Slacker....

I always have good intentions to write more often, but it never seems to happen!

Greg and I bought our anniversary present over the weekend. We are the proud owners of a Wii and trust me it is addicting! We are going to ask for some games for Christmas.

The Cowboys played a great game over the weekend. This weekend should be an easy game for them.

Greg is working with the colt we have at our house. He put a saddle on him today and I guess he didn't really like it. I'll try to remember to get some pictures of him to post.

I am entering a pumpkin pie dessert in the United Way cook off on Friday. I made a trial run on Saturday and it passed at the football watch party. I hope the real thing turns out as well as the practice on.

I bought a Chi or a Croc flat iron. I'm pretty excited about it. I get to pick it up tonight after work. I got my hair cut last week and ordered it. I'm not sure which on Sheryl got for me. Her preference was the Croc.

I'm addressing invitations for Toni and Tracy's wedding tonight. I started on Sunday, but we run out of time.

The weather has finally turned somewhat cold. There was a light frost last night. I think it may be the end of the tomato plants. I picked a bunch this weekend and some that were nearing last night.

Not a whole lot is going on other than that. I finally won at Bunco last week. I split the biggest loser pot, so I won my $5 back.

I'll try to get pictures loaded sometime this week.

Happy Anniversary to us (yesterday)

I meant to post yesterday, but time escaped me and I'm short on time today too. So here are a few quick photos from last year on October 20th. I can't believe a year has gone by already. We went to dinner last night, but our plans didn't work out they way we hoped. Oh well.


A very fitting picture if you know what Greg does for a living.

To brighten your day...

I don't know how to dress myself. I need my mommy to come help me.

I went walking with Kara yesterday and picked up two different tennis shoes. Luckily, I had one for each foot, so I could still go walking, but I looked like an idiot.

Where has my mine gone????

Tulsa State Fair Cakes

At the Tulsa State Fair, there is a sugar art cake decorating competition. It has been featured on the Food Network.
Below are some of the pictures my friend Kara took while we were there:












I highly recommend checking it out if you are need Tulsa the first weekend of the fair.

Orange Peel...

So I'm headed off to Orange Peel tonight. It is a concert that is suppose to be like a pep rally. The Cowboys play Texas A & M tomorrow. In concert is Sugarland, Kellie Pickler, Motion City Soundtrack, and Ashton Shepherd. I'm not sure how excited I am to be going. We are eating dinner with the President. I hope the food is good, but I doubt it will be.

Greg took me to lunch today, because he is a great husband!!!

Go Tigers and Cowboys! If they both win, it will be the battle of the undefeated teams next weekend! :)

It's October already?? where does the time go?

I've been getting a few complaints about not updating the blog (aka Butch) so here it goes:


Pictures from the MO State Fair at the pig races:

The infamous Barbie cake, complients of Karla from the 4-H office. The pink sprinkles are actually little pigs.

After the state fair, I started my new job at Career Services. Things are going well, hectic because it is recruiting season, but they will calm down soon. I hope.

Greg headed to his parents for a few days in August to help with the Missouri Angus Tour in Southeast Missouri. He hauled Angus (the horse) and a few calves home on that trip.

Greg came back and then headed to Montana for a few days for meetings. I went to the Payne county fair with Kara and had a corn dog and curly fries.

Greg in Montana for meetings:


He came back and then it was football season. The Cowboys and Tigers are both off to a great start. We have been tailgating when we can.

I gave up football tickets to help Greg wean some calves (am I great wife or what?) We also worked them and we didn't yell at each other too much, mainly just Greg yelling at the calves for being dumb.

A few days later, Greg headed to his parents to deliver these calves. (Do we see a reoccuring pattern here?, Greg goes home, Lesley works, Greg goes somewhere, Lesley stays home, I guess someone has to hold the fort down.) He was gone for week. While he was gone, I went to the Oklahoma City State Fair with my friend Kara. We had lemonade and indian tacos. We had a great time and did some shoppping. Greg came back and built a pen for our new horse. He weaned it on Thursday so it should move to our house sometime in the next week or so.

We went to the Tulsa State Fair on Sunday with Kara because the Sugar Art cake competion was going on. I'll post pictures of that when I get them from Kara. I'm a dork about those kinds of things. I had a funnel cake there.

Andy and Jessica are getting married in a little over a month. So I'll be back in Missouri then. I can't believe it is already October. Bunco is going well, I enjoy it. We have a couple of weddings coming up soon. I canned for the first time in August. It was some salsa. I think I'll have to make some more this weekend. My mind is going blank and my lunch break is almost over, so if anything else great comes to mind, I'll try to post it.

IT'S ANOTHER BOY!!!!

Bethany and Dusty Davis had their first child, a boy yesterday, September 8, 2008. They named him Brody Wayne. He was 9 lbs. 3.5 oz, 22.5 inches long and was born at 2:12 p.m. I don't have any other details, this is all the text message said.

CONGRATULATIONS! I can't wait to see your bundle of joy! :)


The baby flood of 2008 continues..........
