Bridezilla on the loose

We're all so excited that little sissy is finally going to tie the knot with her yummy Brandon in June. The festivities are going to be held at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center (http://www.wildflower.org/), which she picked as her wedding venue when she was in the 7th grade. Bless the little dreamers in all of us, especially the little Kathleens who actually make them come true! Check out their wedding website at: http://www.brandonandkathleen.com/

Trail of Lights

Jonah just loved the trail of lights this year. He practially ran the whole time, but was still very well behaved. Sadie did pretty good, although she got tired of being in the stroller. So, of course, Auntie Leah had to hold her.

Whoa! Fat girl.

Hi Santa

Well, Jonah doesn't seem too thrilled. But Sadie was having a wonderful time. Yay, Christmas!

I love fall

Here's some wonderful pics from a day at the park and halloween.

David and his three wives

Me and my sister along with my cousin loaded up all the kids (7 in all) and visited the Zilker Botanical gardens. Since David was the only male present, it seemed prudent to joke about how he was out with his three wives....I of course was the 1st wife. Anyway, the kids got to run wild and roll in the grass and get all itchy.

Little sister's circus trick, always freaks me out.

Cutie Pumpkin Pie

The kiddos got to go on a little field trip to the Pumpkin Patch this morning while at daycare. It was a little chilly (no for real) so Sadie got bundled up. Jonah hammed it up as usual for the camera.

He got his very own pumpkin!

Still too little to browse.

Back in the sadddle again....

Oh the joys of shovel testing. I finally go to do some survey last week out in the sticks near Georgetown. It's been probably 2+ years since I've actually done any hard labor in the field since I've been pregnant for so long. It was a relatively easy project, however I didn't pack enough water the last day and kind of got the shakes towards the end. I got sunburnt, chiggers, ripped my pants on a barbed wire fence, and got shot at by dove hunters. Overall, a very typical day in the field......wonderful!

An old picture from an excavation in South Africa, ca. 2003. We

spent a couple of months excavating a 50,000 year old campsite. Not only was the excavation amazing, but the entire field season was an adventure. Much thanks to my mentor Dr. Bousman at Texas State University for this awesome experience. My and my crew in South Africa. They were amazing and it was really freezing cold. They called me Missus and seemed to enjoy my Texas-style cooking.

Here I am with a wonderful group of undergrads from Texas State in 2004. We were excavating a site in the Texas Panhandle. I wrote my Master's Thesis on this site. We camped out in the high plains for 6 weeks and loved every minute of it.
