2012 Pumpkin Patch

Pumpkin patch with Stace and Jax!

He was so cute. He loved all the pumpkins, but when he saw the windmill, there was no going back!
He was on a mission to get to the windmill

Of all the pumpkins, this was the one Jax wanted!

Isn't he the cutest?!

He looks so grown up here!

UNT vs Louisiana-Lafayette 2012

UNT Football on a Tuesday night? Yes because we were on ESPNU! We played Louisiana-Lafayette and we won 30-23. This one was a nail bitter!

Chance and I tailgating

Mackenzie and I tailgating

It got pretty chilly this night, we definitely didn't plan for it so we had to cover up with towels.

First row on the endzone! We may or may not have been on ESPNU!

Representin' with our green staches!

Half time show!!

One last pic by the Sigma Chi letters before Mackenzie left for Boston :(

The next day after work Mackenzie met me at the Shops at Legacy to hang out and go into some stores. She ended up buying this really cool Texas shirt that has a great story behind it and we bought matching bracelets. Very cute!

After, we went back to Denton to the Midnight Madness for the basketball players. Our basketball team is really good and this was a fun night out to have fun and get the students pumped about the 2012 season. They had a free throw competition, dunking competition, etc..it was fun!

A few weeks later Mackenzie would be back at home in Boston when Hurricane Sandy hit. So I wore this all week since she had the matching one so I could continue to think and pray for her safety and others. I felt it was fitting since it was blue and water is blue ;)

Fair Day 2012 with the Family

This beautiful Sunday my family met up at the State Fair of Texas. Now if you have never been to the State Fair of Texas you are missing out! It's a really big deal! It's the only State Fair in the country to include a full blown auto show, there is the Cotton Bowl where the Red River Rivalry goes down between Texas and Oklahoma...this year Oklahoma won :( But anway, back to the greatness of the fair, it showcases "Birds of the World", has a gondola ride over the entire thing, a 212 foot ferris wheel (the largest in the North America), and a 52 foot tall Big Tex who unfortunately burned down a few days later, one day after his 60th birthday. We are just glad we got our family picture the day we did! Everything will be ok though because next year Big Tex will be back bigger and better than ever!

Here at the fair there are a TON of animal shows, including horse, dog, pig, bird and cows....the list could go on forever. There is also a petting zoo. Pictures from the day are scrambled throughout.

Petting zoo:

Outside the auto show, this is where the water and laser show is:

Chance and I with Big Tex days before he burned :(

Chance and I on the biggest ride there at the fair. Stratosphere- 200 foot tall swing ride. Days later this very ride would get stuck up in the air almost at the top for over 2 hours because of lost power. I'd say we all went on the right weekend because we got to see Big Tex and rode the ride successfully!
