SI-- WEEK SIXTEEN

Life has been busy busy in the Stoecker household! Since getting home from Texas on Wednesday, I've been on call all but one night. Eeek. That makes life a little crazy :) But it's been great because I am getting lots of practice at delivering babies! Although it was a lot of driving.. T and I loved our long weekend in Texas. My test went fine (I think!) and we were able to spend time with family and friends. We were treated to two awesome Tex-Mex meals and we made a last-minute to celebrate T's birthday by visiting here:

No, we didn't just do a drive-by of the stadium where T's beloved Dallas Cowboys play.. he got a "VIP" tour. Our good friends joined us as we were led through the 1.2 billion dollar building:

These two boys were practically drooling the whole tour

Our tour guide was filled with statistics -- and the screen stats were the most impressive. Each of those large screen weighs 1.2 million pounds (600 tons!). They cost Jerry Jones $40 million dollars -- which is about the total price of the old stadium. You can find more ridiculous stats here

This is a terrible picture with a reflection off the glass.. but it gives you some perspective
on how large the screen is in comparison to the people on the field

 We spent some time in the many lounges and suites around the stadium -- including Jerry Jone's perch:

[1] Jerry Jones' "perch" during the games
[2] the newest Ford vehicles displayed in the endzone
[3] Overhead lighting in one lounge that is designed as a football
[4] the college field in storage that is used for college games in the stadium 

The seats in the suites were definitely not your typical stadium seat:

We took a tour through the dressing rooms (including the cheerleader's):

Then, we finally made it to the field:

This really happened.. as well as a timed 40yrd dash and a jump to hit the goal posts

That completes the tour! We'll be spending the rest of our Sunday relaxing (until my pager goes off and it's time to deliver another baby...)
