Team Spirit!

Yes, I know...we're those people, the stupid humans that dress up their dogs. I just couldn't resist these cute little Longhorn outfits! We've dressed them up for every football game this season except last week against Texas Tech! So, please, don't blame Colt. Don't blame the defense that kept getting run over by the freakishly good Tech offense. It was our fault that we lost our #1 position in the polls. We hereby swear to dress our dogs in their game attire for every remaining game of the season, and with any luck, the National Championship. Hmmm...little superstitious?


Bella and Chloe, Longhorn fans

Freedom Journey


In December of 2006, just 2 years after Byron died in Iraq, we decided to take a "Freedom Journey." We spent 3weeks on a road trip through the eastern US - from Austin east to Savannah, then all the way north to New England, and back a little inland to Texas. We traveled over 6000 miles in an effort to see our beautiful country and understand what Byron sacrificed his life for. We drove scenic routes, through small towns and big cities, stopping at places that held history in shaping our nation. We stopped at Veteran's Memorials, National Cemeteries, historical monuments and some of the most beautiful places in America. In each place, we left a "Freedom Rock," a smooth stone that had Byron's name and KIA date on one side, and said "Freedom Isn't Free" on the other. It was our way of taking Byron with us and leaving a bit of him in each special place. This experience was so healing for us, and truly one of the most memorable and special events of our entire lives. Here are our favorite pictures from the Freedom Journey.
