Some pictures from the Cotton Bowl!

since i haven't posted pictures in forever - and people are starting to make comments - here are a few from our trip to dallas. we are still out here - just one more night - but we've had a great time! and it's even better since our rebels pulled out an impressive win today!

we have run into so many friends - some who read my blog, right story?

hotty toddy - enjoy!

and beware - there are a lot! and i'm not going to work with the spacing and all - we've got to go eat!!!

{welcome to the COTTON BOWL!}
{getting ready to go eat with mommy, daddy, and mr david. you know that we don't go anywhere without lily and the "pink berry" cell phone! (thanks, parker!)}
{coloring at matito's - a mexican resturant with THE BEST salsa! and staying in the lines pretty well, mrs katrice!}
{2 of the barnette rebels - day 2}

{daddy and mr david with the rebel girl at dick's last resort. we were waiting for the parade to start}

{we're all smiles - and ready for the parade!!!}

{with mommy and daddy at the parade - sorry for the sunlight and all. it's one of those "hold out the camera and pray it's a good shot" pictures!}

{in front of the old texas schoolbook depository near where jfk was shot. we were walking from the american airlines center back to the hyatt}

{our friend, and former rebel football player, tyrone ashley (center) with romaro miller and deuce mcallister after the radio show}

{with mrs jennifer and ty getting ready to leave for the stadium! - day 3}

{hanging out with daddy before the game. no comments on the scruff on tommy's face, please. he does this every year between Christmas and new year's}

{when we got in the game, our seats were right behind romaro and deuce!}

{of course lily couldn't miss the cotton bowl! but towards the end of the game, undoubtedly it was time for a bottle...}

{this really doesn't need any kind of caption, does it?}

{our family - with lily, of course - after the win! all of you that were texting me during the game - notice that i kept my phone near by.....see the pink peaking out of my pocket???}

{our quarterback, jevan snead, after the game!}

{a rare picture of me and tommy}
