Halloween Party

Last Saturday night Lance and I went to a Halloween party. No kids allowed. We had a blast. The big thank you goes to my friend Tammi who made our costumes. Seriously she did them in one night. I wish I had that kind of talent. By the way this might be the first time I have worn a costume since Sing Song in college.

Cousins

Last Saturday and Sunday my mom, brother, sister, and I traveled to Louisiana for my aunt's funeral. It was heart wrenching watching her husband, kids, and grand kids suffer and grieve. My memories of my aunt unfortunately all revolve around me being a small child. My extended family has not seen each other very much since we grew up. We used to get together all the time with all the cousins but time and distance seems to keep us apart. So even in the sadness it was great to see all my cousins again. He we are all grown up.

I will say that we are missing our cousing Shannon who could not make it from North Carolina. We missed her.

Most People Would

This picture is special in many regards. First of all it was our annual trek to the Texas State Fair. Secondly the picture commemorates another fabulous Ford family story. Let's set the stage. There we were (mom, Autumn, and me) at the end of the Birds of Prey show. Marilyn wanted a picture with us, so as all good groups do, we stopped a passerby to take our picture. The guy that we hand the camera to kind of chuckles and says, "Well this is a first for me." We are confused but proceed with the picture taking. Not until he is walking away that my mom recognizes him as someone we should all know. He is walking away when my mom yells down the stairs to him, "I know you're a singer but I can't think of your name." As he walks away - too far away to get a decent picture, he calls back "Micheal Buble." Yeah, I know most people get their picture taken with famous people, but not us. We get our picture taken by famous people.

Before and After

It has been a while since we cut Nash's hair. The 14th of September to be exact, but after seeing these pictures I knew I had to post what a dramatic change it actually was. Here is the before
