Russell and I went to the Stax Recording Studio with Dad and Buck! We saw where some great legends recorded their hit songs. BB King, Isaac Hays, Gladys Knight and the Pips
Russ and I downtown Memphis at the parade for the Liberty Bowl on Beale Street. Beale Street is famous for their home-cooking BBQ and the Blues....

Our trip to Memphis!
Merry Christmas!
The sweetest dogs wearing their Christmas shirts from Grandma Patterson!
My mom with Jack on Christmas Day!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with their family and friends! Russ and I were lucky to be able to see almost all of our family! Mom and Rick hopped over to CC and enjoyed the Sebring festivities! Mick and Enjoli were in Germany, but hopefully they will come to the states next year! After Christmas we met up with Dad and Buck in Memphis to see the Liberty Bowl! Unfortunately, I only have a few pictures to share....but here they are!

Thanksgiving in Midland
Here are our snow pics from Thanksgiving!
We partake in an American tradition: the snowball fight!
Didn't work out so good for me, though.......
I was really cold!
This pic was taken AFTER he said he was sorry for nailing me with the snowball.
Russell's parents front yard!
Pictures from Fall '07
Oscar didn't quite fit into his hotdog costume this year and he was not happy about posing for this picture!
Me and Bea the cutest dog witch in town!
Russ was in tears from laughing so hard at Bea trying to take off her witch hat. You can see that little things amuse us the most!

Winter Wonderland
Over Thanksgiving break Russ and I made the 9 hour track up to Midland to visit the folks! We had a great time seeing old friends and family and the best part of the trip was the beautiful snow! Now that we live in South Texas we have become accustomed to mild temperatures and haven't felt the extreme cold in a while. Whoa were we COLD!
The morning of Thanksgiving Russell woke me with the news,"It's snowing!" I felt like I was 8 years old on Christmas morning because I ran outside in my PJs to feel the snow. It doesn't snow often and I was scared that it might stop so I had to get out and play in slushy ice, but we were lucky because it snowed all day. We had a snowball fight, which Russ really nailed me. For some reason when we have these little contests on who will get who the most he ALWAYS wins. After I said truce, we got the dogs and tried to get them to cooperate for pictures. Of course they have a mind of their own and do not do what you want them to do.
After the turkey, Russ and his dad went to the deer lease with his crew of camo-wearing, camp-loving friends and I stayed with Mary to sleep and catch up on movies! One thing I have told Russ up front is that I am not a camper and will never be a wife who enjoys going to the deer lease! That is his utopia and mine is AnnTaylorLOFT!
We miss our Midland friends and can't wait to see them again in December at the Sebring's Annual Christmas party!

More Cowbell Anyone?
As most of you know I surprised Russell with Texas/OU tickets for his 30th birthday. We traveled this weekend to Dallas to partake in the annual Red River Shootout. I have to say that watching college football in the Cotton Bowl stadium is a lot of fun.
Since Russ and I did not attend a D-I school we felt left out with the football frenzy that my dad and brother parcipate in so.........we made the executive decision to become die-hard Texas Fans.
When we arrived at the Texas State Fair we made a beeline for Fletcher's Corny Dog stand where we enjoyed the famous state fair corny dog. We did not however try the fried Oreos, marshmellows or snickers that they had, but we have heard they are delicious.
Throughout the pre-game spirit, Russ and I had the task of learning the "Eyes of Texas" so we could act like we knew what we were doing. Nobody wants to be the "drugstore Texas fan" and we weren't about to let anyone know our alias ( Texas State Alumni). Between laughing at each other, trying to master the song and trying to act cool we finally nailed the words! I am proud to say that I was a pro for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters! Russell was even impressed that I managed to memorize words to a song.
As you know the Horns put up a great fight but in the end those darn Sooners went home with the victory. We loved watching the Longhorns in person and feeling the sweat on our faces, swollen hands from clapping and soar throats from yelling because it was a great day! It makes me smile when I remember how much fun Russ had on Saturday!
"I have a fever and the only prescription is.....more cowbell!"
