Happy Father's Day / Fletcher Visits

The first part of Father's Day weekend was spent w/ Eric and my nephews. They made a scavenger hunt for him all around the house to find their cards that we made for him. He had a great time! We had a great steak dinner and swam with the kids afterwards. Just a fun weekend all around!

We spent acutal Father's Day at my families house. Fletcher was here to visit MiMi and Paw Paw for 3 days...so we got in on the action.

This is my dad w/ the grandkids...Artie got him this shirt...it says Frank the tank (what he was called in football back in the day)



Grant and Fletcher became pretty good friends this vacation. Fletch really doesn't understand why Grant is still a little rough and doesn't really know how to play yet. But that will coming soon enough.

Pool day w/ MiMi, Lacy and Grant.

Week in Boerne

I am spending the week in Boerne (NW of San Antonio) to help take care of Artie's brother's kiddos. I have had a wonderful time so far. I have been cookin', cleanin', and cuttin'. I spent last night cutting the oldest's (Caleb) hair. He got a good buzz. Baseball has also been a big part of our week. Caleb made the Boerne "All Star" team, so he has had practice all week and now games have started. We are going to Castroville tonight to see him play. Ethan and Caleb both have been at writing camp this week. Not so sure they love that...but it is good for them. Aaron and I have been shopping partners all week. He is my right hand man at the grocery store and Wal-Mart. He reminds me so much of Artie with his little stubborn spirit, but he is a hugger and a kisser - can't beat that!!

Little bit of fishin' and swimmin'

The day after I got out of school, Artie and I got up EARLY and we went down to the farm to celebrate by catching some fish. This was the biggest all morning

Artie and all his glory.

We went down to our farm between Ennis and Corsicana @ Cryer Creek.

Artie's 2nd Catch

Website for you!

I found this website where I am having fun editing photos for free. Thought many of you would like to use this site also. It is www.picnik.com ENJOY! Here are a couple that I have done with adding color back to a black and white photo.

Little "G" turns the big 1!

Today, Grant had his first b-day party. The whole family was there along with some great friends. Here are just a few of the little guy on his big day!

OK - I just had to add this one - He got all yucky from eating his cake...so Lacy gave him a little bath. He then ran around in his real "birthday suit". I couldn't resist! The best part was he still had the party hat on!

Having fun with my new past time

Artie has forever been encouraging me to get more hobbies - since has a ton! So, photography has been keeping me busy lately. I spent yesterday afternoon after school taking pics of my aides son for his senior pics. He was great (for an 18 year old guy) and I think had as much fun as I did.
