU for the extra gas! Next semester, ASU is going to start charging a flat rate of $600 for gas! So anyone student teaching outside of San Angelo will have to pay that fee! His advior said she is almost 100% positive he will get into Mertzon next semester! So, in the long run, we decided it would be best for him to drop it this semester, and finish up in the fall! God is already showing us that this decision was OK! Thank you, Jesus!

PS-So now you can disregard the blog earlier about Bryan and student teaching!
