From nose bleeds to hard woods...

With Houston being our home town we are fans of the basketball team the Houston Rockets... Blake and I typically sit way up in the nose bleeds but having the Williams as a sister and brother -n-law has many advantages and this is just one of them... They are a blessing to so many people in so many ways but one way they love on people are being the human version of "ticketmaster"... they have some of the best seats for the Rockets and while we were in town Blake and I went from the nose bleeds to the hard wood floors...

Before the game we stopped in their suite to have some good food and get pumped up for the game...

The great thing about this night is that we had good seats yes but this was the first time that I had seen Blake in 5 weeks... he had been working in the gulf on the rig and I was traveling around Texas visiting friends and family... his plane landed, a taxi dropped him off at the game with bags in tow and we picked him up to go to the game... It was so good to see him... long hair and all.



Check out these seats... right behind the camera people that are sitting on the floor (no chair)... pretty cool to be that close but I was paying attention the whole time to make sure that no one landed in our laps...Here are some of the pictures we got of the fabulous night.




Pierce loves this picture... the mascot...

And someday he will love this picture... but not yet Thank God.


Terrible picture of me but my man looks good... I love the long hair... lets just say that the next day it was cut off...




The half time show is always my favorite part of a basketball game... everyone else likes to leave during this time and go to the restroom and get drinks but I love talent and these guys were talented...

Not sure if you can tell but his spinning on his head while taking his coat off at the same time...

The 3 of us... Keith could not make it that night... we missed you and thanks to JUJU and Uncle KW for the seats and a great night...

Good Ol' College Station!

On our way to FTW/Dallas we stopped in College Station to see The Mays, eat some Freebirds and catch a basketball game.... we had so much fun.
I know alot of my blogger readers love Miss Sara May... here is a precious picture of our sweet little Angel... I love you Miss. May.

Pierce had so much fun playing with Matilda Josephina May (aka Matty).

For dinner we headed to Freebirds. Aunt JuJu and Uncle Keith joined in the fun... we love some bird.

After we put Pierce to bed we headed to the TAMU vs. TT basketball game... yes we did win but the best part was learning all the new traditions and changes with the basket ball fans since Blake and I were in college. To my knowledge Basketball was not very big when I was in college... little attendance (and Blake says we were no good)... man things have changed in AggieLand, look at the student section.


While they introduce the other team... the TAMU student section holds up newspapers.... hilarious.

Entertaining half time show... and I am not talking about the Aggie dance team.
And a NEW band... what... they can color their hair maroon, wear hats, have facial hair, dance... what is going on?


OH MYYYYY... have the fans changed???? Check this guy out.. I had to video tape this.. he would perform his duty when the other team was attempting a free throw... wow...I wonder if he is still proud?

The next morning Sara and I drove to Shipleys and got some donuts... this was Pierce's first time to ever have donuts... do you think these two were happy?
Thank you Sara and Kathy for having us... we love you so much and thanks to the Williams for the basketball tickets... we had so much fun.
