Texas Fun!!

Chloe at sunset looking at about 10 deer.
JohnDavid was so tired, he couldn't even finish his cookie.

I see you.

The deer stand is always a good time.

These are Laredo "tickerth" also known as stickers. JohnDavid really did not enjoy them.

We took a short trip to Brett's brothers "ranchito" in Laredo, Texas. Besides their house in town they have 50 acres outside of town. We love to go and just play around with the wildlife. We enjoy target practice but the animals are more like family. We shoot them with the camera. Right now John is letting the pond dry up so that he can get the weeds out and make it bigger. Chloe and JohnDavid ran around the pond chasing butterflies. We were there in the middle of Monarch migration season.

Chloe saw the chance and took it to wear her metallic blue cowboy boots!!

Texas flag. But of course.

Small Town Life, gotta love it!!!

SOFTBALL

I have no idea where she gets the drive or the ability, but she is doing very well. Notice the look on her face as she throws the ball.

Small town Fall Festival.

Well, at least she is in the front seat.

Neighborhood park

We decided to take Scout to the lake to let him play ball to his hearts content. The kids had a blast throwing the ball into the water and watching him jump in after it. Summer is almost over, hard to believe.

Family Vacation 2009

This year we decided to surprise the kids with a vacation to Florida and DisneyWorld. We fibbed a bit and told them that we were taking our family vacation to San Antonio (which we have done several times). Once we were in the car and headed out, we broke the news. They were completely shocked and soooo excited. We stopped in Pensacola to spend some time at the beach then on to DisneyWorld.
