Go TECH!
Last weekend when Texas Tech played Baylor we got to go out for the game. So our little family, my parents, and my brother's family all traveled out to good ole Lubbock! Wow has it changed in the past few years...it looks amazing. We realized that we really miss Lubbock and that we need to go back and visit more. It was so much fun being able to take our boys and get them all dressed up in Tech gear. Kaiden and Zachary really enjoyed the game. Kaiden was asking tons of questions about the game and Zachary would get mad if I sat down and he could not see. They both took a little nap during the game, don't ask me how they slept through all of that noise. It was really cold towards the end of them game so it was a good thing that we had blankets and were able to bundle the boys up. Here are some pics of our fun visit.

The 4 munchkins, Kaiden 3 1/2, Zachary 9 months, Maggie 7 months, Cameron 4.

Raider Red and his big fans! Kaiden used to not like characters but he went right up to Raider Red and gave him a big hug. I guess he is over his fear. It was too cute!
Zachary would not let go of this foam thing. We got it free at the game from Texas Lotto.

BRRRR...It's cold outside. Pops, Nana, and Zachary all bundled up.

Awesome sunset behind the Tech scoreboard. Tech won 35-28!!!

Thanksgiving with Davaul Family
We traveled to Abilene for Thanksgiving with Nick's family. Nick's dad lives there and his younger sister, niece, and mom traveled from Arizona. It was so great getting to spend Thanksgiving with his family. We missed his older sister and her husband who were unable to travel from Michigan. We had a very interesting and long trip down. It is suppose to take 7 hours and it ended up taking us almost 10. It is hard traveling with two little ones, a dog, and a cat who is very car sick. We had to stop and buy a cage to put him in so he could travel safely. We pulled over several times for "potty" breaks and because Kie, our cat threw up in his cage. We also ran into traffic twice. Did I mention we almost ran out of gas??? We got about 20 miles outside of Abilene and all of the sudden our gas tank dropped from 17 miles to 5 miles to 0 miles! We both prayed inside and luckily the next exit was 2 gas stations and thank goodness one of them was opened. Then we ventured to Walmart at 1:00 in the morning to get a air matress so we could sleep.
We enjoyed a wonderful relaxing week and can not wait to see his family all together again...hopefully christmas next year!
The previous post has pictures of Scarlett our new niece.

Zachary thought the pump for the air matress was hilarious when Nick blew in it.

Our cute boys in matching PJ's...thanks Michele!

He LOVES cheerios!

Meeting Scarlett Olivia
Over Thanksgiving break we finally got to meet our little niece, Scarlett Olivia Davaul. Nick younger sister had Scarlett July 18 of this year. She is absolutely adorable with a beautiful smile. You can tell the resemblance with her and our boys. She loved Kaiden, she though he was hilarious! Zachary just wanted to touch her and kiss all over her. It was great getting to meet her and seeing Nick's sister, Ariane.

We are brainwashing her too!! HAHA


Even our cat Kie enjoyed being around her.

Zachary and Kaiden were trying to kiss her face. Triple kiss!



The Three Amigos!!!
