Well, sorry again for the delay between posts. Couple crazy weeks. Nobody cares that I have been in North Carolina for a week. All I keep hearing is, "when are you going to blog again?" So I will catch you up on things, but first things first.
Texas Tech is currently 8-0 and hosting #1 Texas in Lubbock this weekend. College Gameday will be there, a million Tech fans, as well as myself. Now this did not come without a price. Files called this morning and said his wife had given him the green light for the weekend trip to Lubbock. I needed very little persuading, but I did need at least a yellow light from my wife. So when I got home I approached the subject. "OK," Ann said with disgust, "but here's the deal." Uh oh, the deal. "If you go, you can only watch two football games per week until the end of the season." It didn't take long to decide that I will be headed home to Lubbock for the weekend. I haven't been back to Tech in 3 or 4 years and who could miss the biggest game in school history? So if you watch the game, look for the goofy looking fool in the black Tech shirt.
In other news, here are some pics since my last blog.
Grandma and Papa took Ella, Amy, Scott, and Ann to the Circus in Tulsa. Unfortunately, I had to stay home with Maggie (and I caught a little football while I was at it).
Maggie with her cousin Ella.
Scott and Ella at the Pumpkin Patch in Bartlesville.
Scottie and I got some tickets to the OKC Thunder's first preseason game. He made it until halftime, but that wouldn't have happened without the pack of M&Ms.

TWO????????? What kind of woman are you married to?
I'd have to go with the OU game and the Steelers game. But I'm guessing you'd be picking the Tech games. Ugh.
Wait. Is that two period-or two while she's around?
ann, i think that was a GREAT ultimatum. however, i think you could've gone a little further by adding a weekend trip to scottsdale to see ME! :)
LOVED the pictures. scott and maggie the the 3rd and 4th cutest kids on the planet!!! ;)
russ, thanks for updating the blog. it has been soooo long. by the way, welcome home.
I can't believe you were in NC and not even a call!
Way to go Ann!!! I can't believe I haven't come up with something like that in the past 29 years :-) Can't wait to see all of you in December.
Woohoo! We Sooners fans thank you Red Raiders for breaking off a Longhorn!
Poor Colt McCoy looked SO sad. It was his God-given right to win that game and you snatched it away from him.
Woohoo!
