Where have you been and War Hymn

Well, it has been awhile, I know. But I have a good excuse!! See Luke's shirt below

In case you cannot read it (because I didn't get a 'good' picture of it)...it says, "Big Brother." Yep, I'll be 13 weeks this Saturday! We are so excited. So, for all of you that give me a hard time about not posting often enough, go through the first trimester and see if you want to post! Plus, I'm so behind on getting the Christmas stuff up...it's becoming a snowball! I figure it can wait awhile so that I don't get behind on the here and now!

I have also been very busy trying to teach Luke the Aggie War Hymn. (With his memory, though, it didn't take long...) A woman has her priorities, you know! The a,b,c video will come later, but for now...the piece de resistance...




His head is cut off because he REFUSES to perform for a camera so I just laid it on the table and he didn't even know. Also, the words are below in case you cannot understand him.

Hullabaloo, Caneck, Caneck
Hullabaloo, Caneck, Caneck

Good bye to texas university
So long to the orange and the white
Good luck to dear old Texas Aggies
They are the boys who show the real old fight
'the eyes of Texas are upon you'
That is the song they sing so well
Sounds Like Hell (I did not teach him this part...he says, "huh huh huh"...he's not even 2...in time he will be jaded, but not yet!)
So good bye to texas university
We're gonna beat you all to Chigaroogarem
Chigaroogarem
Rough, Tough, Real stuff, Texas A&M

Saw varsity's horns off
Saw varsity's horns off
Saw varsity's horns off
Short! A!
Varsity's horns are sawed off
Varsity's horns are sawed off
Varsity's horns are sawed off
Short! A!


The next part that the band plays has several versions. I learned this one:

Late one night when the t-sips were in bed
'Ol Sull Ross lit a candle in the shed
and when the cow tipped it over
he winked his eye and said,
"It'll be a hot time in Austin tonight!"
