State Fair Fun!

This year I went to the fair with my good friend Beth. She's from Nebraska and had never been before, so it was a lot of fun to show her all the fun fair stuff. We started our trip to the fair by riding the DART.


It was a lot of fun and way cheap. Once we got there we had to get a yummy full fat corn dog. I probably could've eaten the whole thing but, I passed so I could eat other fabulous FRIED food. So before we stuffed our faces with all the fried food we rode the swings. My fav next to the roller coaster.:) Here's a pic of me right before we got on the swings.



I think I passed the height requirement, but barely. Hehe!



Beth right before the swings got going. I was going to get a pic of myself too but then the swings got going and we were off. Oh and FYI if you guys ever ride the swings, don't sit on the outside seat...you will twist a lot...which is what I did. It was a lot of fun!

After that we went on a mission to find FRIED COOKIE DOUGH.




It was soo good. We also tasted fried oreos and fried peanut butter cups. My fav was still the fried cookie dough. I saw the fried butter but it really grossed me out.

We passed by the Cotton Bowl

It would be soo fun to see a game there some day.

By 10pm it started raining so Beth and I bolted to the DART.

Lesson Learned

The other day I went to Marshell's and found the cutest red patent wedge shoes. I tried on the display shoe and it fit, so I grab the shoebox with my size and head to check out. I was in a hurry to get to car pool so I didn't check the size of the shoes in the box. The next day I go to put them on and the right shoe is just a bit snug...that's because I came home with 1 size 6 shoe instead of 2 7 1/2's. So, gals always check the size of your shoes before you buy them. Don't trust that the check out person will do it.

I'm 29...WOOHOO!

I turned 29 on September 29th, and this is what I saw when I went to work...


Froggie made me this sign for my bday. When I came in the house after picking him up from school this sign was hanging in the entry way. He's such a sweetheart. He and I always make signs like this for his parents' bdays and it was soo sweet of him to do that for me. What a great way to start the celebration! The weekend before my birthday one of my best friends from San Antonio - Angela came to visit along with her husband. We had a great time going to see Julie and Julia and shopping. Angela and I cooked my Mom's artichoke dip and spaghetti casserole for dinner. It was soo yummy. I was a little stressed while cooking for 5 people, but I know that with time it will get easier. I know if Julia Childs can do it so can I. We ended the fun weekend watching the Green Bay Packers game at Top Golf and trying our hand at a little golf. I'm not that great at golf but it was a lot of fun!


I also had a fun dinner out with Froggie and his Mom at Mi Cocina. That has become one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Dallas. I loved having my margarita and cheese enchiladas.

To top of my birthday I went to Brittany & Mikes for dinner. They both cooked a fabulous meal for me. We had steak and shrimp kabobs, twice baked potatoes, and a zucchini and squash casserole. Then Brittany made Tresleches cake. It was soo good. Clay was too cute and just ate the icing.:) I will have to get that recipe from her. Thanks for the great dinner guys!

All in all I had the best birthday ever. I feel so blessed to have all my friends and family in my life. This coming weekend I'm going to San Antonio to celebrate my bday as well as my Mom's. More pics to come.

Oh and some people keep asking me if I feel older..



Nope not yet! Maybe I will once I hit the big 3-0.
