Trip to St. Louis!

We had a great time this past weekend in St. Louis for my cousin Emily's wedding! It was great to see everyone and visit. Friday we left the airport and headed straight for White Castle's! YUMMY! I just love them! We got to my parents and got to see my new nephew Baby James for the first time! He is sooooo cute! Here he is with his cousins - Jake, Ryan and James!

We also took a family photo with my brother and sisters and parents which I thought I would share - gosh - time flies by! I remember when we were kids like it was yesterday! I love you all so much!!!!!!!!

My manly man!

Okay, so Tom could not believe that I did not add a picture of the barn for everyone to see! What a typical man! So, here it is....THE BARN!

On another note - my manly man is so proud of his new purchase - the commercial grade mosquito trap! I do have to say that it works GREAT! We have had it for less than a week and have caught/killed thousands of mosquitoes and flies! It is really awesome! Normally we don't have too much of a problem - but with all the rain that we got - it is really bad - BUT - not any more! It's amazing - we can sit outside or swim and not one bite! You should see how proud he his of this thing - he goes out there 5 times a day to look at it and see how many are in the bag! If he gets home after dark - he will take a flashlight outside to look at it! My manly man - proud of his mosquito catcher! :) Thank you Tom, for making our home a safer and more pleasant place for us to enjoy!

Home Sweet Home!

I just thought I would add some pictures of our place here in Texas! I know that a lot of family and friends have been here - but for those of you that have not - now you can picture where we are!

Our driveway thru the trees!



Home Sweet Home!


From the back pasture...


From the back, back, back pasture!

Splash park!

We went to a Splash Park today with some friends and had a great time! Ryan was taking a break and his friend was trying to convince him to go and play!

More from the Splash Park!

Jake is our water baby for sure! He had no fear whatsoever! He ran all over - big kids, little kids, lots of water - it did not matter - he had a blast!

Mama's little helpers!

Well, we all slept in today until 9am! My kids have NEVER done that! I awoke to find that Ryan had emptied the entire dishwasher and put everything in its proper place! When I opened it the only thing left were all the knives (cuz he knows he is not suppose to touch them!) What a wonderful helper! Now if I can just teach him to make the coffee in the morning! Hee-hee

Anyway - Jake got in on the action too as you can see in the pic!

My cowboy Ryan!

Here is my cowboy! He will soon be four - but man - he acts like he is 15!

Baby Jake

This is my baby Jake! He is 14 months old now and this picture won him the Kute Kids contest in a local moms magazine!

Still getting set up!

Well, I am trying to figure this out - so am posting some things!

The Moon's

Well, here we are! I am just getting started on this blogging thing - so we will see!

It's almost 2am and I need to go to bed but I am not tired at all!
