I love everyone of these guys, cause they first include me in on everything and I know if i needed anything they would be there!!!! We all got together at the Watsons Saturday for Suanne's birthday and we had a blast..we ate and watched football and us girls played a game and we laughed so hard i could not hardly breathe!!! In one part of the game you have to Hum well Suanne TRIED to hum a song that we all knew but.....it didnt sound anything like it.....OMG we laughed and laughed....even though u can not hum worth a darn...we still love ya!!!!!

We first had pizza, everyones favorite and then went to First Baptist for their Trunk and treat which was fun and then back to the house to pass out candy....it was unbelievable how many trick or treaters we had!!!!! Thanks Jacob for helping me pass out the candy!!!!

Later after everyone left Rachel and her friends (kiley, Morganbeth and Chelsea) hung around cause they were want me and Tracy to take them to the Cemetary....well Tracy didnt want to cause she was afraid it would spook her and rocky was going to be gone. so I told them I woud. Well we didnt quite make it out of the house because just as we were leaving someone pounded on my back door really loud...and all five of us yes i said ALL five of us started screaming...so we went outside to see if we could see anyone and couldnt so we searched all around the house and then all of the sudden someone jumped off my ROOF!!!! well the girls chased out after them...come to find out it was a couple of the girls friends and my friends son JoJo Staires was the one on the roof!!!! they were dressed in black and their faces painted red...scared us to death but all in all it was a great time.....reminded me of the stunts me and my friends use to pull when we were younger!!!! oh yeah one more thing later on that night Tracy took the girls, at midnight, to where the boys were spending the night to scare them and the girls dress all in black and it back fired on them the boys scared them AGAIN...so the war is on!!!! lol

GO POKES!!!!!!!!

Wow its been a while since i last posted and so much to post and tell but i will post one at a time!!! Last Friday we all went to Stillwater for the homecoming walk around. This is my 3rd year to go and i will have to say this has been the busiest year for it there were so many people there u could not hardly even walk. Must have been because the COWBOYS ARE RATED NUMBER SIX!!!!!! WOOOOHOOOOO

But we did have a great time. Terri, Amy, Haylee, Jamison and I left around noon and headed to Stillwater to spend some time with Tyler and Katie so our first stop was Tylers "FRAT" house what an experiance!!!! actually it was pretty clean!!!!!!! then we headed over to Katie and Stephanies apartment and then shopping!!!!!! and then we all went to the Texas Roadhouse and you know at Texas Roadhouse they sing happy birthday to you while they make u set on a saddle well it was the guy behind us birthday and after they sang to him Haylee proceeds to telll our waitress it was her birthday, which isnt until november 8th, so next thing we know they are bringing the saddle and some ice cream to Haylee....we all just cracked up at her. I have posted some pictures below of that.

Later Tracy and Rocky and their kids joined up with us and we all went to the walk around. Mandy didnt get to go this year because Bryson was sick. We did miss you guys!!!!

Anyway we had a great time and I posted some pictures of our night!!!!!!!!!
