BYE Week Lubbock Style

Steve, Macie and I went to Lubbock again this weekend to see the Carrell's. Steve hasn't had a weekend off in months, so what better way to celebrate than with our best buds!!! And because our family just can't go a weekend without a football game, we went to the Tech game on Saturday. We tailgated for a few hours before the game. It was super fun!!
Matt, Stace, Steve and I getting ready to watch tech beat Colorado.
At halftime when we realized that this probably was not going to happen, we went back out to the truck for more tailgating.

Stace and I got a little camera happy... I have about 18 pictures like this on my camera.

Lubbock

Macie & I went to Lubbock for the weekend to visit the Carrell's. We were so excited because Staci's sister Erika and her family also came down for the weekend. We had so much fun!! Saturday we all went to the Corn Maze (Lubbock's version of a pumpkin patch). We saw lots of animals, went on a hayride and went through a huge corn maze (which we were led through by my super smart friend Stace). I have to admit that I liked the Corn Maze in Lubbock better than the Pumpkin Patch here in Flower Mound. We will definately be going back next fall!

Pumpkin Patch with Lydia



Our first trip to the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch was a wet one...
Lydia and April drove from Frisco, and when they left, it wasn't raining. By the time they got to Flower Mound, it was drizzling. Lydia and Macie were less than impressed... luckily they did not melt.

Grandma

Brenda Gail Mangus
January 15, 1946-August 4, 2007
Macie's Grandma, Brenda, passed away on Saturday, August 4. She was diagnosed with Crutzfeldt Jacobs Disease a week and a half earlier. CJD is a rare and fatal brain disorder. Brenda was one of the most caring, energetic, selfless women I have ever known... and I am so lucky to have had her for a mother-in-law. We will miss her everyday.
