Walking adventure

As most of you know, I have an odd obsession with walking and pregnancy hasn't stopped that. (Thank goodness considering how much weight I've gained with walking almost everyday, I can't even imagine what I would weigh if I didn't walk!) Anyways, last week I was walking with Dakota and we were being terrorized by a unleashed boxer that had escaped from his backyard. I was having a minor panic attack and Dakota was going crazy trying to protect me (as I struggled trying to hold him back from the dog) and show the other dog "who was boss". Well the dog follows us for about two miles and I called Josh about 3 times asking him what I should do (unfortunately he was no help!!) Well we are walking across one of the many road bridges in our neighborhood and I happen to look down at the water and see ......an ALLIGATOR! That's right, the dog is no longer my concern for now there is a giant alligator just hanging out and sun bathing in the neighborhood. I called Josh to tell him of the NEW big news and he says well the signs say "do not swim, waters may contain snakes and alligators". I respond by saying "may contain" and "look at the alligator less then 10 feet away from where I am about to walk, is totally different." It was completely crazy and I still can't believe it. Here are some photos that I took from my cell phone, they are sort of far away, but as you can imagine, I wasn't brave enough to get any closer. I did have to walk on the path right above him (where the shrubs are) but I pretty much ran that part and wasn't about to try and take a picture! Oh and the dogs never saw him (thankfully) and the boxer's (who I almost forgot was following us at this point) owner drove up about ten minutes later and picked him up. It was a very adventuress walk for one day!

Boomer Sooner!

This weekend we were very lucky to get two tickets to the OU/A&M game. It was the first Sooner's game that we've seen in person all year, so it was really fun. It was a fantastic game, with great weather and we had great seats! You can't beat the front row on the 10 yard line (Thanks again Terrell). It was amazing to see how big the players really are up close. We even got to be on TV! Tailgating before and after the game was even more fun and it was nice to be around other Sooner fans for awhile. Here are some pictures from the game, keep in mind they were taken from my phone, so they aren't the best!

As always, the band was fantastic! And as Terrell said "we never lose a half time!"

Halloween

Last weekend Josh and I just sort of hung around the house, so there wasn't much to write about. Halloween was fun. We went and got take out and watched TV while the neighbors came by. We were told to expect a lot of kids and did get a few, but not as many as we could have. Our neighbors across the street from us were having a "Halloween Block Party" complete with strobe lights and creepy music, so most of the kids and parents were over there and never crossed the street to our house. That being said, we still had about 75 kids come by. We even had one little boy that is 4 years old, ring the door bell and say "Boomer Sooner!" (He lives two house's over from us.) Needless to say, he got extra candy! We (I say "we", Josh says this part is all me) also figured that this was Chewy's last Halloween as the "baby", so she got all dressed up and greeted the kids at the door. She did like all the kids coming by and saying how cute she was, but as you can see in the pictures, she did not like the antenna hat! No worries Chewy! Next year, I will have Mason to torture! Ha ha!

Not a happy camper!

Chewy a little happier without the antenna's.
