Brittany just had her baby girl... Loraini Josefine-- Raini for short. She is just a doll! Here are some pictures of her right after she was born. Congratulations Brittany!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Dallas survived his first Mini Camp with Eagles a couple weeks ago and did a great job out in Philly. It has been nice to have him home for a couple of weeks before he heads back out for his OTA's ("optional" team activities). Since he has been home a LOT has been happening! Last weekend was Dallas' Grandma Wonderful's 80th surprise birthday party! It was great to see her and to spend time with the family. She looks fabulous for 80!

We were also recently able to spend time with Dallas' other grandma, Grandma Ruth, who just had her birthday as well!

I forgot my camera, but a couple of weeks ago I was able to spend time with my family in Idaho (while Dallas was in Mini Camp) to celebrate my Gram's 90th birthday!!! Dallas and I are so fortunate to have so many amazing women in our life and even though it has passed, I wanted to wish all of them a Happy Mother's Day! We wouldn't be the people we are today without them!

Fly like an Eagle!!

This past weekend was the NFL draft and was very exciting for Dallas and I! Dallas is now a Philadelphia Eagle!! He signed a free agency contract with the Eagles and is excited to get things rolling with his new team. He has worked so hard all of his life and I am so proud of him for accomplishing one of his dreams. Thank you to everyone that has helped my sweet husband get to this point and for all of your support!

We are also excited for our other fellow Cougars who are taking their football careers to the next level and wish you the best of luck! Austin Collie: Indianapolis Colts; Fui Vakapuna: Cincinnati Bengals; Travis Bright: Dallas Cowboys; Ray Feinga: St. Louis Rams; David Oswald: St. Louis Rams; and David Nixon: Oakland Raiders!!

NEWSFLASH: Baby on Board!!!!

Dallas and I are extremely delighted to announce that... we are going to have a baby!! I just recently finished my first trimester, and WOW did it go fast! I have been plagued with morning sickness, but am crossing my fingers that cloud will lift any day now! I'm not really "showing" to the public eye yet, but I will try to take some photos and you can judge for yourself. I am excited for when I can fit into the cute maternity clothes that my mom got me for my birthday, though! I won't be able to find out if we're having a boy or girl for about another month or so, which is driving me crazy! I want to know sooo bad! Anyway, we are so excited and can't wait to introduce you to our bundle of joy in October!

Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Reynolds!!

On Friday, February 13, 2009, Matt and Brianna tied the knot! It was a beautiful day and we couldn't be happier for them. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds!! Here are a few pictures from the beautiful wedding. Becky and Brittany have more on their blogs from throughout the day. These are just a few I had on hand.

The beautiful, happy couple!!

I love this picture of Leslie and Lance

I look kinda scary here, but I was so happy to be with my Dallas that I had to post it!

Texas vs. the Nation

On Saturday, the 31st of January, Dallas played in the college all-star bowl game Texas vs. the Nation. This is a game where all-star players affiliated with the state of Texas play against all- stars from around the nation. Because of his name, Dallas was selected to represent the Texas team! He left on Sunday, January 25 to El Paso, TX to begin preparing for the game. It was a busy and exciting week for him- lots of meetings, practices, and interviews. That Wednesday, Dallas' parents, his Grandma Ruth, and I all flew to El Paso to see him. On Thursday, Lance Jr. flew in as well! This was my first time to Texas and it was so much fun! El Paso is right on the border of Mexico. In fact, some parts of the freeway and some of the roads are pretty much all that separate Juarez, Mexico and El Paso! Saturday was the all-star game and it was fun watching players from all over the country come together and have the ability to play a game in less than one week. Dallas did a fantastic job and I am so proud of him! We all had a great time in El Paso supporting Dallas and enjoyed being able to spend some time with him. I love you, Dallas! Nice work!!

Here are a few pictures from the trip!

Here are two pictures taken from the car on the freeway looking into Mexico!

Here is Dallas in his Texas jersey... it was so weird to see him wearing RED!

My Texas sized portion of country fried steak! It was huge!

Running onto the field. You can't tell from these pictures, but there were 45,000 fans there! That is quite a few for one of these types of games!
