Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

I made some yummy cupcakes from scratch yesterday....chocolate chip cupcakes with a chocolate glaze. Delish!! It is dangerous to have 18 cupcakes sitting in the kitchen.......Rayce has eaten like 5 so far. I am trying to be good. But now I want one.....

Halloween decorations...Part Dos

Here are a few more decorations.......

I got this idea from Martha Stewart Halloween magazine last year. It was so much fun to make! I got the templates for the pumpkins and black cats from the magazines and made them out of construction paper. I decided to make other ornaments using scrapbooking paper and fun ribbon (a gingham ribbon and a ribbon with little candy corns on it). I found the branch in the backyard and spray painted it black. Rayce helped me find the perfect branch. The whole project cost under $7. I got everything at Wal-Mart and a local scrapbook store. Don't mind the faux wood paneling in the background.....

Easy idea: Candy corn in mason jars or vases and cheap candles. A cute, inexpensive decoration....

I love decorating for holidays!

Well, Rayce and I are off to take a walk.

Halloween

Here are a couple of pictures of the pumpkins we have decorated so far......

Bloggy Buddy surprise

My friend Natalie came up with an idea for a "bloggy party", where her friends who blogged could exchange presents (kind of like a "secret santa" only for halloween and not so secret!). I got mine in the mail today from my bloggy buddy Lauren and I looooove it! I thought I would share, because it is just too cute!! I also got some candles, dishtowels, and candy corn! Can't wait for the Christmas bloggy party!

Love this site

This site is so much fun. Really kitschy and I heart it a lot. They have stationery, fun invitations, party favors, and tons of other stuff. Spitfiregirl.com

I love this postcard. I so want to send them out when Rayce and I move in May.

Funny baby shower invitations......I would love to get one of these in the mail.

EmBEARassed.

Rayce and I went to the OU/Baylor in Waco and we beat the Bears pretty good. 49-17! It was HOT at the game too. My nose got sunburned! We rode to Waco with Trent and got to hang out with Blake while we were there. He is living there now and is going to a church planting school. Very cool. I also ran into Kadrian, Kyle, Aunt Sandra, and Uncle Mark. Totally random. Here are some pictures from the weekend

Rayce, Trent, Blake, and Scott.....at Common Grounds coffee shop. Good stuff!!




The Baylor marching band did a movie montage. One of the songs was a song from E.T. A little boy rode a bike across the field like in the movie (he didn't fly though, much to my disappointment!)

The cutest little boys sat in front of us. They had Sooner jerseys, little football pants, and red converse hi-tops. So cute!

I got a corn dog at the game and much to my dismay the end looked like a finger. I couldn't eat the rest.

Can't wait for OU/Texas next weekend!!!!

BOOMER SOONER!

I thought I would put up some pictures from the OU home games so far......Rayce and I have been to all of them and will be going to the rest. I LOVE OU FOOTBALL SEASON!! We also went to the OU-Baylor game in Waco, but I put those pictures in another post. OU is doing aweseome this season. Let's just hope the streak continues!! :)


Singing our alma mater. We are #1!!!

We all had our Solaray sunglasses on! I love that I went all the way to China

to choose sunglasses and know we are wearing them to OU games. That is fun to think about.

More to come throughout the season!

An enigma, condundrum, etc. etc.

So I got into a debate this weekend with two boys (one being my husband, the other being Trent). We were sitting at Buffalo Wild Wings and somehow got on the subject of brother-in-laws and sister-in-laws. I mentioned to Rayce something about Amy (my brother's wife) being his sister-in-law and he said "She is your sister-in-law not mine". I was like "are you kidding me?" And he said he wasn't and that "just because she is your sister-in-law doesn't mean she is mine". I explained to him that they both married into the family and therefore they were sister and brother-in-law. Trent and he both disagreed with me.

I went further and asked Rayce "so when your brother gets married his wife would not be my sister-in-law" and they both said "no". I posed the same question to Trent. When he got married Candy (his brother's wife) couldn't call his wife her sister-in-law.

I just couldn't accept this. So I proceeded to try to get them to my side. I text messaged Brooke and asked her what she thought and she and jonathan (her boyfriend) both agreed with me. Then both boys called their moms and they agreed with me as well. So Trent then proceeds to ask our waitress and she agreed with me. And then they aske ANOTHER waiter who FINALLY agreed with them...but he was a guy.

What do you think? I am interested to hear what other people think about the subject. I guess I had never really thought about it, because in my family we always thought the way I did. My mom married my dad therefore he is the brother in law of her sisters as well as their husbands.

So I finally looked it up on two different dictionary websites and lo and behold, I was right about the whole subject, but they still wouldn't agree. I am baffled.

To his credit, my husband did say "It doesn't change the way I love Amy and Patricia (the sister-in-laws). So that was sweet, but he is still wrong.

So maybe it just has to do with different family situations....and maybe even gender somewhat.....but then again I know guys who agree with me.

I know it's not a huge deal, but it was something I had never really thought about. Opinions? Confusing I know.
