We are hoping to have our "Gun's Up" a lot this weekend!!! 
Look for us on College Gameday.....ok, you really don't have to look for us bc there is no way we will be on TV but we will be checking it all out!
School Halloween party today....Ramsey looks thrilled to be there but she really did have fun. I love that all the kids have given up looking at the camera, this was the last picture I took. And yes, Ramsey is one of the smallest kids, if not the smallest. 
School picture again, first one I took. (sorry they are out of order)
At the neighborhood fall festival......she loved the pony until the saddle slipped, then she wanted off right away! She talked about it for days!!!
Bryson is ready for some football! Starting Offensive Lineman 2028 for TTU.
Daddy and Bryson (someday I will have Dustin take my picture with the kids!)To the crunchy mom at Whole Foods on Monday:
Did you think I didn't see you give my daughter that look of disgust because she was coughing?? Well guess what "Mrs. I shop at Whole Foods in Plano therefore I am better than you" I did see it and I think you are rude. If it makes you feel any better, she has allergies....the cough was not contagious although if it was, I would have told her to find you again and cough in your face.
Rude, yes. But you started it!!!!! (so now I am rude and immature, oh well)
I know you probably think that just because my daughter wasn't matching that we were some rag-a-muffins off the street but I let her pick out her outfit bc some things just aren't worth fighting over. I knew we would get some glances but your piercing stare just about sent me over the edge.
There is a reason that I rarely go to WF, because of the crunchy moms like you. Guess what, I have the same green shopping bags as you and my organic milk tastes just the same as yours!
Sincerely,
Lori
And since I am already griping I will now say my peace about The Biggest Loser......I have loved this show since it started years ago and am always so encouraged by the contestants. I have to say that this year is really ticking me off. I really don't like the married couple that used to be the brown team. They are there to play the game, and that is fine bc it is a game after all, but they are making it more about the game than getting healthy. Isn't the whole point of the show to make a life transformation??? Why get into all the petty stuff? Can't you just shut your mouth, work out and lose weight?
Oh and one more thing....for the love of God, please stop the lame product placement segments. We all now know that we should drink Brita filtered water, chew extra gum, eat Jenni-O turkey and jell-o. We get it, now shut-up!!!
Ahhhhh, I feel so much better now!
I have had a drama filled day and we haven't even had lunch yet....come to think of it, I never even ate breakfast.
Life in suburbia is always exciting. Sure, you city folks have the night life, the bars, the fancy-shmanshi restaurants and all that jazz but you can't beat our housewife drama!! That's all I've got to say about that.
However, the real drama today has involved Miss Hot Pink Barbie herself. She for sure woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. All was fine until we tried to socialize. We didn't get to go on the planned walk bc I am TRYING to really follow with my discipline. So, I made a promise to myself and girlfriend that if I tell Rams that we are going to leave if she doesn't stop the drama (not listening, crying, whining, not sharing etc) then we REALLY WILL LEAVE. Today was day 1 of this (only bc yesterday she had school) and I have to say I think it was effective. I am sure CPS will be knocking on my door any minute from the complaints from the neighbors as I walked us all back home but I am pretty sure she got the point. She is currently passed out in her chair from crying so hard. I know, I know, I am a mean mommy but I gave her multiple chances to straighten out her attitude and it didn't happen so why should she get to do what she wanted to do??? I mean if anything, it was my walk that gotten taken away from me. I am the one trying to lose weight so I got punished too.
Alas, it is better that we did this today just in the 'hood and not out in public. Could you imagine me draggin Miss Thang back to the car screaming and crying??? Let's all start praying that doesn't happen and if it does and you are around......buy me some wine.
DRAMA
Clearly, I still don't have a good picture of both of them together. Bryson was NOT in any danger in this photo!! Ramsey looks cute though!!
Here is a cute one of the boy!First of all, shout out to my sister Meg and cousin Carin! They both celebrated their 29th birthday yesterday for the 2nd year in a row!!! And by the way, how crazy is it that my mom and my aunt both had babies on the same day of the same year?!?!?! Anyway, happy birthday to both of them, I hope all their wishes come true this year!
So, this was a crazy busy weekend in the B house. I don't even remember all that we did but I know some of it consisted of the Susan G. Komen race (AWESOME AND INSPIRATIONAL), our neighborhood fall festival, the strangest trip to Costco ever, dinner out with my sisters and friends, and I also got to take a nap!!!!
Tomorrow is picture day at Ramsey's school. I am a little annoyed that we don't get to look at the pictures before we order them (the last MDO that she went to that was an option). I have no doubt that Ramsey will look cute but what about the kid that closes his eyes or is looking the wrong way?? Is that the picture you proudly hang on your wall? Now that I have jinxed myself with Ramsey's picture I better wait to order the 8x10...I can always scan it in at walmart and get another one made!!!
So tomorrow I am heading out with some of the ladies from my mom's group to walk in the Susan G. Komen for the cure. I am really excited about doing this because 1. it is such a great cause 2. I love the ladies I am doing it with 3. I know I will feel like I accomplished something.
Now, 3.1 miles is not a long distance by any means....I mean my brother-in-law is preparing to run in his 3rd marathon.....but this is not about the distance. This is about women joining together to fight for the cure of breast cancer. There will be people there currently undergoing treatment, there will be people that have lost loved ones and are walking for them and there will be survivors....they all have reasons for being there and I am proud to be in the mix.
Tomorrow as I walk I will be thinking about 2 people that have recently been diagnosed. One, a friend of my sisters and the other a very close family friend. Both are just starting their journeys, both are brave, both have a great support system and I will walk with both in my mind.
I know it will be emotional and I will probably cry all the way, heck I am crying just thinking about it, but I am ready to feel like I have done some good!
