O-Who?

What a great game! Today was so much fun! But, I will be the very first to admit (much to Denny's disdain), that I did not think Texas could pull it off. I thought for sure today's game would end with Denny pouting and Texas having their first loss of the season. But the more I watched the game the more confident I became that we might actually have a chance at winning this year! A Texas victory makes Saturday so much more enjoyable around our house, and especially when it's over OU. However there will be another game next week and it will not be easy. So we will enjoy this week's win and hope next week will be the same!

Some of our good friends from college, (who actually now live in Dallas, we just never get to see them), came over to watch the game with us today! We had a great time watching the game and spending the day with Drew and Andrea!


I have decided that Jack is our new good luck charm! He watched his first TX/OU game and we won! All the loud holloring and cheering really wore him out..... BUT, look at his right hand... that's right, he never lost his spirit! (I did not even realize he was doing hook 'em until I uploaded these pictures, there was no help from mom on this one... he's just so advanced!) :)
Jack is just busting with excitement at Texas' win! You can almost hear his squeal just looking at the picture!

After a hard day of rooting for his team, it was time to crash! Looks like Dad could use a nap too!
And we did not forget about our first Longhorn! When she woke up this morning Denny told her there was a big game today. She asked who the Longhorns were playing and when Denny told her Oklahoma, her response... "That's not good"! She usually refers to Oklahoma as the "bad guys!"
And just in case you were wondering, we did go out last night, but were definitely not the party animals we once were! We met everyone up at Chuy's, for our annual happy hour/dinner, hung out for a few hours, and then we came home. We were home before 11:00!!!! We are SO old! But we had a great time and are so thankful for our first "date" since Jack arrived! Again, thank you La-la for watching the kids! You are so sweet to come all this way just to help us out!

The picture of Jack couldn't have been more perfect!!! I love that Olivia already has the Longhorn spirit, too! Truett has an LSU shirt that says, "Raise 'Em Right...Start 'Em Young!" :) (Of course, after tonight's game, not sure we want to admit it!)

You know I really don't care much about football, but just have to say that you look ridiculously fantastic for having given birth 10 weeks ago!!! Is it OK that I hate you just a little bit?? ;)

I love the pics of the kids - and can't believe Jack has grown so much since we were last there. I can hardly wait to see them next month. Great game . . . and yes, I was with you - not as confident as Ryan but the Horns pulled it off. Hooray and HOOK EM!! \m/
