Texas Country Music

Randy Rogers Band

Wade Bowen

Jack Ingram

My favorite music to listen to is Texas Country. Ryan introduced it to me back in our Baylor days with the likes of Pat Green and Robert Earl Keen. We began listening to Jack Ingram the summer before we got married when we went to Austin to listen to the band that ended up playing at our wedding (The Harris & Ryden Band). Jack played after Harris & Ryden, and he put on an awesome show! Last Friday he was playing at a place called Mo's that was literally 5 minutes from our home. We were so excited! My parents watched Jack so we could enjoy the concert. It was so much fun! You will have to take a listen to one of his songs below. It is an acoustic version of "Good Night Moon;" one of our favorites! Listen also to the music by Randy Rogers and Wade Bowen...my 2 favorite Texas Country artists! When I was on their websites getting pictures I noticed that they both will be playing at House of Blues in Houston on November 17th! I want to go so bad! Maybe Ryan and I can find a sitter!

We had a fantastic Halloween weekend and what made it especially special was the fact that my parents came into town for the fun! We started the weekend off at the library for story time where all the kids dressed up and there were lots of goodies to eat. Jack began as a bear, and I soon realized that I should never order a costume online because it turned out to be a little too hot and itchy; making Jack's already sensitive skin turn red. My mom and I found the penguin outfit on clearance, and Jack seemed to enjoy wearing it. He loved crawling around the front yard in his costume; watching the other kids come by for candy. We got many a good laugh looking down on him in his costume when you could not see his face! He really brought the costume to life!
