Vegas

At the end of November Matt and I headed to Vegas for our first Tutor Doctor conference. We arrived on a Wednesday and did not step foot outside until Saturday afternoon when the conference was over. I am serious. The only reason we knew it was raining and cold is because our phones told us. It was non stop but lots of good information and ideas. I wish we would have had more time to go to a show or two but they kept us busy from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. or later. Matt did go down to the casino one night and play blackjack for a bit. I went up to the room and went to bed. I never knew sitting all day could be so exhausting. Saturday after the conference was over we had about 3 hours to do the strip before we had to head to the airport. We went to the Bellagio to see the water show but it was too windy so we did not get to see it. But the inside was decorated for Christmas which made me happy!





Yes Please!



Here are some other random shots before we had to head to the airport.




Oh, and you better believe we are in our Baylor gear! When we got home that night, well actually Sunday morning at 2 a.m. my husband watched the Baylor texas game. He avoided the TV and his phone all day so he would not know what was going on. I on the other hand knew exactly what was going on and reading the play by play on my phone! Sic Em Bears!

Christmas Tree Chopping






The Sunday after Thanksgiving we headed to a cute little Christmas tree farm to chop down a tree. We walked around for a while but then ended up just buying one they had shipped in. It was a fun experience, Cam had a blast with the wagon.

In-N-Out





Matt has talked about In-N-Out burger for a while and Cam and I finally got to experience it while we were in Dallas. Everything is so fresh and Cam loved the fries. We let her have ketchup for the first time so she would dip the fry then lick the ketchup off and re dip. Unbelievable. And she loved the hats they handed out!

Gaylord Ice









One night while we were in Grapevine we headed to the Gaylord for Ice. You walk though ice sculptures and this year the theme was Shrek. It was 3 degrees inside but we had so much fun!



Ok, this picture is my child stuck on the ice slide. She was stuck for about 5 minutes. Koby (my brother) had just gone down and Matt was behind her about to go. They would not let Koby go up and get her or Matt slide down. I understand liability and all that but they had no plan of action in case something like this happened. They just kept telling us we had to wait for her to come down. I was beyond mad after a few minutes of my child laying on ice in 3 degrees yelling "mommy help, I stuck." Finally they let me walk to the bottom of the slide and I just told her to wiggle and finally she came down. She was not crying at all but told me "mommy, I really cold." My sweet sweet girl. Those workers are lucky my preggo self kept it together.

Great Wolf Lodge




For Thanksgiving we headed to Great Wolf Lodge with my mom's side of the family. We had so much fun hanging out, eating, and playing in the water park! This place is amazing! Camryn had so much fun and loved the water park! We closed it down every night we were there! Wish I would have taken more pictures!

Baylor Homecoming!!

November 5 we headed to Waco for Camryn's first Baylor Homecoming. Last year we were out of town so we were really excited about this year. One of my friends made her the cutest Baylor shirt and by the end of the day you could not even tell it was a white shirt. She was a mess! Here's a play by play of our day...We left College Station around 6:30am, made it to the parade by 8:30, lunch with my friends then spent the rest of the day tailgating with Matt's friends and the game. We WON!! We left Waco around 10pm and Cam never napped but was such a trooper and had so much fun. She was out before we even got out of Waco. It was such a wonderful day hanging out with great friends that we don't get to see enough of! Can't wait for next year and having a new addition with us!!












Halloween





Happy Halloween!

On Sunday, the 30th our church had a fall festival. Camryn went as a cowgirl because I was worried about her getting chilly.



On Halloween we had Matt's family over. We made dinner, a cake and halloween cookies! Camryn was such a big help. We didn't have many trick-or-treaters so now we have all this candy and feel compelled to eat it! Next year we are not getting as much. How cute is our little Snow White?!?!
