Christmas in Decatur!

It was pretty much chaos, but great chaos! Brownwood pix coming soon.

Isabella LeeAnn

The newest addition to the Evans family. She's beautiful!

Thanksgiving 08

We went to Decatur first and most of my siblings and nieces and nephews came over. Then the next day we went to my Gaga and Papaw's for Thanksgiving lunch, played some games and took some pictures. Then we drove to Plano to see Isabella, the new baby, then drove to Brownwood to have Thanksgiving with Chad's family. I wasn't very good about taking pictures this time, I don't know what I was thinking. Anyways it was a wonderful time even though we had to drive so much!

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

Me, Hannah,and my new friend Brandi went out on the town in Lubbock and had such a great time singing all night long! (I don't know why these pictures are so small)

Brody's Buck

My nephew shot an 11 point buck. Pretty good for an 8 year old!

Hannah's wedding shower

I guess one good thing about living out here in Levelland is I got to go my friend Hannah's shower. Then we spent the day with her parents, sister, and niece Kealyn. And her mom is a great cook! Hannah is from a tiny town by Levelland called Whiteface, which is where we might be living. I don't really care where I live, I'm just sick of living in a hotel. Oh well it could be worse. Thanks Clawsons!

Chad in Big Bend

Chad had to go to Big Bend on a special work detail. He had to collect data to develop ecological site descriptions. I don't know what it means but sure sounds important!

Brody and Brac

Tickle Monster

Mom and Bubba's Birthdays

Went home for mom and Fred's birthdays. We threw a surprise party for my mom who turned fifty. I don't know how surprised she was but we tried. I loved getting to see everybody. Wish Chad could have came but he was off working in Big Bend National Park. Hopefully i can get some of those pictures. Happy Birthday Mom and Bubba!

More stuff in August

Sorry just now posting these. I haven't had internet, but this is some of the fun stuff we did with Chad's family at Lake Texoma. We had a blast!

Family Portrait

More family get togethers!

We went to my Uncle Steve's and he cooked us all a wonderful dinner. Curt came in from Wyoming so it was great to see him. Jake played the guitar and sang to us. It was great to see all of my family this week. I missed them so much!

Fun in Oklahoma

My Pop and Grump finally got back from their summer long road trip to Alaska so we went and spent the day with them. We rode the gator, played dominoes, and ate lots of really good food, nothing better than that!

family picture day

It was so great to be with my family. We all got together to get family portraits taken. I haven't been home since January so I was getting pretty homesick. But I had the best time with my siblings, parents, neices, nephews, and of course my husband!

4th in Fredricksburg

What a great time we had in Fredricksburg. Rick and Cindy took me, Chad and Chris to a bed a breakfast. The guys went to play golf and the girls went shopping! We got to eat at Rather Sweet which had the best desserts. We even got to go to Luckenbock! It was awesome being where Willie had played so many times. We ate way to much this weekend but it was worth it. Thanks Dad and Cindy for a wonderful weekend!

I'm a star! Not really

Here I am singing the national anthem at the Pecos Rodeo. Pecos is the where the world's first rodeo was held. One of the very few cool things about Pecos. I also sang a week before at Pecos's annual golden girl pagent and made the newspaper. Woohoo!

Family visit

Chad's mom, and two brothers came to Pecos for a visit. Chad and Chris played in a golf tournament and won! We were very proud. We went to a dance later that it. It was so nice to have company. Thanks for coming!

Anniversary pix

Our 1 Year Anniversary!

What a year it has been. They say the first year of marriage is one of the toughest, but ours was pretty easy (and that's even with us moving to Pecos). I know we haven't been at this very long, but God has truly blessed us with a wonderful marriage. And we will continue to work hard at it! We went to Midland for dinner, Chad surprised me with flowers and Reese's peanut butter cups, and I made him biscuits and chocolate chip cookies (both from scratch, thank you very much!). What a great anniversary it has been. We are fixing to eat the to of our wedding cake! Sorry, for some reason it won't let me upload some pictures.

our garden

Jennifer wanted to see our garden so here it is. Not much to it, just like 3 or 4kinds of tomatoes and some radishes. We also planted some flowers but they haven't bloomed yet. They take a while to grow. But that's ok, it's just fun planting something and seeing it grow!

Memorial Weekend

We went to Brownwood and visited Chad's family. His mom cooked us lots of good food, and so did Memaw. We fished a lot and played golf. We met up with Chad's friends Chad V. and Kyle. Then we met my family in Cleburn for breakfast. So we got to see everybody and had a wonderful time. Now we have to drive home, stopping in Midland to do a ton of grocery shopping:(

Pecos Friends

I have a group of friends that meet for lunch every Tuesday. They are such sweet girls. We miss Stephanie who moved to Georgia!

Visiting San Angelo
