Thanksgiving 2010

This Thanksgiving we had everyone over to my parents house for lunch. We had such a good time hanging out and catching up! My mom always decorates so pretty.

For dinner I went to Brittney's great grandparents house. The food was just as delicious and I was stuffed! While at their house we watched the A&M/UT game....I wore my Aggie shirt for good luck and fortunately this shirt had better luck than my Cowboy's jersey. THEY WON!


Cyrus Gray rushed for 223 yards and two touchdowns to help Texas A&M beat Texas 24-17 in college football Thursday, sending the Longhorns to their first losing season since 1997.

Gray had touchdown runs of 84 yards in the second quarter and 48 yards in the third. Von Miller intercepted a tipped pass at the Texas A&M 11-yard line with 2:37 left to kill what looked like a drive for the tying touchdown.

Jeff Fuller also caught a touchdown pass and Randy Bullock kicked a 50-yard field goal for the No. 17-ranked Aggies (9-3, 6-2 Big 12).

Texas’ fifth home loss of the season means the Longhorns (5-7) won’t be eligible for a bowl just one season after playing for the national championship.

Texas A&M scored 17 points off three Texas turnovers and led 24-14 after Gray’s second touchdown. Texas kicked a field goal after a blocked punt and used a long drive to march toward a touchdown before Garrett Gilbert’s pass was tipped at the line of scrimmage.
Texas had never had a losing season under coach Mack Brown but completely fell apart after quarterback Colt McCoy and a host of other players ended their careers. The Longhorns have lost five home games this season.
The Longhorns’ struggles have intensified speculation among fans that Brown will replace one or more assistant coaches, including longtime offensive coordinator Greg Davis. Davis has said he doesn’t plan to retire.
The Aggies, meanwhile, have made a complete turnaround in coach Mike Sherman’s third season. After seasons of 4-8 and 6-7, the Aggies can now achieve their first 10-win season since 1998.
GIG 'EM AGGIES!!!!

Mom's Bday weekend!

SATURDAY:
I woke up this morning and was ready to tailgate! My Mom and Dad went to Freebirds for
lunch...this is my dad with his big burrito. The burrito's here are amazing and will definitely fill you up! I suggest that everyone go there at least once in their life...A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!















After lunch they did some shopping so only Nate joined us for tailgating...we had such a good time. After hours and hours of food, beer and washers we headed to the game! I met back up with my parents, sisters, brother-in-law and his parents to take a few pictures. These are some pictures of people tailgating and the horses before the game:
This is my old apartment complex's tent they had set up...I lived here from 2005-2006































BTHO Nebrasksa!
















Nate and I tailgating, he was pretending to be asleep and not care that we were taking a picture together :( 
















Yay, thanks for smiling Nate :) and yes that is an Imperial hat....my family just love's Costa Rica!






















































































































Cute little Aggie fan!



















Kyle Stadium!


















This game was a record-breaking crowd, thanks in part to the 31,005 student tickets sold, filled
Kyle Field Saturday. The largest crowd in school history was tallied at 90,079...significantly higher than the previous attendance record of 88,253, which was set in 2007 when the Aggies played UT. Hours before kickoff, traffic backed up for miles around the university and several at the stadium who lived within 5 miles of campus reported spending in excess of 90 minutes in traffic before finding a parking spot and the making the trek to Kyle Field.














































After I got through the crowd and made it to my seat I had so much fun watching the
game! We stood the entire time, of course, and yelled for every second of the game I feel like.
My feet were killing me, my throat was scratchy but it was definitely all worth it to beat Nebraska 9-6....even though not one team made a touchdown, it was still an amazing game!

We had bought tickets to this game for my mom's early birthday present since she loves Aggie
Football so much and the season is over by the time her birthday comes around. Everyone had such a good time and I hope you liked your birthday present mom! Happy Birthday and your the
most amazing mom in the world! I LOVE YOU!

Half-time show

SUNDAY:
We drove back to Rockwall to have Thanksgiving dinner with my dad's side of the family. The food was so delicious and it was so much fun seeing everyone and catching up. I have the most amazing family in the world! We were exhausted from this weekend so we didn't take any pictures....but of course I took a picture of my plate since I love food so much.
